Women's knitted clothes

Knitting is the production of fabrics and fabrics from threads of yarn. As a craft, it has been known since the era of Ancient Egypt. The first products appeared in Europe in the XII century. Then the heyday of needlework began, and at first it was a male occupation. Knitted stockings for women were the first to appear, and mass-produced knitted clothes began to be produced from the moment the first machines appeared in the 16th century.

Crocheted women's clothing, due to its exclusivity, enjoyed greater success than those made on the loom. Europe was captivated by lace, which craftswomen learned to knit, replacing them with expensive Brussels lace, available only to the nobility.

From that moment began the victorious procession of the art of knitting. High fashion has adopted this way of creating beautiful and stylish things since the 60s of the last century, when thousands of knitting patterns appeared, and forms and types of yarn reached a rare variety.

Among the threads of natural origin, there are:

• Traditional wool and alpaca. From thick yarn obtained from sheep's wool, products are knitted for the cold season. Among the various types, there are both coarser and soft and elastic. Australian merino wool is especially highly valued. Sheep feed on lush green grass almost all year round, acquiring a beautiful woolen cover.The quality of the whole yarn directly depends on the number of fibers in the thread. The pile for the coarser alpaca is obtained from the wool of the llamas.

• Mohair and cashmere. This word refers to yarn obtained from the long and soft wool of high mountain goats. Mohair is characterized by mixtures with various types of natural fibers, the maximum percentage of this yarn in relation to others is 83%, otherwise the product will be too soft and simply fall apart into separate parts. Cashmere fibers are even more expensive, as they are obtained by combing the wool of Tibetan goats. The villi can stretch even under their own weight, so the percentage of such fibers in clothes does not exceed 30%.

• Angora. Rabbit hair is the basis for production. Delicate fluffs can make up to 70% of the composition; very delicate and pleasant to the touch things are obtained from the yarn.

• Cotton and linen. Cotton threads are obtained from the fibers on the stems of cotton bushes. More durable mercerized cotton is used for the production of colored products, it has a beautiful sheen. Knitted linen clothing is heavier and tends to wrinkle, but it is very hygroscopic, in spring and summer it is convenient and comfortable.

• Silk. The threads are "produced" by the Chinese silkworm caterpillar. Legendary yarn is added to viscose, the finest threads are contained in the composition in an amount of no more than 10%.

• Mink. This is the name of the yarn obtained from goat down, silk and white mink down. The fibers are extremely delicate, the yarn is suitable for knitting elegant pullovers with openwork elements.

Artificial fibers are called fibers that are close to natural. These include acetate and viscose. Viscose is softer and more delicate than acetate. Both types of yarn are pleasant and silky to the touch, absorb moisture well, almost do not electrify.

Synthetic threads are polyamide, acrylic, pan and other fibers with metal. They are obtained on the basis of capron and nylon, products of natural gas distillation. Over time, polyamide tends to coarsen, turn yellow under the influence of the sun. Polyacryl is more resistant to impacts, which allows knitwear to retain its unchanged shape well. Lurex and threads made of metal foil and polyethylene film add elegance to knitted clothes, give a shine effect, making it unusual.

Knitwear is translated from French as "knitwear". The peculiarity of the execution is knitting loops one after another, row after row. Convenience and comfort when wearing knitwear has long been appreciated by many fashionistas. A warm cardigan and sweater, a cozy and soft jacket or sweatshirt can be a great choice for any woman. The most popular were knitted dresses, boleros and jackets, comfortable vests of various lengths for the cold season.

Knitwear pleases with elasticity and extensibility, it is pleasant to the touch and easily takes the shape of the body. This material is able to pass air well, it "breathes", so many models are knitted from it from outerwear to elegant underwear. Especially often knitwear is combined with elastane to increase extensibility. Cotton, silk and wool fibers and yarn are used. Warm woolen garments, made in coarse knit, “with braids”, remain on the catwalks for several seasons in a row as being in demand and fashionable.

When buying, you need to pay attention, first of all, to the quality of knitwear.Despite the useful properties of acrylic and other synthetic threads that do not allow knitwear to lose shape, it is advisable not to wear products in which the percentage of artificial fibers is higher than 20%. In a quality item, natural woolen and cotton threads should prevail.

Another important point when choosing is the quality of the seams. The condition of the seams is examined by turning the thing inside out. A double stitch is used, and in the best knitwear, the seams are additionally reinforced with textile tape. There should also be no puffs or loops on the front side.

Needless to say, the fitting immediately gives a low-quality product. How the decor is sewn and fixed on knitwear, whether the snakes work, whether the buttons enter the loops correctly when fastened - all these subtleties are important. Examine yourself in the mirror carefully - if the knitting has stretched too much in some places. Elastic knitwear quickly returns to its original position when stretched. The type of knitted fabric you need will “sit down” on the figure, the stomach and other protruding parts of the body will not be too tight.

Knitwear for women is a modern and exclusive clothing that allows fashionistas to look mysterious. Interesting and unusual clothes allow ladies of all ages to shine at a party and a gala event. Beautiful knitted clothes are also suitable for the office, meeting the requirements of business fashion.

It is important for adult women to look elegant, and for girls, stylists have prepared a real gift in the form of airy handmade crocheted dresses. This season, top designers have taken knitwear seriously and showcased brilliant collections full of novelties.Fashion from the catwalks is reflected in haute couture products, the author's idea has received a worthy embodiment in real models of knitted clothes. What designers offer this autumn-winter season:

The following trends are in fashion: large knitting, appliqué and patterns, geometry and ethnic motifs, Christmas sweaters with deers. For spring models, prints on a floral theme have become widespread. Innovators paid a lot of attention to the layered effect created by knitted clothing. The oversized style has also not lost its relevance, a little baggy things emphasize the fragility of the female figure. Knitted items are decorated with beads, stones, leather and feathers, inserts from other materials.

By purchasing a product, I want to increase its useful life, to maintain the original appearance for a long time. Knitwear requires attention, as it can quickly lose its attractive shape and become unnecessarily stretched if not properly washed and dried.

Wash knitted clothes, if such a need arises and you cannot hand over the product for cleaning, you need to manually. In no case is it recommended to wring out in the machine, even if the label says that machine washing is allowed (at a temperature not exceeding 30 ° C). Spinning is allowed only minimally and also manually through a towel, after which the knitted wool product is laid out on a flat surface to dry. Proper care will avoid deformation and stretching of things. Drying, knitted clothes and knitwear do not require ironing, which will further increase the period of use.

Knitwear should be stored in a closet, clean and dry. It is advisable to fold them, and then wrap them in natural fabric or paper, then close them in a plastic bag. These rules are relevant for wool, which is hunted by the main enemy - the ubiquitous moth. Put sachets with the smell of lavender, geranium, dry orange peels in the closet for preventive purposes.
