All yarn/fibers have different natural properties, the same property like when you buy finished knitted garments. Before you choose yarn for a specific model, it is important to know the yarns different structures, form stability, durability and thermal properties, so you get the correct quality for the wanted usage!
Would you like to knit or crochet:
Socks for everyday use; they must be durable (preferably mixed with some synthetic) and machine washable (superwash treated).
Sport sweaters, - caps and -gloves for active kids and adults; the fibers must tolerate to be warm and it must be machine washable. Here it is important that you choose a lasting quality which is durable, tight spun and superwash treated.
Soft, pretty blouse for dressing up or at the office; the nicer fibers, the looser they are spun together, the lighter, more delicately and soft the garment feels. Which means a blouse you treat with caution and take good care of, also when you wash it.
Soft, mohair-like ponchos, shawls and scarves; choose one of the nice, long haired qualities with loose fibers, gladly mixed with alpaca and silk for the softest result.
Summer tops, -jackets or -blouses; feel free to use fine, long fibered and durable cotton yarns or mixed yarns, choose mercerized for shininess, viscose for gloss or linen for the rustic expression..
Slippers, bags, gloves and other things that can be felted; for the best result choose soft yarn preferably in pure wool, which is loosely spun and is NOT superwash treated.
Inside every shade card we describe the yarns fiber composition, properties and recommended usages, as well as important washing instructions, origin and Oeko-Tex certification.
