The full extent
My experience covers in-depth knowledge of fibres and yarn manufacturing:
- I am experienced in developing various yarn types including woollen, worsted, Donegal, roving, boucle, chenille, brushed, tape and handpainted
- I am able to make recommendations for end-uses regarding yarn counts and fibre blends for apparel weaving, upholstery, hand-knitting and machine knitting
- I understand fully that fibre blends and yarn twists offer endless creative possibilities, notwithstanding price engineering, including naturals, natural/manmade mixes, mélange colours, knopped and flecked yarns, chines and twists, painted or printed etc.
- I am experienced in the development of yarn shade cards, colour layouts, design and graphics, sample swatches and presentation display panels for trade shows
- I can offer advice on the correct balance of ‘yarn strings’ with colours which can then be developed so they co-ordinate and work together perfectly, making life easier for the development of woven colourways
- As I attend many yarn trade shows through the year, I am happy to source yarns for textile or fashion clients for a variety of end-uses
And of course, I am to be seen at most of the key international yarn fairs and trade shows:
