Yah, my grandmother is an amazing knitter and creates beautiful scarves and sweaters and such, but she uses (by budget necessity, I assume) cheap acrylic yarn all the time, which really impacts the wearability of the finished garment. She's on a fixed income, so she unfortunately can't afford to spend $$$ on yarn, but otoh, it's sad to see her put so much effort into a piece and then not have it be worn because it just feels yucky :(
