One of my customers has started doing "yarn art". She, nor I, had ever heard of this before.
She buys a 20 x 30 piece of "pressed wood" - sketches a picture on the wood and then fills in her picture with strands of yarn, glued in place with Elmers. This first piece is fabulous! Out of her first "experiment" come two questions:
1) The pressed wood is heavy. Obviously, she needs something that won't warp with the use of so much glue. Do any of you have a better suggestion? I would worry that the glue would separate from anything nonporous like Coroplast.
2) The Elmer's glue, when dried, tends to 'flake' which of course shows badly on dark colors. Do any of you have a suggestion for a glue that is okay to use with yarn and wouldn't flake, once dried?
Thanks for your help!!!
