Choosing the Right Yarn for Knitting or Crochet
Yarn 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.
