WORSTED YARNS

  H I FRIENDS,                          HERE AM SHARING SOME INFORMATION ABOUT WORSTED YARNS.... WORSTED YARNS ARE HIGH QUALITY WOOLEN YARNS. . INITIALLY I THOUGHT WORSTED YARNS ARE BAD YARNS (SORRY)... WORSTED YARN IS USED FOR CARPETS,CLOTHING, HOSIERY,GLOVES AND   BLAZE.. IN SHORT  ITS A MEDIUM SIZE YARN... THE NAME DERIVED FROM WORSTEAD , A VILLAGE IN NORFOLK(ENGLISH  COUNTRY). IN 12TH CENTURY , THAT VILLAGE WITH NORTH WALSHAM AND AYLSHAM ,  FORMED  A  MANUFACTURING CENTER  FOR YARN... WORSTED WAS MADE FROM THE LONG STAPLE WOOL FROM SHEEP BREEDS.. . SHEEP BREEDS SUCH AS TEESWATERS, OLD LEICESTER LONGWOOL AND  ROMNEY  MARSH.. PASTURES WOOL WAS NOT CARDED..... INSTEAD IT WAS WASHED , GRILLED AND  COMBED, OILED AND FINALLY SPUN.... ALSO A TERM CALLED WORSTED WEIGHT YARNS . WORSTED WEIGHT YARN SAYS ABOUT THE NUMBER OF HANKS OF YARNS . THAT IS MEDIUM...

CROCHET MINI PROJECTS

CROCHET SIMPLE PROJECTS

 HI FRIENDS,                               HERE AM SHARING SOME INFORMATION ABOUT SIMPLE PROJECTS FOR BEGINNERS.. BEGINNERS USUALLY  DO HEAD BANDS AFTER PRACTICING CHAIN STITCHES AND  SINGLE CROCHET (sc). BEGINNERS CAN USE ANY DESIRED YARNS AND HOOKS... JUST  FOR PRACTICE SINGLE CROCHET (sc)... NEXT TO HEAD BAND, BEGINNERS CAN PRACTICE MOBILE POUCH..... REASON FOR THESE SIMPLE PROJECTS ARE, JUST TO GET PERFECTION IN SINGLE  CROCHET(sc) STITCHES. ACCORDING TO ME "PRACTICE MAKES A MAN PERFECT" ..... ALSO BEGINNERS GET SELF CONFIDENCE  TO MAKE MORE PROJECTS.... WHILE DOING THESE SIMPLE PROJECTS, BEGINNERS CAN LEARN HOW TO START NEW  ROW, WHERE TO TURN , ETC... AFTER PRACTICING SINGLE CROCHET(sc), BEGINNERS CAN START SAME PROJECTS IN  DOUBLE CROCHET(dc)... SO THAT BEGINNERS CAN FIND THE DIFFERENCES FOR BOTH STITCHES (HEIGHT OF  EACH ROW)...  AND HAVE...
