YARN SUBSTITUTIONS:

https://amzn.to/4aCD8iG Lily Sugar’n Cream Cotton Yarn is a great option for this project. I have used this yarn for so many projects, for making baskets, bags, tops, sweaters, amigurumi. The quality of this yarn both gives and sustains a nice shape to the bags, baskets., or amigurumis. I very much recommend this yarn.

https://shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=1435396&u=3680099&m=59159&urllink=&afftrack= Dishie yarn by Knit Picks would be another great option for this project. Dishie yarn is 100% cotton yarn. They have so many color options for this yarn. You can mix and match the colors. I have also used this yarn for so many projects such as sweaters, tops, bags, amigurumis. Recommended very much!
