Today’s video is less about instruction and more about starting a conversation – it’s all about the translation between weaving/knitting yarn.
You see, while I’ve tried a lot of various crafts, weaving was the first place I really went down the rabbit hole. So when I think of yarn, I think of it from the perspective of a weaver. This means that when you tell me something is a “DK weight”, I have no idea what that means.
Thus, today’s episode was born! Let’s figure out a way to bridge the gap between knitting yarns and weaving yarns, so crafters can cross over the bridge much easier. Here we go!
Show Notes –
Knitting Yarn – I found a great resource for reading the knitting yarn labels and I especially like the chart about halfway down. For someone like me (who’s not a knitter), it’s a very thorough look at the yarn and what information you have at your fingertips. Click here to read all about the knitting yarn goodness.
Buying Weaving Yarn Online – If you are arriving at this conversation from a knitter’s or crocheter’s perspective, I have a great episode all about how to buy weaving yarn online. You can watch it right here.
