In the house of each needlewoman, a box must be kept, and sometimes not one, in which all kinds of glomeruli and old threads are waiting patiently. It seems that you can not connect anything from them, but you still do not feel like throwing it away! We propose to use the leftovers and turn them into a plaid plaid from pompoms!
How many threads do you need?
Everything depends on the expected size of the rug. On an average version measuring 140 by 80 centimeters you will need about one kilogram of yarn. But this is a very rough estimate. Much depends on the quality of the threads, on their thickness and, consequently, on the distance of each skein. The technology of making a rug is very specific, so the main emphasis is on the length of the thread, and not on the weight of the yarn.
Of no small importance is the purpose for which this product is intended. If for adults, then any yarn will do. But if a plaid of pompoms is made for a gift to a child, it is better to use acrylic. It does not cause allergies and is very light, besides it is easily erased. Many will argue that it is easier to buy a fleece blanket. Of course, it's easier! But after all we do not set a task simply to buy a rug. We want to make it with our own hands, and even with minimal costs.
Manufacturing technology
How to make a plaid of pompoms with your own hands? The procedure is quite laborious and will require perseverance. First you need to find a frame. If you conceived a product of a large size, you should knock down the frame of the desired size. It should be somewhat larger than the finished product. Then determine what pom-poms you will do. If small, then on the perimeter of the frame you need to fill nails with a distance of 2 cm, and if larger, then 4 or 5. These nails need to pull the warp threads. They can be white or dark. The main thing is to differ from the color of pompoms. The warp threads are stretched so that a net is formed on the frame. Each grid cell on one side must be formed by 20 or 25 threads. Then, yarns of colored yarn are pulled in the same way. They must be at least 50 on each side of the cell.
Tightly pulling all the threads, very carefully and accurately, tightly tighten and tie knots in the corners of the cell. This will be the middle of the pompoms. Therefore, if you tie loosely, when using a rug, the threads will simply come out, the pompons will look untidy. In the middle of the side of each cell, we cut the threads of colored yarn without touching the warp threads. We get a grid from the base, on which the fluffy lumps are uniformly located. Well, that's all, a plaid of pompoms is ready! It's not as difficult as it seemed, is it?
Carpet of pom-poms
It can be done according to the technology described above. He needs thicker threads. Quality and color depend on your preferences. However, if you are planning such a rug in the bathroom , then it should absorb water well and dry quickly. And for a corridor or a bedroom, a woolen warm and fluffy specimen will do. When manufacturing, fill nails much further, for example, with an interval of at least 8 or even 10 centimeters. The larger the pompons, the more spectacular the finished product looks! You will definitely enjoy the result, and the home will be pleased with a new mat and a vacant place in the closet!
