How to choose the right yarn for knitting/crocheting in summer?

Knitting and crochet are not just cruft not fall and winter. You have only to choose the right yarns and projects. There will be some tips on choosing the perfect yarn for your crafts in warm season.

1. Choose animal fibers for winter, plant fibers for summer.

Yarns and blends with cotton or bamboo are best for summer projects. In Latvia there is one special option - linen. In most cases linen has more advantages on cotton. Besides - linen is fiber from our latitudes therefore most suited for our needs.

2. Pick a color you love. 

The first thing we tend to see when we look at a new yarn is the color, so choose colors that inspire you. 

3. A fiber you love to touch is often a yarn you’ll love to work with and wear.

When it’s hot out we tend to wear fewer layers, so shawls and cover-ups will probably touch your skin. Many crafters hold a skein of yarn to their cheek or throat to see if it will feel comfortable.
