Large Hand Crocheted
What is the best yarn....................?
for crocheting baby booties, that won't shrink?
I've been using Patons Grace 100 perent cotton and also Sinfona 100 percent mercerized cotton. But, even though I only hand-wash them in cool water, and do not put them in the dryer, they still shrink significantly the first time they are washed, and I am NOT good at altering patterns to make them larger to allow for the shrinkage.....
I've tried acrylic but it gives kind of a fuzzy appearance to the booties that I don't like....
Thanks for suggestions....
I was going to suggest Debbie Bliss' Cotton Angora, but it does have a soft, fuzzy look.
Coats and Clark's TLC Cotton Plus is 51% cotton-49% acrylic. It might work for you.
However, you can always go up a size or two on the hook to make the booties larger and plan for shrinkage, and keep using the Grace or Sinfona.
