Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy working up the soap holder. :-)

How do you think it would work with Lion Brand cotton bon bons? I think I'm going to try.

I'm sorry I can't help you with the yarn. I'm unfamiliar with it but I do know that Red Heart makes a luster sheen. I'd love to hear feedback using the cotton bon bons!
