About the video: Choosing Yarns, Colors, and Tools
Overview
“Yarns. Don’t we all love them! Visiting your favorite yarn shop after a long day of work just brightens up the day! It is so relaxing and inspiring to squeeze the fluffy soft rolls and plan your next project. My course yarns are from Lankava, a Finnish yarn house that has a long history of providing people with yarns and craft tools. We have been working together for ten years and I’m happy to soon have my own yarn collection made with Lankava. For the main work, the black and white backpack, I have used Liina yarn. Liina is made from one hundred percent cotton and fits any project that needs to be mighty strong, because the yarn is basically unbreakable. The soft rug is made of Frotee yarn, which is a famous weaving yarn from the early 1990s. Lankava has brought it back to production with new solid colors. The black and white shawl is made of Alpaca boucle, a soft and warm yarn nice to crochet with a big hook. The colorful pillow is made of wool with a three-color tapestry technique, same as the fluffy wall hanging.”
In this video lesson Molla Mills addresses the topic: Choosing Yarns, Colors, and Tools, which is part of the Domestika online course: Crochet Pattern Design: Find Your Signature Style. Create your own tapestry crochet patterns and turn them into unique works of art that reflect your personality.

“When you visit a yarn store, What kind of yarn do you normally buy? I always choose cotton. I know I should buy some other kind of yarn sometimes as well. But. Cotton is best for crochet. The yarn shops are mostly full of wool, alpaca, different types of knitting yarns and the crochet yarn section is always so small. You do have some crochet yarn brands that have amazing color palettes. So you have a lot to choose. But you can also challenge yourself and by wool and crochet with that. So I prefer cotton. I do have my own yarn line as well, as you can see here. It's a funny story how I start...”
