About
An in-depth guide to choosing the right yarn for your project--including 10 patterns that explore how different yarns affect the outcome of your final product.
When beginning a project, every knitter confronts the question: "What yarn should I use?" The answer can be complicated. Sometimes the recommended brand is unavailable or too expensive--or you'd rather use extra yarn from your stash. But even similar products might yield different results, altering structure, size, and texture.
