Yarn Fest 2023 - Colorado - C & C (Crepe & Cable) Yarns

  • Yarn Fest Embassy Suites Loveland, CO United States (map)

If you looking for new and interesting ways to stretch a braid of fiber, spinning a crepe or cable yarn is a good alternative to a marled yarn. Maybe you’re looking for a different way to combine braids with different colorways.

Crepe yarns are a plied yarn and a single plied together. A cable yarn is a plied yarn plied with another plied yarn. These novelty yarns can also be a way to expand your yarn options in fabric construction.
