You are begining a worth while craft. To begin, you must purchase a needle and some yarn. I recomend either I, H, or G size hooks to learn with. Smaller sizes are harder to manipulate. Yarn is not difficult. Please do not start with Chenille or wool. The regular yarn you can find at Wal-mart and other stores in good enough. Also, purchase a light colored yarn to be able to see what you are doing. Once again, smaller size yarn such as thread is difficult to manipulate To test the strength of the yarn, take your thumb and index finger and rub a couple of strands between them. If it frays alot, don't buy it. Test a few types and you will understand what I am talking about. Also you need a good pair of scissors. Not a pair that you would use on anything but your projects. Dull scissors are a crafter's nightmare. Congratulations on your interest and if you have ANY questions e-mail and I will respond as quickly as possible. |
