Surveys

Recently, we sent out invitations to participate in one question surveys to our email list.

The One-Skein Project survey asked:  

Which type of one-skein project are you most likely to choose in a fingering weight yarn?

542 knitters responded, with the following results:

Gloves       20%
Scarf (flat) Scarf (flat) 51%
Cowl Cowl          29%
Beret Beret          15%

(I just checked the math and these don't add up to 100% because people could select more than one.)


Next, the Choosing Yarn survey asked:

When choosing yarn, what most impacts your decision when price is similar and color is not an issue?

481 responded, with the following results:

Fiber Content   68.5%
Softness            27.5%
Twist or ply        3.2%
No response (wrote comments only)  less than 1%

We set this survey up so knitters could add comments.  We got lots of those and thank you!  Knitters are a thoughtful bunch and many like to share, which is how we all learn. 

The next survey, Luxury Fibers, went out a couple of days ago.  So far 320 have responded to the question:

When considering a luxury yarn, what fiber do you most prefer with merino?

Alpaca        28%
Cashmere   27%
Silk             41%
Other             3%  (this latter seems to mostly be combinations of the above)

We're having fun learning what knitters like.  Look for more surveys from Y2Knit!
