100% wool do you have to buy a certin brand of wool yarn to make good quality covers??

You don't have to buy a particular brand, although this particular auction doesn't say what weight the yarn is. If it's too thin, you might not be able to get it to be watertight.

Ist lot is rug yarn--translates to icky rough stuff most likely
2nd lot too little info--always a turn off to me

the third lot looks like a good deal! i always find Red Heart type vintage yarns at thrift shops- they usually felt really well if they're not soft enough to knit up soakers & sweaters.

hope the handspun yarn lot is soft! that's why i usually avoid ordering yarn off ebay, because i never know how it feels!!
good luck!

It looks like you must've been outbid on all of them already. I am really tempted on that third one, though. Would make some fun randomly striped longies (maybe even several pairs).
