Crochet Bear
I'm just learning how to crochet, and I'm wondering what the best kind of yarn for beginners is. Mine frays...?
I'm trying to do one of those cute cupcake bear things. Maybe it's just too hard of a project for someone who's never crocheted before?
Welcome to the wonderful world of needlework! It sounds like you are using a boucle or other loopy, splitty yarn, which can be difficult for even experienced crocheters to work with. I would suggest a smooth, uniform yarn with enough twist to keep it together. This can be made out of any fiber and does not need to be expensive, though I would suggest using a yarn you like. It makes the whole experience more enjoyable.
