Every person in the world has a hobby. Some women, as well as men, love to knit. Naturally, there are different types of threads, knitting needles and hooks, thanks to which you can create real masterpieces. However, not everyone knows that you can create beautiful things from ribbon yarn. It has a rather original appearance and is shaped, so it is difficult to call it a thread.
Presented yarn can have a different color or combine several shades. It has an unusual appearance - it is a flat braid that can have a bright shine or be matte. The width of the ribbon yarn can be different, it ranges from 0.3-1 cm. Naturally, the source material used for its manufacture is also different. For example, such a thread is made from viscose, cotton, polyester.
The presented material can be used to finish finished clothes or create entire collections of things. The peculiarity of the ribbon yarn is that it can be used only once, since after opening the garment, the appearance and functionality of the thread is irretrievably lost. However, its advantage is functionality, because it is also used for embroidery.
Products made from this yarn can be dense or light, airy. It all depends on the chosen knitting pattern. In order for the product to be lush, it is necessary to use a large number of broaches during operation. If you do not know how to knit from ribbon yarn, do not be discouraged. In principle, there is nothing complicated. You just need to dial the required number of loops on the knitting needles, while it is necessary to hook the upper, thinnest thread with a knitting needle. It should be noted that the use of patterns is limited, since you will not achieve a special pattern. It is better to use a simple wrong side or facial surface, while trying to knit so that the product is voluminous.
With the help of ribbon yarn, you can decorate the sleeves or the bottom of the products, arrange the strip of the sweater, make a scarf. In addition, you can tie yourself a very original frill. Often gloves and dresses are made out in this way. A small shuttlecock can even be attached to the cap. Thanks to the versatility of such yarn, you can use not only knitting needles, but also a hook.
Ribbon yarn scarves knit very easily and quickly. For work you will need no more than 150 grams of yarn. Moreover, such a product will turn out to be very original and individual, especially if you use a multi-colored thread. The scarf should be taken with large enough knitting needles, for example, numbers 4-8. Before starting work, the yarn must be prepared, that is, you should carefully unwind the thread to a certain length and straighten it. Otherwise, it may twist, and it will be very inconvenient for you to work.
Next, we collect a small number of loops (8 pieces) and begin to slowly knit. We turn the knitting needle so that the tape is behind it, and begin to dial the second row. In this case, the previous loops need to be knit. Next, the needle turns again so that the ribbon lies in front of it. In the process of alternating rows on the front side, you will get shuttlecocks, and on the wrong side - a smooth surface. Good luck
