Permin Yarn

The knitting-fever has taken us and the rest of the UK by storm. This is clearly evident in the growing selection of gorgeous yarns that emerge on the market. Not only from manufacturers all over the world but more specifically from the many skilled manufacturers in the Nordic countries.

Permin yarn is known for its beautiful qualities and broad colour palette, which ranges from the softest pastels to the brightest primary colours. In our range, you will find a number of different qualities that all have their own benefits and can be used to knit everything from small baby blouses to blankets and pillows.

Choose the right Permin knitting yarn

There are so many different qualities that either consist of one fibre or a mix of several different fibres. Regardless of what type of Permin yarn you choose, it has acquired all the best properties of fibres that make up the yarn. In short, this means that by choosing a mixture of, for example, wool and cotton-like Esther, you get the many lovely properties of cotton as well as the great benefits of wool all in one.

Cotton

The soft cotton fibre comes from the cotton plant and is probably the best-known plant fibre used in Permin yarn. Cotton has a great benefit that it is soft, cheap and easy to keep neat. It’s a relatively heavy type of yarn, but it’s still very suitable both for clothing, interiors and more.

Wool

Wool is a great material that has a wide variety of benefits, which makes it one of the most popular fibres when it comes to knitting garments for both adults and children. It’s available in virtually all thicknesses and compositions, and you get a beautiful result out of all of them. Wool is both temperatures regulating and water absorbent, so you won’t feel cold or damp when you wear wool on your body.

Wool/Cotton

When you mix the two fibres, you get a nice and light yarn that not only keeps you warm and dry but also contains some of the cotton's heaviness and softness. It is a really good choice if you are knitting for someone who finds pure wool yarn to be scratchy but still appreciates its insulating effect. 

Choose the right thickness of Permin yarn

When choosing the right quality for your project, it is important to note the thickness of the Permin yarn as well as the specified tension. It tells you how big a needle the yarn is made for and how many stitches you will have for a 10 cm knitting.

If you can’t find a quality that suits the item you want to knit, or if you have fallen in love with a specific colour or a certain type of yarn, don’t worry! You can always find a solution that will ultimately give you the right knitting tension.

You can either knit with two strands, go up one needle size or down one needle size, or you can choose to add a different type of thread to your knitting, which allows you to regulate the tension. If in doubt, you are always more than welcome to contact us by phone or e-mail so we can help you find the right option for you.

What can you create with yarn from Permin?

Naturally, it is not only knitters who benefit from the beautiful Permin yarn. The creative possibilities with Permin yarn are endless. Both regular crochet and the newer method, Tunisian crochet, also deliver amazing results in most of the soft qualities.

If you are interested in embroidery, you can also make beautiful and colourful stitches with the smoother type of yarn in the product range, and you can decorate everything from pillows to blankets or curtains if you have some good leftover yarn lying around. You are only limited by your imagination.

Another thing that is super fun to do for both children and adults is pom poms. They are easy to make together and the results are always great. They can be made in a single colour or heathered. Whichever you find to be the prettiest. You can use them classically on a hat, or use them as decoration on a blouse, for a rug, or as decorations on the wall.
