My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

I Love This Cotton yarn?

11 years ago

Why is this yarn so soft and flimsy compared to Peaches & Creme even though both have a weight of 4?

I bought 4 skeins on sale and attempted using some from each for making or binding crocheted washcloths.

But I found it's hard to work with and it stretches & sheds quite easily. I wish I would have known then what I do now or I'd save the approximate $12. :-(

I don't know what else to use it for now.
