Crocheting a Shawl
To crochet a shawl, you’ll obviously need the right yarn and a suitable Crochet Hook. Below, we’re highlighting the best yarns for crocheting a shawl. We’re also featuring a few Crochet Hooks, so you’ll have everything you need for your shawl!
What do you need to crochet a shawl?
First of all, yarn! But which yarns are best for a shawl? Would you like a warm shawl? Then choose a wool (mix) like Yarn and Colors Joy or Happy. Are you crocheting a shawl for summer, or are you sensitive to wool? Then choose an Acrylic (blend) like Stylecraft Special DK or a Cotton (blend) like Yarn and Colors Baby Fabulous or Pink Label Mixed-up.
And don’t forget: the good old Crochet Hook. A good Crochet Hook, like the Clover Amour or Yarn and Colors Crochet Hook, can go a long way toward helping you get started—as long as you know which size to use. Need help choosing? Check out this blog post where we explain which Crochet Hook to use for which project!
