[Nfb-krafters-korner] Yarn question

[Karen]

I've been buying Lily Sugar'n Cream cotton yarn and love it. Last time it 
was on sale at Michaels another customer had a cart full of it. I only 
bought 10! I've read reviews of Bernat cotton where people said the colors 
bled in the wash and ruined their projects but haven't tried it myself. I've 
knitted several dishcloths for family and friends with the Lily and so far 
so good.

All I can find is standard weight, worsted weight in balls or cones.
However, the cone prices are pretty good, so it's a good resource. I have
heard that Peaches & Cream doesn't hold its color well but Bernet cotton
yarn does. Can anyone comment on that?

You can get 100% cotton yarn wich is bulky weight [8 ply] yarn sold on a
cone by Peaches and Cream

_www.elmore-pisgah.com_ (http://www.elmore-pisgah.com/)


They do have verbal description of the colors in the ombres under the
worstered weight yarn and they are located on the East Coast.

Wow,  that sounds cool. I have never found cotton in bulky. If you do, I
want
to  hear about it. I love working cotton yarn. I just cannot get into
acrylics.  I am working my first bulky yarn in 100% wool right now and it's
cool. I  think I still like cotton best. I want to learn to make place
mats.

Neva, I have used the two strands as one quite often, but was  hoping to
find
the bulky so I'd only have to use one strand, therefore less  costly, lol
(hubby has been eyeballing my yarn stash and saying "you need  more?" lol) I
found a you tube video this morning on makeing a placemat and  it looked
like
he was using 4 strands of cotton, he wa using the long loom  and doing the
figure 8 double knit wrap.
