Information about our yarns: processing, fulling, etc.
Our yarns come from stock remnants from knitting mills, auctions, etc., which is why we can offer an exceptional product at very competitive prices.
Knitting mills normally work with yarns that need to be felted, and they felt them later, after the garment is finished. Therefore, all (or almost all) the yarns you find on our website need to be felted.
In the videos below, I will 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 can then work with already felted yarn. The second is to wash a 20x20 cm sample, 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 for years with any type of yarn always make a pre-production sample before moving to production, to avoid making errors in production. The sample is useful for many things: feeling the hand of the finished garment after washing the sample, calculating shrinkage, calculating consumption, calculating the measurements of the finished garment, and seeing how the stitch type turns out.
In this last video, I show you how the skeins should be made and I explain how to wash them. I won't show you a video of how to make a 20x20 cm sample because I assume you know how to do that. The washing process for the sample is the same as for the skeins.
