Crochet is a fantastic craft that allows for great creative freedom, but for the result to be exactly as you envisioned, the choice of crochet yarn is crucial. Unlike knitted materials, crochet is often somewhat firmer and more compact, making it ideal for everything from interior details to sturdy accessories. At Marks & Kattens, we help you navigate through different fibers and weights to find the best yarn for your crochet hook.
When you buy crochet yarn online from us, you get access to qualities that are tested to provide both durability and a pleasant crocheting experience.
When talking about crochet yarns, cotton is often the first thing that comes to mind. And for good reason; cotton's softness and clear surface mean that every stitch is clearly visible, which is perfect for pattern knitting and lace. Our mercerized cotton yarn has a beautiful luster and extra strength, making it the absolute top choice for tablecloths and interior design. For those of you who crochet clothes or baby blankets, we also offer soft, matte cotton yarns that breathe and feel nice against the skin.
The trend of amigurumi – small crocheted figures – has taken the world by storm, especially among the younger generation of crafters. For these projects, you need a crochet yarn that does not lint and holds its shape even when the figure is stuffed tightly. We often recommend our colorful balls of 100% cotton or soft blended yarns for these projects. Thanks to our wide color spectrum, you can find exactly the shades you need to give your figures life and personality.
Right now we are seeing a huge demand for crochet yarns for quick, trendy projects that are seen on social media. Everything from crocheted tote bags to colorful bucket hats and chunky vests. For these projects, our thicker yarns work great. Crocheting with a thicker yarn gives a modern, structured look and makes the project grow quickly under your fingers. Don't miss our recycled options that give a rustic and sustainable feel to your DIY accessories.
We want everyone to be able to enjoy crocheting, regardless of their experience level. That's why we've created specific yarn packages for crocheting. Instead of searching for the right weight and color match yourself, you get everything you need in one package: our best crochet yarn and a carefully designed pattern. It's the surest way to guarantee that your project will turn out just as beautiful as the picture.
What is the difference between knitting yarn and crochet yarn?
Actually, most yarns can be both knitted and crocheted, but a typical crochet yarn is often more tightly twisted. This is so that the thread does not split when you pull the crochet hook through the stitches. When crocheting, you often want a clear stitch definition, which a well-twisted yarn gives better than a very fluffy yarn.
Which crochet yarn is best for beginners?
For those of you who are new to crocheting, we recommend a medium-weight cotton yarn. It is easy to see the stitches, the yarn glides well on the needle and it is easy to fix if you make a mistake. Avoid dark colors and very fuzzy yarns in the beginning, as this makes it harder to count the stitches.
Can you crochet with wool yarn?
Yes, absolutely! Crocheting with wool yarn gives wonderfully warm and soft results, perfect for shawls, hats and vests. However, keep in mind that crocheted material is thicker than knitted, so choose a slightly thinner wool quality or a larger crochet hook to ensure the garment has a nice drape and is not too stiff.
How do I choose the right size crochet hook for the yarn?
Each banner for our crochet yarn has a recommended hook size. Remember that if you crochet very tightly you may need to go up a size, and if you crochet loosely you may need to go down a size to reach the correct measurement.
