best for swim suits?

celeste recommends this: Espirt's Sock It to Me!

 

anyone else have any recommendations? i plan to make my daughter a bikini and want it to be right the first time

 

this pattern calls for speed-cro-sheen

and this calls for something i don't even think exists any longer:AMERICAN THREAD COMPANY "STAR" PEARL COTTON, ARTICLE 90, SIZE 5, 50 YD. BALLS

those are really cute!! maybe the rh lustersheen would be a good choice. there's another i was thinking of but my mind just went blank. I'll post it if it comes back to me.

I'm by no means a yarn expert, but I saw some sock yarn the other day that was like 60% cotton and 40% nylon. I think that would combine comfort with stretchiness so it won't just randomly fall off.

I posted photos on my blog of one of the bikinis I made using the Espirit sock yarn if you're interested in seeing it.
