[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Crochet floss

[carcione at access.net]

Hi Cindy.

Do you know what weight, like lace, fingering, etc, the crochet floss is?  Or is it its own weight, maybe thinner than lace?  

I’m OK with fingering, and I’m going to try lace weight some time this winter, but I don’t know how I’d do with something thinner than that.

I believe Tracy is referring to crochet thread which is NOT the embroidery/cross stitch floss that you are talking about. The skeins come in a cake like sugar and cream cotton.

I use it for embroidery. It might be difficult because it is designed to be split into six strands. A hook might tend to go through the floss instead of catching it. Also, there are very small scaines. It would take a lot to crochet anything, but since I rarely crochet, I may be wrong.

I was looking at some granny square patterns, and I saw one for a phone bag that uses floss.  Is that the same as lace weight?  Has anyone used it, and was it easy to crochet with?
