Gazzal yarn

The choice of yarn for knitting is not an easy task, because now there is a huge assortment of yarns, in which it is easy to get lost or stumble upon a low-quality product. To avoid problems, some needlewomen prefer to buy goods of a certain company, in which they are 100% sure, but in this case they are limited in the variety of materials.

You can choose a different tactic - just before buying threads, familiarize yourself with popular manufacturers and their products in order to know exactly which product is worth your attention. In this article, we propose to consider the features, assortment and palette of yarn shades from Gazzal.

Gazzal yarn is produced in Turkey - for more than 35 years the company has gathered a huge number of fans of its product. The company firmly holds on to the world market, because its products are of very high quality and reasonable cost. The range of threads of this brand is very large - there are both artificial and natural fibers, as well as a variety of materials for both hand and machine knitting. A large assortment of knitting balls attracts not only handicraft lovers, but also large companies that purchase Gazzal threads to create new clothing collections.

The peculiarity of the yarn from the Turkish company is that it is not completely synthetic - the maximum admixture of artificial materials is 85%... The yarn with a high percentage of raw materials of unnatural origin is very strong, does not wrinkle and retains its quality for a long time. Manufacturers always add natural additives to the composition so that the yarn is soft and pleasant to the touch, as well as adopts their properties.

Knitting threads made from natural materials have a higher cost, but at the same time they have more positive qualities. For example, balls of natural wool are softer, retain heat better and absorb moisture well, unlike materials with an admixture of acrylic or polyester. 100% cotton yarn is great for knitting summer and autumn-spring clothes, because it is breathable and highly hygroscopic. Depending on the material of manufacture, the weight of the skeins is from 25 to 100 grams, and the length of the threads is from 82 to 320 meters.

Most of the company's assortment has a standard weight of 50 grams, and the length of the thread can vary from 100 to 175 meters. The color palette of Gazzal yarns is very diverse - from bright and saturated shades to classic pastel colors. Separately, one more feature of the company can be noted - on the packaging or on the page of the online store, recommendations for the care of products knitted from the selected threads are always indicated... The manufacturer always indicates for the manufacture of which things the selected yarn is best suited.

The Turkish company produces 20 different types of knitting yarn, suitable for making a wide range of things. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the most popular threads from Gazzal.

• Happy feet... Special sock yarn with 25% polyamide and 75% superwash merino wool. The standard weight of a Happy Feet skein is 100 grams, the length of a skein is 330 meters. Gazzal sock yarns are multi-colored - this material makes funny striped socks.

• Giza... This thread series is suitable for people who love bright and unusual things. Giza gained its popularity due to its exquisite gloss, uniformity and smooth surface of the thread, as well as its high breathability and hygroscopicity. The composition of the material includes exclusively cotton, processed in a special way.

• Unicorn... Unusual yarn with a soft color transition, from which you can make winter clothes with an interesting striped pattern. The threads are made of 100% merino wool, but they do not have the characteristic pile surface due to the superwash treatment. The standard weight of a Unicorn skein is 100 grams and a ball length of 197 meters.

The number of shades of each series of threads may differ, because some of them have recently appeared on the market. For example, the recently launched Unicorn yarn is available in 20 different shades, while the popular Giza has a whopping 47 colors.

The color palette also differs depending on what material the knitting skein is made of. The Baby Alpaca Pure Color series of balls are made from alpaca and merino wool, so dyeing them in different bright colors is problematic. Nevertheless, this feature can become a chip, because nowadays natural colors are gaining more and more popularity.

The Baby Alpaca Pure Color range is made up of 8 animal-like colors. Another type of yarn containing a few shades is Pure Wool, composed of 100% wool and available in 13 different colors, among which there is an unusual light pink shade. Cotton thread is dyed and retains color much better than woolen, therefore the color palette of such yarn is much larger. The Giza Matte series is presented in 36 shades for almost every taste - there are both soft pastels and very rich bright shades. Baby Cotton has the largest selection of threads - here you will find 59 shades, differing in tone and saturation.

All Gazzal yarn series, made from pure wool or wool with impurities, are perfect for knitting winter clothes - sweaters, cardigans, scarves, hats and mittens. Among such threads, Giza stands out - a thread processed by the superwash method, suitable for creating demi-season clothes and light summer capes. Note that Super Kid Mohair woolen threads are not suitable for knitting hats and scarves - they are only used to create sweaters and cardigans.... Cotton skeins are great for knitting autumn-spring and summer clothes - dresses, pullovers, ponchos, berets and stoles.
