Choosing the right yarn for summer clothes
Summer is a time for lightness, freedom of movement and comfort in clothing. When choosing yarn for knitting summer clothes, it is important to pay special attention to the material. In this blog post, we’ll look at three of the most popular and suitable options for summer knitting: cotton, linen and bamboo.
Cotton
Cotton is one of the most widely used and favorite materials for summer clothes. This vegetable raw material is extracted from cotton plants and offers a number of advantages. First, cotton is an extremely breathable material that allows air to circulate through the knit, providing a feeling of freshness and comfort even in high temperatures. In addition, it has excellent absorbent properties, making it a suitable choice for people who sweat easily. Cotton is ideal for sensitive skin as it is gentle and non-irritating. Another plus is that cotton knits are easy to maintain and wash, making them a practical choice for everyday wear.

Linen
Linen is known for its breathable and cooling properties, making it ideal for summer clothing. This raw material is obtained from the flax plant and has been popular for centuries due to its versatile uses. Linen is naturally resistant to bacteria and fungi, making it suitable for people with sensitive skin or allergies. Linen fiber is among the most durable and healthy plant fibers, which guarantees a long life of its clothes. Knits made with linen yarn become softer and more comfortable to wear over time. And last but not least, flax is environmentally sustainable, requiring less water and pesticides to produce than cotton.

It is a renewable resource that is extracted from bamboo plants and is popular for its eco-friendly and sustainable features. Bamboo yarns are extremely soft and smooth to the touch, offering a feeling of incredible comfort. They also have excellent moisture-absorbing properties, making them ideal for sportswear or to be worn during activities in the summer. Bamboo is among the natural materials that are environmentally sustainable and biodegradable, making it an attractive choice for people who are mindful of their environmental footprint.
