knitting yarns
The difference between store knit yarn and home knit yarns?
I've noticed something with yarns. Has anyone else noticed how a knitted sweater from a clothing store will be made with nice, tight, smaller yarn, which is really smooth, but yarn you buy from a store to make a sweater is, even, if it's smaller, really, well, fuzzy and not tight.
Why is this and where could I get some more proffessional looking yarn?
Thanks!
It's both the yarn and the knitter. It's possible to knit tight fine gauge sweaters by hand, but it takes a lot of experience to get it perfectly even and it takes alot of patience because it would use really fine yarn and small needles. I've taken apart LOTS of department store sweaters for their yarn (it's really cheap at the Salvation Army) and have noticed that the yarn use is not made the same as yarnstore yarn. Commercial sweaters are made of lots of fine yarns and if they want a thicker garment but the same color, they just add a couple of strands, they aren't even plied together, they just smoothe out when knitted.
