(prHWY.com) February 8, 2013 - USA, AL -- USA, Feb 09, 2013 - Anyone who has anything to do with knitting will know the importance of knitting yarns. For many people one of the most enjoyable aspects of the craft is browsing through the many yarns available in a knitting shop. This is because there are numerous textures of yarn and a vast array of colours to choose from. All in all choosing your knitting yarn is a pleasurable experience.

People who are experienced in the art of knitting know the importance of using the best quality knitting yarn they can get hold of. In fact what type of knitting yarn to use is one of the most important decisions a craftsperson has to make. The choice available is vast and the decision depends on what garment you want to create. So for example, if you are looking to make a scarf or a hat you could look to use New Fizz' or for a lightweight summer top use Dune', or for a realistic animal colour use Foxy'. For general garment creation, one of the best known kitting yarns is Sirdar'. Often the better yarns are provided with a range of knitting patterns leaflets.

Knitting Wool is also available in different weights. The main weights for wool are the following: worsted, super bulky, 4-ply, double knitting, and chunky. It is important that you know the correct weight to use for a certain knitting pattern.

However, you must be cautious when using wool for knitting. Some people are sensitive to wool, and they develop allergies to dander and dust that stick to wool. So before you knit a sweater for your friend, be sure that he or she is not allergic to wool.

There are some things to remember. Firstly, it is always a good idea to do a tension square as you may need different amounts of knitting yarn. A good place to start particularly if you are relatively new to knitting to look for patterns is the yarn skein, which comes wrapped and nearly every one of these will have a pattern on it. This is particularly good as the pattern will be correct for the yarn being used. The other advantage is that these patterns are in effect free. There are old favourites such as books and magazines. Often books give step by step instructions as well as a general knitting overview. Finally, an ever growing source of information on both knitting patterns and the best knitting yarns to use is the Internet. This includes dedicated knitting sites and an increasing number of forums where enthusiasts can ask questions, provide advice and share tips and tricks.
