  • 4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide
    4-H Crocheting Project Member Guide Crocheting is one of the oldest needlework arts. To crochet means to form yarn or thread into a fabric using a hook. Its name comes from the French word croche, meaning “hook.” The crochet hook was one of many tools first used to make delicate lace. As time went on, more stitches and designs came into being, and crocheting became a separate art. Crocheting appeals to many people because it can be used to make a variety of creations, such as scarves, caps, vests, sweaters, purses, belts, lace, doilies, tablecloths, afghans, pillow covers, and bedspreads. In the 4-H Crocheting Project, you can learn to: • Crochet articles for yourself and others • Select, use, and care for crocheting tools • Work and share with others in your club • Keep simple records of your project and activities The 4-H Crocheting project is divided into six phases. Skills to learn and suggested articles to make are on page 2. Your club leader will teach you how to do basic crochet stitches and help you find patterns to use as you learn. When you reach the advanced phases, you’ll need to choose patterns from a variety of pattern books, needlework books, and magazines. You can find these at newsstands, notions counters, fabric stores, or specialty shops that sell yarn and thread. If you want to show others what you learn in the Crocheting project, check with your leader about exhibiting articles at fairs or other community events. If you make an article to wear, you might like to model in your county 4-H fashion revue.

It was the fall of 2013. Some of you may not have even owned your business in the yarn industry yet, while others of you had been at it for well over 20 years. Some of you had not yet become parents; others were close to becoming empty nesters. A lot can change in five years, but of course, a lot can stay the same. Five years ago, Yarn Market News made a change. Because of dwindling advertising dollars, we announced that we would be publishing three issues a year instead of five. And this issue marks our first all-digital issue, born out of both a desire to go green and to help the magazine’s struggling bottom line.

  • All About Macramé History of Macramé
    August 2019 Newsletter All about Macramé For August we thought we would ring the changes and dedicate this edition of the newsletter to a fibre art that was popular in the 1970’s and 80’s for making wall hangings and potholders but which has recently made a resurgence in fibre art. Some customers have also found that the weaversbazaar cotton and linen warps are ideally suited to macramé. So we have all been having a go. Dianne Miles, one of the weaversbazaar tutors, has extensive experience in Macramé and has designed a one day course to show how the techniques can be incorporated into Tapestry for stunning effect – more details below. So we would like to show you some of the best work going on and introduce you to some of the cross overs with other textile art. History of Macramé The earliest recorded macramé knots appear in decorative carvings of the Babylonians and Assyrians. Macramé was introduced to Europe via Spain during its conquest by the Moors and the word is believed to derive from a 13th century Arabic weavers term meaning fringe as the knots were used to turn excess yarn into decorative edges to finish hand woven fabrics. Probably introduced to England by Queen Mary in the late 17th century it was also practiced by sailors who made decorative objects (such as hammocks, belts etc.) whilst at sea thereby disseminating it even further afield when they sold their work in port. It was also known as McNamara’s Lace. The Victorians loved macramé for “rich trimming” for clothing and household items with a favourite book being “Sylvia’s Book of Macramé Lace” which is still available today.
