How to Crochet for Absolute Beginners - Lesson 2: How to Read a Yarn Label

This is Lesson 2 in my brand new comprehensive series to teach absolute beginners how to crochet! These videos will be recorded as if I were teaching you how to crochet in person and will be 12 lessons in total.
This second video of my series is all about how to read a yarn label, which can be very confusing to someone who is justing starting out. There is a TON of important information found on the sleeve of a skein of yarn, and this video shows you how to interpret them.
Because the universal care symbols and yarn weights can be difficult to remember, I have created a free printable pdf for you to print off and put in your pattern binder or to take with you to the store. You can find this printable here (dropbox): www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zjifxl...
If you are interested in the yarn I am going to be using for my tutorials in this series, I am using this Yarn for Beginners that I found on Amazon. Not only do you get 4 balls of yarn, they also send you stitch markers and several yarn needles. I think it's a perfect yarn for when you are just starting out. You can check it out here (affiliate): amzn.to/3QqYEzi
For a complete set of average-sized hooks, I recommend this set (affiliate): amzn.to/3qr0chU
If you would like a complete aluminum hook set with handles, you can find one here (affiliate): amzn.to/3OIAEpS
The bigger hook I will be using in the rest of the videos in this series is a size 8.0 mm hook I purchased from Hobby Lobby, but you can also find it here (affiliate): amzn.to/459DFF2
If the 8.0 mm hook is sold out, here is another that I like (affiliate): amzn.to/45BBVEX
This series can be watched it it's entirety here (This will be updated as new videos become available):
