2019 Popular Yarn Rankings

As the weather cools down, various warm clothing products are selling briskly, and the sales of traditional hand-knitted yarn have also entered their peak season. What are the popular yarns this year? Let's take a look at the list from Yercan Wool Textile.

Fifth Place: Wool Yarn

For traditional warm clothing like sweaters, wool yarn is the first choice. In the colder parts of northern my country, people still prefer to wear wool sweaters. With the improvement of spinning technology, various high-grade animal fiber yarns have emerged, such as rabbit hair, cashmere, and mink cashmere, providing people with more choices for sweaters.

Fourth Place: Hand-Knitted Yarn

Hand-knitted yarn is traditional acrylic yarn. In the 1960s and 70s, ordinary acrylic yarn was mostly used for knitting sweaters. With the improvement of living standards and the emergence of other warm clothing products, acrylic yarn gradually faded from people's sight, and its uses decreased, mainly being used for crocheting shoes. In southwestern my country, hand-crocheted shoes are highly distinctive, and woolen shoes have even become a must-have for weddings in some areas. Furthermore, knitting enthusiasts both domestically and internationally are now crocheting personalized and fashionable products such as decorative green plants and coasters, giving new life to products that were about to be phased out.

Third Place: Cotton Yarn

Cotton yarn is a traditional product, but with increasing environmental awareness and a focus on health, natural fiber products are gaining popularity. As a traditional yarn, cotton yarn has transcended the concept of woven fabric through improvements in spinning processes and is now primarily used for hand-crocheting. Shawls, scarves, and decorative coasters are becoming increasingly popular, giving this traditional yarn a new lease on life.

Second Place: Fabric Strips

Fabric strips are a relatively new product developed in the last two years. They are made by cutting a whole roll of fabric into strips of a certain width. They come in various colors, including solid colors, variegated colors, and printed colors. Currently, woven slippers, fashionable handbags, cushions, and floor mats are popular DIY products. Their fashionable and attractive appearance has made them a featured product at trendy yarn exhibitions and a mainstay of yarn sales.

First Place: Chenille. Chenille, also known as glossy fleece, is a new type of fancy yarn. It's made by twisting two strands of yarn into a core, sandwiching the downy yarn between them. 1.2-1.8 count chenille has a bright sheen and a soft hand feel, making it suitable for knitting gloves, hats, coats, sofa covers, bedspreads, blankets, tablecloths, etc.
