Tips for working with Homespun Yarn

If your hook snags the yarn try another hook.

If your starting chain gets twisted it won’t be noticed in the project.

If you can’t see each chain when you are working into the starting chain, try to feel each chain and skip the same amount of space between the stitches.

Hang in there on the starting chain.  Once you get past the first row it gets better.
