Starting summer knits. Yarn recs for a beginner?

I’m an advanced beginner. I just made my first 2 sweaters and I enjoy this process. Can read charts, do basic cables & lace!

I’ve always worked with wool. Except I live in the SF Bay Area which isn’t very cold!

I want to knit tee shirts/ tops in summer yarns. But I’ve read so much about how inforgiving they are and hard to work with.

If I’m a beginner is there any yarn brands/ types that are easier? (Linen vs cotton?) or any advice on working with summer yarns?
