Is There A Difference Between Knitting Yarn And Crochet Yarn?
Both knitting and crochet can use the same fibers for their projects, with one exception. Thread tends to be too small for knitting, while a very narrow crochet hook can more easily handle the details of those tiny materials. For both handcrafts, it is simply called yarn!
