What is a summer yarn?

Summer yarns are yarns made specifically for use in summer knitting and crochet projects. They are typically made from lightweight, breathable and cooling materials, making them particularly suitable for garments intended to be worn in warm weather.

Some of the most popular materials for summer yarns include cotton, bamboo, linen, silk, viscose and linen-cotton blends. These yarns often have a smooth surface that feels comfortable on the skin and does not scratch or irritate.

Summer yarns come in different weights and structures, from thin lace yarns to thicker DK yarns. Depending on which project you want to knit or crochet, you can choose the right yarn.

What summer yarns are there?

There are many different types of summer yarns that are suitable for different types of projects. Here are some of the most popular summer yarns:

  1. Cotton: Cotton is a classic summer yarn and works well for lightweight garments such as tops, t-shirts and dresses. It is breathable, skin-friendly and machine washable.

  2. Bamboo: Bamboo yarn is soft and shiny and has a cooling effect on the skin. It is also anti-allergic and works well for lightweight shawls and scarves.

  3. Linen: Linen yarn is durable and breathable, but can be a bit stiff. It works well for light tops and dresses.

  4. Silk: Silk yarn is light and shiny and has a cooling effect on the skin. However, it is also delicate and requires special care. Silk yarn is good for light shawls and scarves.

  5. Viscose: Viscose yarn is soft and shiny and has a similar texture to silk yarn but is easier to care for. It works well for light garments such as tops and dresses.

  6. Linen-Cotton Blends: Linen and cotton blends are durable and breathable, but also have the softness and feel of cotton. They work well for lightweight clothing like tops and dresses.

It is important to note that each yarn has its own characteristics and is suitable for different projects. It's also important to follow the yarn care instructions to ensure the finished project lasts a long time.
