What yarn is good for crochet baskets?

This basket uses super bulky blanket yarn so it doesn’t stretch, making it a sturdy Easter basket.

You could also try some super bulky cotton as that also has very little stretch which would keep the basket firm even when it is filled with eggs and Easter goodies.
