Summer knitwear

(8 products)

Summer is no excuse not to knit or crochet.

At first glance, it may seem challenging to combine hot days with yarn, knitting, and crochet projects. However, is there anything better than sitting under the parasol with a cool drink, feet up, and favorite yarn in hand? I don't think so. Seeing the result when your yarn creations come to life is a joy regardless of the season.

The perfect yarn fibers for summer

If you're planning to knit summer clothing, choose your yarn carefully. Thick wool yarn is cozy but less suitable for summer knits. Instead, there are numerous fibers that are delightful to wear in summer heat and can even help regulate body temperature, preventing you from getting too hot.

Cotton yarn, such as Cotton 8/4, is the most classic summer yarn because cotton is fantastic on warm days. Cotton doesn't trap heat and offers excellent breathability, allowing moisture to evaporate freely from the body. As an alternative to cotton, there are several other fibers that are specifically suitable for spring - for example, viscose and lyocell.

At the same time, you shouldn't rule out wool completely when knitting for summer. Wool also has excellent breathability, and thin wool yarn can be comfortably used on mild days.

So, there's really no excuse; it's time to get started.
Enjoy - and have a great summer!
