Crocheting a bikini top—out of wool—seriously?

Crochet * The perfect bikini top * bustier for a summer top

well
it looks really nice, but it's probably not something you'd wear into the water
I've got nothing against crocheted, knitted, or sewn things
really not
otherwise I wouldn't be here in the forum
but I prefer to buy swimwear ready-made.

but still
as long as you don't go into the water with it, it's a great thing.

the lady at the end of the video wishes you a hot catch
can you catch men with it? ; )
I don't know.

Hi Hamster

In my subjective opinion, for swimming you should wear something made of Lycra. In other words, something that holds its shape, won’t soak up too much water, and will still keep its shape in the water.
It definitely makes sense to slip into dry clothes after swimming. And a wool bikini is certainly a good choice for that.

Wool bikinis wouldn’t be my thing, whether for swimming or for sunbathing.

Let’s say someone actually wanted to crochet or knit their own underwear—not swimwear.
What kind of wool or yarn would they need to use?
I’m not going to do this myself; it’s just a theoretical question.

Is there actually anyone here on the forum who sews underwear?

I like my underwear best made of cotton
Wool wouldn’t be for me

but unfortunately summer is over now.
No more bikinis
neither made of wool nor anything else
but theoretically you could go on a beach holiday somewhere far, far away where the sun shines
that would be nice

For a bikini, you use a stretchy yarn that dries quickly and is water-repellent.
