This can be more complicated than it sounds. Here's how it works.
KNITTING
To knit, you need two needles. (Please get two separate needles - the needles that are connected with a plastic wire seem like a good idea but they are very difficult to use for beginners.) The size of the needle is based on the thickness of the yarn. The thinner the yarn, the smaller the suggested needle. All skeins suggest a needle size on the label. (see below) |
CROCHET
To crochet, you only use one hook. The size of the hook is based on the thickness of the yarn. The thinner the yarn, the smaller the suggested hook. All skeins suggest a hook size on the label. (see below) |
Walmart, Michaels, Joanne's, Hobby Lobby and Ben Franklin Craft Stores carry Fiber Arts supplies. Locally, Friends and Fiber on Main Street in Downtown LaGrange offers Fiber arts supplies although they tend to cater to the more advanced artist - thus supplies cost a little more. Needles + yarn will generally cost about $7-$10. If you can not purchase these supplies due to monetary constraints,PLEASE talk to Ms. N ASAP and she will make sure you have what you need.
FIBER ARTS SUPPLIES DUE MONDAY, OCTOBER 31!! |
