Batting for Potholders
#11
I got insulbrite at my Walmart, and I have some reflective stuff like you see on ironing boards I'm going to try one using one layer of reflective, and one layer of insulbrite. I thought two layers of W&N plus one of insul. was just thicker than I liked.

I have potholders that I made around 8 years ago. I used two layers of Quilter's Dream cotton batting. I didn't use the thinnest weight but the next one. I think it's the select weight. I don't like stiff potholders and these are just right. I also don't like the skimpy size you buy in the stores so I made mine a little bigger. They're big enough you can fold them in half and still use them if something's really, really hot.

Girls, are you going to shoot me? I crochet potholders with Royale Crochet Thread #3, a mercerized cotton. I join two using a stitch My Mother used, single crochet. They are real protection....I know, you are making your own fabric, but they fit the hand well, protect it and are great for taking things from the micro too. This time I used the Gee's Bend approach and used many stripes of color irregularly as if I was running out of thread.They brighten my day.

WalMart carries it if they have fabric. All our WalMarts still have fabric to one degree or another.
