Yarn Substitution
You can always substitute, but you need to keep a few things in mind.
1. You get what you pay for. 2. Any time you change the yarn, you change the character of the item. The designer(s) chose that yarn for a reason - can you duplicate the project with different yarn? 3. You get what you pay for - are these truly scarves, designed to be worn around the neck and tucked under a coat, or are they stoles to be thrown over the shoulders? Cheap yucky yarn will be cheap yucky yarn around the neck, or may make up into a tacky stole for public viewing.

However, two of the patterns I like use rather ($6.00 and up a skein) expensive yarns. One is crocheted using Soft-Kid by GGH/Muench Yarns and the other uses Luxor by Skacel Collections. My question is, is it possible to substitute less expensive yarns for the ones recommended? If so, what would you recommend? Laura |
