Which yarn is best for a jumper

Today we will talk about which yarn is better to choose for a winter jumper. So that it was warm, pleasant to the body, did not sting, looked good in the product and brought pleasure.

For such products as a sweater, jumper or pullover, you should choose yarn that includes wool. And the higher its percentage, the warmer it will be

1. If you want a thin but warm jumper, pay attention to the strands of Gazzal "Wool Star". It is 100% melange hand-dyed merino. The yarn is thin, but warm, does not prick, it is very soft, does not pill, holds the elastic well and looks good in any pattern with any tool. Although with this coloring, your products will look great even in the front surface. I wouldn't say that the expenses are big. For example, you need about 5 strands for a medium-sized jumper. But I note that this is merino and it is strictly forbidden to use conditioner when washing, because you will lose the product forever

2. For voluminous jumpers, take a look at the Gazzal "Alpaca Air" (This yarn available here: https://candy-yarn.myshopify.com/products/gazzal-alpaca-air-17-colors-baby-alpaca-45846?_pos=1&_psq=Gazzal+%22Alpaca+Air&_ss=e&_v=1.0). This is an analogue of the well-known Drops Air, but cheaper. In this yarn, the manufacturer successfully combined merino and alpaca and added just a little polyamide for strength. When knitting it, a larger tool is used, so things will be knitted quickly, and large holes will be filled with down, which retains heat. The thread is pleasant to knit, soft, slightly fluffy, not prickly at all. Any pattern is suitable for her, and it does not matter whether it is a front surface, openwork, or braids with arans. Her palette is small, but what pleasant natural colors! Consumption of yarn, by the way, is economical. For example, you will need 5-6 skeins for a jumper, depending on the size of the tool.

3. I recommend another yarn, which includes alpaca, wool, and viscose. This is Yarnart "Milano" (This yarn available here: https://candy-yarn.myshopify.com/products/alpaca-yarn-yarnart-milano-sport-weight-17939?_pos=1&_psq=Yarnart+%22Milano%22&_ss=e&_v=1.0).
Most likely, you are already familiar with it from the "raglan shoulder strap" master class, and I can definitely say that it meets all the requirements of a yarn for a jumper. The product was not thick, but warm, cozy, not prickly, pleasant to the touch with a little fluff. Milano is suitable for both knitting and crocheting. And in any pattern, your things will look decent. You don't need a lot of yarn for the thing either. For a standard jumper of medium size, you will need 7-8 skeins, that is, 350-400 grams.

4. Alize "Wooltime" (This yarn available here: https://candy-yarn.myshopify.com/products/alize-wooltime-superwash-wool-yarn-37264?_pos=1&_psq=Alize+%22Wooltime&_ss=e&_v=1.0) yarn appeared on store shelves not so long ago. Its composition is more suitable for socks. But what warm and wonderful shoulder products it turns out! Medium-thick thread, thicker than sock thread, it knits perfectly, looks good both in knitting needles and in crochet. You can choose any pattern for it. And the plus of this yarn is that it is superwash wool, which can be washed in washing machines without remorse. The yarn has a good palette of single-color and sectional skeins. The section is convenient because you don't need to invent patterns with it. Yarn consumption for a jumper is 5 skeins.

5. Do you want a simple and warm jumper without freezing?
Get YarnArt "Bellissimo" (This yarn available here: https://candy-yarn.myshopify.com/products/yarnart-bellissimo-fluffy-mohair-yarn-58410?_pos=1&_sid=2a76af880&_ss=r) and you won't regret it. Thick, soft, fluffy yarn, in bright colors with a gradient. You don't need to choose a pattern with it. And thanks to the thickness of the thread, the products will be tied quite quickly! I almost forgot, the costs will surprise you, just 3 skeins and you will get a chic jumper without problems. A master class on it is already available in text format. I will definitely leave the link under the article.

6. And what can be offered to people with sensitive skin who do not like wool? My recommendation is hypoallergenic YarnArt Jeans Plus (This yarn available here: https://candy-yarn.myshopify.com/products/yarnart-jeans-plus-crochet-yarn-97959?_pos=1&_sid=94fb7b02c&_ss=r) . It is also called "winter" semi-cotton. With it you will get a warm and soft jumper. The thread is thick, it is easy and quick to knit, it looks good both in the front surface and in other patterns. In winter, you will definitely be warm, and things will look stylish thanks to the large knit.

In this case, the costs will be a little higher than in the previous versions: 6 skeins will go on a classic jumper with a front surface.
