stainless steel vs aluminium chimney linerwhat do I need for a gas boiler in a 100 yr old 2 story house?
You can use any yarn which gives the same tension(gauge) given in your patternThe gauge is usually given on the ball band.
Bamboo sock yarn is very soft and comes in various coloursHere is a link for you to look at.
It's a little heavier than most sock-weight yarns, but it's still quite thin.small enough an E-size crochet hook is a little big!.Caron Simply Soft (100% acrylic) and Caron Eco (I'm not 100% on the full name of the Eco blend, but it's cotton/acrylic Good luck!
Stainless steel has always been my choiceIt exceeds the level of corrosion resisistance offered by aluminum ( the minimum material requirement) and is far less likely to tear during installation in a mansonry chimneyThe fine print is this, although you are venting gas appliances now - the 100 year old has has vented oil maybe coal appliances in the pastThe deposits they leave behind never completely leave the chimney and aluminum will not withstand their corrosionThe answer is clearly stainless steel from a proffesional point of view.
