[NFB-Blind-Crafters] fwd: Yarn question, please

[Debra Trevino]

The question is what weight do I use?

I have some I use for dish cloths but the sample soap sack I have is made with something thinner than these one-pound cones.

Thanks and blessings,

Deb Trevino

I always use cotton yarn.

Debbie T isn't sure if her message made it to the list, and neither am I, so here it is.  Sorry if it's a repeat.
She wants to make a soap sack.

I want to make this project and not sure what yarn to use as some of mine doesn't have labels any more. I have used the cotton which comes on one-pound cones and am pretty sure I need something thinner.

Simple Soap Sack
Materials
Aran / worsted cotton in 2 colors (around 10g in total)
4.5mm (G or 7 US) hook


The woman who gave me the pattern gave me a sample of the soap sack and the yarn feels to me like it is a blend of cotton and something else. It is stretchy.

Any help appreciated.

Blessings,

Deb Trevino
