Craft Yarn Council
Приєднався 24 січ 2014
The Craft Yarn Council has aggregated anecdotal and clinical data related to the health benefits of knitting and crochet for the past 10 years, and it now wants to share this information with a broader audience. The data collected shows how these crafts can improve one's mood, mind and body. For the very young, knitting and crochet help improve fine motor skills; for millions of working adults, they help to calm them down and relieve stress; and for seniors, these skills have been found to keep the mind alert and lessen the onset of dementia. The therapeutic benefits are many, from lessening the effects of burnout, chronic pain, long hospital stays and grief. Because of the broad distribution of yarn and related accessories, these crafts are assessable to people in every economic level, are relatively easy to learn and portable.

thank u!!!!
Some knitters in hot summer in Spain knitted huge “blankets” and strung them across hot city streets, cooling the place tourists shop.
Learned to latch hook again! Keep going girl x england 🇬🇧
This is SOOOOOO GREAT!!! I have been crocheting for fifty years. This is so healthy for these girls and teachers. So many life skills are learned. Tenacity, persistence, creativity, self confidence and GROWTH TO MEET CHALLENGES! Learn to be the Victor instead of Victim! Y’all continue to have fun and build those social skills and build lifelong Friends! ❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻❤️👏🏻
Is this course available for people in United States only?
US and Canada
Hello from CAPE COD MASSACHUSETTS
I have the zippy loom whatch video to learn
The knitting round wheel look for it
My goal is to design amigurumi and teach others. I want to be an amigurumi author. I want to inspire others!
Amazing foundation and yarn journey!
Love this!
Inspiring as I embark on studies in anthropology and combining it with my love for knitting.
Very cool to find this! Thanks!
Nice to see you working at your normal speed after seeing the slow instruction. Brilliant, thank you.
this is so cool
Good stuff. He is a placid guy with a beautiful family. I think his story and his manner speaks of what this activity is. Warm, inviting, engrossing and whimsical. Purity. Thank you
My grandfather, who was from Scotland, knit his own socks because his feet were so large he couldn't get store bought socks that fit, and with the fact that my grandmother had 8 kids by the time she was 24, there was no one to knit his socks for him. My grandmother did knitting and sewing (on a treadle) for most of the family. They taught me to knit at 5. A real blessing, to be sure.
Beautiful
Sei GRANDE...anche ad occhi chiusi lavori con la massima naturalezza...COMPLIMENTI per i tuoi lavori...che sono uno spettacolo...Successo e Salute da una albanese...che vivo e lavoro in Italia dal 1991...che lavora all’uncineto da quando avevo 7 anni e oggi ne ho 56...Di nuovo cari saluti 👏👏🌹😍🙏❤️

Inspiring story
Your blankets are so needed and are so beautiful and warm.
Yes I am still watching and enjoying your videos. 🥰
Wow wowמאוד יפה, אהבתי.
I have a question for you can you show us how to and the canvas crochet on the canvas
Hi! Are you putting two strands at a time to increase the density/thickness? If I wanted to use one strand at a time in the same size mesh, what thickness of yarn do you recommend? What about acrylic vs cotton? Why use one over the other? Thanks for your input!
Where did you get that AMAZING couch???
I love donating to warm up America foundation and right now I am working on a mosaic blanket and how long have you been crocheting for
Hi right now I am working on a mosaic blanket and I love warm up America and how long have you been crocheting for
Thanks you for sharing this video and right now I am working on a mosaic blanket and I love warm up America 🇺🇸 and if you could crochet one thing for the rest of your life what would it be and what type of yarn would you used for your project 😀
I'd say sections using a wool blend yarn!
Been working on learning mosaic crochet for over a year now! Love the look of it! Have ADHD along with having had a stroke so what used to take me a little effort to learn now takes forever! But my brain (think autism) makes me try and try and try yet not quite get it… but keep on trying!!! Same with learning mosaic knitting from Barbara Walker!
Oh and wool, always!!! :)
such beautiful work.
Hi, have you ever tried regular crochet using the latch hook instead of the crochet needle? Thank you!
Yarn is therapy! I love it!
Hannah Busekrus is the most talented artist I've ever met in my entire life on any medium. She is a living legend. Yes, she's my ex sister in law, but it doesn't make it any less true, lol.
The kit that I am doing is pre-cut color code they gave me some short yarn and I'm having a hard time grasping it so I think I prefer doing the long yarn so let me know am done text I no u tried of me
Do you think that your yarn u using could help me with with the latchhook let me know what is the name of it
Hello I am doing latch hook kits I don't think you know nothing about that but I wanted to know what kind of yarn do I need for My latchhook okay let me know
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I loved this video, I watched it while I worked on my own latch hook project and it was like latch hooking with a latch hook buddy. Make more!
Just bought a decorative throw at marshalls and iam in love with it i want to buy more
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for making it and giving the rest of us a glimpse into why other people yarn.
the glimpse!
That's so awesome. Many years ago, Evie helped me design and complete my crocheted wedding dress (So 70's)! I'm so happy her legacy lives on in this way!
Hello, this is so wonderful! Question, do you only receive 7x9 inch squares? Is one able to create a granny square one piece blanket?
Thank you! To answer your question, we do not only take the section. We will take any knitted or crocheted item that can keep someone warm, like blankets, hats, scarves, gloves/mittens, baby items, and more. Please visit our website to learn what items we need most right now: warmupamerica.org/make/current-needs/.
This is so beautiful. I have crocheted 7x9 inch squares for Warm Up America.
