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

[linda]

I like your idea.  My Braille skills are sufficient and label every thing I
can with my Braille labeler.  I save the bags my needles come in and put
Braille labels on them - I was thinking about labeling the ball band on each
ball of yarn, But that would be a mammoth undertaking at this point...that
"stash" we've been talking about, you know!

 

 Thanks,

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.
