Summer Yarn for Lightweight Knitting & Crochet

Summer Yarn for Lightweight Knitting & Crochet

Summer yarns are commonly chosen for lightweight garments and accessories. Depending on the quality, they may contain cotton, linen, viscose, bamboo, silk or blended fibers, each with its own drape, texture and care requirements.

Choose a Summer Yarn for Your Project

– cotton for tops, accessories and everyday projects
– linen for lightweight fabrics with a characteristic texture
– viscose or bamboo blends for fluid drape depending on the yarn
– silk and mixed fibers for selected lightweight designs
– compare yarn weight and gauge with your pattern before ordering

Check the individual product specifications for exact fiber composition, yardage, recommended needle or hook size and care instructions. A swatch helps you judge drape and stitch definition before starting a garment.
