If you want to connect warm thing, select yarn from wool (mohair, mohair, cashmere, the alpaca, merino), it well keeps heat, soft and elastic. Unfortunately, it has some shortcomings is education pellet, the product at sock is wiped, grows bald, and also after washing can change the initial form. To lower these shortcomings, it is better to select yarn from wool with partial addition of synthetics (acryle, nylon, lycra, viscose, polyester, Lurex, microfiber).
The yarn with the uniform and well twisted thread well is suitable for knitting of relief patterns, and it is better to use poorly twisted fluffy thread for the low-expressed pattern.

Upon purchase of wool yarn, pay attention to certain number on label, for example: 10/2, 32/2, 50/2. The first figure designates thread thickness - the more number, the is thinner, thread. The second figure means number of additions. So, figure 2 means that the thread is twisted from two threads.

Effect of warming at cotton rather low, but above than at flax. Therefore products from cotton can be carried at not strongly hot and average temperatures. Because yarn from cotton not elastic, and requirements to crochet works at it the. From such yarn elastic bands and impressive patterns badly turn out. Products from cotton are valuable that are convenient and pleasant in sock, are well erased (it is possible to presoak previously), breathe - pass air and easily absorb moisture.
Flax the strongest yarn. Products from flax absorb moisture easier and easier dry, than crochet works from cotton or wool. Flax does not compress at high temperatures and does not sit down. At hot and very hot weather of product from flax it is more preferable cotton. It is difficult to paint or bleach flax. Therefore, most often meets yarn from flax, natural, gray-beige flowers.
