Summer
While wool remains the go-to choice for knitwear, natural fibers like cotton and silk offer lighter insulation which makes them better suited to summer weather. Cotton and silk yarns tend to be more forgiving and gentler on your hands when knitting than heavier wool yarns; summer projects should feature shorter, looser fits than their winter counterparts to allow adequate airflow during warmer temperatures; these projects may even use self-striping yarn for color changing fun without changing yarn colors and weaving in ends!
