COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is Wool Good for Summer?

Yes! Just like wool keeps you warm in the winter, it also keeps you cool in the summer by wicking moisture away from your body and keeping that hot sun off your skin. Lightweight wool yarns are a great choice for summertime knits, keeping you comfortable from warm days to chilly nights.

What is the Best Yarn for Summer Knitting?

As the summer heats up, lightweight yarns are an excellent choice for your vacation knits. Thinner yarns like fingering and DK weight are easier to handle in hot hands. Breathable natural fibers like wool and cotton help you stay cool and dry as you stitch away.

What Are Smart Summer Projects?

Accessories are ideal for summertime because the projects are smaller, more portable and less likely to heavily drape in your lap while you knit. Lace knitting is a fun option if you have more focus, as the open, drapey fabric allows for plenty of breathability and air movement through your knitting.
