Persian Tiles crochet

3 replies

I made a Persian Tiles blanket using the Stylecraft yarn recommended in the pattern. I am so happy with it, absolutely love sleeping under it! But it is very heavy and stretchy, actually quite difficult to manage as a blanket. I'd like to make another, but in a different, less stretchy, yarn. I don't think weight will be an issue if it doesn't stretch so much when I pull it.

Can anyone recommend a yarn that is light but not stretchy? I think pure cotton would actually be too heavy.

Love that pattern It's on my todo list....a lighter version could be t4ge yarnsmith marino that's on special at wool warehouse... Its lovely and great colours but quite a bit more expensive at 2.99 a ball.... Fantastic price for marino though....

Wouldn't 100% merino also be stretchy?

(But, oh, the squish! Surely there must be some project I can need must want to buy some for?)

Its not as stretchy as the acrylic so far ...but i could just be convincing myself . I've not got far on the project I've bought it for and am trying to justify buying more as the colours are so lovely....
