Which wool yarns in your collection are best for beginners in knitting or crochet?

At Apricot Yarn & Supply, we recommend starting with our Merino wool yarns for beginners because they're soft, easy to handle, and less likely to split. Look for worsted or DK weight yarns in our Wool Yarn Collection, as these are easier to see and manage when learning. Our team is always happy to suggest specific yarns based on your project and skill level—feel free to reach out or visit our knitting classes for personalized advice!

What kinds of wool yarn can I find in the Apricot Yarn & Supply collection?

Our wool yarn collection includes a range of high-quality fibers, like ultra-soft Merino wool for cozy sweaters, classic wool blends for extra durability, and eco-friendly options for sustainable projects. We offer various yarn weights and colors, perfect for knitting, crochet, or weaving.

How do I choose the right wool yarn for my project?

When selecting wool yarn, consider your project’s needs—lighter weights like fingering or sport are great for socks and shawls, while thicker options like worsted or bulky work well for scarves and blankets. Feel free to ask our team for help, or check out our knitting blog for tips on picking the best fiber and weight for your next project.

Is wool yarn suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Many of our wool yarns are easy to work with and ideal for beginners. We offer smooth, medium-weight yarns that don’t split easily, making them perfect for learning stitches and building confidence. Plus, you can join our beginner knitting classes or ask for personal recommendations in-store.

How do I care for my finished projects made with wool yarn?

To keep your wool yarn creations looking great, we recommend gently hand-washing them in cool water with a mild detergent. Lay your project flat to dry to prevent stretching or shrinking. Always check the specific yarn label for any extra care instructions, as some blends may be machine-washable.

Are your wool yarns good for people with sensitive skin?

Many customers with sensitive skin love our Merino wool yarn because it’s softer and less itchy than traditional wool. If you’re sensitive, we suggest starting with Merino or one of our soft wool blends—feel free to ask us for a hands-on feel in-store to find yarn that’s comfortable for you.
