I am glad to welcome knitting lovers!
I like to knit various interesting and unusual things. My passion is shared by my customers))) I take on unusual orders with great pleasure! For example, here are these bunny booties:
Bunny booties - made from "Handmade" yarn from "Pekhorka" - blue and white (items 05 and 01)
The booties are knitted from yarn from the manufacturer "Pekhorka" - "Handmade", 2 colors are used - white (article 01) and blue (article 05). The consumption is very small - it’s hard to say more precisely, because I knitted 2 booties from two skeins at the same time. Well, maybe a skein of blue yarn in total or even less, and a little bit of white. Knitting needles took number 2.
Why did I suddenly start knitting booties with Handicraft yarn?
Firstly, the necessary colors were at hand, and secondly - because I had previously tried Handicraft - I knitted a baby blanket for a crib (size approximately 75 cm by 130 cm). It seemed like it would never end!.. I spent about a month knitting such a blanket))) I bought 2 packages for the blanket (in one package - 5 skeins of 50 grams each), and it wasn’t enough - I had to buy 1 skein at retail. In total, the blanket took 11 skeins (approximately 550 grams). Knitted with knitting needles number 2.5.
And now about the yarn.
Yarn "Handmade" from "Pekhorka", article 01
Manufacturer: Pekhorsky Textile LLC (popularly referred to simply as Pekhorka), Russia.
On the label there is information: “Handmade” yarn for hand knitting, summer series.
Article 01 - color white.
175 meters at 50 degrees,
There is no information or recommendation on the hook number - apparently, crocheting is not recommended. Honestly, I haven't tried it. And I don't recommend it. To avoid repeating the story that happened to me - I described it in the review, I recommend reading -
I’ll add from myself: handmade yarn pekhorka has a fairly dense and smooth twist, there is no effect of lint or fluff - absolutely smooth acrylic (not fluffy, not voluminous). Thanks to this twisting of the product, knitted, they turn out very beautiful, even and smooth. It “creaks” in the skein, but not in the finished product. Very pleasant to the touch (in the finished product). It has a light, noble shine, and this also improves the appearance of finished products made from this yarn.
Children's blanket- "in progress". Handmade yarn from Pekhorka, article 01
On my own behalf, I give a rating of “4” to the Handicraft yarn - only because of the presence of defects in almost every skein. Maybe the batch was like this... Maybe I was unlucky... But in almost every skein there was a small defect - either a knot or some green places instead of white (small, but still!), and even some foreign inclusions (similar to straw... although where would it come from? But a fact). If it weren’t for these unpleasant moments, then I would definitely give it a “5” and praise it tirelessly!..))) Although I didn’t notice any defects in the blue Handicraft (article 05) (I’m already knitting the third booties from this article).
But despite the above, I buy “Handicraft” yarn again and again - it’s very cheap (in my favorite online store - 155 rubles for a pack of 5 skeins), and I like the dense, smooth thread, which, when knitting with knitting needles, lies very smoothly and Beautiful! I advise you to try it too - buy yarn Pekhorka Rukodelnaya. I bought Handicrafts from Pekhorka for future use - I want to tie pillowcases onto the sofa cushions. As soon as I knit it, I’ll definitely brag about it!
I plan to write a series of reviews with photographs of my work. I hope my reviews are helpful. If it's not difficult, please rate it.

Despite the abundance of ready-made knitwear for every taste and budget, interest in knitting continues unabated. This love for knitting needles and crochet is very simply explained: clothes, accessories, home furnishings created with your own hands are always favorite and precious things. And Pekhorka, a domestically produced yarn, helps to create them.
History of creation
The textile factory, which set up a line for the production of knitting threads, was created back in pre-revolutionary times, back in 1905. The location of the enterprise gave it the sonorous name “Pekhorka”. The yarn is named after the river on the banks of which the factory is located.
Its founders were the Korzin brothers, they founded a business that successfully exists to this day. A rich assortment, high quality products and their availability are the main criteria by which the company operates these days, and Pekhorka yarn (reviews and high sales are proof of this) is a really good raw material loved by many needlewomen.
