Where to buy yarn? If earlier this question was very relevant, today shops for creativity are a real paradise for needlewomen and craftswomen. There you can find everything you wish. In supermarkets for needlework, both yarn and knitting accessories are sold. And sometimes, having come for a hidden zipper, you can leave with a huge package of interesting threads and canvases for embroidery. But today on the shelves a new type of thread for knitting has appeared - yarn from pompons. At first glance, it is completely incomprehensible what can be made of it, and where to go about it. Let's try to figure it out together.
What is pompom yarn
This is a special type of yarn, which is characterized by the presence on the main thread of small or medium (depending on the manufacturer) fluffy lumps. Our needlewomen call them pompons. The color scheme can be very different. From banal plain yarn to extravagant colors. As a rule, the craftswomen buy the first packaging with caution, but the subsequent ones are chosen competently and with a clear idea of how they will use it.
What can be connected?
It should be noted right away that yarn from pompons is very demanding on the choice of model. You should not use it for knitting sweaters or vests, unless your size fluctuates between 36 and 42. Because of the pompoms, the volume of the finished product will visually seem larger, and therefore you will not look like a graceful gazelle in it. But for decoration, it is sometimes simply irreplaceable. Collars, cuffs or other trim details look great. You can also knit a scarf or stole. By carefully choosing the right color, you can create a stunning beauty masterpiece that will also be quite warm. Some use it to
knit blankets and bedspreads on sofas or chairs. It is obvious that this is almost perfect yarn for knitting children's models. Blouses, sweaters, sarafans and dresses, fluffy hats and scarves .... So who is not afraid of the extra couple of pounds that these threads add! In addition, kids really like fluffy pompons, and if you choose the melange option, then there will be no limits to children's delight. Again, not many threads are required for children's things, which means that if you tie a blouse, it will also remain on the hat ...
How to knit from this yarn
You should not tighten the fabric, but knit so that it falls from the knitting needles, too. The density of knitting should be medium or slightly weaker. For work, it is better to use knitting needles. In this case, the pompons will look more impressive. When crocheting, the thread twists harder, the pompons are “clamped” in the finished product, as a result of which the whole effect is lost. After you have finished work, you need to carefully pull them onto the front part. Try knitting the simplest product. And you will understand that yarn from pompons is a very convenient and easy to use material. Moreover, pompons distract attention from minor flaws, making it easy to hide minor flaws or inaccuracies.
