Types of yarn
Hello all, My wife showed me this article describing all the different kinds of yarn for crochet. This is useful for me to know when I want to make different kinds of projects that require a certain type of yarn. I thought it would be valuable to share this with you all. I was very surprised with how different yarns are compatible with different projects. https://easycrochet.com/different-types-of-yarn-explained/ Enjoy.

Beginners come here!
Hello everyone. I was once a beginner crocheter myself, and I know how hard it is to learn. Lucky for me, I had my mee-maw teach me with her self-made crochet hooks and such (miss her so much!)

Fold it in half and thread the two ends through the needle. Pull the ends through by approx 5cm, to create a loop in the thread away from the needle. Step 3 Take...
