Crocheting With Cotton Twine

Bought this from the local haberdashery store for about RM2.50 each. They looked like perfect rolls of twine in the shop and I couldn't resist getting half a dozen of these. I'm planning to crochet some patterns from a book I borrowed from Margaret.

Don't the pictures look so zakka like! Anyways, I've tried a few patterns to see if the twine is workable or not. They're tough and rough at first, but after awhile the twine kinda just get soft and nice to touch. But be warned : blisters can happen if you're addicted to crocheting with them! LOL!
I'm going to try every small piece inside this book.

Here's one big one. Now to have it poster mounted on grey velvet!
