The technique of knitting with fur was invented by the Canadiandesigner of clothes Pola Lishman. She in the middle of the last century demonstrated on the podium the products associated with rabbit fur, which conquered the whole world. Knitting from fur is a simple and original way of creating warm, fluffy and light things. As the basis for the manufacture of fur yarn is used by almost any fur, a rabbit, a mink, a fox, a beaver and even a sheepskin are fine, although the thread turns out to be coarse. From fur "yarn" knit everything - jackets, coats, vests, dresses and skirts, as well as bedspreads, hats, gloves, bags and many other things that can come to the mind of restless craftswomen. Fur yarn is used to create models leading designers of the world. Of course, for exclusive models only high-quality first-class fur is suitable. But in the home creativity, knitting from fur is great to get out of fur flaps, as well as from fur that was in use.
Paul Lishman his products knitted from twistedfur thread, so they turned out to be two-sided, especially warm and cozy. There are several ways to get a fur twisted thread. At home, for this purpose is suitable for a spinning wheel with a spindle or household electric drill. The whole plate with strong masdra is cut into thin strips to the full length. Fur flaps are pre-sewn into a single fabric, which is duplicated with a thin hot-melt knitted fabric or cloth.
The cut thin threads are sewn together andare curled into a tangle. Then, measure 60-80 cm of fur strip, the edge of it is fixed with a paper clip on a flat board, the leather base of the strip is slightly wetted with water, and with a drill working at low speed, the fur band is twisted into a spiral, stretched slightly and fixed with a paper clip. The next part of the strip is then measured and the process repeated. Thus, the whole coil is twisted into a spiral. The leather base is dried, the fur is carefully combed, and the finished thread is again twisted into a ball for further knitting of the product.
In a different way, the fur threadis made with the help of a skeleton cotton warp thread, on which a fur strip is wound. For work, a drill or a conventional spinning wheel is also suitable (although skills are required to work on it). The ends of the individual already twisted yarns are connected together, a long string for knitting is gathered and twisted into a tangle.
For knitting at home it is quite possibleuse and one-sided thread. This is much simpler, and the product is not less attractive. The fur plate is simply cut into thin strips, which are slightly stretched, join together and twist into a tangle. Then from this thread knit in any way, but it is better of course, knitting from the fur is obtained on thick knitting needles with the usual facial and purl loops.
There is another way to creategorgeous knitting with fur bands. It's not so much knitting as embroidery on a knitted mesh. This method is very simple and original. Currently, it is widely used in the production of fur "cloth" in Europe. On the pattern of the product, the crochet is first crocheted from the crocheted stitches and the air loop between them. After the part is ready, fur strips with a width of 5-6 mm are drawn into the mesh cells. The finished product is fluffed with a brush, straightening the villi. This method is well suited for thicker coarse fur, for example sheepskin.
Finally, create great products fromFur ribbons can be made using weaving. Narrow fur strips are connected to the canvas by usual linen weaving, when each strip passes, then under, then over the next strip. With this method, it is not necessary to connect the fur bands to a long thread. In addition, the material consumption will be much less.
Ways to create amazing things with furfinishing or knitted entirely from fur "yarn" a lot. Everything depends on the imagination of the master and the chosen model, as well as the thickness and quality of the fur. Knitting from fur is another amazing kind of needlework, with which you can create exclusive items yourself.
