Even if you don’t have a value finder or the Sew Red glasses reviewed earlier this week, you might have a very easy value finder with you.
If your cell phone has a camera, just snap a picture of the threads and change the filter to black and white. A recent post from Hunt Country Yarns, a needlework and knitting store in Virginia, shows you two trios of yarns in both black and white and color, showing how changing the value makes for a more dynamic selection.
And thanks to them for this great tip about the camera. I would never have thought of it, but then my phone doesn’t have a camera.
