Dear Spinning Circle,

Throughout the fall, it was brought to my attention that a burning question from the community is how to substitute handspun in knitting patterns written for commercial yarns. 

While not an easy question to answer, I have a few thoughts on the subject that I thought I would share with you here!

As a community, if you would like to flush out this discussion further and delve into more detail, please comment below with your initial thoughts and reflections. If there is sufficient interest, this will become a series of posts and discussions in the Spring.

I look forward to hearing from you what your biggest challenges are when substituting handspun yarn in knitting patterns. What seems to be your BIGGEST stumbling block?

Warmly,

Rachel
