100% Polyester Yarn or Polyester Blend Yarn?
The choice depends on the feel and durability you are looking for. 100% polyester yarn stands out for its softness, lightness and volume, making it ideal for plush accessories and fluffy-looking projects. Polyester blend yarn combines this fibre with cotton, acrylic or others: it gains durability and helps reduce pilling, without compromising on comfort or easy care.
What to Make with Polyester Yarn
Polyester yarn for knitting is very versatile and stands up well to frequent use: it works well for blankets, cushions, transitional clothing, children’s garments and all kinds of accessories, thanks to its lightness and quick-drying properties. At Garmon Yarns, we select easy-care balls of polyester yarn for knitting and crochet. If your project is a doll or soft toy, you will find specific options in our yarns for amigurumi collection.
