Factory yarn, yarn count conversion method when aligned

Hello

I'm staff member Shima.

It's been very cold since yesterday.

I had been treasure hunting all day to buy some yarn.

I slept soundly last night, not even woken by the wind blowing through the window.

It looks like it's going to snow in the Kanto area starting tomorrow, so please be careful where you step.

Those who can stay at home can knit, those who can't can put it in a bag.

I hope I can get through the day without getting hurt!!

Today I will show you how to change the thread count when you are pulling together a yarn.

Let me introduce it to you.

That being said, we would like to introduce some recommended sites to you!

The blog written by someone at Maruyasu Knitting is very easy to understand.

[How to calculate knitting yarn count (hair count/cotton count) and appropriate gauge]

For example, what size needle would be best to use when pulling together all the threads in the photo below?

Let's say you thought:

Yarn used:

・2/26 Four MIX

・1/13 Kid Mohair

・1/15 Marilyn

I used the information at the bottom to convert into denier for reference.

・2/26 Four MIX = 1/13=9000÷13 =692 denier

・1/13 Kid Mohair = 9000÷13=692 denier

・1/15 Marilyn =9000÷15=600 denier

692 + 692 + 600 = 1982 denier

9000÷1982=4.54

This means it is 1/4.5-5th.

Here is a look at the numbers based on the blog I posted a while ago.

When applied, 1/4.5 thread count will result in medium-fine and ultra-fine threads as shown below.

Then, check again below to see which size needle would be appropriate.

[Guideline for knitting needle sizes]

It's numbers 1 to 3.

First, knit with size 2, which is the middle size, and refer to the way the stitches are tightly knitted.

Adjust the size by going up or down.

This time I was thinking of knitting socks and a vest, so

The knitted fabric at the bottom is initially size 1 (2.5 mm), and the knitted fabric at the top is size 6 (4.0 mm).

I finally settled on this. (I felt that No. 1 was a little too dense, so I thought it would be better to increase it by one more size to make the most of the characteristics of the mohair!)

The right size is important, but what you want to knit and how tight the knitting is also important.

Therefore, I think the numbers will be completely different.

I hope this will be helpful.

The end!
