KNIT Meeting – Yarn Substitutions

Starting a new project and want to substitute yarn from your stash rather than buying more yarn or the pattern yarn is no longer available? Have you substituted a yarn and run out of yarn before the project was finished? 

April’s program will address grist – the weight/yard comparisons (density of yarn) – a consideration that is important to ensure you have enough substitute yarn for your project. Members are encouraged to contribute other considerations they have found to be important when making a yarn substitution.

Also, be sure to bring your recently completed projects for Show & Share!
