True that! Even though I'm not a fan of Red Heart (they're rough, but they do soften a little when you wash). I'm little more of a fan of Hobby Lobby yarn. Not as rough as Red Heart. Lately I've been interested in KnitPicks. They have both silk/wool/alpaca/cashmere for a descent price. I haven't bought any yarn from them, I did get a nice set of interchangeable needles from them. But, plan on buying some yarn from them in the near future.

RH has actually gotten much softer than it used to be. I got some from my grandmother's neighbor, who is de-stashing, and compared it to some new skeins I got last fall. The old stuff is all rough, but the new stuff is really nice in comparison, and even better when washed. Caron is better, and not much more expensive. I've never used Hobby Lobby or KnitPicks yarns, but I will eventually.

Caron is good, despite the fact I haven't been able to use it. Simply Soft seem to be the only type of Caron yarn I see in the stores. On the other hand, I did see at least one or two other Caron yarns at Wal-Mart.
