When people think of Knitting they generally think of the big jumpers, scarves and gloves worn in the cold winter months but this is not the only time of year that you can wear hand knitted items and the garments do not have to be bulky and thick. Knitters like to knit clothes all year round and there are a number of Knitting Wools on the market that are ideal for the summer months. One of our newest wools is the Senses Lace Knitting Wool which is Stylecraft's first lace yarn. It is a mixture of acrylic and mohair giving it a luxurious and soft feel with a rich sheen to it. The Knitting Wool can be knitted up into lace patterns and would be perfect for making a light cardigan to go over a dress in the evening during the summer months. This Knitting Wool is available in 8 different colours and has a subtle shading to it giving a more interesting look to the garment rather than a flat colour. Another popular Knitting Wool for the warmer months is Stylecraft's Classique Cotton. Made with 100% cotton it is great for anybody who cannot wear acrylic or manmade fibres and it is cool to wear in the heat of the summer. This double knitting yarn has a crisp stitch definition and can be used for Knitting or Crocheting. It is perfect for making summer tops and accessories and with a range of 17 vibrant colours there is something to suit everybody and inspire you for your next project. Cotton can be more comfortable to knit with than other yarns however it is recommended for more advanced knitters. Many summer knit designs are knitted with larger needles to decrease the density of the fabric and to allow the air to circulate more easily in the heat. The patterns tend to have a more of an open or lace design to allow this to happen also.
