Types of crochet threads

I have shared about six basic tools required for crocheting. Crochet threads are part of these tools. In this post sharing some types of crochet threads I use. This might help in selecting the crochet threads and also the availability of crochet threads.

Crochet threads- woolen

Let me start with woolen threads. Woolen threads are easily available in the market in plenty of colors and texture. Most of the projects like crochet sweater, shawls can be made using woolen threads.

The list is endless. Many more brands and types of crochet threads are available in market. Nowadays we can get it online too. But while buying online, it is better to go with the thread color number , rather than seeing the colors in the picture. The color of the actual product may vary. So choose the thread of your choice and start learning or making a crochet project!

Happy crocheting!

Love, Laugh and Live the life to the fullest,