Great choice
Can you imagine a damp, chilly autumn without a cozy cardigan, or a cold winter without a warm scarf and mittens? Of course not! The requirements for these products are the most stringent, because they must be warm, comfortable, and durability plays a role.
“Pekhorka” is a yarn that will satisfy the most fastidious and demanding customer. Finding the right composition, color and texture is not difficult.
Samples made from 100% natural raw materials, as well as with various synthetic additives, are presented to the attention of needlewomen.
Cotton, sheepskin, merino, alpaca, acrylic, mixed compositions - all these types, as well as many others (and there are more than 100 of them) are created with love and care. Threads without knots and irregularities are very easy to use in knitting by hand and on special knitting machines.
Color range
It’s amazing how many flowers in the assortment “Pekhorka” can please. The yarn from this company can be plain or melange. Moreover, in each series there are up to several dozen different shades.
Using melange threads, knitwear is produced with a pattern. These can be clear contrasting stripes, a variegated multi-colored fabric, or a smooth transition from one tone to another. This effect is achieved through sectional dyeing of the thread in a strictly specified order.
Coloring occurs using high-quality and durable dyes. Knitted products are absolutely safe if their base is Pekhorka yarn. Reviews about it are very good; it is used for knitting adult and children's clothing, various home textiles (blankets, toys, tablecloths, napkins).
It's no secret that to succeed in any business, its owner must be very sensitive to consumer sentiment. The Pekhorsk factory is trying to diversify its product range. That is why among simple threads there are quite interesting positions.
To create clothes with a twist, you should pay attention to the “Shimmering” yarn. This is acrylic yarn with the addition of the finest Lurex thread. It is perfect for knitting elegant clothes: dresses, shawls or boleros.
“Beaded” yarn is another copy of “Pekhorka”. The threads in it are intertwined in a special way, quite tightly and tightly. Such a thread in the finished product forms a grainy structure and, indeed, looks as if the product is embroidered with tiny beads.
For lovers of bulky knitting, manufacturers produce yarn called “Creative”. It is made using acrylic thread with a light whitish tint. Products made from it are incredibly soft, pleasant to the touch and very warm - just what you need for cool autumn days.
Summer
Most often associated with the cold season. But this is a serious misconception! The Pekhorsk factory offers needlewomen a large selection of yarn to create a summer wardrobe. This can be clothing for both adults and children. “Pekhorka” is a universal yarn, and its use as the basis for children’s suits, sweaters, dresses and demi-season hats or coats will be an excellent solution.
The summer assortment is rich in yarn made from natural raw materials. These are primarily mercerized, gas-colored and plain cotton, linen and viscose. Clothes made from such material are light, breathable and hygroscopic, and these are exactly the qualities that things should have in hot weather.
All the best for children
Every mother wants the best for her baby. And who among the mothers and loving grandmothers has not knitted cute booties, lace hats and cozy suits? And although “Pekhorka” children’s yarn is a new product, such a line appeared in the assortment relatively recently, and it quickly won over its customers.
Delicate texture of the thread, ease of knitting, variety of colors, naturalness - these are the qualities that the children's range of knitting yarn can boast of.
Besides, positive characteristics threads also appear in finished products. Children's clothes get dirty very often and need to be washed regularly. Often it is precisely this procedure that distorts appearance knitted items. The correct washing cycle, as well as delicate detergents, will help keep hand-knitted wardrobe items in excellent condition, even after many washes.
To avoid allergic reactions and irritation, thread manufacturers use the best raw materials. So, yarn “Pekhorka. Children's whim» made of wool and fiber. This composition provides warmth and hygroscopicity of clothing, which is very important for little fidgets.
The ruble saves a pretty penny

Yarn is a fairly popular product, sold in large quantities every day. Unfortunately, goods of dubious quality are more often found on store shelves. To avoid a bad purchase, you need to choose yarn from a proven textile brand.
