There are many types of threads, different textures and colors. The other difference between the wires is the price. High quality yarn have a higher price than synthetic yarns. Using the exact yarn called for in a general pattern, creates the best results, but there are times when you can pick a different thread than the pattern suggests. In doing so, you must choose a thread that is closest in weight to that recommended by the employer as possible. Selecting a thread that is similar in fiber will give a result that closely the pattern.

Threads are different in weight and thickness. There are two layers, three layers of four threads. Layering is the number of threads that are woven to form the final thickness and weight of the finished product yarn. When you purchase yarn from a particular project, you must buy exactly the amount you need at the moment, paying special attention to dye lot number found on the label of thread. If you just bought the thread by looking at the color rather than batch dyeing, there can be account of how the wires may look the same in the store, but have a slightly different nuance that becomes evident when the threads are later joined together while you are knitting your project. These subtle differences affect the results of your project, unless of course you are the deliberate choice of these shadows. If you do not buy all the threads you need at once, you may not find that the dye lot number later when you need it. It's a good idea to maintain the label of each skein of yarn until the project is finished weaving, as it contains not only information about lots of colors and color number, but also has washing instructions. In addition, there is often a pattern on the back that you may want to weave in the future.

Lightweight threads are better when knitting lace shawls, children's and baby clothes and thin socks or gloves of fine needle point. It is best to choose smooth washable wool or yarn treatment for these items. Medium weight yarn is most suitable for adult sweaters, socks and scarves and items that would remain more robust and wear mittens and gloves. Bulky Yarn or heavy are excellent for ski jackets and sweaters outdoors where you need a warmer, heavier fabric.

Wool – yarn that is spinning of the fleece of the sheep. Wool is very durable and wool sweaters from the heat supply of winter cold. Some people prefer wool for weaving quality the finished project. You must remember, however, that the wool has different textures and some will be rough texture while some will be soft. If you plan to use the wool skin, I recommend a thread as smooth as possible. Some people find the roughest wool will feel a little itchy. When cleaning some point wool, you must use only very mild soap and cold or warm water because the wool will shrink and mat.

Cotton – This thread is from plant fibers natural. Cotton is warm in winter and cool in summer. Cotton is easy to wash and wear and can be used for almost any garment you want to knit.
