Knitting & Crochet: The Right Yarn for Every ProjectKnitting and crochet are among the most versatile and rewarding fibre arts. With the right yarn and tools, you can create garments, accessories, home textiles and decorative objects in an endless variety of textures and colours. DeSerres carries a selection of yarns in natural and synthetic fibres, in a range of weights suited to every project and technique, from fine lace to chunky knits. Complete kits are also available for those who want everything in one box to get started right away. Choosing the Right Yarn for Knitting or CrochetYarn weight is the most important factor when starting a new project. Fingering and lace weight yarns are used for delicate, lightweight work. DK and worsted weight are the most versatile, suited to garments, accessories and home goods. Bulky and super bulky yarns work up quickly and are ideal for blankets, scarves and statement pieces. Fibre content also matters: wool is warm and elastic, cotton is breathable and structured, acrylic is durable and easy to care for, and blends offer the best of multiple fibres. Always check your gauge before starting a project to ensure the right fit and drape.
