When shopping for yarn, choose the weight that your project calls for.
When it comes to yarn, there are many brands available. Discount stores like Wal-Mart carry quite a few brands, and craft stores usually stock even more. It is important to remember what type of yarn your project calls for when you are yarn shopping. Brand does not matter as much as weight. There are several weights available for purchase. If your project calls for a 4-ply weight, you would not want to purchase a 2-ply weight; and vice versa. If you purchase the wrong weight, your project may not turn out. There is nothing worse than spending a lot of time on a project and getting negative results. A successful project depends on the use of the proper materials.
