Selecting & Substituting Yarn

  • Common Thread Saratoga 512 Broadway Saratoga Springs, NY, 12866 United States (map)

Taught by: Carol Puntel

Do you want to make the garment you saw on Ravelry? Unfortunately, the yarn recommended is discontinued, not available, too expensive, or wrong for the season. How can you pick a good substitute? It isn’t just about gauge! In this class you will learn about the characteristics of various yarns. You will see how drape, stitch definition, wearability, and care are all impacted by the fiber or fiber blend you want to use.

Cost: $30

We do not require that you purchase the yarn for this class from our shop. However, to keep the cost of classes low, we would appreciate it if you would.
