[Nfb-krafters-korner] latch hook kits

[Blindhands at aol.com]

All of us who do not see or can not determine colors have most likely been  
faced with organizing, sepparating and labeling particular colors with your 
 crafting.  You will need to do this with any of the latched hook  kits.  
Organization, being patient is a major job that any crafter blind or  sighted 
must deal with.  These are the two most important things that I had  to 
learn to master after I went blind and just had to get back to keeping my  
Blind Hands busy creating something I could talk and share with others.

Hi,
Maybe a talking color id would work on the colors of yarn. I  have used it 
on 
numberous items which is flat.
