Q: Crocheting RH Curly Q yarn

[Lynn E]

So, what do you folks think of this yarn? It definitely stretches!

Any suggestions? Too late to warn me off as I have 3 skeins in a drop-dead gorgeous teal color.

Thanks!

Hmm...I have not used this one yet. But, I am very curious to hear what others have to say about it!

That is the name, must look into it! Do you like it?

Omg,, how funny, LOLOL I am searching on RH Curly Q yarn. RH is for Red Heart. I thought you were saying right handed, LOLOL You got the Totally Teal, it is drop dead gorgeous!! What are you going to make with it?

I looked at Red Heart and found several patterns for it. I don't know how to asnwer your question. I haven't used it but it looks like a bulky yarn. I guess I'm saying more clues to what you want to know. This may be another question that is over my head.

Ha ha....nice colours and hope YOU like it....

Hmmmm, is Anaisa being a brat? Not telling me something like, "You'll regret it"? Hmmmm?

Yeah, my post wasn't up to my usual wordy standard, was it? LOL! I was (and still am) burned out from fighting with that &%$#! ribbon yarn...

Anyhoo, (I love making my spellchecker go nuts) this yarn is really, really stretchy and is super bulky. The only other super bulky yarn I have ever used is Lion Brand's Jiffy Thick n Quick, one of the first yarns I ever bought online. Not only was my color choice really bad but the yarn is so thick I could hardly get the size P hook to work making a single crochet. Yikes! It is now relegated to my Get Around To It Someday box.

So I guess I'm a little leery to start another project using thick yarn, let alone one that stretches. I'd like to use this yarn (CurlyQ) to make a sweater. Yes, a raglan sleeve sweater! But I'd like to know in advance if there is anything I should be aware of, like make it in a smaller or larger size or whatever.

How's that for a more detailed post? LOL!

never used the yarn but if it stretches..I would go smaller size.
