(inspiring music) Chapter 2 - Natural Fibers Yarn overview - We're gonna talk about how yarn is made. This is a piece of fiber and yarn is made from lots of different fibers and it's the same whether it's a plant fiber or a protein fiber like wool.

This is how yarn is made. - This is called a single.

  • Australian Yarn Weights - Ply & Wraps Per Inch Yarn Is the Most Important Component of Knitting
    Australian Yarn Weights - Ply & Wraps Per Inch Yarn is the most important component of knitting. The qualities of the yarn affect the final product, no matter how experienced of a knitter you are. Of these qualities, yarn weight has the biggest impact, making it vital that knitters understand it when selecting the right yarn for a project. We go into the details below, but we also put this info into an awesome infographic! What Does Yarn Weight Mean? Yarn weight can be pretty confusing, especially if you’re just starting out on your knitting journey. At first glance, you might think that yarn weight is about how much a ball or skein weighs in ounces or grams on a scale. Nope! Yarn weight refers to the thickness of the yarn. It ranges from yarn as thin as sewing thread to yarn thicker than your arm. Some yarn weights are best suited for lace knitting, while others are used for sweaters or rugs. The success of your knitting project depends on selecting the right yarn weight. Understanding Yarns Yarns are made from fibers – plant, animal, mineral, cellulose, and plastic. The fiber composition affects how the yarn knits (such as elasticity and slipperiness) and how your final project appears. Fibers can be combined to create yarn, such as 50% silk and 50% linen, allowing the yarn to inherit qualities from each type of fiber used. How the fibers are processed and spun impacts the final yarn weight. Yarn Structure When fiber strands are twisted together, yarn is created. This process of twisting fibers is known as spinning.

  • A Method for Yarns Calculation in Sock Production
    E3S Web of Conferences 179, 02111 (2020) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202017902111 EWRE 2020 A Method for Yarns Calculation in Sock production Yan Zhang 1*, Xiaomin Ji1*, Zhu Gao2 and Xupeng Wang3 1Mechanical design, Xi’an University of Technology, Xi’an, 710048, China 2Industrial design, Shanghai University of Engineering and Technology, Shanghai, 201620, China 3Industrial design, Xi’an University of Technology, Xi’an, 710048, China Abstract. In socks production, enterprises always confuse how to estimate the quantity of the yarns rapidly and correctly for different kinds of socks. It results in the socks' costs cannot be calculated in time. This paper aims at the calculation method of yarn used in the socks based on their pattern files and development of the corresponding software so that the quantity of yarns consumption can be calculated timely before the sock production. The composition of sock was introduced and the pattern file for sock production was analysed firstly. Then a concept of Thousand Stitches Weight(TSW) was proposed and the TSWs were determined for some yarns with different knitting structures. On this basis, a process was proposed for the calculation of yarn expending in a sock with different knitting structures before production. Finally, a software was developed to get the results fast and easily. The example shows that the calculation method proposed in this paper is reliable and valuable for hosiery enterprises. software to calculate the unit cost of the products that are 1 Introduction manufactured by small weaving enterprises[10]. Peng, Jiajia et al. proposed a technique calculation process in In the textile industry, it is increasingly important to garment and built an evaluation system to show the merits estimate the material consumption and production cost for of production cost and yarn consumption[11].

  • Chapter 1 Get Set!
    05_139875 ch01.qxp 8/31/07 7:41 PM Page 3 ChapterChapter 1 get set! ow that you have this book, you’re ready to learn how to knit, but do you have everything else Nyou need to start knitting? You need yarn, needles, and a few little tools to begin with. After you’ve been knitting for a while, you’ll naturally accumulate more yarn——LOTS more yarn, if you love knitting—— plus more needles and accessories, so don’t buy too much at first. What kind of yarn should you get? And what size and type of needles do you want? This chapter tells you all you need to know to make the right choices. it’s all about yarn One of the most fun parts of knitting is choosing yarn. You may feel overwhelmed when you set out to buy yarn for your first project. Knitting yarns come in so many fibers, weights, textures, and colors that it can be confusing. Take a deep breath, read on, and you’ll get a better idea of what to look for. natural fibers Natural fibers come from animals and plants. Wool, alpaca, mohair, cashmere, and angora are spun from animal fibers, and they’re really warm to wear——and fun to knit with. Certain wools, like Shetland wool, can be scratchy; some, like merino, are nice and soft. Be sure to hold a ball of yarn against your skin to see if you would want to wear something made out of it. It would be a bummer to spend weeks knitting a scarf that is too itchy to wear.
