They each have their own characteristics and (my opinion anyway) can have a different gauge and drape differently from each other.

The pattern calls for worsted weight--but, on one of the pictures, they used Plymouth Encore, and this is a blend of acrylic and wool. I chose this yarn beacause I really like knitting with it. But, I may have to choose another yarn, or another pattern.
