Spring Into Knitting: Our Favourite Yarns for the New Season
As the days grow longer and the air turns warmer, it's time to put away the chunky wools and reach for something lighter. Spring knitting is all about breathable, natural fibres that feel wonderful against the skin — and we have three beautiful yarns that are perfect for the season.
Line by Sandnes Garn
If you're looking for a yarn that captures the essence of spring, Line is it. This gorgeous blend of cotton, viscose, and linen has a unique matte-meets-sheen finish that gives your knits a polished, effortless look. It's soft, absorbent, and wonderfully cool to wear — ideal for tees, tanks, and lightweight cardigans. At 110 metres per 50g and knitted on 4mm needles, it works up beautifully into relaxed, drapey garments that are just right for warmer days.
Tynn Line by Sandnes Garn
Think of Tynn Line as Line's finer, more delicate sister. With the same cotton, viscose, and linen blend — 53% cotton, 33% viscose, and 14% linen — but at a lighter 3-ply weight, Tynn Line gives you incredible stitch definition and a beautiful drape. At 220 metres per 50g, it's perfect for intricate lace tops, breezy summer wraps, and anything where you want a little more refinement. Knit it up on 3mm needles for a fabric that feels like a second skin.
Crealino by Lang Yarns
For those who love the pure, natural feel of linen, Crealino by Lang Yarns is a dream. Made from 100% linen, this DK-weight yarn is super-soft and gets even better with every wash — linen is known for softening beautifully over time. It's wonderfully breathable and has that lovely, slightly rustic texture that makes spring and summer knits look so effortlessly chic. At £8.95 per ball, it's a little luxury worth every penny.
