The choice of yarn can make or break a weaving project, making the weaving experience and the finished project either satisfying or disappointing. There are so many things to consider—fibers, yarn construction and weight, sett, colors, and more—and so many questions.

In this video, master weaver Tom Knisely answers all these questions and teaches you how to choose the perfect yarns for your projects.

In this 111-minute video workshop, you'll learn:

  • The basics of yarn construction: worsted and woolen, plies, twist, and more
  • How to choose yarn of the right fiber, weight, and type for your projects

  • The best yarns for warp and weft
  • How to choose the right sett and reed for your yarn
