Which Yarn to Use?


What you use depends on what you want to make. Most craft shops will be able to tell you which yarn will be most suitable for your project. The most commonly used will be the 100% cotton yarn for our weather. The thicker ones are good for making bags and pouches as they do not become as "furry" as the woolen yarn. For keeping warm, it's best to get 100% wool material. However, baby yarn and acrylic works just as well in an air-con environment.
As for knitting needles, the most commonly used sizes are the 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm and the 5mm. Which size to use depends on the thickness of the yarn.
Have a query to clarify or need someone to help with getting what you need? Feel free to send me a message.
