Question:

What is the best wool to use for a crochet?

baby blanket .I am only a beginner.for example dk/chunky etc.

Answer:

Any baby yarn will do fine and is safe enough for a babyThey are usually the softer ones tooYou should stick with knitting worsted weight (4) just cause it is very common and easy to work withSince this is for a baby I would suggest choosing a yarn that is machine washable and dryable, I'm sure you can understand whyOther than baby yarns a nice soft worsted yarn is lion brand wool ease worsted weightThis gives a nice soft finished knit or crochetStay away from the red heart super saver cause they arent very softVanna chioce is nice and I also like bernat baby stepsThere are many organic cotton yarns out there too if you want a natural fiber yarnI'm not sure about straight wool as you never know how a baby with delicate skin will reactThey also tend to be scratchyThe best thing to do is head out to your local craft store and feel the yarn, this will give you the best idea on softnessJot down the store prices then head home and check onlineYou can usually beat the store prices and many stores will match their online priceHave fun!
Check: 1) That it is NOT made in ChinaTheir standards are awfulThere have been instances of dogs dying from eating dog treats made in China, and I would not feed anything made in China to anyone, animal or human2) The best before date on the boxIt won't hurt you if the cake mix has expired, but it might go stale or rancid and not taste goodI once had a bad box of Kraft Dinner that had expired the powdered cheese mix was brown and smelled badI would not buy expired frostingFrosting has ingredients in it that CAN go badCakes can be very good without frosting, you knowMake a sugar-water glaze and add a squirt of lemon juice to it 3) A cake pan is a cake panBy all means buy your 99-cent cake pan.
Read the boxSometimes, oil, eggsBuy it and get the aluminum baking pans or dollar eight inch cake layer pansGet vegetable oil sprayUsually it is smaller in volumeGet an eight inch square baking pan or shop at big lots.
Bake from scratch I doubt it will cost much more!
