Yarn

After giving the students a copy of the book Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett, they are going to read the first five pages of the story for themselves. Sounding out the words they do not understand and asking for help if they need it. As they read the passage they are going to write down all the single syllable words they come across. Once the students have completed doing this they will group the words into the list based on the vowel sound. All the ones with long vowel sounds go in one list while…

specific piece is a yarn wrapped ceramic and is a fairly large size. The sculpture itself is of a cartoonish dog, and the yarn wrapped around the ceramic base is of many different colors and in many different organic patterns and directions. The main function is most likely to be visually interesting and entertaining to look at, as it doesn’t really have a specific use. The piece is freestanding and is supported by its own base. This sculpture…

fibers to yarn. When farmers deliver the cotton fibers to the factory, workers who are receiving the cotton separate the fibers. The fibers are then fluffed and cleaned so they can be assembled and made to strands of yarn. After that, the workers align the fibers in parallel strands and remove the undesirable, short or defected fibers. Then, a certain…

micronaire, high length uniformity and better color grade than in stripper harvesting cotton. Stripper harvested cotton fibers have increased shorter fibers than picker harvested cotton fibers. So the yarn that is manufactured from picker harvested cotton have higher quality (less hairiness) than the yarn that are formed from stripper harvested cotton. Trash contains more moisture. So stripper-harvested cotton have greater potential for fiber degradation than the picker harvested cotton. In…

Knitters are always looking for great yarn to add to their stash. That’s what Ohio native Robin Richey was doing when she happened upon a mobile yarn store at a local fiber festival. The yarn truck selling colorful fibers was all the inspiration Robin needed. She was hooked. “A yarn shop on wheels, how cool is that?” Robin excitedly told her husband. She had toyed with the idea of having a traditional brick and mortar shop, but wasn’t too thrilled about the overhead costs of maintaining it. “I…

more yarn than japan since 1884 to 1914. For example in the year 1884 in Japan (both hand-spun and machine-spun yarn) they produced only 5 million pounds of yarn. But in Indian combining both hand-spun yarn and machine-spun yarn combined is 301 million pounds. That's 60 times more than the japanese produced. Also there are some key differences on how quickly the countries adapted to using machines to spin yarn. In documents 8 and 10 it shows the type of way the countries are producing yarn…

my project I decided to learn the very basics of knitting. I planned on learning how to cast on and off, learning the differences between yarn types and needle sizes, and learning a few stitching and knitting methods. The first thing I did was some research on knitting. I…

created relies on the quantity of gaps on the spinneret, the size and the state of the gaps. The liquid nylon as expelled from the spinneret sets and structures fibers as presented to the air. Extruder turning is by and large utilized for heavier yarns. The nylon chips stream by gravity into a gadget that compels them by screw activity through the warmed zones. The consolidated activity of warmth and screw weight liquefies the chips.…

From the beginning of time I've been a lover of books. My mom taught me to read before I started Kindergarten so that once I did begin, I'd have a head start and I thank her for that to this day. Literature has always been one of my favorite subjects and I remember poring over books on a daily basis, books that took me through time, the past, the future and some even the present time. When I became an adult and had my own kids, one of the things I did was also teach them to read at an early age.…

in Knitting When I was about nine years old my grandmother, Barbara handed me a craft kit that would change my life. This kit came with a book, a pair of knitting needles, and a ball of hideous multi-colored yarn. After a few weeks of clumsily trying to figure out how to knit, I took the yarn and needles to my grandmother Beth who always had a knitting project on her needles . I didn’t know it at the time, but taking the kit to my grandmother and learning how to knit would change my life…
