It’s ideal for quick creations like scarves, sweaters and blankets. At Morris and Sons, we provide a premium selection of high-quality wool yarns, designed to elevate any knitting project to the next level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCharacteristics of 14 ply yarn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thickness of 14 ply makes it the perfect choice for knitting warm winter garments. 14 ply yarn can be any fiber but natural fibers such as merino wool and alpaca are particularly soft and gentle to the skin. Due to its bulky size, you can complete projects with 14 ply yarn with impressive speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"readmore-text\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelecting the Right 14 ply Yarn\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s important to keep in mind that yarn weights are not an exact measurement. For example, some yarns may be classified as 12-ply by one manufacturer and 14-ply by another. The best way to ensure you choose the right yarn for your project is to knit a gauge swatch. A gauge swatch will help you check the look and feel of the fabric and determine which needle size to use. For more guidance on swatching, check out our blog post \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/morrisandsons.com.au\/blogs\/news\/to-swatch-or-not-to-swatch\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eor get in contact with our friendly team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother way is to check the length of the yarn for the weight. For example a 12-14ply yarn will typically have 90-120m per 100gms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e14 ply Yarn FAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size needles do I need for 14 ply chunky yarn?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen working with 14 ply chunky yarn, we recommend using a needle size between 6mm and 7mm.

For example, lace-weight yarns are perfect for making doilies and other delicate lace projects. Thicker ‘worsted’ yarns are ideal for warm clothing items, including sweaters, mittens, scarves, and hats. When choosing your yarn, you’ll also want to consider the characteristics of the fibre. The fibre content has a significant impact on the drape, stitch definition, structure, and heaviness of your final project. At Morris and Sons, we stock yarns in all the most popular fibres, including alpaca, cashmere, cotton, merino wool, silk, and more. Since all yarns handle differently, knitting a gauge swatch will help you determine if you’ve chosen the right yarn for your project. For example, if you’re knitting garments for winter, wool may be the right choice. If you’re planning to wear your garment in warmer weather, soft and breathable cotton may be the perfect match.

A simple rule of thumb when selecting your needle is that the finer your fabric, the finer your needle should be. If you’re working with a heavy fabric, you’ll want to choose a thicker, sturdy needle. Often, the yarn’s packaging will have a suggested size. Another important consideration is the material the needles are made from. Wood and bamboo needles are light and pleasant to work with. Metal knitting needles tend to be more slippery but they are also more sturdy and durable than needles made from wood or bamboo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eYarn FAQs\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003eWhat types of yarn are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe stock knitting and crochet yarn for all of your creative projects.
