Messy i-cord
I've never made i-cord and thought I'd try it to make this: http://www.carissaknits.com/2007/06/basketweave-headband.html
The i-cord in the photo is nice and neat, using Sugar & Cream yarn. Mine, however, is messy, with tension that alternates from loose to tight. The plies are separating, too.
I want my headband to be as pretty as the one in the photo. Could I just use another kind of yarn, such as an acrylic or a wool blend, or would the headband be too stretchy?
This pattern would be a terrific stash buster, and quite a few people have told me they want them for stocking stuffers. I'd certainly like to accommodate them.
What do you think?
