Collection FAQs

What is acrylic yarn and what is it used for?

Acrylic yarn is a synthetic fibre known for its durability, affordability, and resistance to shrinking and stretching. It's a popular choice for a wide variety of knitting and crochet projects, including garments, accessories, home décor, and toys, due to its ease of care and vibrant colour options.

Is acrylic yarn suitable for beginners?

Yes, acrylic yarn is excellent for beginners. It's generally easy to work with, doesn't split easily, and is forgiving if you make a mistake, as it can often be unravelled and re-stitched without damage. Its affordability also makes it a great choice for practicing new stitches and techniques.

Can I use acrylic yarn for both knitting and crochet?

Absolutely. Acrylic yarn is highly versatile and performs wonderfully for both knitting and crochet. Whether you're creating intricate crochet patterns or classic knitted garments, our acrylic range offers the right weight and texture for your specific craft.

What's the difference between 100% acrylic yarn and acrylic wool blends?
