How to Choose Yarn
In most cases, the yarn is selected by color, thickness and length of the thread, but you should pay attention to the quality of the yarn and its composition, it depends on whether it will be easy to work with this yarn, how long the product will be worn, or if it will lose its color and shape related thing. To choose the yarn that best meets the requirements, knowledge of the properties of the fibers that make up the yarn will help. The fiber composition of the yarn is always indicated on the labels as a percentage. For summer clothes, it is better to use cotton, linen, silk fibers and viscose. For warm clothes - wool and acrylic.
The designation on the label 100g / 200m indicates that for 100 g of yarn the length of the thread is 200 m. The larger the meter per 100 grams, the thinner is the thread. In order to roughly navigate the thickness of the yarn, you need to know that thick yarn is less than 120m / 100g, average thickness is from 120 to 300m / 100g, and thin - more than 300m / 100g. But keep in mind that the weight of the yarn depends not only on its thickness, but also on the composition. The thickness of the yarn from light fiber, for example, fluff, will be greater than from heavier - coarse wool.
To ensure the optimal presentation of the product and calculate the cost of knitting one product on the label of yarn for knitting, the number of loops vertically and horizontally per 10 cm of knitted fabric is indicated. Next to the knitting density or directly in the square indicating the knitting density, indicate the number of needles or hook in millimeters that are recommended for knitting.
