A Guide to Choosing Summer Yarns for Knitting Projects || With Yarn Inspo & Pattern Tips

I'm Maria (she/her) and welcome to Wild Knits Glasgow. I make videos about my life in Glasgow as a newbie knitwear designer and a mum of one. On this channel, you’ll find some knit & chat sit-downs, podcasts, reviews and exciting deep dives into specific knitting topics!
Join the gang and subscribe if you want to geek out about knitting topics with me.

In this video I dive into the world of summer yarns. We’re looking at why cotton and linen are some of the most well-loved choices for summer garments and which biosynthetic fibres can be alternatives. I fan girl over the wonder that is Tencel lyocell and also tell you how wool can work for a summer knit too. Let me know if you like this video & comment with your favourite summer patterns below!
