Claire at Cookston Crafts has written a really useful blog post on How to read a skein of yarn? Not only is the topic really interesting but also really useful as the knowledge will help you choose the right hand dyed yarns for your projects. It’s very easy to be seduced by the pretty skeins only to be disappointed by the effect when it’s knitted up, not because there is anything wrong with the yarn other than it isn’t what you were expecting or needing for your project.
While you are over on the Cookston Crafts website don’t forget to check out Claire’s yarn and the lovely Treat Boxes, pre-orders are now open for the May Treat Box.
