Question:

What would be the best kind of yarn to use?

I want to make a quot;cozyquot; for a french press coffee makerI already have a pattern.well, idea for a pattern in my headBut I want to know what type of yarn would be the best to useI'd like it to insulate and be absorbent and washable and not stretch out too much over time.I'm very new to knitting, so this might be a stupid question :/

Answer:

A catermrane has two seperate floats where a sil boat may appeare at firt glance has two it is only one formed to two points.
2 hulls on the cat large deck space and 2 narrow hulls for heads and sleepingEngine in both sides on most.Some larger 1 are quite fast but cruises are low as they over load them with all the belonging.They sail flat footed Single hulls 1 hull and displace a deeper draft can ride in rougher seasBut heal overSpace is quite lessdockage is lessThe cost for a cat is higher and there berth cost are greater if they can enter a harbor.
More space but you may not be able to load the cat as much as you could a monohullSome cats are faster some are not built to be fasterBerthing will likely be a little higher since you will need a berth for that width vessel but some cats like the Gemini are built to fit into a monohull berthComfort is generally better on catsSo the answer is what are you looking for?
Wool not only insulates well and has memory (keeps its shape over time), it is also flame and heat resistantAcrylic is notYou should not use acrylic in any application where it is possible for it to ignite or become hot enough to meltWhen it does melt, it will stick to anything, including skin, and you can't get it off while it continues to burn into whatever it is stuck toWool, on the other hand, is much safer in high heat applicationsIt does not melt when hot and will extinguish itself if you manage to get it to burn just as soon as you remove the heat sourceA friend with a fiber studio had a fire a few years backALL of the acrylic yarn meltedALL of the wool yarn remained physically usable though it had smoke damage (a smoky odor)Wool is the number one choice for socks because it insulates, stretches and springs back wash after wash (ie has memory), and wicks sweat away from the skinThese are the same qualities you seek in your cozyIf you choose to get pure wool and felt it, it will no longer wick moistureInstead it will repel moistureSo your best choice is a mercerized (it will clearly say super wash on the label) woolFor what you describe, I imagine one hank would be enough.
