Technique, Type of project or Speciality of the yarn

Q: Why is it useful to choose yarns according to the technique or type of project?

✔️ Choosing yarns according to the technique or type of project ensures that the material perfectly suits what you are going to create. Each technique, such as crochet, knitting, punch needle, amigurumi or embroidery, requires specific properties in the yarn: more twist, greater softness, strength, elasticity or firmness. In addition, selecting the right yarn for the technique improves the quality of the finish, makes the work easier and ensures that your project has the correct texture, drape and durability.

Q: What types of projects or techniques can I find in the Technique, Project Type or Yarn Speciality category?

✔️ At Garmonyarns you can search for specific yarns for projects such as: 🧸 Amigurumi: Strong, matte yarns with good twist to hold their shape. 👶 Babies: Soft, hypoallergenic fibres that are gentle on the skin. 🧦 Socks: Blends with polyamide or nylon that provide elasticity and strength. 🖌️ Punch needle: Yarns compatible with different needle sizes, offering good coverage and texture. 🪢 Decorative macramé: Yarns that add colour and texture, although they do not serve a structural function. 🧣 Garments and accessories: Yarns adapted to the season and type of garment: lightweight for summer or warm for winter. 🌍 Sustainable projects: Eco-friendly, recycled or GOTS-certified yarns.

Q: What yarns are best for making amigurumi?

✔️ The best yarns for amigurumi are those with good twist, low fuzz and strong resistance, which allow the pieces to hold their shape and the stitches to remain well defined. The most common choice is mercerised cotton or matte cotton yarn, although high-quality acrylic yarns are also used. Brands such as Scheepjes, Drops or Rico Design offer perfect options for amigurumi.

Q: What yarns are ideal for baby garments?

✔️ For knitting or crocheting baby garments, it is essential to choose yarns that are extra soft, hypoallergenic, breathable and pleasant to the touch. The best options are cotton, bamboo, linen or blends specifically designed for babies, as well as super-soft merino wools if the project is for winter. In addition, it is important that they are yarns that withstand frequent washing well.

Q: What type of yarn is recommended for socks?

✔️ For knitting socks, the yarn should be elastic, abrasion-resistant and durable. The ideal choice is wool that includes a percentage of nylon or polyamide (usually between 20 and 30%), which provides strength and prevents the socks from deforming or breaking. Merino wool with polyamide is a very common combination, as it offers softness, comfort and durability.

Q: What characteristics should yarn for punch needle have?

✔️ Yarn for punch needle must be compatible with the size of the needle you are going to use. The recommended weights range from Fingering to Bulky, depending on the desired effect. In addition, it is important that the yarn has enough body and texture so that the stitches remain firm and well defined on the base fabric. At Garmonyarns you can find yarns perfectly suited to punch needle, both in natural and synthetic fibres.

Q: Do you offer sustainable yarns according to the technique or project type?

✔️ Yes, at Garmonyarns we are committed to sustainability and offer yarns that suit any technique while also being eco-friendly, recycled, vegan or GOTS-certified. For example, for baby garments you can find organic cottons, for punch needle recycled fibres, and for winter clothing ethically produced wools with traceability, such as those from Erika Knight, BC Garn or Kremke Soul Wool.

Q: Can I ask for help to choose the right yarn according to my technique?

✔️ Of course. Our team at Garmonyarns is here to help you. You can contact us if you are unsure about which yarn to choose for your project, whether it’s crochet, knitting, punch needle, amigurumi, socks or any other technique. We will guide you based on your needs, the type of project, the finish you are looking for and your preferences regarding composition (natural, sustainable, synthetic, vegan…).
