[Nfb-krafters-korner] Wednesday's question

[Zimmer, Cindy]

Nella,
 You can use different types of yarn in the same project, just remember that it would change your "gage" so you would need to adjust for that if necessary.

I love all kinds of textures for yarns and fabrics.

I really like soft yarn.  I also like those that are not the same thickness along the thread.

I like how using different stitches in knitting and crochet make the finished item feel.

I wonder if you can use different types of yarn in the same project?

I love feeling of all the kinds of fabric in the store.  I like smooth textures like satins and ones where you can feel a design.  One of my favorite things to do is to go into a fabric store and just touch everything.  It is very disappointing when I find a nice texture only to find out the color is unattractive.

Hi Nella and Joyce and all, I like a soft texture for yarns, and any type of a tactual texture for a knitted or crocheted project like bumpy or with ribs and valleys etc.

Hello All:



Joyce has asked me to post a question or topic for discussion each Wednesday.  If any of you have questions or topics please send them to me or Joyce.



I can be contacted at jellybeanfarm at gmail.com



Joyce can be contacted at blindhands at aol.com



Also if any of you have thoughts on a catchy name for this project please let me know.  Right now I will call it Wednesday's question.



So here goes our first question.



Since most of you are unable to see color or see it well do you rely more on textures?



If so what kind of textures are you drawn to?



This can apply to yarns, fabrics, beads and anything else you use in your craft.



Also do you craft with the end texture or textures in mind?



I'm looking forward to reading all the responses.



Nella
