need Yarn to tie this quilt
#11
years ago i used embroider thread, did surgeon's knot. but with my husband sitting on the end of the bed, the ties started coming undone. i took them all out and used yarn. not sure what it was so long ago but it worked. Now not too long ago i used some yarn but after washing it looked terrible to me. i ended up giving that quilt to charity.
crochet thread i will have to look up.

I have always used wool yarn to tie my quilts. They never fall out and get tighter with each washing.

My preference eto be used with this beautiful quilt would be a Red Heart Acrylic yard but a solid dark purple that is variegated. No matter you are the quilter and what every flavor you like is what it needs to be. Nicely done. Can't wait to see it finished.
