Yarn 101: Understanding Yarn & Fiber Types

Curious why some yarns are perfect for sweaters while others flop in a scarf? Want to know how to confidently pick the right yarn for your project every time? Fiber 101 is a hands-on, discussion-based class designed to help you understand the building blocks of the fiber arts—before you even start stitching.

Note: This is an educational class focused on learning, not making. You will not walk away with a finished project—but you will leave with knowledge that will level up your craft forever.

What you’ll learn:

• The differences between fiber types (cotton, acrylic, wool, bamboo, and more!)

• Yarn weights explained: from lace to jumbo, what they are and how they behave

• Fiber properties: warmth, breathability, elasticity, and durability

• How to care for different fibers—what to wash, dry, block, or avoid!

• How to match yarn to project type for best results (e.g., blankets vs. garments vs. amigurumi)

What’s included in the class:

• A curated selection of yarn samples to touch, stretch, and compare (included in the class price)

• Crochet hooks for hands-on exploration

• A printed reference guide to take home

• A guided conversation with time for Q&A

Whether you’re brand new to yarn or just tired of guessing what fiber will work best, this class is for you. Gain confidence, shop smarter, and make projects that turn out just right!
