Crocheting diaper covers help

[mamauv4]

I am wanting to crochet covers but I don't know what yarn/wool to use? I am clueless when it comes to brands of yarn and quality.

I just started crocheting some of my own covers, so I will share what I have learned.

For my first, I just went to Joann's and bought some Paton's Classic Wool. It is pretty cheap and works well. You want worsted weight, NON-Superwash wool. My second soaker used yarn from Wool of the Andes, and I ordered some Purewool from a coop for a third soaker or longies. I have been buying 100% wool yarn (or merino or alpaca) vs. any kind of cotton or acrylic blended with wool.

Ravelry has some great patterns. Wigglebunz came highly recommended to me as a pay pattern. Dandelion Dreamers is a pretty good free pattern.

The ladies in the Craft Chat forum will also be able to help you out more. Good Luck!
