What Yarn for Knit Polos
Yarn selection for knit polos is more demanding than for pullovers — the collar and placket need sufficient structure to hold their shape. Cotton/modal blends are the mainstream choice; merino wool works well for spring/autumn.
Collar & Placket — The Soul of a Polo
The craftsmanship challenges of knit polos center on the collar and placket. Collar structure, placket flatness, and buttonhole stitching — these three elements determine the quality grade of a polo.
