The yarns
For the sweater workmanship many yarn types can be used, from the flax to the cotton, from the silk to the wool.
The vegetable fibers
The first yarns to be used were those consequential from the vegetable fibers as the flax cultivated by the Egyptians since the V millennium to.C. and drawn by the maceration of the fibers of the homonym plant; the cotton that was already introduced in Sicily in the IX century and spread for the rest of Europe toward 1300; the silk drawn by the filament of the cocoon of the silkworm, whose workmanship was already practised in 2600 China to.C. around.
The natural fibers
The spinning of the wool developed him instead after that of the vegetable fibers and they was the Assyrian ones and the Babylonians to discover the art of the workmanship of the wool that quickly spread in the whole west.
After the year Thousand were Italy to distinguish for the production of the wool, above all for the products coming from Florence.
During the Middle Ages the commerce of the wool represented the most profitable sector of the English economy.
From halves Four hundred the king of England decided that the market of the wool had to unwind in an only city and to such purpose Calais you/he/she was named, situated on the French coasts of the channel of the Sleeve.
The supremacy of the English merchants lasted up to when it imposed him on the market her "Company of the Merchants Avventurieri" that it commercialized fabrics gotten by English wool, but worked in the Low Countries and in the Flanders thanks to the diffusion of the mechanical loom.
Today in commerce there are various yarns types that can be gotten by the weaving of natural fibers, animals or vegetable or chemical, artificial and synthetic.
Suggestions
It needs to choose the yarn in base to the type of job that is wanted to perform, preferring wools of good quality and that they have on the label the same number of bath that it usually places side by side the number of color.
If the purchased wool is in skeins it needs to possibly unravel her/it with an arcolaio, otherwise you/he/she can be used us the backs of two chairs put one against the other.
To work without getting tired himself/herself/themselves is necessary to sit on a chair with rigid back and without arms, to work in a well illuminated place and to sometimes make a break minding however not to leave the iron to half to avoid that, to the resumption, the sweaters result irregular.
Profit is to have to course of hand a block notebook on which to bring increases him, the diminutions and the intersections done so that to always know from how stings to take back.
Not less main point is to often measure the head always supporting him/it on a plan without throwing him/it neither in horizontal neither in vertical.
