The choice of yarn is a responsible matter. It depends on the type of finished product. Yarn must meet many requirements: be comfortable to wear and easy to care for. It should also be convenient to work with it: a thread constantly slipping off the knitting needles, tangled fibers - this can ruin more than one evening for a craftswoman. Russian-made yarn is presented in stores very widely. Semyonovskaya yarn "Lydia" is one of the wide range of products of the Moscow wool-spinning factory. This is an inexpensive alternative to Turkish and Italian knitting threads.

Types of Semenov yarn "Lydia"

This brand is produced in skeins of different lengths: Semenovskaya yarn "Lydia" 1613 m (100 g) and "Lydia Quattro" 400 m (100 g). Naturally, quattro threads are four times thicker than those presented in the classic line. Thin threads give a wide scope for imagination, because it can be knitted in one or several threads, combining the thickness even in one product. Also this brand is presented asmixed (50% acrylic and 50% wool), and completely woolen yarn. Pure wool skeins will be 30 percent more expensive to build. You need to choose yarn based on your own sensitivity to the composition and on the type of product you are creating.

Palette

When choosing the color of Semyonovskaya yarn "Lydia", you are involuntarily amazed at the number of colors and shades. On the manufacturer's website for the line "Quadro" there are 43, and for pure wool and mixed with acrylic Semenov yarn "Lydia" 69 shades. These are both bright colors, and natural and pastel shades. All colors work well together.

This is a very wide selection of tones. At the same time, the colors of the corresponding numbers of the semi-woolen "Lydia" and "Lydia Quattro" are the same, which allows you to combine and replace them if necessary.

Good for

Semenovskaya yarn "Lydia" is suitable for lovers of hand and machine knitting. The small thickness of the thread allows you to create thin things. At the same time, when adding the yarn several times, it is possible to achieve bulk knitting. Products at the same time differ from those connected by one thread of such a thickness. Not only the front surface looks very beautiful and voluminous, but also patterns, arana, jacquard, made in this way. By combining a different number of folds for one piece, you can strengthen the heel of the toe, collar and cuffs of the pullover.

Things for children knitted from this thread will be warm, soft. And for knitting things for adults, this yarn is also suitable. Pullovers, dresses, vests- these plans can be implemented with the help of these threads. This yarn is also suitable for crocheting, although for these purposes it would be better to purchase Quattro thread - it is slightly twisted, this will facilitate knitting, the hook will not cling to individual threads. An interesting idea is to use Lydia yarn as a companion thread for another type of yarn. A wide range of colors helps to match tone to tone. Embroidery lovers will be interested to know that this thread can be embroidered with a cross. To date, there are many schemes for embroidery with woolen or semi-woolen threads on the market for embroidery kits. The villi present in the yarn are intertwined with the villi of neighboring crosses. The result is a slightly blurry, watercolor-like, very warm image.

Flaws

Disadvantages of Semyonovskaya Lydia yarn are due to its composition. In woolen yarn, the fibers are coarse (in this it is inferior to Italian yarns) and can prick the skin. It is necessary to take care of pure wool products very carefully: only hand wash, dry in a straightened form on a horizontal surface. Yarn with acrylic does not have a completely natural composition, it can creak unpleasantly both when knitting and when worn. Unfortunately, the bright colors of these threads are not as persistent as pastels. Products of saturated color will color the water for a long time. If you do not follow the instructions for caring for such things, they will fade, stretch, the pattern will not be voluminous, things will be deformed.

Dignity

Products knitted from completely woolen threads are very warm, hygroscopic. Wool- material that will warm, even if it gets wet. Yarn with the addition of acrylic does not shrink when washed. Products are warm, but not as prickly as pure wool. Yarn with acrylic is shiny, bright, elastic. Products with acrylic are not subject to severe deformation, even after several washes, they retain plasticity and volume of the pattern. A significant plus will be the price per skein - here the Russian manufacturer is much more attractive compared to foreign competitors. In the manufacture of thin products, the consumption of yarn will be extremely economical - no more than two skeins will go per shawl. In this case, the product will be weightless and delicate.

The density of knitting can be adjusted not only by adding the thread, but also by selecting the diameter of the knitting needles. The larger the number to take, the more loose the canvas will be. The quality of the yarn also manifests itself in the quality of knitting: in the uniformity of the loops, that is, the thickness of the thread is the same along the entire length. It should be noted the availability and always the availability of any quantity of this yarn in stores.
