Do you struggle with knowing how to substitute yarns in a crochet pattern when you can't find the exact same yarn listed? Yarn substitution can be confusing, but with the expert guidance of instructor Robyn Chachula, you will soon understand how to easily choose and substitute yarns. Join Robin as she unlocks the mystery of yarn substitution. Learn how to choose the best yarn for any project--garments, home decor items, bags and more. Discover how to decipher yarn labels to find the fiber content, yardage and weight, and discover which of these attributes is the most important. You'll see which yarns drape well, which are light and cool, and which are durable. And, you'll learn which versatile yarn has the same qualities as either wool or cotton! Includes three exclusive projects. In this video class you'll learn how to: recognize the 3 families of yarn: plant, animal and acrylic; know when to substitute between yarn families, and when not to; determine which yarns drape the best for garments; tell which yarns are more durable and long-lasting; select a yarn that showcases the stitch pattern; choose yarns to avoid wool allergies; work a beautiful lattice stitch pattern; and make 3 exclusive crochet patterns: Light & Lacy Purse, Lattice Stitch Pillow and Raspberry Cowl. This class includes easy-to-read instructions and a symbol diagram for three exclusive projects made with different yarns: Light & Lacy Purse, Lattice Stitch Pillow and Raspberry Cowl. The basic stitch pattern is the same on all three projects, allowing you to clearly see and understand how different yarns suit different types of projects. DVDs are both PC and MAC compatible, as well as US television/DVD-player compatible. Skill Level: Confident Beginner
