Acrylic Yarn | InexpensiveLightweight Wide color range | Not as durable as other fibers May pill over time | Decorative bags or less frequently used items. |
Cotton-Acrylic Blend | Combines the durability of cotton with the lightness of acrylic Machine washableGood elasticity | It may not be as sturdy as 100% cotton yarn | Multipurpose bags for casual and frequent use. |
T-Shirt Yarn | Extremely durable Eco-friendly (often recycled)Unique texture and appearance | Can be heavyLimited elasticity | Heavy-duty totes and boho-style bags |
Jute Yarn | Durable and biodegradableNatural, rustic appearance Good for structured shapes | Coarse texture may be hard on hands while crocheting Can be heavy | Storage baskets and rustic market bags. |
Each type of yarn has its advantages and disadvantages, so the “best” yarn really depends on your specific needs for the project.
