From summery decor ideas to airy clothing to cozy blankets and pillows – the possibilities are endless. But which yarns are best suited for the respective unique Granny Square creations? One thing right upfront: The choice of yarn is decided project-dependently. Summery DIY ideas or cozy Grannys – we'll tell you which yarns you should use for the respective projects. Let's go!
Yarns for summery Grannys
For summer projects, we recommend pure cotton yarns such as the popular yarns Cotton Quick uni and Cotton Fun. While Cotton Quick uni is known for its shiny appearance thanks to its refinement, Cotton Fun stands for its matte look. The yarn Eco Cotton – 100% organic cotton – is also very popular for this purpose.
