{"product_id":"velvet","title":"Velvet","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVELVET brings soft, dimensional texture to knitting\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith VELVET by Lang Yarns, the surface of your knitting becomes a design feature in its own right. This yarn combines a fine, stable nylon core with a silky halo of viscose. Once knitted, the fibres create a soft, velvety fabric with a faux-fur appearance. Individual stitches recede into the fluffy surface, leaving a rich and cohesive texture that can give even a simply constructed design greater depth and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe distinctive character of VELVET comes from its composition of 51% viscose and 49% nylon. Viscose provides the silky fluff and soft handle, while the fine nylon core supports the yarn’s construction. If you plan to use it for a collar or another detail worn close to the neck, knit a small swatch first and place it directly against your skin. This gives you a reliable way to assess the texture according to your own sensitivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCreate distinctive faux-fur details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVELVET is particularly effective when used as a carefully placed accent. Add it to the cuffs of a sweater or cardigan, define a collar, or frame a hood with a soft faux-fur finish. Even a relatively small textured section can change the overall character of a familiar pattern. You can also knit the yarn on its own when you want a fully velvety surface in which the individual stitches blend into the halo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother option is to carry VELVET alongside a second yarn. Used as a companion strand, it adds visual fullness, softness and depth while allowing you to build on the structure of your selected design. Always make a swatch using the exact yarn combination planned for the project. Adding another strand may alter the gauge, handle and final appearance, so testing it in advance helps you make informed adjustments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoose stitches that suit the surface\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe main strength of VELVET is its continuous, fur-like texture rather than sharply defined individual stitches. Fine cables, delicate lace or small textured motifs may become less visible beneath its silky fluff. Simple stitches and clear shapes allow the velvety effect to take centre stage. This makes the yarn a thoughtful way to refresh a trusted pattern through texture alone, without relying on a complicated stitch arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the spring and summer season, VELVET provides 170 metres in each 50-gram ball. The recommended needle size is 3.5 to 4 mm. The stated tension is 23 stitches and 35 rows over 10 cm. Your own tension may differ, so check your swatch before beginning a garment, a precisely fitted trim or any project in which VELVET is held together with another yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVELVET yarn details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 51% viscose, 49% nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 170 m per 50 g\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended needles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.5 to 4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTension over 10 cm:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23 stitches and 35 rows\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e spring and summer\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e use detergent for fine wash without softener\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare for the velvety finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA carefully made project deserves suitable care. Follow the guidance for VELVET by using a detergent intended for fine wash and leaving out fabric softener. Your gauge swatch can also serve as a useful care test before you treat the complete project. It lets you observe how the fluffy surface responds and gives you an opportunity to check the finished measurements again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVELVET contains no animal fibre; its faux-fur effect comes entirely from the combination of viscose and nylon. The value of a thoughtfully selected yarn can be seen in the finished result: a collar gains visual presence, a hood receives a soft frame, and a simple cuff becomes an intentional feature. Choose VELVET for a focused accent or a completely velvety fabric, and let its distinctive texture shape your next knitting project.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lang Yarns","offers":[{"title":"0001 Blanc","offer_id":53639578583387,"sku":"1181.0001","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0004 Noir","offer_id":53639578616155,"sku":"1181.0004","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0009 Rose","offer_id":53639578648923,"sku":"1181.0009","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0013 Jaune Clair","offer_id":53639578681691,"sku":"1181.0013","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0015 Cuivre","offer_id":53639578714459,"sku":"1181.0015","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0016 Vert Clair","offer_id":53639578747227,"sku":"1181.0016","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0021 Bleu Clair","offer_id":53639578779995,"sku":"1181.0021","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0024 Gris","offer_id":53639578812763,"sku":"1181.0024","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0025 Navy","offer_id":53639578845531,"sku":"1181.0025","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0026 Beige","offer_id":53639578878299,"sku":"1181.0026","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0030 Orange Saumon","offer_id":53639578911067,"sku":"1181.0030","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0045 Mauve","offer_id":53639578943835,"sku":"1181.0045","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0047 Lavende","offer_id":53639578976603,"sku":"1181.0047","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0061 Carmin","offer_id":53639579009371,"sku":"1181.0061","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0062 Vineux","offer_id":53639579042139,"sku":"1181.0062","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0068 Marron Foncé","offer_id":53639579074907,"sku":"1181.0068","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0074 Atlantique","offer_id":53639579107675,"sku":"1181.0074","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0078 Turquise Clair","offer_id":53639579140443,"sku":"1181.0078","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0088 Océan","offer_id":53639579173211,"sku":"1181.0088","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0091 Vert Pastel","offer_id":53639579205979,"sku":"1181.0091","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0096 Marron Clair","offer_id":53639579238747,"sku":"1181.0096","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0097 Olive Clair","offer_id":53639579271515,"sku":"1181.0097","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"0099 Vert Cocodrile","offer_id":53639579304283,"sku":"1181.0099","price":11.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/5171\/9003\/files\/1181_0001_LANGYARNS_Velvet_3_Print.jpg?v=1786415545","url":"https:\/\/torsades-wools.com\/products\/velvet","provider":"Torsades","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
