My yarn journey, like many people’s, started with my granny. She taught me how to crochet, and my siblings and I have many knit and crochet items from her that have been lovingly handmade and passed down. Fast forward to 30 years later, however, and those same much-loved crochet blankets and teddies are slightly discoloured or have un-repairable holes. Not ideal.
Everything ages, right? But some of this discolouration and other wear and tear could have been avoided
