We are excited to talk all things fiber and yarn weights in this class! When getting started I didn't know why you would use a worsted weight yarn or sock weight yarn. Nor did I understand that choosing cotton over wool had any difference except in the feel of it. We will begin the class discussing various types of fiber and the advantages to each content type, what works up similarly, and when is a good time to substitute a yarn fiber. If you have an allergy, we will be able to help guide you to alternative options for your projects and the best practices to find patterns for the fiber content you prefer. The second half will review different yarn weights and how they are utilized in patterns and why you may use a different weight yarn than why the pattern was designed. We will review the various types of fabric created with different yarn weights and how to convert a pattern if desired. If you have a pattern you are interested in understanding how to best substitute yarn, bring it with you. If you have yarn that you are trying to figure out its best use, bring that with you. We will spend the last portion of the class reviewing and determining the best options available to you.
Materials Required: Any pattern or yarn students want to discuss, Notebook and pen
