Info :
Important: When starting to crochet use individual yarn balls each time you start a color in the row, for more comfort and not having crossed threads behind the figure. Remember when making color changes, always leave the threads on the same side of the piece to use them on the next round.
— Important :
Infos :
I do not use the tapestry technique, although if you find it easier you can apply it. I use a yarn ball for each color that starts in the row, so on the next round, when turning the work, the thread is waiting to be use again. Example: To start the wall hanging I would use an acqua yarn ball, then an orange one and a white one, then a new orange one and an acqua one. As much as the color is repeated, it has its own ball of yarn.
