Choosing Yarn for Knitting for Kids

Often, moms and grandmothers have a question: how to choose the right yarn for knitting children's things? After all, for children, especially very young, it is important that things are gentle, soft, do not irritate the skin. And, although knitted blouses, panties and hats do not dress directly on the naked body, nevertheless, they must have these qualities. Knitting of children's things, thus, puts before masters additional task.

Fortunately, now there is a very large selection of yarn. Some manufacturers create exactly "children's" articles, for example, Baby Acrylic Baby or Baby print by VITA. It is a very soft acrylic yarn, bright "children's" colors. From it it is good to knit not only clothes for kids, but also children's rugs, pillows, soft toys.

If the thing should be warmer, it is better to make a choice of NAKO Bambino yarn, which contains 25% of wool. Its bright colors are perfect for children's clothing. Wide range of colors allows you to create beautiful, bright, sets, for example, such as a blouse and cap, blouse and panties, blouse, cap and booties. Here you can play on the contrast of colors: bright pink and tender pink, turquoise and white, ultra-light green and bright yellow, yellow and orange, etc.

If you need to bind a thing for a child, completely eliminating acrylic, it is best to choose German yarn Microfibre or its analog of sectional dyeing Microfibre print (manufactured by MAGIC). The microfiber thread, invented by the Japanese, is extremely soft, soft, well air-permeable and hypoallergenic. From her knit things even to infants. But it should be borne in mind that products made of microfiber can not be steamed off with an iron, otherwise the thread will lose its "breathing" properties.

A wide choice of yarns allows you to create things using combinations of two related types of yarn, for example, monochrome and sectional dyeing. Manufacturers have ensured that the shades of a single-colored version of the yarn are combined with shades of the same name, but sectional dyeing. This makes it possible, for example, to tie a variegated blouse, and the finish (collar, cuffs, strap of a fastener, etc.) to perform the same yarn, but a one-color version, choosing one of the colors present in the sectional gamut of the main part of the product.
