Experiment and try crocheting with different materials

There is a variety of materials other than common yarn that we can use to crochet. Rayon wraphia ribbon is a great choice for making home accesories like baskets, cases or bags. It has great resistance and stands on its own once it’s weaved. It sure feels different than yarn but it won’t hurt your fingers at all, just choose the hook that feels comfortable and enjoy creating.
