Acrylic yarn is lightweight, affordable, and easy to care for, making it ideal for beginners and everyday projects. Cotton yarn is natural, soft, and breathable, perfect for summer wear, dishcloths, and baby items. Wool yarn is warm, elastic, and durable, often used for winter sweaters and scarves. Polyester yarn is strong, long-lasting, and colorfast, great for blankets and home décor projects. You can explore our full range of premium yarns to see these materials in action

For beginners, medium-weight acrylic yarn is the best choice. It is smooth, easy to handle, and works well with common hook and needle sizes. Acrylic yarn is also forgiving of mistakes, inexpensive, and available in a wide range of colors.

For blankets, chunky or bulky yarn gives a soft, cozy feel and works up quickly. For sweaters, medium-weight yarn (like worsted or DK) provides warmth without being too heavy. For scarves and shawls, lightweight or medium yarn is ideal, depending on whether you want a delicate or thicker finish.

The amount of yarn depends on the project size and yarn thickness. On average:

• Scarf: 300–400 grams (2–3 skeins of medium yarn)
  
  
• Sweater: 800–1200 grams (6–8 skeins)
  
  
• Blanket: 1500–2500 grams (10–15 skeins, depending on size and yarn weight)
