The English classic “tweed” is making a comeback
Tweed fabric has a coarse, woolen texture and originated in Great Britain. This type of fabric owes its name to the place where it was first produced: along the River Tweed. Tweed yarn gives your projects a worn look with beautiful subtle color gradients, lending them an authentic feel. Use tweed yarn to create a beautiful, sturdy throw blanket, a rugged pillowcase, or a wonderfully warm knitted sweater.
Creating Transparent Surfaces Using the Openwork Technique
Lace knitting, also known as ajour knitting, is a special art form within the craft of knitting. With this technique, you work with fine yarn and relatively large knitting needles. The many openings in the piece create the illusion of lace. This technique is particularly well-suited for making summer garments, such as a breezy top or a beach tunic.
Denim will never disappear from the streets again
Denim has a place in almost everyone’s wardrobe. That’s not surprising, because denim is so versatile that you could wear a denim garment for almost any occasion. That’s why it’s no surprise that the craft world is also capitalizing on this trend with yarns that have a denim-like appearance. Yarns in denim colors come in various compositions. From 100% Cotton to wool-Acrylic blends. Below are a few of our favorites for this season and the next:
A dash never looks out of place
Like denim, stripes are a true classic, and almost everyone owns at least one piece of clothing featuring some kind of striped pattern. Thin stripes, thick stripes, horizontal or vertical. There are so many ways to style a striped pattern. Especially when it comes to patterns, you’ll find plenty of inspiration for creating decorations and clothing items with stripes. For example, you’ll find chunky sweaters, casual tops, and stylish Home Accessories featuring stripes.
All in white
This might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but when done right, it’s incredibly elegant. An all-white outfit. Chic and also suitable for more formal occasions. For example, knit a pair of stretchy pants using white yarn or crochet a beautiful white shawl. Since only the color is set, you can experiment a lot with different shapes, layers, and textures in your outfit.
