FAQs About Yarn

The type of yarn depends on your project. Use lighter yarns (like DK) for clothing and accessories, thicker yarns (like chunky) for blankets and scarves. Always check your pattern for guidance.

Yarn weight is determined by thickness. For example, lace weight is thin, while chunky or super chunky yarns are thick. Patterns will often suggest the right weight for your project.

Yes, you can substitute yarn, but ensure the new yarn’s weight and fibre content match the pattern’s requirements for proper fit, texture, and drape.

Yarn care depends on its fibre content. Wool requires gentle washing, while acrylic is machine washable. Always check the yarn label for care instructions.

Yarn comes in natural fibres like wool, cotton, and silk, or synthetic fibres like acrylic and nylon. Natural fibres are breathable, while synthetics tend to be more durable.

Store yarn in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to avoid fading. Keep it in sealed bags or bins to prevent dust, dirt, and pests. Ensure yarn is not exposed to moisture.
