Yarns similar to Patons Divine and Jo-Ann Sensations Angel Hair?
I've become obsessed with these bulky, oh-so-plush and irresistible yarns, but they're relatively hard to find (at least compared to other scratchier acrylics out there). So next time I go yarn shopping, if I'm looking for something like those two brands with that same super soft texture, what should I look for?
And while I'm here, are there any yarn companies that sell bamboo yarn in decently sized skeins? I LOVE Bernat Bamboo, but it's kind of pricey for such a small amount. So is there another company that sells comparable yarn for a better value for the size? Or does anyone know where I can find the Bernat Bamboo elsewhere for a bargain? Besides eBay, of course, which is always the number one stop for any yarn venture. 
yarn similar to Patons Divine and Joann sensations Angel hair:
'Knitpicks Suri Dream' gives a somewhat similar effect, and is inexpensive. The suggested gauges are quite different, although they’re both super bulky - I think the core of Suri Dream is thinner, but you can make up for that, I think, based on the yarns you combine with it for that pattern.
You’d have to hand wash it, though.
'Rowan Kid Classic'
'Cracksilk Haze' would be a much more expensive substitute.
'Red Heart Symphony' would probably work as well.
ETA: not sure where else they sell bamboo yarn in decent size to be exact but you can see here
