How do I choose the best yarn?
The weight of the yarn you choose must suit your particular project. If you're making a light shawl, you won't need a heavy, chunky yarn. Conversely, if you're knitting a winter blanket, you want to avoid using a thin, lacey yarn for that assembly. The thickness of your yarn will affect how the finished product looks.9 Nov 2020
