[Nfb-krafters-korner] unraveling yarn talk

[Ramona Walhof]

Lisamaria, sometimes the labels are hard to read.  As you would expect, 
colors, print size, etc., make it hard to find what you are looking for. 
But Kathy gave good information.  Practice reading it will help any reader. 
Michaels usually has a clerk who has some knowledge about the labels, but 
not all of them. I always want to know what yarn is made of, and sometimes 
it is not easy to find, but it is supposed to be there, and I think it is.
