Types of yarn

Yarn is created from yarns, and yarn from fibers. Fibers can be of both natural and artificial origin. Before the fiber turns into a thread, it passes through a mass of different treatments - from cleaning to twisting. Yarn can be made from fibers of one kind or from impurities, depending on what will be knit from it. For example, in some types of yarn impurities are added to improve elasticity.

Let's consider some examples of natural fibers:

• Wool - this kind of material is made of sheep's wool. It retains heat for a long period of time. Often it is used for knitting scarves, socks and hats.
• Cashmere - a thin down of a high-mountain goat cashmere breed. The material is very refined and gentle, so its cost is quite high. Each fiber of such material is thinner than a human hair. That is why when you come into contact with it, you get the impression of lightness and tenderness.
• Angora - the fluff of Angora rabbits. The coat is very soft, fluffy and warm. With proper care, the product from angorka can last for more than one year. Wash sweaters from such a coat is recommended only by chemical means with extreme caution.
• Silk - is extracted from the cocoons of silkworms. The length of one silk thread is approximately 1000 m. Due to the fact that this raw material is not so easy to extract, it is very expensive in the market. In most cases, natural silk threads are combined with other types of yarn.
• Cotton is a vegetable fiber. The material has good hygienic properties and thermal conductivity. Very strong raw materials and quite affordable. However, cotton yarn is often subjected to severe crushing and adverse effects of light.

Let's consider some examples of synthetic fibers:

• Microfiber - consists of fibers of polyamide and other polymers. The material received such a name because of its small thickness. Such fibers are used in the manufacture of fabric and knitwear.
• Acrylic is made from ethylene. Such fibers are very tough, unlike other artificial yarns. It is very easy to paint in bright colors. In addition, it is not susceptible to insect attack( moth).
• Nylon is referred to as lightweight yet durable fibers. It is used to create knitwear. Has very high elasticity. From it very often knit socks.
• Metallic - this type of raw material is used as an ornament. If you knit a sweatshirt or scarf only from this raw material, then as a result of wearing it will be very uncomfortable. Therefore, this yarn is combined with other types of raw materials.

Important! There is a mixture of yarn, that is, combine several types of raw materials to achieve a better result at the end of knitting of a particular product. In simple terms, a synthetic yarn is added to natural yarn to impart shine or elasticity.

From such a wide range of yarns you can choose any of them. The main thing - take into account your own preferences and desires.
