You can replace any of the yarn brands with anything you prefer 🙂 I know that Big Twist Baby Bear isn’t available anymore and the alternative is Loops and Threads. I’m not quite sure if they are exact dupes because Erica from Doseofkawaii showed that the Big Twist Posh isn’t the exact same as the Loops and Threads Posh Purl. They mention that it is the same on their website but it might not be. Maybe in the future they might change it but for now it’s as good as it’s going to get. Or you can use Premier Parfait Chunky. I love that brand too 🙂
