Why are knitted clothes so itchy ?

Knitted clothes can sometimes feel itchy due to several factors, primarily the type of yarn used and the construction of the garment. Natural fibers like wool, mohair, and alpaca are common materials for knitting due to their warmth and durability. However, these fibers can contain microscopic scales or fibers that may irritate sensitive skin, leading to itchiness.

Additionally, certain knitting techniques or tight weaves can result in rougher textures that feel scratchy against the skin. To minimize itchiness, opting for softer yarns like merino wool or cashmere, choosing garments with looser knits, or wearing a layer underneath can help provide a barrier between the skin and the fabric. 🧶
