For instance:<\/p>\r\n      <ul class=\"ol-nice\">\r\n        <li><p><strong>Lightweight yarns<\/strong> (fingering, sport) are perfect for lace or fine details.<\/p><\/li>\r\n        <li><p><strong>Medium-weight yarns<\/strong> (DK, worsted) suit general crafts, home d\u00e9cor, and weaving.<\/p><\/li>\r\n        <li><p><strong>Heavy yarns<\/strong> (bulky, super bulky) work best for statement pieces and structural projects.<\/p><\/li>\r\n      <\/ul>\r\n      <p>Texture matters too. A smooth yarn helps highlight patterns and stitches, while a slightly coarse yarn adds dimension and a hand-crafted feel. For most general craft projects, a <strong>medium-weight linen or cotton yarn<\/strong> offers the perfect combination of strength and flexibility.<\/p>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n    <!-- WHY LINEN & HEMP -->\r\n    <section id=\"why\" class=\"card section reveal\">\r\n      <h2>Why Crafters Prefer <span class=\"tone\">Linen<\/span> and <span class=\"tone\">Hemp<\/span> Yarns<\/h2>\r\n      <div class=\"grid-3\">\r\n        <div class=\"mini-card\"><p><strong>Durability:<\/strong> They resist stretching and fraying better than cotton.<\/p><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"mini-card\"><p><strong>Eco-benefits:<\/strong> Both are renewable and biodegradable.<\/p><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"mini-card\"><p><strong>Unique Finish:<\/strong> They add a rustic, authentic character to every project.<\/p><\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"mini-card\"><p><strong>Versatility:<\/strong> Suitable for weaving, knitting, wrapping, and macram\u00e9.<\/p><\/div>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <p>Crafters who want professional-quality results with a natural touch often consider these fibers the <strong>best yarns for crafts<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n    <!-- COMPARE TOGGLES -->\r\n    <section id=\"compare\" class=\"card section muted reveal\">\r\n      <h2>Compare <span class=\"tone\">Fibers<\/span><\/h2>\r\n      <div class=\"mini-card\">\r\n        <div style=\"display:flex;
