Please be sure to subscribe to Naztazia's channel! This video shows the basics of yarn, including fiber content, textures, sizes, standards, weights and substituting yarn in knitting and crocheting patterns. Yarn label guides such as weight classification and gauge are covered. Also discussed are tools to measure WPI or Wraps per Inch for mystery yarns. I purchased my WPI Tool and Knit Card from Knit Picks at http://www.knitpicks.com

  • I bought a small loom to start making some scarves for christmas gifts, do you think I could use boucle yarn? Has anyone tried and what was your experience,

  • @stuwoo68 Hi! Boucle yarn works wonderful for scarves. You can definitely use boucle yarn in a loom. In many ways, it's easier to use boucle yarn in a loom. With both traditional knitting & crocheting, sometimes boucle yarn can be challenging because it has an uneven texture and you don't get the whole yarn on the hook/needle properly (it can split). With loom knitting, the pegs will make it easier to see the entire yarn when you lift the first yarn over the next yarn - thus avoiding splits.
