[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Colorwork, was Introduction

How do you get the label to stay in the yarn.
Yarn gets looser and looser as it is used.

I put braille labels in the center of my yarn balls, and pull the yarn from the outside.  Then, if I'm not sure which color I have in my hand, I look at the label.

I wish there was a better way.... I wonder... what if you put a sliding stitch marker on one color? So then you knew what color it was?

The yarns would have to be the same weight, or I'd have to do something complicated with gauge, but different enough to tell apart.  That's the tricky bit, and I haven't figured it out yet.

Apparently there are several methods of changing colors to make pictures. I guess it will have to be a retirement thing, which I hope is soon. There is a really cool craft store in one of the suburbs, where I can go and take a project and work on it there.
