Classification of Threads and Yarns by Use

Use

The use of threads and yarns can be divided into several categories based on our experience:

Sewing: For sewing clothing, accessories, and home textiles, cotton threads, polyester threads, or blends of these materials are often used. These threads are strong, easy to sew with, and provide sufficient durability.
Bobbin lace: Fine cotton or linen yarns are often used for bobbin lace. These yarns have the necessary fineness and stiffness to create detailed and delicate patterns.
Tatting lace: Fine yarns that are easy to manipulate and allow for intricate patterns are often chosen for tatting lace. Cotton is a classic material for tatting.
Crocheting and knitting: Various types of yarns are used for crocheting and knitting, including acrylic, wool, cotton, and blend yarns. The choice depends on the desired appearance, temperature properties, and wearing comfort.
Macramé: Strong and durable yarns, such as hemp or polyester cords, are often used for macramé and other knotting techniques. These yarns allow for the creation of sturdy and stable knots.
Other crafts: There are many other types of crafts, and each technique requires specific types of threads or yarns that correspond to the desired appearance and workability.

However, it is important to note that this is only a basic division for quick orientation. In practice, we enjoy experimenting and using materials that are not directly intended for a specific use to create unique and interesting results.
