Question:

Modern yarn equivalent?

I've been looking at vintage knitting patterns for evening gowns, as I am determined to make one for my wedding dress, and the several that I like all call for the same yarn: quot;Minerva Boucle Yarn.quot; Has anyone come across this yarn before/tried a pattern, and knows of a modern equivalent?

Answer:

The pattern will give you the tension(gauge)Any yarn which gives the same tension can be used insteadYou will need a different quantity because different fibres give a different lengthAs they give the length of Minerva you can easily calculate how balls of the new yarn you need as modern yarns usually tell you on the ball band the length in the ballModern yarns are usually balled in grams so you will need to convert to ouncesThere are approx 28 grams per oz
Take a class in something your interested in or something you normally wouldn't the best way to not be bored is to get out of your comfort zone.
depends how old u areI ur a teen, get a bf or gfu will always have them to talk to when ur bored, or u can go places with themif ur an adult, try volunteering at activity centresYou can also help with ur local church, they always need help from peoplethe thing I suggest the least is a hobby, unless it's a sportit will later become an obsession.
Why don't you join a gym or night classes to meet new people.go to different pubs besides your local.be spontaneous and take a week off work to do whatever YOU want i.e bungee jump.sit in the sun.try eating hot chillis whatever.you only have one shot at life may aswell give it one hell of a go!! everyday things that might rid of boredom is doing yoga, get a puppy decorate a room all by yourself, learn a language in those tapes you can get where you have things to learn everyday!! good luck!!!
never say no- if you have any opportunity, take ittake a different way from place to place every day eat out every friday take public transportation and talk to the person beside you get a road bike and ride it everywhere less than 5 miles away get a couple dogs I suggest Newfoundlandsthey look like bearsyou can also just start laughingthe more you laugh, the more people think you are insane and the more people find you insane the funnier it is.
