How many yards of yarn does it take to crochet a twin size afghan using an H hook and single crochet stitches?
You would need to know what yarn you are using - sport, worsted, bulky - and what pattern. Different stitches will use different amounts of yarn. Single crochet is more dense than double crochet and would use more yarn to make the same size finished product. Afghan stitch is also dense with same result.
With worsted yarn I would estimate 2500-3000 yards. That is a really rough estimate, however, without more information. Your chosen pattern should specify the yarn to be used and how much. If you want to substitute yarn, you can compare other yarns with the same weight, number of ounces and yards.

How do you crochet with your finger?
To crochet using your fingers only, use the same procedure as when using a hook, but just use your fingers instead. You will end up using your forefinger as a "hook" holding the parts of the stitch on your finger, and "hooking" your finger to "draw through" the material to make the stitch. I would hazard that the "best" stitches to make using a finger crochet technique would be the shorter stitches--slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. I think that with taller stitches, you might begin to not have room on your forefinger to "hold" the loops necessary to make the stitches. Look at the attached video link and see finger crocheting single crochet stitches is being done.
What is the difference in crochet and interweave crochet?
Both techniques differ in the tool used. Knitting uses needles which hold "rows" of live stitches, whereas traditional crochet uses a single hook for the one live stitch. The resulting fabric is different in weight and overall appearance. Crochet fabric is thicker and stronger than knitted fabric, even using the same yarn and same size hook/needles. The difference comes from the fact that even the simplest crochet stitch is made of 2 loops, wrapped around one or two strands of yarn, and knitted stitches are a single loop in a single previous loop (single strand of yarn).
How can I create a textured fabric using the stacked single crochet stitch?

How can I create a textured design using the surface single crochet technique?
To create a textured design using the surface single crochet technique, you will work single crochet stitches on the surface of your fabric instead of into the stitches. This creates a raised, textured effect. Start by inserting your hook into the fabric, yarn over, pull up a loop, and complete a single crochet stitch. Repeat this process across the surface of your fabric to create the desired textured design.
How can I crochet a music note design?

How do you do tapestry crochet?
Tapestry crochet is a way of crocheting, generally done by using single crochet stitches. With Tapestry Crochet, the crocheter is also making a pattern using two or more colors of thread or yarn to create a colorful pattern or design. The finished tapestry crochet project often looks woven due to using just single crochet stitches. Tapestry crochet also is done without "turning" your work, you word with the front side always facing you. This is why it is often used to make cylindrical projects, such as baskets. It can also be used to make flat pieces, such as wall hangings, or rugs--again, you wouldn't really "turn" your work from one row to the next.
How do you crochet letters onto a single crochet afghan?
The only way I know to crochet letters onto an already completed afghan would be to use surface stitching. Another method, which is not crochet but which would give a very nice look, would be to cross-stitch them on. This can be done on single crochet or tunisian crochet (afghan stitch). Another way to get letters on an afghan would be to crochet strands of chains or single crochet strips and shape them into the letters needed, then attach them to the ghan. That would give a 3-D effect.
