Lesson7: Crochet fabric and yarn
There are at least 2 types of chrochet fabrics can be done: clothes and tableware. For making clothes
you can use any type of yarn, depending on the nature of the garment.
For making tableware, such as doilies, usually lacy weight cotton or flax is used.
Always remember that crochet fabric is not elastic. No matter what pattern or what type of fabric you are trying to make.
IBecause each single stitch in crochet stands as a single unit
and never as part of the entire fabric should carefully consider what type of yarn to use.
