A rare girl will give up the chance to have clothes made of natural fur in her wardrobe. In this case, fur coats with a delicate pile may be small, I want something else special. The “knitted mink” technology has existed for a long time, but the exclusive and beautiful things that it makes it possible to make were for a long time accessible only to the elite.
This trend in the current fashionable winter season has stepped into wide circles, gaining well-deserved popularity. Today, women want their wardrobe to have both a fur boa and a knitted hat under a mink coat. Such products look very interesting: they have a fleecy, equally delicate texture inside and out. No fashionista will also give up the chance to get a manto made using this technology.
History
This knitting technique was invented by Paula Lishman, a Canadian designer. She made the first skein of yarn in her own hands back in the seventies of the XX century. Some said that there was nothing fundamentally new in its discovery, since Paco Rabanne, a designer and tireless experimenter, had time to present a collection of clothes with fragments of “knitted fur”. But Lishman confirmed her invention with a patent protecting her right to make knitted mink clothes.
She has developed a whole team of specialists who help bring her creative ideas to life. The creation of a short coat or one coat can result in forty hours of painstaking manual work. Simpler things, such as a fur vest or a mink knit hat with a pompom, take much less time. Demonstration of new collections of clothes from Paula Lishman is often held with an absolute full house. She works not only with mink fur. If we talk about her preferences, then the beaver will be in first place. The designer also pays attention to the fur of raccoon, skunk, fox, rabbit, realizing that any of them is good in its own way.
Knitted mink hats: production
To get a unique accessory, experts take not pieces, not whole skins, but strips of fur. They are imposed on yarn, due to which a fabric is obtained, where the wrong side is made of textile and the front part is made of fur. There is a second way, when a fur is sewn onto a knitted lining. Both options make it possible to make an interesting accessory. Such a knitted mink hat (it is quite possible to make it with one's own hands) does not allow the cold to pass and sits tightly on the head. Since little fur is used in the process of working, such products are inexpensive, especially if picking up not very valuable skins.
Often, a self-made knitted mink hat costs much more than a knitted mink hat . Choosing a similar product, pay attention to the fact that the strips of fur were fluffy and were not glued.

Washing a knitted mink hat
First you need to dry the hat on the balcony for two hours, then gently brush off the dust from it. Next, you need to take the wheat bran, place them in a small saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring all the time. If the bran is burnt, they need to be thrown out and new ones should be filled, as burnt fur will only ruin it.
So, the bran is ready. Now you can begin to clean the caps. To do this, lay it on a flat surface and sprinkle with hot bran. After 5 minutes, wipe the entire fur with your hand in the direction of the pile, and then against it. Next, comb the fur with a soft brush. Remove the hat to dry. After the fur dries, take regular talcum powder and apply it on the entire surface. When you rub it into the fur, do it carefully so as not to damage the material.
At the end, shake the mink hat well so that the talcum leaves and carefully comb the fur. As a result, wipe it with a dry sponge - this will give the necessary direction to the pile.
Despite the fact that in our country such material has become popular not so long ago, more and more fashionistas make their choice in his favor.
