Question
csclark626
I a organizing a service project collecting baby blankets for our local NICU. A friend of mine is making some of the blankets and just emailed me with a question, but I don't have an answer. I'm hoping some of you do! Here's her question...
I have a bunch of yarn in the stash here and wanted to use some of it up on the next one (blanket) so I'm working away on a third one. It is a really cheap discount store yarn from before you were born (no joke!) and the blanket is working up as stiff as a board!! I am not finished yet and am doing it as one huge granny square to eliminate seams which would be even stiffer...but is there anything I could wash it in or anything I can do to make it softer? It would nearly stand in the corner by itself!! I'm hoping that as it gets bigger, I'm on row 14, it will soften some just from being flopped around...but not seeing too much promise. Any ideas? My frugal self kicked in and I thought I should use this up before buying more Bernat but ick...almost seems scratchy for a baby...
Thanks for your help!
