[Nfb-krafters-korner] yarn for making potholders and such?

[Terry Knox]

Melissa,
I agree with the post about 100% Cotton yarn, like Peach and Cream. However,
I add a caution. Dish cloths and those type of things are fine, watch out
for pot holders, a 4 ply yarn is fine for light potholders. A 4 ply does not
give great burn protection and uses to sit anything hot on. Watch your
pattern for description of ply of yarn and also some acrylic yarns will burn
and catch fire if they come in contact with a flame, which you would not
know. If you are just looking for light use on homemade potholders you are
fine, just be careful with heat use on some yarns.

I'm guessing that it should be 100% cotton?

Hi Melissa!
Any cotton yarn is great, and each brand name has different colors!

what's the most popular brand of yarn to make potholders, dishcloths, and
such?  I've found some patterns I'd like to try.  If I'm successfull, I'll
post them to the list.
