What's your favourite yarn for winter?

Each month, three of your favourite brands will answer a hot-topic question about knitting…

Namaste is perfect for the colder months. Soft and chunky, this woolly yarn works up quickly and is the ultimate indulgence. It comes in an array of 34 colours, with a beautiful pastel palette. Those long winter evenings are made for crafting, and in a busy world, crafting has become the new yoga! Simy Somer Scheepjes Creative Director

Made of 100% wool, Natura is an incredibly light and soft singleply, roving-style yarn. It works wonderfully in chunky accessories and Icelandicstyle jumpers. It’s perfect for chilly weather and great for classic aran-style garments, too. The yarn will felt easily, so it’s perfect for felted projects as well. Mari Kangas Marketing Content Specialist

Mérinos 7 is our favourite uberwarm yarn for winter. Made of 100% Merino wool, from the Falkland Islands, it is the biggest of our Merino yarns. It’s ideal for accessories and larger knits. Soft, light and airy, it is a good yarn for all the family. Knitters are sure to enjoy its easy-to-knit texture and stand-out stitch definition. Clara Gallee Poinen Community Manager
