There are so many variables that affect how your crochet clothing will come out and how long it will hold up in good shape, that it is crazy to talk about each detail, the post will become a huge thick book and you will get overwhelmed in the end. So, what I am trying to do here is to call your attention to the basics of life, maybe just a tiny little bit of physics, maybe something about the resistance of materials, but mostly to common sense 😉
I think craft projects are made to experiment, to pick something new, try it out, and decide how we like it, and what we enjoy better. As these posts are dedicated to crochet clothing, it is something you will wear, it is something that is supposed to be at least comfortable and execute some kind of “mission” -> to fit your body, and make you feel happy for as long as possible. So here are my years’ of observations, what is the best, what is to avoid. The post is as general as it can be and at the same time very specific, I want you to see the general ideas, and then you will know 100% how you want to experiment!

In this post, we delve into the importance of yarn twist, explaining how to choose the right twist for durability and ease of crochet.
Yarn Bleeding
When choosing yarn for your crochet projects, one often overlooked but critical factor is colorfastness – specifically, whether the yarn bleeds. Yarn bleeding can ruin your hard work by staining other parts of your garment, other clothes, or even your skin. In this post, we explain how to identify and handle yarn bleeding, with practical tips to prevent it from affecting your beautiful crochet creations.
