Secrets of choosing material
Outerwear made from thick yarn is ideal for the cold autumn season in dry weather. Cardigans made of thin knitted fabric are more suitable for the beginning of autumn, at the height of the Indian summer. They are available in short or medium length.
The choice of yarn depends on what season the item will be worn. If this:
- autumn-winter period, give preference to merino wool, mohair, angora. Bulky yarn will envelop you in warmth and become the basis for spectacular patterns: braids, elastic bands, aranas;
- spring-summer period, choose thin acrylic, cotton, viscose. The material will keep you cool and protect you from the wind. Thin fibers are the basis for beautiful openwork patterns.
Trendy models are warm cardigans with a relief pattern. These qualities are imparted by thick threads of mohair, merino, and angora.
When choosing outerwear, it is necessary to take into account the composition of the fabric and give preference to natural fibers. The label must indicate that the product is made from 100% wool. Choose a fabric that is soft and uniform to the touch. Outerwear made from synthetic materials is cheaper, but quickly loses its shape and color. Also pay attention to the quality of seams and buttonholes. They should be without protruding threads.
