Hogyan keményítsünk ki darabokat cukros vízzel

Ebben a DROPS videóban azt mutatjuk meg, hogyan keményítsük ki cukros vízzel a DROPS Extra 0-1394 minta horgolt szívét. Hideg vízben jó sok cukrot feloldunk (120 ml vízben 90 gramm cukrot), és addig keverjük, amíg minden cukor felolvad. Mártsuk a szívet a cukros vízbe, nyomkodjuk ki, majd vízszintes felületen formára igazítva szárítsuk meg (1-2 nap). Ha nem elég kemény, ismételjük meg a folyamatot, amíg a darabunk megfelelő keménységű less.(színtelen szénsavas üdítőt is használhatunk. Az alábbi képre kattintva érhetjük el azt a mintát, amiben ezt a módszert használjuk.

How to smooth out curly yarn

The yarn inside a yarnball may be curly. If you want to make a scarf with tassel you would perhaps like that the tassel is not so curly. In this DROPS video we show a simple way to correct / smooth out the yarn. Cut the tassels into the desired length and attach it to the scarf. Put the scarf with the tassels in water and then squeeze the water out. Shake then very hard (much harder than we show in the video). When dry and after the tassels are much more smoothed out. You must read the pattern and look at the chart to be able to follow. You’ll find patterns using this technique by clicking on the pictures below.

How to block a finished project

In this DROPS video we show how to block a little piece of the side on a shawl. To block is simply just to stretch a moist finished project and place it in a desired shape to dry. The process is repeated each time the garment is washed to keep the right shape. Put the shawl in lukewarm water until it is soaking wet. Gently squeeze out the water from the shawl - do not twist! The shawl should be only slightly damp when placed on a carpet, mattress or blocking boards - carefully stretch it to the correct measure and secure the edges with pins. The knitting needle we put in the shawl shows the knitting direction. Let the shawl dry. At the end of the video, we show the difference between the side that has been blocked and the side that hasn't. REMEMBER to also read instructions in the pattern in addition to watch our video, sometimes you are supposed to put the pins following a specific pattern on your piece to create tips. NB! It is very important not to stretch the finished project too much, but just stretch it to the measurement that are written in the pattern. You’ll find patterns by clicking on the pictures below.
