  • 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.

After years that yarn didn’t turn out as I had hoped.

He goes every year, and I’ve grown accustomed to not hearing a peep out of him as he takes in all that the show has to offer. But this year, I got a text. It was a photo of a man dressed like Batman. There was no accompanying explanation. I have no personal con- nection with Batman, so I wasn’t sure why he’d sent it to me, but then I looked more closely at the photo. The man was wearing an entirely crocheted costume! So I put the photo up on Yarn Market News’s Facebook page. (For those who saw it: yes, I pretended for the sake of a FB post that I took the photo myself.) I thought it was such a fantastic costume, and hoped I’d get some likes. Responses started rolling in, faster than I usually get on Facebook posts. A few people thought it gave crocheters a bad name.

I am always eager to hear what our speakers have to say, after having worked so hard to find them and to ensure their messages will resonate with the audience. Our first speaker, life coach Tracy Williams, focused on visualization. Her session asked attendees to make a clear commitment and decision for themselves and their businesses and to be bold about it. She says that unless you take the time to visualize success, you will not be able to achieve it. That message really resonated with me, and with the other attendees as well. Do you have a crystal-clear vision for the future of your business? Do you understand all that will go into achieving the goals you’ve set? That’s what Yarn Market News hopes to be for all of its readers: a resource for your success.

  • Fibre to Fabric
    MODULE - 1 Fibre and Fabric Home Science in Daily Life 10 Notes FIBRE TO FABRIC You know that fibres are what fabrics are made of. Just look at the fabric of the dress you are wearing. It is made of the thread prepared from small fibres. Just pull out a thread from a piece of fabric and open it up by untwisting. You will see those small fibres. You do know that there are a large number of fibres available to us and from which a variety of fabrics are made. This is why in any cloth shop you find such a variety of fabrics on the shelves of cloth shops in the market. In this lesson we want you to get all the knowledge and acquire skills needed to recognize the fabric you want to buy by associating it with its specific properties and assessing its suitability to specific uses. You are familiar with the variety of uses various fabrics have in our daily life. The study of fibres and fabrics gives us the complete knowledge of properties and uses of various fabrics available in the market. This knowledge will help us to choose wisely the fabric we require and make the best use of it after purchase. OBJECTIVES After studying this lesson, you will be able to : • discuss the functions of clothing and other household uses of fabrics; • explain that the basic unit of a fabric is fibre which can be obtained from many sources; • state typical characteristics of different fabrics; • identify fibres and fabrics on the basis of visual examination and non technical tests; • elaborate the process of yarn making and fabric construction; • differentiate fabrics made from different yarns and tell their end uses; • select fabrics for personal and household use.
