How do I choose the right yarn texture for my project?

Choosing the right yarn texture depends on your project type. Are you making a sweater, a blanket, or something else?

I'm making a sweater. What textures work best for that?

For sweaters, soft and smooth textures like merino wool or cotton blends are great. They provide comfort and drape well.

What about for a blanket? I want it to be cozy.

For a cozy blanket, consider using chunky yarns or boucle textures. They add warmth and a nice tactile feel.

Are there any specific brands you recommend?

Yes! Brands like Lion Brand, Bernat, and Cascade Yarns offer excellent options for both sweaters and blankets.
