Crochet

Another much-loved handcraft technique is crochet. Crochet uses simple and more complex loops of yarn to create a whole range of differently textured fabric. And all you need is a crochet hook and some yarn! It doesn’t get much simpler than that. All kinds of yarn can be used for crocheting. A fine cotton yarn makes beautifully intricate and delicate work. Or use rope to crochet a rug or doormat. Choose whichever crochet hook size suits your selected yarn or cord.

A home accessory, an item of clothing, something practical for the household (a potholder or a set of coasters, for example): with crochet, everything is possible. Could your mom’s sofa do with a splash of color? Then crochet a funky Must-Have cushion; a real eye-catcher! Another fun and practical addition to your mother’s interior is a Yarn and Colors Basic Basket. Perfect for storing household odds and ends, holding balls of wool, or pimping up a plant pot!
