Yarn Substitution and Ravelry
Is the yarn recommended in the pattern discontinued, or too expensive, or not available where you shop? This lecture-style class will help you navigate the process of deciding how to knit a pattern with a different yarn.
We will access Ravelry and the internet to learn more about yarn weight, fiber content and construction to help you figure out what to use instead. Additionally, we’ll discuss gauge swatches, and possibly make a few in this two hour class.
Finished Project: Understanding how to choose yarn for a project when the suggested yarn isn’t available (or you don’t like it.)
Skills Needed: Ravelry account and computer, tablet or phone with access to Ravelry and the internet. You should know how to cast on, knit and purl.
Skills you will gain: How to choose a yarn other than the one recommended in the pattern. How to find the information specific to your pattern or yarn choice on various web sites and Ravelry.com. What constitutes a good choice vs an OK choice, and what to avoid.
Supplies: You’re welcome to bring a device to connect to the internet, and small quantities of various yarns, along with a set of dpns or a circular needle in size US4 and US6, and a small ruler or gauge tool.
*All supplies purchased on the day of the class will be 10% off.
