• For summer light and openwork blouses, a cotton or linen thread is ideal, because this item of clothing should perfectly pass the air and allow the body to breathe. Such threads are usually thin.
• If you decide to tie a sweater for colder and severe weather, then opt for a yarn, which contains wool. After all, this item must warm. The yarn can consist of 100%wool, and can only contain some of the clean woolen thread. When choosing, it must be remembered that cashmere products are very picky in sock and care.

• For knitting a sweater, different knitting needles may be needed. Most often, ordinary straight knitting needles are used. They can be made of metal, bamboo, plastic. To get raglan, collars, you may need circular knitting needles or stockings. This is necessary to avoid unnecessary seams.
