If you are not morally opposed to acrylic, those yarns are also really good. Many are machine washable and softer than cotton. One generally needs to use smaller than recommended needles for the yarn so that the resulting fabric is tight and stuffing does not poke out.

I do this all the time :) I even yanked out a circular doing 2 circ method once, because I forgot it was not a DPN.
