Use the best yarn you can get and
afford for a better finish, bigger choice of colours, easier to work with,
better dyes so better colours
What thickness your yarn? I like
double knit but the choice is yours - thinner grows more slowly but shows more
definition
Using scraps - throws are an
amazing way to use up scraps of wool. If I'm doing this I like to have one or
two main colours, this brings your designs together saving it from a messy
finish.
Using the same brands and mixing
thicknesses. I always mix brands in throws because I like the choice of colours
textures you can get. Sometimes I use sock wools for the lovely blends you get
in one ball, sometimes I use them as double thickness.
Do dye colours matter? I've only
once fallen foul of dye colours. Because throws are usually multi coloured different
dye lots don't usually matter.
