What Are Yarn Crafts?
Knitting, macrame, weaving, crocheting and other creative projects that involve yarns are called yarn crafts. Yarns are interlocked strands made from natural and synthetic fibers. Some are made from synthetic polyester fiber, while others use cotton and bamboo fibers. In some instances, animal fibers like silk, angora and cashmere are also used in manufacturing yarns.
Yarn crafts are popular activities enjoyed by people of all ages, especially kids! It’s a entertaining way to nurture artistry and self-expression. They can even create personalized items that they can use everyday, from home decorations to clothing and accessories. Working on yarn projects is a brilliant way to spend quality time with the entire family.
