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,

I always use cotton yarn.

 

Best,

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,
