Black yarn is very hard to see. Are you trying to use a lamp over your work while you are using the black?

Just must have strong lighting. Don't do black at night. I put a white towel on lap or wear light pants - probably just me thinking that helps. Ha! Wonder if those magnifying headbands or neckless thingys would help?

I can only crochet with black yarn in very good light- and never at night! At least you're not make a huge afghan with it!! And of course we want pictures when it's done!

I love black, but can only work on it in daylight. You might try a lightbulb that has daylight whatever it's called, color maybe, if you need to work at night. I think I've seen them at Lowes. Caro

Thanks Ladies! The only tip I have not tried is the light colored Pants!!
As soon as I finish I WILL try to post a picture

I use one of those cheap little table lamps you can get at Walmart or the dollar store. It has that adjustable "neck" on it so I can point it right at the black yarn.
