[Nfb-krafters-korner] Starbella yarn question

[Barb Roland]

LM, you don't want to "split open" the edges, is your mom sighted? If she is 
have her watch this video

Crochet

Loom knit
I'll send this after I find it.

When you pull off the skein, it will look like a tape or wide flat yarn, you 
will need to spread it open, you will have netting only on one edge and the 
other edge will have a thin ribbon of material, you will work with the 
netted edge by placing the net onto your needle, hook or loom.
Hope that helps.
Barb
