Type of composition and materials of yarns | Page 3

Q: Which fibre should I choose for my project?

Start from the end use: cool, breathable fibres work well for summer; warm, elastic fibres for cosy garments; firm fibres for shaped pieces; and sustainable fibres if you are looking for responsible consumption. We classify the catalogue by composition so you can compare by property and choose the material that best suits your project.

Q: Which yarns are best for summer, and which are best for winter?

For summer, plant fibres work best: cool, lightweight and breathable. For winter, animal fibres provide warmth, softness and elasticity. Blends balance both qualities. Each family has its own collection within the yarns classified by composition, so you can go straight to the one that suits the season.

Q: What is the difference between natural and synthetic fibres?

Natural fibres stand out for their breathability and soft feel; synthetic fibres for their durability and easy care; and blends combine the best of both. Rather than one being better than the other, it is best to choose according to the project and the feel you want when knitting.

The types of yarn for knitting brought together in this collection are organised by composition, so you can choose the fibre according to what you are going to create. At Garmon Yarns, we group the entire catalogue by material —animal, plant-based, synthetic or sustainable— with most products certified to Oeko-Tex, EN71-3, GOTS or Tencel standards. This way, you can compare by property rather than by brand, and go straight to the fibre family you need for your next knitting or crochet project.

Knitting Patterns

Which material should you choose for knitting according to your project?

Choose the material according to your project: for summer, cool and breathable fibres; for warm garments, warm and elastic fibres; for shaped pieces, firm fibres; and for responsible consumption, sustainable fibres. At Garmon Yarns, we group knitting materials by composition so you can compare by property and go straight to the family you need.

Each composition performs differently in terms of feel, drape and durability. To help guide you, this is the logic by family:

▷ Animal fibres: warm, elastic and soft, ideal for warm garments.
▷ Plant fibres: cool and breathable, perfect for spring and summer projects.
▷ Synthetic fibres: durable and easy-care, an easy material to work with.
▷ Sustainable fibres: certified and low-impact options, for knitting with responsible criteria.

Types of yarn for knitting by composition

We have classified all the different types of yarn for knitting by their composition, so you can reach the fibre you are looking for in one click, with a wide range of colours in each family. Below, you will find each material with its own collection: animal and plant fibres, synthetic blends and low-impact options, including our selection of sustainable yarns.

If you prefer to start with weight rather than material, you can also choose by yarn weights and combine both criteria to find the right match for your project.
