Summer crochet yarn and spring yarn: lightweight and fresh

Q: Which spring yarns and yarns for summer knitting and crochet are best?

The best are lightweight, breathable fibres: cotton, linen, bamboo, viscose and Tencel. They provide freshness, softness and good drape, and are comfortable for tops, openwork garments and accessories. They are easy to work with in both crochet and knitting.

Q: What can you make with summer yarns?

Tops, T-shirts, lightweight dresses, shawls and openwork garments, as well as accessories such as bags or hats and decorative pieces. Also baby clothes, thanks to soft fibres with certifications such as Oeko-Tex and EN71-3.

Q: For crochet, which is the best summer yarn?

For crochet, the best summer yarn is usually cotton, because it gives defined stitches, feels fresh and is easy to work with. If you want more drape and a softer, cooler touch, bamboo, viscose or Tencel blends are also a very good choice. Choose the fibre depending on the garment: cotton for tops, bags and defined stitches; bamboo or Tencel for fluid garments with more drape.

Q: Which summer yarns should you choose if you knit with two needles?

For knitting, a summer yarn in cotton, linen or viscose works very well: fresh, lightweight and with good stitch definition. Fine weights look beautiful in openwork garments, while medium weights give body to tops and lightweight cardigans.

At Garmon Yarns we bring together our selection of summer crochet yarn and spring yarn, with lightweight, breathable fibres that are soft and have good drape. We work with premium European and Turkish brands, many with GOTS and Oeko-Tex certification, so you can crochet or knit with yarns that are easy to work with. Tops, openwork garments, bags or baby clothes: here you can buy summer yarns that suit your project.

Which yarns should you choose for knitting and crocheting in summer?

For knitting and crocheting in summer, choose a lightweight, breathable summer yarn made from plant-based fibres such as cotton, bamboo, linen, viscose or Tencel. They are soft, easy to work with and comfortable for tops, openwork garments and accessories. Here we bring together the freshest summer yarns for crochet and knitting.

▷ Lightweight and breathable: fibres that let the skin breathe on hot days.
▷ Softness and drape: fluid, fresh garments that feel pleasant to the touch.
▷ Easy to knit or crochet and wash: yarns that work up well and withstand summer washing.

Yarns for summer crochet: fresh, lightweight and with good drape.

Crochet is the star technique of summer: with a fresh, lightweight summer yarn you can make tops, openwork garments and accessories. Cotton is easy to work with, feels fresh and gives defined stitches; bamboo adds silky drape and a cool feel. Both fibres hold their shape very well.

For freshness and defined stitches, cotton for your summer projects is the most versatile choice as a spring-summer yarn.

If you prefer more drape and a silky feel, bamboo blends for summer knitting and crochet are a very pleasant lightweight alternative.

Fresh plant-based fibres to use as summer crochet yarn

Plant-based fibres are the stars of spring and summer. Cotton, linen, bamboo, viscose and Tencel offer freshness, lightness and a variety of colours for knitting and crocheting fresh clothing, accessories and décor. At Garmon Yarns we select premium European and Turkish brands, many with GOTS, Oeko-Tex and EN71-3 certification.

Linen and its blends provide structure and unmistakable freshness for garments with body.

Viscose adds shine and fluid drape, perfect for floaty tops.

And Tencel, or lyocell —a sustainable fibre derived from wood— offers softness and breathability.
