Gwen, not sure about free yarn as that is usually only done for non-profits. Discount yarn can be purchased anywhere online just check the major brand websites and click on clearance. If you sign up for the sales newsletter you can get coupons. For businesses you can get a EIN or tax id number for your business and purchase yarn at wholesale prices too.
In the past I’ve recycled yarn and picked up yarn from second hand shops or garage sales.

Deadlines are the key to meeting your goals – at least they are for me. If I have a deadline I hurry to meet it. If I just leave it in the air I slack off.

I taught a couple groups at church. It was a ladies group and man can it get a little crazy. It’s not like sitting and relaxing while crocheting rather it’s constantly working the room, answering questions, pointing out certain things etc. I loved doing it though.

Hi BekkaPoo & Sara,

Teaching IS a great addition to your crochet business, I agree, but you have to have the patience to be able to do it. Teaching One2One is less stressful than teaching a group class as you tend to find that people in group classes all work at different speeds so you have to do a lot of juggling and obviously have to make everyone feel as though they are getting value for the money they have paid!

Hi Iris & Sarah, Thanks for taking the time to comment. I think that it’s good to have a deadline to keep as this keeps you on your toes & Sara’s response is a very good informative one for you.
