Do you want to make the most of your knitting/crocheting time and yarn purchase?
Here is the class for you:


WHAT YARN SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Does your shawl not have the drape you hoped it would have? Did you by yarn you don't know what to do with it?
As a designer Christiane knows how important it is to choose the right yarn to get the best results.

In this class you will learn
- about 
   different fiber / yarn and their attributes
