Undyed Yarn For Crafts Or Knitting

By Chasity Sheppard


Undyed yarn is a great tool for knitters and crafters because it allows you to be creative while customizing the fibers you use for your project. This is because the color-free yarn is practically a blank canvas, ready for you to choose a color to match your individual needs. It's a fun way to get exactly what you want without sacrificing quality.

There are some good, everyday yarns that are just waiting to be dyed for your use. These come in a variety of different names, including Everyday, Basic, Superwash, and more. No matter what name they go under, these skeins are great for making clothes and other items that will get heavy, everyday use because they are very strong and made from durable materials. Some of these are natural fibers, while others are man-made.

Wool is another popular everyday material that easily takes whatever color you may want to use on it. It is prized by knitters because it is thick, which allows it to keep you warm should you decide to make a sweater out of it. It is also good for socks or gloves, since these body parts get particularly cold in winter.

Alpaca is another type of material that literally comes from the shaved fur of an alpaca animal. It can be divided into two different types--regular and baby alpaca. Each one is very soft, with an almost silky feel that considered to be a luxury material. It takes dye very well, so buying it undyed allows you to make any color you like.

Speaking of silk, this highly-prized natural fiber is another great type of yarn that people love because of its softness and feel. It can be bought in its natural form and dyed later, though it looks great natural as well. Silk comes in several thicknesses, allowing you to choose which one is right for your project. It's especially popular for making clothing since it feels so great and luxurious against the skin.

Some yarns are not made from a single material, but combine materials instead in order to make a stronger or softer fiber. For example, silk and wool may be spun together to make a blended skein that is both silky and durable for everyday use. Wool on its own is tough for everyday projects, but some people want a softer touch to the material, which is where the silk comes in.

After choosing one of these uncolored fibers, you can then get into the fun of dying them. While many knitters like to dye the yarns on their own at home, it is perfectly fine to have a professional dye them. You can choose one solid color, or combine colors to make a new one. You can also use multiple colors on the same skein for a rainbow or ombre effect that makes really attractive blankets and throws.

No matter what you want to use it for, undyed yarn is a great way to make a customized craft item. You can use them to knit sweaters or other clothing, which makes a great gift. These gifts show the recipient that you care enough to take time out to make them a present, creating lasting memories.
