Where to get yarn and hook for begineers. My mother bought me some yarn but its too thin for me to spot my mistakes!!! I went to the same shop but they dont have thicker yarns ;)

I want to make a book cover using mini granny squares , so I want colour combos that will look good , there will be 2 colours in one granny square. Pls comment your suggestions and help me out if possible

I don't know if anyone here has noticed this. But the Indian Crochet community is veryyy profit centric.

Like why is everyone trying to get their pieces sold off? Why is every other post i see on this sub is just about a crochet business or someone just wanting to fix their pricing, Instead of asking for tips and tricks, patterns and new designs. This collective capitalisation of a hobby is genuinely sad to see.

Have we all collectively forgotten that crochet, primarily, is supposed to be a hobby and not a full proof business model?

If you enter online crochet spaces outside India, you'll realise their discussions and posts are completely different than ours. They discuss patterns, new designs and genuinely try to help each other out.

Now, I'm not completely against crochet businesses. Tbh, If that's what you want to do, and you are genuinely passionate about it then you should defo go for it and i encourage you. But this sudden push of everyone opening a crochet business is genuinely a problem, and has already saturated the market for the people who genuinely wanted to make this hobby their work.

Basically the title.

A few of my college friends have these crochet businesses and honestly all of them seem to be like experts at these things.

But the prices are so darn expensive 😭. I simply cannot afford all of the cute things.

So I thought it would make a cute and genuinely interesting hobby and I would make a lot of stuff for myself.

So, as a humble beginner who knows absolutely nothing about crochet, I would request you guys to give me some amazing tips like genuinely amazing ones.

I really really really wanna learn how to crochet.

P.s. - I've never been much creative ( I do maladaptive daydreaming from time to time🥲), but yeah my creativity is usually for writing.

I try poetry and novels,etc but my creativity isn't in this stuff.

So please help a girlie out

Thank you!

Hi guys, I see a lot of crochet items like keychains, flowers, bouquet and other decorative pieces on the internet. It makes me wonder if all of these items are made with wool especially natural wool threads. I am not a crochet expert so idk if there are alternative options available in the market. But I feel that natural wool fiber should not be utilised in this way. I come from a small Himalayan town where the practice of making woollen clothes is ancient and these days the production is low because of less raw material. I feel that natural wool should only be used to make clothes and not decorative pieces that have no use other than looking cute for some time before it starts accumulating dust. They can be made with alternative materials of course. Although I appreciate crocheting such items as a wonderful hobby but we should also be mindful about the environmental impacts of it as well.

I wanted to try filet crochet and tapestry so I was wondering what yarn to use? I’ve heard 100% acrylic can be but fuzzy so what would you recommend.
Also for filet is there a thinner yarn or normal ones would work?
