[Nfb-krafters-korner] Color Scanners; was -- patience, patience, patience

[Eileen Scrivani]

Well other options that could help you are to make up Braille index cards 
with the yarn brand & name along with its weight.  Then place that 
particular type of yarn in one of those sweater storage type bags and put 
the Brailled index card in with it.  If you are not open to learning Braille 
I suppose you could use a Pen Friend type label and put that in or on the 
bag.

Personally, I think the low tech options are the best thing for this type of 
labeling because technology keeps changing and what works today & is the in 
thing may not work tomorrow.  At least with Braille you just need your 
fingers to read & figure out what's in your yarn stash.
