List of Standard Crochet Hook Sizes

Understanding Crochet Thread

Make Sure You Understand Thread Sizes Before you buy crochet thread, it’s important to understand all about it. The biggest thing to know is how to choose the right thread size. Bigger is smaller. With yarn, the bigger the number, the thicker the yarn; the opposite is true with thread. With crochet thread, a size five is thicker than a size 30. If you want to work with crochet thread but you aren’t very used to it, you’ll want to start with a thicker thread, which means lower numbers. Yarn weights are numbered from zero to seven. Zero is the thinnest,…

Different Types of Yarn

What are the 3 major yarn categories? Animal fiber-based yarns. These yarns are sourced directly from domesticated animals and include yarn types such as Cashmere, Angora, Merino wool, and silk.

All about the Yarn – Very Important for all Crocheters !!

Read the Post below if you love Crocheting !! Yarn Weight Yarn weight simply means how big / thick a particular yarn is. The names given to each general category of weight are non-linear, which makes it a bit confusing at first.
