• Sheep wool is a natural raw material that retains heat well;

• Alpaca - llama wool. It is an airy and velvety material that preserves shine throughout the entire period of use. Alpaca wool is not prone to rolling and jamming, hypoallergenic.

In addition to the above materials, use cotton, silk, linen and bamboo yarn. However, for the manufacture of interior products often use artificial materials because of their practicality and resistance to moths.

Synthetic materials:

• Microfiber is a wide range of artificial materials;
• Acrylic yarn has the lowest price, somewhat coarser than other synthetic materials.Often has a bright or light color, which is hard to achieve using natural raw materials.

For the manufacture of decorative pillows are usually used unusual threads to create various visual effects and textures:

• Pile yarn or “weed” is the result of twisting different types of yarn, one or several of which have a long pile. It is used to create the effect of artificial "fur" and "light haze". From the "weed" come out cute and amusing pillows;
• Plaid fiber - this name is due to threads that are unevenly colored in different colors, which, when knitted, create multicolored repeating waves;
• Large and fluffy yarn is characterized by a large volume of threads and a variety of colors. Products from this material have a slightly casual, informal look.

These are only the main options for yarn for the manufacture of decorative knitted products. A variety of materials, sizes and shapes are amazing.
