New Mesh

I went to Joann Fabrics yesterday and bought almost a whole bolt of utility mesh. I noticed a couple of things right away.

First, the fabric is softer than the vintage Bucilla mesh I've been using. I think it would need to be handled carefully in order not to bunch up. I would need to be sure to stretch it after each pull of the yarn through the fabric.

Secondly, the fabric itself is spaced slightly differently.

Here's a comparison photo:


Bucilla on the left. Joann Fabrics mesh on the right.

Both will work. The Joann Fabric mesh will make a softer, sleeker product. Just remember to watch for bunching.

Thanks for visiting with me.
