Yarn & Hook Guide

The best yarn and hook are the pair that produce the fabric your project needs. The yarn label is a starting point; your swatch is the final answer.

Match fiber to purpose

• Cotton: crisp definition for bags, cloths, and warm-weather work.
• Wool: elasticity and warmth for garments and accessories.
• Acrylic: durable, accessible, and available in many colors.
• Blends: combine softness, drape, warmth, or easy care.

Choose a hook

Try inline and tapered heads. Increase hook size for more drape and decrease it for denser fabric, while still checking the pattern gauge.
