    Doubling up the Yarn

    Hey, yawl!!

    I am making some fresh kitchen towels, hot pads, etc... and am using 2 100% cotton yarns by Peaches & Creme one named Yellow and the other is Happy Go Lucky which is white with little flecks of lime green, yellow and turquoise blues.

    So far, I have made one little 8 by 8 towel and just for grins the second one I am making doubling up the yarns. I LOVE IT!! The fabric is super solid and I bet I could even make a rug this way!!

    I am doing all in sc as I think it is easy to do in a tight stitch even if it is time consuming! I am using a K size hook. No pattern, I am just making these in the sizes I want for my little kitchen.

    Happy Crafting!
    Landon

    Great idea Landon, I want to make some more kitchen towels and dish cloths for my new kitchen I'm going to be getting pretty soon. I want some in browns, tans and black varigetated and then some bright reds. That would be a good idea to make for the yard sale the group is putting on for the meeting we are having. Thinking out loud here...

    Landon thanks for the comments about the doubled yarns. I am making little critters for Easter for the grandkids with double yarn. Works well to keep in fiberfill and makes such a nice feel. Fun !

    You girls just gave me an idea of what to do with my little tiny yarns. I didn't know what to use them for ......now I do. They are like string.... too little to use alone for any of my projects. I will see what I can come up with using several together. Should make nice place mats I think. Thanks for the ideas. XOXOXOXO, Patty
