[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Yarn for throw

[slery]

One thing to consider, is if it washes the same. Not just the washing 
directions, but if it has any type of shrinkage or distortion the 
washing makes. This can cause the logo to distort and or pull on the 
yarn around it. I have not used either yarn, so I cannot tell you what 
will happen. Perhaps buy an extra skein of each and do a small square 
using the logo/part of the logo and wash it how it will be cared for to 
see if it makes any difference. Depending on where you are buying the 
yarn from, you might be able to return the one brand and rebuy in the 
other if you need to.
