Yarn selection
The choice of yarn is of utmost importance. Each thread is endowed with its own characteristics, which are usually written on the label. Do not ignore the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the care of yarn, since the life of the knitted product depends on this. The following types of yarn are presented in the assortment of specialized stores:
- Woolen
- half-woolen;
- synthetic;
- cotton;
- mohair;
- wool of home spinning.
Practical tips
Knitting horizontal patterns are very suitable for making wool products. They are perfectly worn and do not lose their shape with proper care of them. For knitting hats, sweaters, scarves or any outerwear, thick threads are suitable. Knitting dresses, blouses, vests, pullovers is recommended from fine wool, which is taken in three or four threads. Sports things should be knitted from a thick thread or pet yarn.
The yarn brought from the store should not be immediately rewound into balls. It must be washed. To do this, you need to collect water 30 - 40 degrees, put there a baby or bath soap, beat the foam. Then lower the yarn there, gently squeeze it with your hands (no need to rub), using a delicate wash. Rinse thoroughly in water and dry.
For knitting, you can also use second-hand yarn. To do this, it is necessary to undo the product parts, dissolve them (usually dissolve from top to bottom) and wind them into a skein (not to be confused with a ball). Then wash according to the above method and start a new knitting.
Simple patterns
Knitting horizontal patterns with knitting are very easy (even for beginners). There are some simple drawings that are suitable for almost any DIY product. Among them:

- Hosiery knitting. This is a simple knit, in which all the loops are knitted facial. At each turn of the work, knitting is obtained against the way the loops look, since the front loop on the other hand becomes seamy.
