Weaving / Knitting Yarn Translation

Описание: One of the best parts of weaving is the yarn. There are so many colors, textures and fibers to work with. But you don't have to limit yourself to just weaving yarn; there is a whole world of knitting yarn out there just waiting for you to incorporate it into your next weaving project.

Before you grab a skein and start weaving, there are a few things you should know. In this episode of A Handwoven Experience, I consult with my friend Chris Hadaway to explore the wonderful world of knitting yarn. You see, knitting yarn has its own set of terms and categories. You absolutely can weave with it. But first you need to translate the knitting categories into weaving categories. Don't worry, we'll work through it together. Happy weaving!
