[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Want to know Wednesday

[Bernice Bird]

I'm with you. I don't like thinner yarn, because I'm too impatient to make progress on the project. Probably the only time I didn't mind using thin yarn was to make a layette  for a friend's baby. The pieces are small.
I pretty much let the project determine the yarn I use. 
I love the yarn called Feels like Butta, but I don't care what the label says. It doesn't work up like number 4 yarn. I have quite a bit of it, and I am going to double the yarn and try it. 
I love variegated and ombré yarn because of the interesting color combinations. I used to be able to see color, so I imagine what it will look like.
I mentioned a wool blend that was in my stash, and I think I will make a shawl out of it. I will double it and make it narrower than the shawl Shelly gave us the pattern for.

I don't have one favorite overall.  I like I love this yarn  for making Christmas bags because it has wonderful Christmas colors. I like simply soft for a medeium weight sweater. It also makes pretty good bears.   I made a pink sweater recently which I love, but I forgot what brand it is. I use all kinds of yarn for scarves to get the variety.   I used to like woolese but can't find it any more in large skeins and small ones are too expensive that I have found. If I use yarn smaller than 3-ply, I double it because I am too impatient to spend so long making something that fine.  And you get an interesting effect with two colors together. 
Even though I can't see color, I love getting color effects.  Peoples' 
opinions and reactions to color are interesting to me.   Clearly, I work a lot with acrylic because it is washable and dryable and does not shrink. I may have to change that because of environmental concerns.

Best,

Ramona
