Learn to substitute yarn with confidence! Proper yarn selection can make or break your knitting project. If done properly, you will have a finished object that will fit you like a glove (or a hat, or a sweater).Patty Lyons has spent years teaching thousands of students to think about their yarn and needles as their ingredients and how to choose them with the care of a top chef. Patty teaches nationally at shows like STITCHES, Vogue Knitting Live, the Knit and Crochet Show, as well as at guilds and shops around the country. In this live web seminar, she’ll share her secrets to choosing the perfect yarn and making sure you never run out once you do!Join us and discover just how much a knitted swatch can teach you as you explore the difference between yardage and weight, and pattern gauge versus yarn gauge.
