How To’s Day: How to Pick a Good Substitution Yarn |

A few weeks ago when I asked for How To’s Day ideas I got some great suggestions. Thank you to all of you who made suggestions!! Keep them coming!

Today’s subject was recommended by Karen. This is actually a question I get alot!

“I want to make this certain pattern, but I need to use a different yarn because __________! ” Fill in the blank ….

So what do you do when you want to switch out a yarn? How do you find a suitable substitute?

Allow me to let you in on one of my (until now) best kept secrets: YARNDEX.COM

Some other great resources I turn to are the following books:

The Knitter’s Handy Guide to Yarn Requirements by Ann Budd (I carry this one in my bag when I go to buy yarn)
