[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Yarn we got for Christmas!

[Cathy Flesher]

Hi Terry,
With using yarn for macrame, It depends on whether the yarn will cling to itself or easily knot. Also the yarn must be able to hold its shape with stretching.

I was in Michaels awhile back and saw some yarn called a blanket in a ball or words to that effect. The yarn was very thick and soft and came in a large ball. Sorry don’t remember the brand. Never purchased it so don’t know anything  ore more. Try searching for blanket in a ball on google and see what you come up with. 

May God bless you.
 Cathy F
