The Yarniacs Episode 152: Knits and Yarn Labels!

In this episode, we continue the conversation about yarn labels and how to use the information given on a label. Very few of us use the recommended yarn for a pattern with every project, so at some point, we all find ourselves looking for substitutions. Though often considered part of the fun of starting a new project, it can also be fraught with indecision when faced with an unknown fiber or unknown gauge. We hope to share a few tips for success, and hope you will share some of your tips with us as well. The discussion can be found in the episode thread for our Ravelry group here. Please join us!
