Dear users, dear authors,
I have a question.
Over in the other thread, Traudelina wrote this:

Note: heat-resistant cotton yarn (= potholder yarn) is only
loosely twisted and is therefore difficult for beginners in particular to
crochet with, because the yarn splits very easily. So if
heat resistance is not that important to you, for example if you don’t place a hot
pot on the potholder, you can also crochet with a cotton blend yarn,
e.g. Pantino by Schoeller+Stahl.
Quote ends.
I always assumed that potholder yarn was well suited for beginners. Back when I was just starting out on CP and went to the craft store to buy some yarn so I could try out needlework and somehow join the conversation, the lady sold me potholder yarn as suitable for beginners.
Could you explain that to me again?
