Determine what size yarn and hook you will need for your wind chimes
Patterns will often tell you the brand, weight, and color of yarn used in addition to the size crochet hook or knitting needle.
If you want to use a different brand than what is listed on your pattern, try sticking with materials that are similar (same type of fiber) so it turns out looking like how it was intended.
Make sure when using an alternate material for tension purposes that this matches too; if not then there may be some variation between your swatch and final project – adjust accordingly!
Pick a color scheme that matches your home's exterior design
