What are one skein-crochet projects?
The idea behind one-skein crochet projects is really just using one skein to create something. Here is one important thing to remember: one skein of yarn is not always “one size fits all”.
There’s a big difference between a 50 g size 1 lace yarn, and a 200 g size 6 super bulky yarn. Both are technically one single skein of yarn, but the result you’ll have is completely different. That’s where yarn weight comes into play! Make sure you check the yarn weight before beginning a new project.
What can you make out of one skein of yarn?
You may be surprised to learn that there are all kinds of crochet projects that you can complete with just a single skein of yarn. There are garments like crochet hats, scarves, and shawls as well as accessories like bags and even home decor projects like crochet pillows.
