Yarn Blends of Wool
Wool is often blended with other types of yarn to utilize the best properties from both types of yarn. For example, the coarser types of yarn have the advantage that they are stronger and more durable, whereas the finer yarn fibers make for a soft and comfortable yarn.The Many Properties of Wool Blends
Common blends are Alpaca and wool, cotton and merino wool, wool and nylon and wool and acrylic. These blends are all sold at Hobbii, and if these blends are the ones you’re after, you’ve come to the right place.Wool blends can be used for a lot of different projects, only your imagination sets the limit. For example, a blend of merino wool and cotton is great for crocheting or knitting blankets for children and adults alike. It’s especially good for children as they can have difficulties controlling their body temperature - this yarn can help with this, so it's neither too hot or too cold for them. On the other hand, a wool and nylon blend is a much more durable and hard-wearing blend, which is therefore very suitable for knitting socks. The nylon yarn gives it a strong abrasion-resistance, while the wool, on the other hand, contributes with a lot of warmth. So, if you are looking for a cosy project, then this is definitely the blend for you.
