I'm working with 4-Hers age 10 - 16,. IN are scaraves, and they really like the Lion brand "homespun" which is bulky, has great colors and works up fast. NOT my favorite, but they love it and it's a better choice than reg acrylic. Friend is doing LONG scarves - very in in S CA now, using size 17 needle and one size 9 to make the scarf. Does garter stitch. Have one girl ready to try that.....cast on about 25 sts and go for 6 - 8 feet.
My girls are all doing hats and scarves right now, but do love to shop in my basket of one of a kind handspun. LOL One of my girls also had idea to make squatres for afghan for homeless project Michaels has going. Do a square and take it in to donate, or do 49 squares and put them together for your own afghan. Quick and easy project in stockinette or garter in ACRYLIC only *yuck* but required. We have donated stash of acrylic so it works for us. Try Brown sheep yarns - my girls find they are economical and HUGE range of colors. Also come in various weights but they like the worsted weight singles as they knit up fast, a BIG consideration at first is to finish projects. Good luck. You're free to contact me off list if you want to chat more, be sure to ID yourself in subject line or I'll delete as junque.
