Finding True Sock Yarn Happiness
Have you ever labored over a pair of socks, only to have them stretch out of shape with the first wash or fall apart after just a few wearings? Sounds like a yarn problem - and you’re not alone. In this class, we’ll look at how yarn is made, what happens with each twist and each ply and each fiber blend, keeping our attention on what works best for socks—and what we may be wise to avoid.
This class is taught by: Clara Parkes.
