Part 4 - Project 8 Yarns Stage 1 Exploring the qualities of yarn

As I have enjoyed many crafts over the years I have collected a variety of yarns and threads.  This was more so during the time I completed a City and Guilds Embroidery course.  During this course my eyes were opened to the many many yarns and threads available and I store my collection in boxes by colour. They include different knitting yarns, embroidery threads (silk, cotton, linen), gimp, laces, fine threads and thick ones.  I have added to these things coloured wires and raffia and anything that can be substituted for threads. 

I get great pleasure from collecting yarns, threads and fabrics and take every opportunity to gather more to add to my collection when I am out and about.  I attend as many textile shows such as the Knitting and Stitching show as I can where there are many varieties of yarns and threads available.
