[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Has anyone?

[Henry Osborne]

I of course wouldn't use a wool product unless it was for a placemat for 
under a supper plate, or for under a pot for a plant.
My Mom God rest her soul made a decorative bed throw for one of our camping 
trailers out of potholders that she sewed together.
I am very interested in Joyces future classes on potholder making and their 
uses.

Long ago, I used to see hot pads mad of fabric and they had, I think, beans 
inside.
Something dried to give them thickness and weigh them down!

What have you found potholders made out of?  What have you noticed to be a 
bit unusual potholders  made out of?

The loop potholders are made out of 100% cotton.  The thicker the more 
protective they are.

For quilted potholders they are usually done for "show" not use.  They do 
have fabric made especially for potholders to insulate them better and this 
is used inside the potholder.

Have you ever come across a wool potholder?  I am learning from a person who 
not only spins her own yarn, but makes potholder loops and dyes the yarn in 
wonderful colors.  More to come...
