At the end of the programme we will have the traditional master - class
Today it is dedicating to the texture variety of modern yarn.
Like an example we are going to use only one colour – white
And you will see how different it can be.
White colour is perfect in its cleanness and irreproachability. It is the symbol of holiday,
openness and virginity. Light as snow,
elusive as clouds, habitual as milk and waiting for creativity as a clean sheet of paper.
“ You will appear in something white in the doorway without any oddities. In some materials from which flocks are sewn.”
Boris Pasternak introduced his beloved woman in white clothes not accidently
This colour symbolizes soul purity.
It puts our mind into carefree youth, simplicity and virginity.
Also this colour correlates with spirituality, charges by energy and clean.
Exactly that’s why white clothes with enviable constancy stays the most fashionable.
There is nothing new when you proposed white colour like the basic colour of the season.
Yes, white colour is not original one! But it’s immortal classic!
It incarnates freshness and updating.
Fashion for white is romantic minimalism.
Fashion accents were changed. Now not bright colours of clothes
take our attention, but its cut,
exquisite details and richness of texture.
The advantages of this color are that you can even
put white clothes on from head to foot but still
you will look elegant and refined.
White clothes, especially in a big city, ennobles you.
Any woman looks like a filmstar in white clothes.
Love or not love for white colour says a lot about a person.
If we respect white colour, it informs about our self – confidence,
and uncompromising.
Indeed, in a white dress there is glaring impracticality.
A shade of eccentricity, but very civilized and idealistic.
Besides this colour is useful for our psyche.
Because it calms down and relaxes.
Generally white colour influences on our nervous system beneficially and even it is able to mute the noise and smells.
White colour is the synthesis of all colours. It’s the colour of dream.
It has the polysemantic sense.
As this colour transfers
both bright of light and ice cold. There is no more changeable color than white,
that turns into yellow under the electrical light,
darkens in twilight and reflects everything that is near.
Possibilities of white colour are limitless.
Different yarn textures, combinations of original patterns and techniques
realize the most bold design ideas.
Extravagance and elegance, young enthusiasm and dignified appearance.
There is everything in our white knitting collection.
Clothes of sand colour on the Cayman Islands,
Cappuccino foam or moonlight - that's what beautiful names
invented for white colour. The range of white shades is huge.
These are champagne, ecru, cream and snowy colours. Vanilla ice cream,
white star or white asparagus, a transparent cloud
and pastel parchment. Another is this antique whiteness, bluish white, frosty,
icy, foggy, white lily, ivory, green-white slice of pear.

Different textures of materials of white colour give interesting tonal nuances.
White fur and silk look completely differently.

of gallant centuries, models of our designer Victoriya Shepeleva will not leave you indifferent.
Lacy bows on the lacy-breeches, puff sleeves,
a lot of frills, ruffles, fringes. A woman in white clothes from Victoria is mysterious, moving and thrilling so helpless.
In my creative work I like to use elements of classics.
Speaking about white collection, I would like to give another life to classical clothes.
And also I would like to show women that there is nothing dreadful in new silhouettes,
unusual combinations, because it's always original and fresh.

She is a distinctive designer with adorable taste and delicate of fashion perception.
Childish and seductiveness is a distinctive mixture of Nabokov’s Lolita and Pippi Longstocking.

I like white colour very much because white
is , first of all, a sense of purity and celebration.
That’s why we created collection in white.
These are suits, coats and cardigans. I put emphasis on various dresses.
It’s collection for youth and as youth tend to experiment, I added
all possible accessories. Hats, for instance, field cap with the decor of gold
Is so called “military” but completely peaceful.
A variety of belts, also with gold and silver ...
And leg warmers : leg warmers are quite unusual accessory
by means of which you can change your style.
If this is a classical dress, leg warmers give unusual sport notes.

