How do I do Tapestry Crochet? Tips and tricks welcome!

Hello great people of Ribblr!

I have been wanting to try tapestry crochet, but I don’t know where to start :[

So I have a few questions: how do you all display your tapestries? What yarn do you use? And what’s a good size for a tapestry? How do you make the color changes look sharp?

I want to make one that I could hang on my wall, and be smaller, but I feel the smaller they get the more unrecognizable the thing your trying to make is!

But yeah, please tell me any help or tips or anything that you know of these sorts! :]

I use a Small hook maybe 2.5mm and acrylic yarn, VERY tight tension :face_exhaling:
And I don’t really display mine lol :sob:
Also carry the yarn!!! It makes life easier BUT if your tension isn’t tight enough you can see the other colors :saluting_face:
