    Lion brands 24/7 Cotton might be a good choice for a bag. It's a chainette yarn and I think it's mercerized cotton too. I haven't had a chance to work with it but I have touched it

      @@leestreeter7265 I love it too, and it's the only cotton yarn I'll use now. I read a lot of people saying that it's like rope, or it's not soft, but I disagree. Especially after washing....it gets SO soft. It makes the best dish cloths, and the size 3 is really nice for summer tee shirts. I'm still using dishcloths that I made a long time ago, and the color is still great, but the slight shine wears off after awhile. But that doesn't bother me.

      I googled mercerized cotton and it says it's more durable and won't melt if used for high heat like a pot holder. Thanks for your tip!!

    Hello, the bag pattern is great! Major difference between the 2 cotton used in your bag. 1 of them is a cotton acrylic yarn clean, which is more durable than 100% cotton. Both might be great for clothing. But the blend would be a lot for things likes, baskets, totes, toys alike.

    I've been using the same cotton. I made a sunflower to put on my key chain. After a month now, it doesn't look as pretty as it did when I i first made it. It's hard to describe, it shed cotton and looks bad. Made pot holders and dish cloths and have washed them. They're ok. Lots of cotton fuzz in the dryer lint trap. So I think it's good for that kind of project but not decorative things or wearables. Good to know you have same problem with this yarn. We're both on the hunt now for a better cotton. Thanks for the video!

      Lion Brand 24/7 cotton yarn is the best I've tried, and is the only one I'll use now. It's a mercerized cotton so it has a slight sheen to it. It washes beautifully, and is SO soft after washing, and the color doesn't fade.

    My go to cotton yarn for bags is Lion brand 24/7. I love the finished look and feel. It is a mercerised cotton that has a sheen that I think gives my bags that little bit of elegance look.

    I love this yarn BUT, I do find it fuzzes incredibly. I made a bag by Kristin Omdahl with a ton of fringe and I always get a gold (color used) is all over my clothing. I even washed it hoping it would go away, but it didn’t. I would still use it but not for wearables. Great video

    Thanks for the heads up. I’ve only bought cotton yarn for making tops. It was NOB HILL Bamboo Breeze 50% cotton, 50% rayon from bamboo. Herrshners had it on clearance sale for $1 a ball 50 grams (129yards). It was a little splitty but it holds up well. I was gifted some Cloud Cotton estelleyarns that I made a beach bag out of. It shed a little, and after it was washed and dried it looked a bit aged. My daughter is using it right now on her vacation. After she comes back we’ll find how well it holds up.

    YES to all this. I bought some in every color bc it was so soft and everyone raved about it. I mostly do amigurumi and it is so fragile, i barely tug on it and it will rip which means I have to redo so many pieces. I honestly don't know what this yarn would be good for and I'm stuck with so much.

    Yeah, I used that yarn in 2020 for a handful of projects and they didn’t hold up well enough for me to buy that yarn again. I’m trying to use cotton blends and chainette cotton yarns to reduce wrist, hand and elbow pain now, too. I’m currently using King Cole Finesse (77% cotton, 23% silk) and it feels so soft. I’m not sure if it would work for bags but I’m really enjoying the way it feels when I crochet. I’m using it to make a hexagon shirt.

    I really like that brand of cotton and have made many bags with it before. I usually launder and block the bags before I use them. Maybe you got a bad green. I also really like the K&C from Joann's maybe that yarn would work better for you. The green and blue look really good together and you work looks fantastic. Have a great one and ignore that ugly comment up there. I could feel your frustration.

    Lion Brand 24/7 is amazing for bags! It’s a nice, solid, mercerized cotton so there’s absolutely no halo effect even after using it as my daily carry for the past year! It’s not a yarn I’d recommend making a blanket out of or anything you’d want to snuggle with, as it isn’t super soft, but it’s very durable. Tons of colors available and most colors will also come in DK weight, if you have interest in thinner yarn.
    I used ILTY a few times and between the guilt of giving any money to Hobby Lobby and the end product made from their yarn being crummy compared to others, I don’t use it anymore.
    Sending good vibes to your family❤

    The only cotton I have used is Premier Home Cotton. It is not designed in my opinion for wearables, but it contains 15% polyester. Perhaps a fiber mix like that would be more durable than 100% cotton. Just a guess on my part.
