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.

Another important consideration is the material the needles are made from. Wood and bamboo needles are light and pleasant to work with.
