anyone ever made a blanket using this type of yarn? preferably crochet but knitting answers are fine toojust want your feedback on this product.
you need animal fiber because synthetic and plant fibers won't take the kool aid dye very wellthe colors won't be as bright or as permanent as they would be on animal fibersyou can still give the t-shirts a try if you like, just the effects will be better on animal fibersjust google dying yarn w/ kool-aidyou'll get pages and pages of hitsI've attached a link below that I think is one of the better oneshave fun!
Because this yarn is highly textured, you may find it a little harder to work withYou should use a simple stitch, whether knitting or crochet, since most of that yarn has so much variation in colour and texture, that any stitch pattern will be completely lost and wastedIf you have not used this before, I suggest that you crochet a sample gauge swatch - that's the proper way to do this anywayYou will want to find a hook of the right size that will be easy to work with, and that will give the kind of hand to the fabric that you wantYou may find that it's just too hard and you won't want to start a big project like a blanket! I personally don't really care for a lot of texture in the yarn for my work, so I am biasedYou, however, may like it a lotTry it and see.
