Information about our yarns: processing, fulling, etc.
Our yarns come from stock leftovers from knitting mills, auctions, etc., which is why we can offer an exceptional product at very competitive prices.
Knitting mills normally process yarns for felting and then proceed with felting after the garment is finished. Therefore, all (or almost all) the yarns you find on our website are meant for felting.
In the videos below, I'll explain how to work with yarns on cones that need to be felted and how to felt them in your home washing machine.
N.B.: Felting, treating, or washing means the same thing. You may hear me use one or the other of these terms as I explain.
In this first video, I talk about our yarns:

In this second video, I talk about two ways to work with yarns on cones. The first is to make skeins and wash them so that you work with the already felted yarn, and the second is to wash a 20x20 cm sample and then do the final work and felt the finished garment using the same method as the sample:

In this third video, I recommend and explain the usefulness of always, in both cases, I repeat, always, making a sample before doing the final work. Knitting mills that have been working with all types of yarn for years always make a pre-production sample before moving on to production, to avoid making mistakes in production. The sample serves many purposes: to feel the hand of the finished garment after the sample has been washed, to calculate shrinkage, to calculate consumption, to calculate the measurements of the finished garment, and to see how the stitch type turns out.
In this last video, I show you how to make skeins and explain how to wash them. I won't show you a video on how to make a 20x20 cm sample because I assume you know how to do that. The washing procedure for the sample is the same as for the skeins.
