What yarn do you use for afghans?

[TShell]

Just wondering what everyone uses. I've used different kinds. I have one in LB homespun, another in Red Heart Soft, and another in Caron Simply Soft.

I like the "soft" yarns, but the red heart soft is hard to find in stores around here. I was getting it from WalMart but they ran out and I had to buy online to finish the afghan.
My current afghan is the simply soft in lt. country blue.
I want to do one for the bedroom in red.

Most of the time I use Red Heart yarns, normally the Super Saver. It's easy to get and they have great colors. I like the Homespun too, and whatever else tempts me. :))

I normally use Red Heart Super Savor or Caron 1 Pound.

I've used Red Heart Super Saver, Red Heart Soft, Bernat, and really want to do something out of the Homespun. The afghans I have made with the Red Heart Soft yarn turned out really pretty, and are very soft.
