August 27, 2024

Yarn substitution is a big subject, that could warrant a Phd!

But today I'd like to break it down for you, so there's a first step, if you're considering it for a knitting project.

With a few nuggets of knitty knowledge, you can find some easier solutions than you might at first think.

So join me in today's video, where I show you some alternative yarns to Rowan Felted Tweed DK, with knitted samples for extra insight.
