Which wool is best for crocheting?

There are many types of yarn used for crocheting. Wool is just one kind of yarn that you can use. It is used for really warmer clothing items and tends to be a little rougher on the skin and some people are allergic to it. The crochet pattern will tell you what kind of yarn you need to use, size of the hook etc.. Be careful to choose a pattern like a scarf if you are beginning to learn how to crochet as they tend to be easier. Don't choose a really bulky scarf because the yarn can become entangled in the hook, and can split up. Wool also is a yarn that shrinks when you wash it but there are a lot of patterns that require wool to make a felted finished product. Felting is crocheting or knitting a hat for example, and then washing it in a machine in hot water till it becomes felted. This is nice for beginners because when it shrinks up you cannot see the mistakes that you might make when you are just beginning. I have personally never felted anything. Whatever kind of yarn you are going to use you should buy enough yarn to finish the project. This is because the dye lots are not always the same color and if you run out of yarn your scarf could end up looking like 2 different colors. This happens if the dye lot isn't available that you started with? It is a good idea to keep the label that is around the yarn so that if you run out you can refer to the dye lot to see if they still have it in the store and also for instructions on how to care for the finished product. It is also important to buy enough yarn because it can sometimes be discontinued and you won't be able to finish your project if you run out of yarn. I have a website with a wide range of items that I crocheted that explain what kind of yarn I used to make them. I also list how to care for the items for example if they are machine wash and can be put in the dryer or need to be hand washed in cold water and dried flat.
