Cotton is the best yarn for weaving towels, light blankets, throws, summer wraps, and scarves. Wool weaving provides elasticity and is best for beginners. Linen is great for lightweight projects which will get a fair amount of use and is often used in blends. Hemp is best for table runners, upholstery, wall hangings, placemats, and baskets. Rayon is a silk look-alike and is suited for stylish scarves and wraps. Soy, bamboo, and Tencel fibres are ideal for lightweight and stylish apparel.
