What does cashmilon look like and what can be knitted from it?
To create their work, modern knitters use a large number of different materials. One of them is cashmilon. This yarn looks beautiful and is suitable for creating various accessories and garments.
What it is?
Cashmilon is a quality polymer yarn produced in Japan. Acrylic fiber is used for its manufacture. This material is also known as nitrone or acrylon.
Products with a synthetic composition appeared on the market in the second half of the last century. The new material was of high quality, pleasant to the touch and surpassed natural yarn in many respects. Its only drawback was the difficulty in coloring. But it was also fixed very quickly. Over time, cashmilon began to be used to create clothing, home textiles and various accessories.
Now this material is quite popular. It is loved for its combination of low price and excellent quality.
Basic properties
Kashmilon has many advantages, which are noted by almost all needlewomen.
- Quality. The material is resistant to sunlight and retains brightness for a long time. These synthetic yarns fade much more slowly than natural yarns.
- High hygroscopicity. The material easily absorbs excess moisture. Products made from this yarn dry very quickly. Therefore, high-quality winter things are obtained from it.
- Softness. This yarn is very soft and pleasant to the touch. Products made from this material retain heat well. Therefore, cashmilon resembles natural wool in its characteristics to many.
- Easy to care for. Kashmilon clothes can be washed in a regular machine.There is no need to buy special detergents for them. The main thing is to properly dry the washed products. It is recommended to place them in a horizontal position in order to avoid loss of shape and stretching. If the thing needs to be ironed, it must be done from the wrong side. But such a need arises very rarely, because cashmilon products practically do not wrinkle.
- Hypoallergenic. Garments made from this material can be used by children, as well as people who have a tendency to allergies.
There are no significant disadvantages to this product. It should be remembered that this material, like other synthetic products, becomes covered with pellets after long-term use. In addition, due to the peculiarities of their structure, colored threads easily absorb fat. Therefore, it is important to ensure that cashmilon items do not get dirty, because after cleaning the threads, it will be very difficult to return them to their former "fluffiness".
Areas of use
High quality and very soft yarns are most often used to create various garments. Wearing things made of such material is a pleasure.
A big plus of such products is that they do not stretch even after long wear.
Cashmilon is used to create both women's and men's, as well as children's things. Using such colored yarn, it is easy to embody any creative idea into reality. Very often this material is combined with woolen or mohair threads.
It is also used to create various accessories for the home. Cashmilon products do not fade for a long time. Therefore, they can be safely placed in well-lit rooms. Even under the influence of direct sunlight, they will not lose their attractiveness for a long time. Knitted items also keep their shape perfectly. Therefore, various baskets, decorative covers for flower pots and cute rugs are woven from cashmilon.
In addition, very beautiful children's toys are obtained from this material. They are soft and fluffy. Such toys can be safely given even to the smallest children. Kids will definitely like them.
