You will agree with me when I'll say that yarn can have a special place in anyone's heart. Being part of the yarn community is an experience and it's satisfyingly weird for me how I can talk hours about yarn with complete strangers on Instagram.
However, this special thing can cause great troubles for inexperienced makers and beginners.
Let's say you want to start with a crochet pattern for a basic crochet crop top. If you're a TOTAL beginner, you will definitely get one or more of these questions.
What are the yarn varieties available in India?
Which hook/ needle should I use with this yarn?
What is the thickness of this yarn?
I want to follow this pattern using #4 Worsted weight yarn. Which variety of yarn should I use?
Where can I find these yarns online in India?
I'm here to tell you that the Indian Yarn Weights and Varieties PDF answers ALL of these questions and you will never have to research anything ever again. Let's see how with an example.
Pattern: Crochet Scallop Tee by @forthefrills
Yarn Used: Rico Creative Cotton Aran (Aran/Worsted (10 ply))
Hook Size: 5mm
Now, of course we don't have this variety available in India. So, how can you use the PDF for this?
YARN AND THEIR HOOK/ NEEDLE SIZES
The first page lists all the weights of yarns that are available in India (almost all of them are). So, for the #4 (medium weight) yarn, there can be Worsted, Aran, and Afghan varieties of yarns. They are all really close in thickness and you can never tell which is which.
YARN VARIETIES AND ONLINE YARN STORES
Then comes the next two pages! They list all these different varieties of yarn with suitable recommendations and online stores offering them at affordable prices.
Also, do you see the underlines below them? That's right, they have hyperlinks!! You can land on your favourite online yarn shop's website directly from the PDF.
This is the scariest snippet for me because I'm giving away the most important yarn weight away for you. But the best part, I'm never deleting this space. You can always refer here when you need help with Worsted weight yarn.
But also, think of all the other (fingering, afghan, chunky and bulky) yarn weights that you will have information about at your hand!
My love, a lot more things are coming but this is where you start! This PDF is where you invest in your time and stop spending hours on research.
