What kind of yarn should I use to knit or crochet a swimsuit?

Question by Katie h: What kind of yarn should I use to knit or crochet a swimsuit?
Looking to crochet (or knit) a bikini, but I need to know what kind of yarn to use and any links to sites with cute patterns would be helpful. Everyone says that swimsuits are just one of those things you shouldn’t knit because they stretch and sag, but I have seen patterns and nowdays there are so many different types of yarn, I know it’s possible. I know cotton should be avoided, and probably silk, but something with elastic, rayon, or nylon in it would probably work. Your thoughts?

We make prayer shawls, hats and scarves for needy children, and other items. We are having trouble reaching out to people because of the lack of supplies. Is there anyone who is willing to donate yarn or cash to buy yarn? It would be greatly appreciated, and any donations will be included in our bulletin. Thank you.

Question by Stacy J: Washable yarn for crochet/knitting other than acrylic?
I am just learning how to crochet and knit, and I know that wool has to be dry cleaned. Acrylic can be washed, but is a lot of times very rough. Is it that there are different types of acrylic yarn that are softer than others or is it actually different yarns? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
