    I love yarn, but I do not knit that well!

    I am new to crocheting, I chose Lion Brand Thick and Quick to make a afghan but the problem was the ends fray so much that it is hard to weave them in. Can you give me some tips on our to stop the fraying.

      Hi Heather! When I use yarn that frays easily I leave an extra long beginning and ending tail and I trim it right as I’m about to tie them in so it’s freshly cut. That seems to help.

        I leave ends long and I tap a dot of clear nail polish or (use a lighter if it’s acrylic) on the end if I’m not weaving in ends as I go. I’ll snip off the sealed/fused end, thread it then weave it it.

        It’s always interesting to hear how someone else does it!

    Hi! I found a yarn that might be more expensive than Vicuna. http://www.liann.ee/mod_shop_4abece55286a5b88ab94dc570e9663c5_Superior-027-grey_eng
    It’s only sold in an Estonian yarn shop Liann Lõngad which has 3 stores and an online store. However, this yarn is currently not available.
    Best wishes.

    I am an expert knitter and love using fine, luxurious yarns. I have purchased the Quiviut and loved it. Although the cost is so high I am seriously considering working with these other fine yarns for my own designs pieces. I have successfully sold pieces made with fine, but much less expensive yarns. It’s time to venture into these top yarns. I’ll have to save money to do this and start out with small pieces.

      That would be a great niche market for fine crochet work! I would love to see some of your pieces when you get that far.
