Dear users, dear creators,
what materials, aside from cotton, are manageable in this heat?
Are there any techniques that are more comfortable in this heat than, for example, crocheting a cozy blanket?
Let me know.

I’m currently using bamboo yarn—it’s nice and cool and soft. It’s definitely more comfortable to work with than the thick yarn I’m using for my cozy blanket :D

I like to knit with cotton and linen in the summer.
Of course, lace yarn with silk works best—it’s never too hot for that.

But even if the yarn has a high bamboo content, it’s still comfortable to knit with.

I knit and crochet year-round with yarn that’s 50% cotton and 50% acrylic.
Whether it feels pleasantly cool or warm to me depends on the number of strands.
The more strands, the warmer it is.
