Because this yarn is part nylon, it cannot be used as a hot pad/trivet. It could melt. I mean, I haven’t tested it, I just know it shouldn’t be used.

2 strands held together, 8mm hook for all except for the slst round on which I used a 9mm hook.

To come close to gauge, I had to crochet an extra round and worked to 54 sts. It’s still too small, but isn’t firm enough to go any bigger without it being floppy. I may try 3 strands, or I may just use the remaining yarn for nesting baskets.
