Knitted fur coat

Speaking of a fur coat, it is usually meant exclusively a fur product made from animal skins: rabbit, lamb, raccoon, mink, sable. Fur coats from fur can look different, but, for the most part, it is still quite traditional. Designer's idea knows no boundaries, and now on the catwalks appear ... knitted fur coats, quickly gaining recognition and representing outerwearmade by manufacturing from one or more threads using various weaving techniques.

• Originality of appearance - in a correctly selected knitted fur coat you will be different from others, attracting pleasant attention to yourself.
• A variety of models and styles - it takes more time to create a knitted product than a sewn one, however, due to its texture and a large number of seams, a fur fabric imposes restrictions on the range of models.
• Product lightness - in most cases, no matter what yarn your fur coat is knitted, it will still weigh less than a fur coat made from fur skins.
• Elasticity and ductility - an integral feature of any knitted fabric.
• Cost - fur costs more than any yarn, even fur, especially since in the latter case the thread can be made from scraps of skins. This does not mean at all about the use of low-quality raw materials, just when cutting skins even of elite quality, sometimes significant pieces remain that are used either to create fur coats from pieces of fur or to make fur yarn, which as a result affects the reduction in the cost of the finished product.

• The possibility of self-manufacturing - If to sew a fur coat at home is quite problematic, then knitting it from finished yarn is probably not very easy, but very interesting.In addition, in this case, you get the original product by individual standards.
• Practicality - a fur coat sewn from fur panels, sometimes even with a rather careful attitude to it, can be irreparably damaged due to objective circumstances. Knitted knitwear, including fur, has a heterogeneous structure, as a result of which it is not so prone to deformation.
• Increased Seasonality - if in a fur coat made of fur fabric you will look rather strange already in spring, then in special cases you can easily put on a knitted fur coat-cloak even on a cool summer evening, which will only emphasize your sophistication and elegance.
• Versatility - of course, a blackglama or sable fur coat is a status and prestigious thing, but wearing it with jeans, in most cases, is not comme il faut. But a knitted fur coat, properly selected style and from suitable yarn, can be worn with jeans, and with skirts, and with an evening dress.

According to the manufacturing method:

• Fully connected.
• Combined (knitted fabric in combination with a whole or composed of separate paintings, for example, a fur coat with knitted sleeves).

By type of yarn:

• Textile yarn - can be made of artificial fibers (boucle, grass), and natural (mohair, wool, alpaca). As a rule, this is the so-called textured yarn that imitates various types of fur with a high or low pile and created for the manufacture of products manually, independently. The most well-known varieties are Plume Bergere de France (France), Furlana Alize (Turkey), Lion Brand Fun Fur (USA), Katia Estepa (Spain), Mondial Savana (Italy).
• Fur yarn - it is used both finished and, if desired, can be made independently. Patented back in the mid-70s by Canadian designer Paula Lishman, the technique for making such yarn initially assumed the use of beaver skins of large size, each of which was cut in a spiral into a long continuous thread, which was then twisted. To create the canvas, this thread was imposed on a pre-prepared cotton mesh base. Subsequently, the process of manufacturing fur yarn was improved and modernized, in particular, in our time, whole skins and fur trimmings of various types of fur are used. The number of various knitting techniques has also increased, but the basic principle for obtaining knitted knitwear remains the same.
