With the onset of spring, I wanted more bright colors in my wardrobe. Since I love red very much, I decided to knit myself an openwork scarf. Our city is small, there are few shops for needlewomen, and, unfortunately, there is practically no yarn of the right shade at that moment. For the first time I bought threads for hand knitting from the Moscow factory Lotos Kamteks 100% acrylic. ADVERTISING • BETWEEN EXCHANGE The cost of a 100 gram skein is 75 rubles, the length of the thread is 300 meters per 100 grams. Like any acrylic yarn is very soft. In terms of tactile sensations and in work, it resembles not very high-quality synthetics of the early 90s, which we sold in such huge skeins in local markets, and then we rewound it with difficulty into balls. In those days, it was problematic with clothes, so I tried to knit something fashionable for myself, and I became addicted to knitting. Half a skein of yarn was enough for me to make such a scarf (length 170 cm), if desired, of course, it can be made wider, but I liked it more. In my opinion, this yarn is suitable for finishing or knitting openwork things, but for tight knitting, you need to choose something else. I can’t say anything about other types of Camtex yarn, I didn’t work with them, but after Lotus I don’t really want to. Moreover, for the money, other manufacturers have much better options.
