moreover, it's a fact that if we see a person yarning..then we shall yarn too..!!
Yarn is manufactured in a number of ways, depending in large part on what fiber is used. Traditional wool yarn is harvested from sheep, skirted, picked, washed, carded and spun. Most animal fibers are prepared similarly with the exception of angora and silk. Angora, from the angora rabbit, is gently plucked from the rabbit and is ready for spinning without further preparation though it may be blended with another fiber such as wool before spinning. Silk must be unreeled from the cocoons of silk moths and then spun.
Vegetable fibers such as cotton, are processed somewhat similar to wool in that debris must be picked out by a cotton gin. However, vegetable fibers such as flax (which is used to produce fine linen) is reeled (beaten) to break down the fibers. Other vegetable fibers, such as bamboo, corn, and soy are extruded and then spun.
Artificial fibers, like acrylic are typically extruded and then spun.
Yarn comes from a great many sources and arrives in a great many manners depending on the specific fiber and specific yarn being considered.

How to understand crochet patterns?
look at the pattern...... it usually says how much..... i.e.: 5 skeins of yarn As noted above, the pattern generally states how much yarn to use for that pattern. If you are trying to design your own pattern, however, then the process is more complicated. There is no general rule for how much yarn in a pattern, even as to type of pattern, because each is so different. Different scarf patterns, for example, would take different amounts of yarn. Generally speaking, I can probably make a scarf if I have 7 to 10 ounces of yarn. If I am making a hat for a child, I can do it with one 3.5 ounce skein with yarn leftover. For an adult, it depends on the pattern. Sometimes one skein would be enough, sometimes two would be needed. Afghans require more yarn, but amount varies with yarn, hook, and the size of the afghan as well as the pattern. One can take a baby afghan pattern and use chunky yarn to give a larger afghan, but amount of yarn required will be different. If you have a pattern and it gives you the yarn amount in skeins but not ounces, and you want to use a different yarn, then you need to find out how many ounces in that type of yarn, then buy the required ounces in a yarn in the same weight category.

Define the crochet term working around For example Working around next 4 ch-5 spaces and next slip st?
Its not possible to work around a crochet space because a space has nothing in it. However it is possible to work around a crochet stitch such as the post of the actual crochet stitch. You can work a crochet slip stitch over the top of crochet chains and stitches to get to another place in your crochet piece. You can also work crochet stitches around the post of a stitch. The term working around the space does not make any sense and is not good language for describing written instructions.

The following is the American meaning of double crochet. The British system would call this stitch a treble. A British d.c. is an American single crochet.

Put the working yarn over the hook (this is called a "yarn over"). 2. Insert the hook in the next stitch in the row below. 3. Yarn over again and pull that yarn over back out through the stitch. There are now three loops on the hook. 4. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the first two looks on the hook. Two loops remain on the hook. 5. Yarn over again, and pull that yarn over through the remaining two loops. When you finish a row and turn, start a row of double crochet by first chaining three stitches. This chain-3 counts as the first stitch of the row. For a single crochet, chain only one to start a new row.
