For this pattern I used bulky yarn- I mean very bulky yarn I had at home.
The label is not so informative because I got it from a yard sale. but it has a bit of wool in it which is not perfect for baskets but gives the yarn so much texture!
I recommend using 100% cotton or acrylic yarn for storage items.
