Yarn substitution doesn’t have to feel like guesswork 🧠🧶
One of the most common struggles I see — especially with newer knitting machine users — is substituting yarn when you don’t have the exact one a pattern calls for and it doesn’t work.
It’s not because you’re doing something wrong ❌It’s because most people were never taught what truly matters when choosing a substitute.
I just shared a new YouTube video where I talk through:
• why weight alone isn’t enough ⚖️
• why fiber content matters more than brand 🧵
• how yarn labels and gauge can guide you 👀
• and why testing with one ball can save money and frustration 💸
This is a big-picture conversation to help things finally click 💡
If you’ve ever had a project stretch, run out of yarn, or just not feel right, this one’s for you.
👉 Watch the video, then come back and tell us: What yarn substitution has given you the most trouble so far?
You’re not alone here — that’s what this community is for 💛
