My Choice of Practice Yarn…

Why it’s my choice of practice yarn?

Initiallly I don’t know what this yarn is called. I just remember using it way back elementary during Home Economics Class.

When I came across it once again in NBS, I still don’t know what it’s called but the tag says Yarn & Knitting Acrylic Yarn. So maybe that’s really what it is called.

It’s my personal choice of practice yarn specifically because I think it is the best yarn to use for practicing.  Other than being COST EFFECTIVE… It helps me reserve my more expensive yarns for real finished objects.

Although it’s a little tough looping the yarn over your v-hole (or probably it’s also because the initial one that I got is not the nice type of it – Familia), it is still way better for it allows you to see your stitches more clearly (bigger). Enables you to easily tell if you’re doing the right thing.

I remember this was what we used way back elementary when crochet was first introduced to me. I’ve really been looking for this since I noticed that most of the tutorial videos I am watching to help me learn the basic of crochet uses the same type of  yarn — it’s just that I had no idea where I can actually get one at first…

I guess what makes it more tougher for me finding it at first is the fact that I don’t know what this yarn is called nor the type of yarn it is.

Good thing I thought of passing by the nearest NSB outlet to try my luck. There I found it…! One down thing about getting it from NBS is that it’s a little more pricey than getting it from a local yarn store and you really have no choice when it comes to the brand.  

So I guess I would need to keep looking…

Nevertheless,  it is still an addition to my crochet family
