What Yarn Should I Take On Holiday 🧳

What Yarn Should I Take On Holiday 🧳

Holiday time means stitching time, just with more sun and maybe a few seagulls. But what yarns are best when you’re crafting away from home? Let’s explore the best fibres and tips for taking your hobby on holiday.


Think Breathable Fibres

Summer crafting calls for yarns that breathe. Cotton, linen, bamboo, and blends are perfect for keeping your hands (and your makes) feeling light and cool. They’re great for dishcloths, wraps, and baby items, too.


Plan for Portability

Choose projects that fit neatly into a small bag. Centre-pull cakes are ideal for travel since they’re less likely to tangle in transit. If you’re travelling by plane, swap your scissors for yarn snips, a beautiful pendant yarn cutter or dental floss cutters, airport security approved and still sharp enough!


Keep It Care Free

You don’t want to stress over delicate fibres while on the move. Go for machine-washable yarns or blends that hold their shape and colour. Bonus points if they double as stash busters!


Weight Matters

4ply, sport, or DK weight yarns strike a balance between portability and progress. They’re light in your bag but still satisfyingly quick to work up.
