My #crochet #knit and #yarn friends, has anyone worked with jute or similar? I'm wondering how rough it is on the hands. I''ve seen some cute bag patterns but hesitate to commit because I don't want to destroy my fingers. #crochetstr #knitstr #yarnstr

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking. I'm not a fan of the rougher cotton, it doesn't quite destroy my hands but it's not great. I don't know that I'd be able to work with gloves on...Thanks for the input!! Would zap, but the node is down π. Will get you π.
Oooo I didn't even think about tension being a problem π. I'm so spoiled to nice yarn that the cotton that's not smooth like Lily 'n Cream irritates my hands after a while. I think I'll just admire the bags and move on, lol. The ones I was checking out were what looked like a moss stitch and were bigger bags, so probably a nightmare or would take a year to crochet only doing a little every so often. I think maybe the better option would be to cut a base out of something sturdy and just have floppy sides. Thanks for the input π, I'll zap when the node is back up β‘π«
That's where I'm landing on it. I try to not be uppity, but it makes such a huge difference when the yarn just glides across the hook and hands. And my elbow and shoulder do not like the sticky (for lack of a better word) yarns π΅π. A friend got me a macrame book that has a really cute bag in it, but it's a little confusing to read the directions. I need to check out some videos on it... She told me that I needed a new hobby π.
π Yes!! I made her a plant holder and it turned out so cute, I forgot to take a picture of it. It was the most beginner pattern in the book and it took about 5 tries to get it right.
