Pattern was written specifically for the Lion Brand 24/7 cotton - one skein will make one towel. However, other cotton yarns may be used, of course, but you may need more than one skein, depending on what cotton yarn you’ve chosen.
100% cotton yarn is highly recommended because of its absorbancy. An acrylic yarn would be less absorbant.
