Stock yarn - what is it?

Actively knitting women always have a need to purchase yarn. And naturally they want to get high-quality yarn for a small fee. After all, the appearance of their wonderful products is directly related to the properties of the fiber and its quality. The higher it is, the more beautiful the canvas turns out and the better the loops fit into the design.

But unfortunately, in specialized stores such goods cost quite a lot. And sometimes even the desired material can be difficult to acquire due to its seasonality. For example, the assortment of summer yarn is updated by sellers in the spring. And for slow knitters, in order to get something new for the summer, yarn should be purchased at the beginning of winter.

Purchasing stock yarn will help you cope with these tasks. Let's figure out what it is.

What is stock yarn

Most often, this category refers to high quality fiber produced by well-known manufacturers. Moreover not all yarn, but only that which, for some reason, was lying in a warehouse abroad. Products fall into this category based on several indicators.

• Balances that were not sold. Such yarn ends up in waste from store and factory warehouses.
• Items that have been discontinued.
• Unused material from branded clothing manufacturers.

The material is brought to our country in large reels that weigh a kilogram. But In many retail outlets that sell this assortment, it is possible to purchase the material by weight.

You should not think that if this product is lying in a warehouse, it means it is of poor quality or defective. This does not correspond to reality. Warehouses simply need to free up space from time to time to store fresher goods.

Reference! Often, stock reels do not look very attractive due to the fact that the cone is dented and the fiber is dusty. But this does not in any way affect its quality and tactile properties.

Advantages and disadvantages of stock yarn

Like any thing, this material has its positive and negative qualities. I propose to look into this issue in more detail.

Minuses

But along with the advantages, this product also has several negative qualities.

• Sometimes there are defects and broken threads in the drains. But unfortunately, such a defect also occurs in ordinary goods purchased in skeins.
• Inability to purchase additional yarn.

So such an acquisition will allow you to create wonderful clothes that will look no worse than products from famous designers.
