Best yarn for a swimsuit/bikini? Larger cup sizes?

Best yarn for a swimsuit/bikini? Larger cup sizes?

I have been looking around on YouTube for a pattern for a bikini I like. So first question, do you guys have a specific yarn brand/line you recommend for this, like something durable under the sun and sea? I’m fine with hand washing. Second question, my bra size is 36 i. My breast are heavy and I would prefer a sturdy band under the cups. Do you guys have any suggestions on specific patterns or methods? TIA <3

Wrong side of mosaic blanket looks messy...to fleece or not to fleece...

Wrong side of mosaic blanket looks messy...to fleece or not to fleece...

So I'm making a mosaic blanket using a Yarnspirations free pattern (picture 1). This blanket is intended to be a gift for Christmas. I'm not thrilled with how irregular the wrong side is looking (picture 2). Unfortunately, I'm too far in the project to frog back to the first mosaic section and try anchored scs and still finish by Christmas. I was planning to attach a fleece backing to the project in order to 'hide' the wrong side (using another Yarnspirations tutorial). However, I just measured the width...59". The only fleece I can find is 58" across.

So my question for you all is...does the wrong side look too messy to give as a gift? If you recommend proceeding with fleecing the blanket how would you go about combining the two sections of fleece: center seam vertically down the middle or horizontally across the middle? Or is there a third solution?

What kind of yarn should I use?

What kind of yarn should I use?

I'm looking for affordable, natural fiber yarn. About worsted weight and soft/silky. I am going to make a pocket shawl, and want something that will survive being washed and won't feel itchy against my skin. I haven't decided on a color yet, and I need to see it in person (I am near Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Walmart, etc.). What do you all recommend?

Charging higher prices for international countries?

Charging higher prices for international countries?

Hey, everyone! I was curious, if I were to sell, for example, amigurumi, on like Etsy. I'm thinking, would I make the price the same price I would sell it for in Egypt?

Like, let's say I make a small octopus toy (Let's say about the size of my palm, so I can like estimate the amount of yarn, so not miniscule, but not enough to take up an entire 100g of yarn). I wouldn't be able to sell it for more than like, 50 pounds, because I wouldn't get many customers for more than that. Would it be unethical for me to sell it online for like $15 dollars, which would surpass the price of the yarn by a long shot, and get me around 230 pounds? I was thinking, well the prices on Etsy are mostly from users who have a better currency then me. If I sold it at the same price I would sell it domestically, it would be about 3 dollars. Is the 12 dollar markup unethical?

(This is currently all hypothetical, I haven't set up a shop or anything. My friend keeps suggesting I sell items, and I'm not sure if that will give me the profit she thinks it would.)
