Yarn Bases

Yarn bases are the foundational materials used in creating various types of yarn. They come in different fibers such as wool, cotton, acrylic, and blends, each offering unique properties in terms of texture, warmth, and durability. Understanding the different yarn bases can help crafters choose the right one for their projects, whether it’s for knitting, crocheting, or weaving. Each base contributes to the final outcome, influencing the drape, feel, and overall look of the finished piece.
