Choosing Yarn by Project

Cotton-acrylic (Jeans) or chenille for amigurumi; hypoallergenic cotton and chenille for baby knits; mercerised and cotton for summer; wool-acrylic blends for winter; raffia and paper yarn for bags and baskets; macramé cord for wall hangings and plant hangers. The hook or needle size and weight on the label are the basis of every yarn estimate; buy one dye lot for colour-graded work.
