Last month I was tweeting about yarn substitution, because I'd got really excited about a pattern, only to realise that the recommended yarn was well out of my price range. I came across the website www.yarnsub.com, and even though I have to admit that in this particular instance the search engine wasn't able to help me, I think the website is a great idea. Today I came across this interview (above) with the creator of Yarnsub, and I thought it was a read worth sharing. The interview is on the blog of pattern designer Joanne Scrace, who coincidentally was the designer of the pattern that I needed a substitute yarn for! Her website is great and well worth a browse beyond this interview.
