| I've had to stop crochetting due to allergies. I even switched to using string for awhile. The reaction still happens, just not as quickly or as severely.
Has anyone else had this problem, and how did you resolve it? |

| Have you tried a different kind of fiber? Different fibers have to be dyed with different chemistry If you've been using man-made fibers, try natural fibers. Try fibers dyed with plant dyes. |

| Maybe there is sizing in the yarn. Try washing it before using it. What kind of reaction are you having? Skin rashes, runny nose? Eileen |

| I have allergic asthma. My hands itch and swell, I become congested, and then, cannot breathe well. I did wash crochet string and wind it around a Christmas light holder to dry. I haven't tried crochetting with it, yet. |
