We knit a vest from Furlana. Master Class

For a long time I was staring at the yarn of the Turkish manufacturer Furlan (FURLANA) from Alize. But somehow I did not dare to buy ... I never liked "grass" and similar fluffy strings imitating fur. And then, well, just fear sunk into my soul, so I wanted a fluffy vest :) What was my surprise when, right before the holiday on February 14, I received a very generous parcel as a gift, which included 5 cherished skeins of the desired Furlana!

For several days I walked around the strings, groaned and gasped, but did not dare to knit, because there were no suitable knitting needles ... The manufacturer recommends knitting with knitting needles No. 8-12 mm, and in my house the thickest needles turned out to be No. 6, with which I once knitted a coat made of thick YarnArt Merino Bulky yarn. But, as they say, the poet's soul could not stand it, decided to knit with a six :) And you know, it seemed to work out well, but I think with larger knitting needles, the thread consumption would probably be less ... In my case, exactly 5 hanks were spent on the vest! Well, just exactly, there are only 3 cm of thread left, I have not yet had such an accurate hit :)

A little about yarn:
Composition: 45% wool, 45% acrylic, 10% polyamide
Weight: 100g
Length of thread in a skein: 40 m

I used color No. 203 jeans melange (5 skeins), knitting needles No. 6 (knitted very freely), quite a bit of time ... and now, I am demonstrating the result!

I will share with you a description of my knitting (for size 36), which is just outrageously simple

I scored 56 loops and knitted in a straight line (without decrements and additions) with garter stitch (all front rows) to the armholes. I got 49 cm.

Left shelf = 13 stitches

1 row - 13 knit stitches

2 row - edge, 2 together front, 9 front loops, edge

3 row - 12 knit loops

4 row - edging, 2 together with the front, 8 loops with the front, edging

Back = 26 loops.

1 row - edge, 2 together with the front, 20 loops with the front, 2 together with the front, edge

2 row - 24 loops with the front

3 row - edge, 2 together with the front, 18 loops with the front, 2 together with the front, edge

Right shelf = 13 stitches

1 row - edge, 2 together front, 9 front loops, edge

2 row - 12 knit loops

3 row - edging, 2 together with the front, 8 loops with the front, edging

In total, we have learned:

Shelves - 11 loops each, back - 22 loops.

To put it clearly, this is such a construction ...

From the side of the armholes on the shoulder cuts, close 7 loops each. As a result, we get 4 loops on the shelves, and 8 loops on the back.

We collect these loops on the knitting needles, while adding 3 loops in the shoulder jumpers = 22 loops (collar)... Look at my technical drawing, although it is a curve, it may become clearer to you :)

We knit garter stitch up to the required collar height and close the loops.

That's it, the vest is ready, you just have to wait for the warm days :)

True, I did not have enough belt ... I put on 100 loops and tied 2 rows with garter stitch ... and the belt is ready! And in order not to lose it, I crocheted chains of 4 air loops on the shelves at the same height and neatly fixed them on the seamy side.

That's all, ready for the fall!

Have a nice day and great mood!

Fur has always been popular because fur products are beautiful, tactile, practical and warm. Fur can be natural or artificial, depending on the beliefs of its owner or on his financial capabilities.

An interesting idea is yarn imitating fur. It is a thread with a long pile sewn to it.

When knitting, a fluffy fur fabric is formed. The pile can be long or short, dense or sparse. The texture of the knitted fabric also changes.

The palette of colors is very wide - from natural shades typical of animal fur, to obviously artificial, bright, challenging tones. For every taste.

The composition of such yarn is mainly synthetic - polyester, polyamide. But some samples have wool in their composition.

In general, the yarn imitating fur can be divided into three types:

First, the so-called "weed". The name, in general, speaks for itself. The knitted fabric is a fluffy "lawn" of thin silky threads, quite long, such that they sway when moving, play.

Secondly, yarn that resembles faux fur or plush. The length, thickness and density of the pile may vary.

Third, a yarn that tends to mimic natural animal fur. It can resemble the fur of a mink, rabbit, lynx and other animals. Often this yarn is called "Rabbit (rabbit)", "Lyns (lynx)", "Mink (mink)".

What to choose is a matter of taste. The choice is very significant.

Probably, at different times, each of the manufacturers produced yarn imitating fur. Someone refused this venture, someone, on the contrary, offers new samples. So, a wonderful collection of models from yarn - faux fur in the fall-winter 2016-2017 season was presented by the Spanish manufacturer Katia.

We have collected a small selection of yarn samples.

What and how to knit from yarn imitating fur

Such yarn is knitted quite quickly and easily. Almost all models made of yarn imitating fur are recommended by designers even for beginners for execution. No patterns will be visible on it. Front stitch, purl stitch, garter stitch - everything you need. As with any other fancy yarn, the rule applies to yarn imitating fur - the simpler the better. All attention is focused on the yarn, it dominates. Therefore, it is especially necessary to think over the style. But that's the whole beauty of fancy yarn, that the simplest model knitted from it, thanks to its interesting structure, will look unusual and beautiful. Or you can experiment and enhance the effect of the special yarn with the originality of the style.

This yarn is successfully combined with the classic one. At the same time, both one and the other can act only as a decoration, or they can be equal companions. For example, yarn imitating fur can serve as a trim for a collar, a hood, it can be used to make cuffs of a jacket, a hat, trim the edges of a scarf or poncho, while the whole product will be knitted from classic yarn. And, conversely, in a product made of imitation fur yarn, from classic yarn there can be separate parts - straps, cuffs, patch pockets. The combination of stripes of yarn imitating fur and classic yarn looks interesting. In this case, the stripes can be either the same width or different.

What can be knitted from fur imitation yarn? Anything where fur is appropriate. These are clothes, hats, scarves, slippers, bags, interior items and, of course, toys.

The consumption of such yarn, in general, is comparable to ordinary yarn, since a loose fabric is knitted from it on large knitting needles (up to 12 mm in diameter), but everything is individual and depends on the yarn itself: it can be 10 m or 150 m in 100 g, both from the density of knitting and from the model: a hat will obviously need less yarn than a fur coat. For example, for a size 46 vest, you will need about 5 skeins of Alize Furlana (Turkey) 40 m / 100 g.

We offer a selection of models using yarn imitating fur from the manufacturers of this yarn.
