The Best Yarns For Crochet Garments: My Top Ten Picks Revealed!

[@noworriesnailart]

I've only been crocheting for a little over 4 months but I'd like to venture into making garments. I saved this video for later! I'm thankful for this info because I had no idea where to start when it came to choosing yarn for garments.

So thankful for this video. I plan on using a pattern to make my cottagecore style wedding dress! So excited to have a look at some of these yarns!

[@priscilaavila3098]

Thank you for all the tips totally agree with you on each one of your reasons behind these being great yarns for garments and caboo is definitely my favorite one so far for garments considering Texas heat it’s only appropriate and it’s definitely machine washable on delicate I’ve made myself tops with that yarn and have loved them. Haven’t tried comfy yarn or silk yarn but definitely going to experiment with them this year

“The lighter the yarn weight the better the garment”. Amen!!!! Could not agree more!

[@TwoBrothersBlankets]

Right?! I'll die on that hill! lol!

[@Knottycrochetery]

THANK YOU! I want to start making garments so easily but I need it to be soft and affordable. This is SO helpful!

[@angrypanda5042]

Absolutely love lightweight yarns! These are my favorites too. Thanks for this. I love so many of your designs.

Great Video, I very much wanted to see these yarns worked up in the patterns you were talking about. Yarn Choice is so important❤🤗

Thanks so much for putting this out. I've wanted to venture into sweaters and lighter tops for myself, but I thought I had to avoid acrylic, so I purchased a bunch of wool. Most is superwash because I wholeheartedly agree that "can it be washed?" is a major consideration, but I have purchased some regular wool that will require hand washing as well. I hope I don't hate it! TBD. Anyway, I feel like I have permission to use acrylic now without fear that I'll be making something that doesn't look nice enough to wear. Thanks again!

I love Coboo too!

[@brendaslaughter7914]

Love these wonderful tips on which yarns are good for clothing projects. I've pretty much operated on what I could afford since I began crocheting and your tips reassure me that I have made some very wise choices. THANKS!

Thanks so much for the great guidance!!

As you was getting closer to number one, I was thinking “she hasn’t mentioned comfy yet” 😂 Comfy is my go to when it comes to the website to purchase it from. I love it! I have used it for many summer and winter makes. Mostly in the size one yarn, but worsted I have as well. Thanks for this video! I am saving it for future use.

[@TwoBrothersBlankets]

It's my favorite yarn! Love it so much!

Thank you so much for this video! I just found your channel today and have subscribed! 😊 I am making my first ever garment...a 4xlt cardigan as a gift. They live in a cooler climate. My head is spinning when it comes to picking the right yarn. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!☺

Thank you much, this is so helpful

[@hrdhededwm]

Yes! thank you for this valuable info.

[@karenleslie2096]

thank you so much for these selections!😊

[@florab6970]

Love your choices! Unfortunately, can't use Hawthorne or Stroll because I'm super allergic to wool. Will have to try the Comfy though. Thanks, I have been really getting into the thinner yarns lately and the right yarn totally makes or breaks the project,

[@mandarina_morada]

Will the combo shrink in the wash? Since cotton tends to shrink after washing

[@debbiesheets5585]

Where can I find a pattern for a cardigan that doesn’t use a worsted weight yarn. I crochet, not knit. Ty

[@karencote6810]

I want to crochet a summer dress, but it calls for worsted Red Heart (yuck)...I'm afraid to use a cotton due to the weight and shrinking. It will take approximately 1500 yards. I know, you love the Comfy, but that is such a tiny skein of yarn. Acrylic doesn't wick sweat on a hot day. What yarn do you think would be best for a summer dress?

[@leeann9775]

I’m just starting out making garments. I prefer 3 weight, haven’t tried finer yet. Problem is most patterns call for 4 weight yarn. Can a pattern be done in a finer yarn? How if so? Thanks for the great video

[@TwoBrothersBlankets]

There are many patterns that call for thinner yarns than 4! I have several roundups on my blog for DK, Sport, and Fingering weights! I suggest checking those out: www.twobrothersblankets.com/category/roundups/ If you're trying to use a finer yarn for a pattern that calls for a worsted, you'll likely have trouble meeting gauge.
