iCord Question

#1

I am making an iCord for a hooded sweater. I am making it like the video from this site described. The cord seems thick. I was wondering if I can block it by stretching it and drying it so it is thinner. The yarn I am using is Encore DK yarn by Plymouth. It is 25% wool and 75% acrylic.

Thanks,

Jenny

If it’s 75% acrylic, it might not keep it’s blocked shape, but I could be wrong… :thinking:

I don’t think blocking acrylic or an i-cord will work. If the i-cord is too thick the best thing to do is to make it with less stitches.

Could you use smaller needles for the icord?
