What is the best yarn for crocheting lampshades?
The best yarn for crocheting lampshades is a cotton or cotton blend yarn. It is preferred by experts because it is durable, doesn't stretch too much, and can withstand heat from light bulbs better than synthetic fibers.
It also provides a clean and neat finish, allowing light to filter through effectively if worked in an open pattern. A lighter weight yarn, like DK or sport weight, is often used for lampshades to produce finer details in the crochet work without being too bulky.
