When it comes to yarn and crochet hooks, not everything is created equal. Whether you're a crochet beginner or an expert, it can be difficult to choose the appropriate yarn weights for projects, especially if they are not listed in the materials section. So if you're sitting there wondering which yarn is best for your patterns design, or what type of fiber would best help you achieve the look you're aiming for, as well as what crochet hook sizes are best for which, we're here to help. We even have some extra tips to help you ace crochet. When we asked our readers what types of yarn they use, we got back a slew of answers: wool, angora, mohair, cotton, thread, acrylic, superwash wool, silk, worsted weight yarn, merino and more.

Of course, there are variations and combinations for both of these categories. Find out even more about yarn by continuing further down to find facts about weights for yarn, yarn types, natural vs synthetic, hook sizes, and so much more. This will quickly become your definitive guide to all things crochet, especially tips and information about crochet for beginners.
