About the Yarn

Note
This project is worked in typical broomstick lace method, without the lacets. If you prefer to work in Drop Stitch Crochet, as developed in this book, it will work just as well.
Check On AmazonYou can find a video for this technique on my YouTube channel here, in both right- and left-handed versions. The video below is in Drop Stitch Crochet which isn’t exactly the same as the original pattern. But, it may be useful to those making the project.
