I made a Cotton Cloth, yes You have read correctly: 100% Cotton. I learned how I should to do with cotton on YouTube Koala Kniths and Knacks and this is my first Cooton Cloth. Good idea for gift. I will to do more this week.

I am planning to make a Loop Shawl for my sister-in-law. I have never used Caron Cakes yarn before. The pattern says it needs a certain number of cakes/cones/skeins depending on the type of yarn used.. My question is this: 1. How many yards do I actually need? 2. Do these yarns come in different sizes of cakes? For example, I know that not all Lion Brand Yarns of the same brand come in only one size of skein. When I am looking at the yarn and consider what I need to buy, I need to know if the cake I am looking at is the same size of cake as the pattern calls for. Does this make sense?

Unlimited FREE yarn forever OR every knitting machine you ever want for free—but you still have to buy the yarn?

I have completed the first step in making the basket my daughter has requested. I have tied about 250-ish square knots to create the varigated yarn to start making the icord. I used yarn I already had and had ChatGPT help me get the colors into random lengths and order to try to avoid the look of stripes or sloppy columns. The one on the left is first and will continue to the one on the right. I hand cranked the cakes as I tied the yarn pieces together.