showing how different can be white mood.
And now the promised master class in texture yarn.
If you thought that yarn could be thick or thin, smooth and fluffy,
would get ready to be surprised. I have been already surprised.
Alla, do you have your favourite type of yarn?
As every person I have it in accordance with my mood,
love and attitude to yarn.
Most of all I love the cotton
The real discovery is one novelty, it’s bamboo yarn.
This yarn is really unique with the addition of wool or cotton.
It keeps warm in cold, cool in heat and on the benefits it’s better than pure cotton many times.
There is a lot of different viscose yarn on sale.
Clean viscose or with cotton.
Smooth, slightly crunchy, with play of colours it suits wonderfully for summer clothes.
There is band yarn with viscose, it looks wonderfully in elongated loops.
And it’s suitable in work. Also viscose looks beautifully with silk.
It’s better to use it in two threads.
It’s quite hard and that’s why holds the shape well.
Here is my favourite cotton:
A big variety of producers give us quite great choice in accordance with range of colours,
shape of thread twisting and thickness.
Beginning with the thinnest and until the thickest.
Here is for the cord braiding.
Also there exists cotton with Lurex addition.
Also harder that hold the shape very well.
And thicker that can be used as crocheting and as knitting.
There is a combination of cotton with the acrylic thread.
And now we are coming for more interesting thing.
After seeing I am not even trying to keep my fantasy.
It will be a matter of variety of polyester and polyamide yarn that has the modern market.
I never imagined that yarn can be in the shape of snowflakes, ice particles, lumps of fluff, and even real beads.
Here are very beautiful band threads.
ОThey look great on extended loops in summer products.
The great choice of acrylic yarn that is used for baby clothes or people with problem skin.
Varies in thickness, texture it is incredibly soft to the touch.
Soft, equally good in crocheting and knitting.
Here's a sample volume, composed in six threads of yarn, with the addition of viscose acrylic becomes especially shine.
In this basket we have collected more than fluffy and bulky yarn.
This one, for example, such boucles soft. If it ties with two threads, it will be strong and thick enough.
Can be used for knitting coats and jackets.
This is almost the same, but slightly different in density packing yarn and colour.
Simulate so called “grass" very soft. Look wonderfully in children's products.
This yarn is more like suede: very volume and soft.
And most importantly that it is thick and products are knitted very quickly of it.
For example, we use a large crochet and you can try…
As you can see, one row is ready for several seconds.
Perhaps the perfect yarn is for lazy and impatient.
Alla, and here's an interesting sample you did, tell us did you use only one yarn in it?
Or it’s the combination of two yarn?
Not, it is used one yarn in this sample.
But its unique yarn in which
a long piece of so called plush texture is going at full length
and then jump into such light grass.
And these pieces of thread of different texture take turns among each other at full length of the clew.
Here is the original fleecy yarn with glitter.
It is especially beautiful in openwork, flowers knitting. It suits to smart clothes.
Here is the same thread but with addition of small variegated flowers.
It’s perfect variant for children products.
There is a wish to talk about separately stretch yarn.
It can be with addition of cotton (on the cotton basis).
It holds the shape well.
It’s a good variant for beginners because it hires all defects of work.
Here are variants of stretch yarn with wool addition.
It is also soft, springy and well at work.
For tight-fitting clothes.
The finishing touch is always important at work.
yarn with long and thin fibers can be as a finishing agent.
Or with shorter fluff but harder.
And this put my mind into swan's down.
Incredibly soft, it is good as the main yarn, and as a finishing one.
There exists yarn, imitating fur as well.
Use of gold and silver in the decoration of white clothes will be very successful.
Such a thread literally burns on a white background.
You can knit individual elements, cords or duplicate them a white thread.
Alla shows unusual novelty yarn with different textured patches.
Here is yarn imitating Christmas tree tinsel.
Thin coil band will be suitable for lacing and tape.
In order to give our products a finished look,
we can use gold or silver ribbon with paillettes.
Individual paillettes.
Different types of yarn and beads.
If you additionally use leather, you can paint it by gold or silver spangles.
and also decorate with volume contours.
And one more a piece of advice: longevity of your finished product
depends on compliance with producer’s recommendations on the yarn label.
When you are going to knit a model you like, decide for yourself:
whether this product daily or festive?
It will help you to choose the right type of yarn.
