Knitting Yarn Carpets

Knitted yarn carpet is a non-trivial solution for decorating your home. It will easily fit into any interior, the main thing is to choose the right color range, size and shape. With it, you can favorably emphasize and revitalize any thematic area in your room. And such a rug can be made with your own hands.

To create such a carpet, knitting yarn of the ribbon type is used, which is also called fantasy. Its composition is 100% cotton. That is, it is natural, which means it will not cause allergies.

Factory material is made in this way:

• with the help of special equipment, the knitted fabric is cut into strips having a width of 2.5 cm;
• then they are stretched and wrapped;
• then twist into skeins.

The thickness of this product varies within 1 cm.It all depends on the type of fabric used. Of course, for a carpet it is better to use a thicker material.

Knitted yarn has a lot of names in use: T-yarn, “noodles”, “lace”, “serpentine”, “spaghetti”, “ribbon”. The color spectrum is also wide: from pastels to bright colors.

This type of textile is distinguished by such qualities:

• thanks to its extensibility, the thread in the product will retain its shape for many years;
• twisted into a tube, it has strength and elasticity;
• hypoallergenic;
• at high humidity knitwear can be compressed.

To do this, use any unnecessary knitwear (shirts, sweaters, T-shirts). They are cut into strips so that they are as long as possible. Width choose themselves. Next, they need to stretch, so that the edges are wrapped and turned out to be bundles..

You can play with color. If your things are not the same shade that you would like, just paint the stripes in the desired tone. DIY yarn is a very good option. It will not only save you from unnecessary rubbish in a wardrobe, but also save you money.

There are several options through which you can get such a carpet product. And they will all differ in design:

Using knitted yarn, hook or knitting needles, unbelievable masterpieces are created. It is better to use factory material, since strips made by yourself will have to be tied and there will be knots in a skein. There are many different patterns of knitting such rugs, but here is a universal one that is suitable for novice needlewomen:

1. Tie a chain of 16 air loops, then knit it with 1-row crochet. Lock into the ring, connecting the last loop with the first;
2. Start 2 rows with 2 loops. Crochet all double crochets. At the end of the row is a connecting loop;
3. 3 row: 2 lifting loops. Make crochets in and between loops. This will increase their number;
4. 4th row: again double crochets, but not into the loop itself, but beyond the upper threads;
5. Alternating in such a way, finish up to the desired size. Do not forget to add periodic loops. You can use a yarn of one color, then your rug will turn out monophonic, or combine different colors, alternating them.

On the basis of tensioning threads or pieces of cloth.

You can use sinteponovye balls, stitching them together. Then the product will turn out volume, or fabric braids.

Our own yarn is applicable here:

1. From 3 tapes weave a braid;
2. We twist it in a spiral. When 1 spit is over, we make 2, 3 and so on until the end of the product;
3. We sew all the turns of our carpet with a regular thread;
4. If you want your product to be rectangular in shape, to do this, prepare several braids of equal length, spread out parallel to each other and also sew with a regular thread.

Shreds of fabric are sewn together in a single canvas.

If, nevertheless, you decided to make your floor product using knitting, the most common technique, consider the following points:

• Choose a thick yarn so that your product is tight and keeps its shape;
• Best for knitting are not knitting needles, and a hook. His choice should be taken seriously. The size of the hook should match the thickness of the thread, do not take too thin. It is better to use the tool starting from # 10. Also, it should be easy and convenient, the best option is plastic. And pay attention to the head;
• To prevent the product from deforming, add loops in time. But if you overdo it with their number - mating can go in waves. No problem. Just make a couple drops. Conversely, if the form began to narrow - you have a shortfall. It is necessary to make an addition.

This does not require much effort. Such carpets can be machine washed with a delicate spin. Dry horizontally and steam after drying to maintain shape.

Knitted rug is an indispensable thing in every home. It is warm, pleasant to the touch. Handmade, it will add love and softness to the interior. This accessory is very convenient for children. After all, they love to play on the floor, and such a carpet is easy to move due to its compactness.
