Do you want a yarn that is bouncy and elastic; soft and cozy and/or firm and hard working? Want something machine washable, or is washing by hand okay to you?
What fiber content is best for the type of project you're making? Is it a sweater, hat, scarf, mittens, bag? There are important things to consider with each different type of project.
