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.

Rowan Tweed Haze is a luxurious blend of mohair, alpaca, and cotton with a touch of polyamide, creating a lofty yarn full of texture and depth. Its airy halo is enhanced with tweedy flecks of colour, giving a modern twist to a traditional tweed look. A 12 ply/aran weight, it knits up quickly into warm yet lightweight fabrics with a soft, contemporary finish. This yarn is ideal for statement sweaters, cardigans, accessories, and layering pieces. Its soft halo and tweedy colour effects bring character to simple stitch patterns and make it perfect for bold yet wearable knitwear.
