These doilies are fun and easy to make. Adjusting the hook size to accommodate your yarn is easy to do. This is not a washable yarn. If you want a washable yarn, you have many choices available. These can be made quickly & make great gifts. Use them as decorative pieces under plants, pictures or accents on a table, desk, end or coffee table. They have endless possibilities. Just have fun with them. Enjoy! AnnaLu
