[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Finding a particular yarn

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Lea.
In my experience, synthetic yarns vary widely in quality.  Some are soft;
others feel squeaky, and others are downright scratchy.  The ones that are
marketed as suitable for babies are usually nice and soft.

If you are a Bookshare member, I have a book from them called Blooming
Crochet which has a whole chapter on making flowers.  I have also found
flower patterns on freecrochet.com and similar sites.  I googled "free
pattern crochet flower", or something like that.  I even googled crochet
rose, and got a nice rose pattern.

Hi all.

i have a sweater  that is labelled 100 percent polyester and is so
soft. I love it and want to find yarn that feels just like it to make
scarfs for this winter. Would I just search for yarn that is 100
percent polyester? How do I know if it will feel the same ordering
online? What size should I get? I am not able to go to the store yet.
All stores are too far and would require Uber or Lyft and that will
cost about $15 each way so I shop online. I live down town so have a
grocery store across the street and drug stores on every corner but
nothing fun nearby.

Sorry if this is the wrong email list but I figured I would hit all
groups instead of sending the same email to the crochet and knitting
group.

I am also interested in learning how to knit or crochet flours and
leaves. I am wanting to make a few projects that would require this so
please lets do a class on making flours.

Thanks.

I am getting my hooks and looms this week and am so excited. I have a
couple of yarns on the way but need to get a few more.
