I'm allergic to mohair and most alpaca. (This may or may not apply to angora, too -- haven't verified against more than one brand.) My skin doesn't get on with certain types of acrylic, so it's easiest just to rule it out.
Laceweight is too fine for me to manipulate without a lot of hand pain. Learned that one the hard way. :/ Sport on up is best, but I can work with nice fingerings on a good day.
No alpaca, mohair, acrylic or laceweight, please!
