Using ribbon yarn in knitting clothes

Every person in the world has a hobby. Some women, as well as men, like to knit. Naturally, there are different types of threads, spokes and hooks, thanks to which you can create real masterpieces. However, not everyone knows that you can create beautiful things from ribbon yarn. It has a rather original appearance and is shaped, so it is difficult to call it a thread.

The presented yarn can have a different color or combine several shades. It has an unusual appearance - it is a flat braid, which can have a bright luster or be matte. The width of the ribbon yarn can be different, it varies in the range of 0.3-1 cm. Naturally, the raw material used to make it is also different. For example, produce a thread of viscose, cotton, polyester.

The presented material can be used to decorate ready-made clothes or create whole collections of things. The peculiarity of ribbon yarn is that it can be used only once, because after the dissolving of the thing, the appearance and functionality of the thread is irretrievably lost. However, its dignity is functionality, because it is also used for embroidery.

Products made from this yarn can be dense or light, airy. All depends on the chosen scheme of knitting. In order for the product to be lush, it is necessary to use a large number of broaches during work. If you do not know how to knit from ribbon yarn, do not get discouraged. In principle, there is nothing complicated. Just need to get on the needles the required number of loops, while you need to claw the upper, the thinnest thread. It should be noted that the use of patterns is limited, as you will not achieve a special drawing. It is better to use a simple purl or face, while trying to knit so that the product turned out to be voluminous.

With the help of ribbon yarn, you can decorate the sleeves or the bottom of the items, make out the bar of the sweater, make a scarf. In addition, you can tie yourself a very original jabot. Often in this way, gloves and dresses are made. A small shuttlecock can be attached even to the cap. Thanks to the versatility of this yarn, you can use not only knitting needles, but also a hook.

Scarfs made from ribbon yarn knit very easily and quickly. To work you will need no more than 150 grams of yarn. And this product will be very original and individual, especially if you use a multi-colored thread. Scarf should be taken with large knitting needles, for example, numbers 4-8. Before starting work, the yarn must be prepared, that is, it is necessary to unwind the thread accurately for a certain length and straighten it. Otherwise, it can be twisted, and it will be very inconvenient for you to work.

Next, we collect a small number of loops (8 pieces) and begin to slowly knit. We rotate the spoke so that the tape is behind it, and begin to type the second row. In this case, the previous loops need to be tied. Then the spoke again turns so that the tape lies in front of it. In the process of such an alternation of rows on the front side, you will get flounces, and on the purl - smooth surface. Good luck!
