The cotton looks much softer! And not as frizzy? I’m not sure that’s the right word, but I’m looking forward to trying some cotton yarn
@hellohawwaa Жыл бұрын
Yes! I totally agree with you! The cotton looks and feels a lot softer and definitely does not frizz/pill as much as acrylic- great catch! I hope your experience with cotton yarn is as fun as mine has been! :)

I have to say some acrylic yarns are very soft. It just depends on the company making it
@PandoraBear3575 ай бұрын
Some cottons are not very soft either. There is kitchen cotton and garment cotton. Cotton is also less stretchy than acrylic or wool so some people find working with it rough on their hands. It does have very good stitch definition.

Great video! i enjoyed how informative you made it and the side-by-side comparisons you offered. 😊

You will find that Mercerized Cotton has more shein to it, and there are a few European stores who has a large variety of colors for Cotton yarns ☺ But in the end the type of yarn we use depends on the project and how we feel it will fit the best.

Great question! I would recommend starting with thicker gauge yarn and then from there, acrylic or cotton would both work!

@EshasEpicDiary4 ай бұрын
Acrylic for winters as it will keep you warm, cotton for summer as it will allow air to pass through and not make you feel hot and it also gives you loose stitches to allow air ( preferable stich pattern to use when making a shrug for summers : mesh stich as it has big gaps to allow air in ) Hope this helps :)

In terms of environmental factor, is acrylic yarn generally more bad for it? Considering it can leave off a lot of micro fiber plastics
@hellohawwaa Жыл бұрын
Yes, any synthetic fiber or material you use is going to be worse for the environment than something that's natural like cotton. However, depending on the consumption or how materials are sourced/created, natural materials may are also bad for the environment and ethically harmful as well!

It's a wash really. Cotton requires a lot of water to grow, and unless certified organic, pesticides are likely used in the growing process.

you know those crochet mesh tops? can I make those with acrylic yarn?
@hellohawwaa6 ай бұрын
You can! If you're looking for a mesh feel/look, it would depend on the crochet stitch you're working with rather than the yarn! I would recommend the "mesh stitch" which I'd be happy to do a tutorial on soon :)

Can I use acrylic yarn for summer projects ? I'm new n I have no idea ;)
@hellohawwaa11 ай бұрын
You can! I would recommend using a bigger hook than the recommended one if you're looking to make something lightweight. I can do a video on this as well!
@karenbambam7 ай бұрын
It's not as breathable so you may get hot in it compared to cotton

Either one would work best! I would recommend choosing what weight you'd like your bag to be. The thicker the weight/gauge, the more sturdy your bag will be! Video on this coming soon :)
