We have a craft shop and in our shop we carry a lot of different yarns. We really love different fibers and different types of yarn.

So, today in Yarn 101, we're gonna teach you everything we know about yarn. We're gonna teach you how it's made, what to look for when picking out yarn for a project, what the different gauges are, what the different fibers are, the difference between plant fibers and protein fibers. - We'll cover a little bit of everything about yarn. (inspiring music) Chapter 2 - Natural Fibers Yarn overview - We're gonna talk about how yarn is made. This is a piece of fiber and yarn is made from lots of different fibers and it's the same whether it's a plant fiber or a protein fiber like wool.

This is how yarn is made. - This is called a single.
