    Hello, My name is Nancy and new here love the beautiful patterns. Can’t wait to start crocheting. Ido have a question as to different types or brands of yarns that you suggest that are similar to the yarns you use. I am not familiar to the brands you suggest. This would be great for some of us. I do like your site Thanks
