About company

Specifications
Yarn "Children's novelty" is available in skeins of 50 g. The length of the thread is 200 meters. Buyers note that the yarn consists of a tight, but not tight weave of three threads, poorly divided into components, so that it does not delaminate during the knitting process. Products from this material, according to the manufacturer, are light, soft, voluminous, do not cause allergies, are easily washed and dry quickly.
However, according to reviews, Pekhorka children's novelty yarn does not quite match the declared parameters. With free knitting, the fabric is really soft, but the same wool blend makes the products much more tender. But even before such yarn, Children's News has an advantage - it is not prickly.
The color palette is quite extensive and has more than 30 shades. Here you can find both bright and pastel colors, as well as melange dyeing of the thread.
Composition
This yarn is synthetic. It contains 100% high volume acrylic. Due to this, it is hypoallergenic, holds its shape well, does not sit down during washing at high temperature. In addition, this guarantees the durability of the paint. Yarn "Pehorka children's novelty", according to reviews, does not fade and does not fade, maintaining its original colors even after prolonged use. This allows you to create bright products by combining threads of various colors.
Knitting
On the packaging, the manufacturer indicates not only the color and footage, but also the recommended tool number, in this case, it is knitting needles No. 3, as well as the number of loops and rows in one square decimeter.
However, according to the reviews of experienced needlewomen, the canvas made of yarn "Pekhorka is a children's novelty" turns out to be loose and not accurate on such knitting needles, the size of one loop is 4 * 4.5 mm. Therefore, they advise using knitting needles No. 2-2.5 or a hook 1.75-2.
The thread itself is quite voluminous, but thin, stretches a little, which facilitates knitting of complex patterns, but at the same time the finished product holds its shape and the shape of the pattern well, even if it is in 3D technique.
The yarn, thanks to its synthetic composition, easily glides over the knitting needle and hook, so knitting from it quickly and easily. Together with low cost, this material is ideal for beginner needlewomen.
However, according to numerous reviews, "Pecherka children's novelty" has a significant drawback - it creaks in all conditions: in a skein, in the process of knitting, in the finished product. Most washing conditioners cannot cope with creaking, so the process of wearing the product may not be very comfortable.
Care and maintenance
Caring for things made of such yarn is quite easy. Thanks to the synthetic composition, even stubborn stains from berries or tea are washed off from products, things quickly dry and do not deform. According to reviews, after washing "Pecherka children's novelty" practically does not roll up, which allows for a long time to maintain the original appearance of the thing. In the wet state, the canvas stretches slightly under its own weight, but after drying it easily takes its original shape.
