[Nfb-krafters-korner] super bulky yarn for babies and toddlers, among other yarn chatter

[Powers, Terry (NIH/NCI) [E]]

Home town has a chuncky polyester multi pink, called azailia.  Mostly hot pink with a little liter pinks.
Why do you want cotton.  It is to thin for a scarf.

Subject: [Nfb-krafters-korner] super bulky yarn for babies and toddlers, among other yarn chatter

Hello all,

 

I have been searching for a nice yarn to use for Minh's scarf class. I want a pink in a cotton
blend, but haven't quite found what I want yet.

 

However, I saw this Bernat tizzy yarn made for baby and toddler items and knew that some of you
might be interested in checking it out. It is a super-bulky yarn 100% polyester. Sorry I do not
have descriptions of the colors. There is a pink, but the person I want to make the scarf for is
75, so I don't think it would do for her.

 

Here is the link to the yarn:

I did check out the knit picks Billow cotton yarn which is a bulky yarn, but I did not like the
reviews I saw for it. the yarn is very textured and there are thick parts and other parts as thin
as thread. Not what I'm looking for at all.

 

I also checked into the I love this cotton yarn and there were many colors and I was excited to
give this medium weight yarn a try, but I could not find the button to submit my order. how very
frustrating.  Maybe I will call them to order via phone, because they do have a wide variety of
colors including a number of pinks. They also have a sale on right now for 40% off you highest
priced item.

 

Then there is lion brand's cotton-ease a 4-plycotton blend yarn that I have tried and like. but of
course they don't have pink!

 

Any ideas for me out there?

  

 

Cathy F
