First off, yarn can be made from different raw materials, including:
- Wool
- Cotton
- Silk
- Bamboo
- Acrylic
- Nylon
- Angora
The yarn types produced from these materials include:
- Sport weight. This is just plain old yarn, usually made of acrylic or wool.
- Chunky. This type of yarn is usually thicker, sometimes with nonuniformities in the thickness throughout.
- Sock and Fingering. These are thin yarns for finer, closer fabrics.
- Chenille. This yarn is soft, made of a chord of short hairlike protrusions, making it seem fuzzy.
- Bouclé. A yarn made of a cord lined with loops of fibers.
- Eyelash. Yarn that is lined with hairlike fibers, longer than those of chenille, making it seem hairy.
This is a general list. There are other forms of yarns, so do not assume that this is all that exists.
To get a good idea of how many yarn types there are, visit a local craft store that sells yarns and look around.
