Nowadays, many people prefer things made by hand. But for the product to be of high quality, good materials are needed. This article talks about what Pekhorka children's cotton is and what types of yarn exist.
Factory
The factory began to emerge back in 1905, when the Korzinny brothers built a cloth factory on the edge of the village of Zhilino in the Moscow region. Over the years, the workshops expanded on the banks of the Pekhorka River.
Over more than 100 years, the factory has undergone many changes: socio-economic functions, directors, and managers have changed. The factory survived perestroika with difficulty. Like many industrial plants in our country, the Pekhorskaya factory experienced a severe economic crisis during these years. Due to non-payment of taxes, the electricity was turned off, the heating system was stopped, and therefore the work of the machines ceased.
In the autumn of 1996, the Viga company, which in the early stages of its development was engaged in the production of fabrics, took over the management of the Pekhorsky plant.
This company installed its machines at the enterprise, thanks to which the production of threads for hand knitting began. They hired people from the Pekhorskaya factory to work there.
Over the years, the factory has undergone several technical re-equipment steps, which consisted of expanding previously rented premises, both workshop and warehouse types. Each year there was a large increase in production volumes and an increase in the range.
Please note! The main suppliers were foreign companies. Among the regular customers were companies from Russia and the CIS, as well as Asia, the USA, Canada and Austria.
The factory is open to constant cooperation with any countries. You can send your proposals directly to the factory's e-mail, which is indicated on the official website. In European stores, you can often find knitted products under the logo of this enterprise.
Production nuances
The factory produces yarns only from natural materials, sometimes synthetic raw materials are added to them. Cotton and different types of wool, and there are more than 120 names, are produced with great care and love. Yarn without knots and roughness is quite easy to use in manual work or on professional machines.
The factory has a huge color palette of yarn. It can satisfy the needs of even the most demanding needlewoman. Pekhorsky threads can be single-color and melange. In each type of manufactured product, there are several dozen colors. With the help of melange yarn, the fabric is obtained with a pattern. These can be even bright stripes, colored multi-colored fabric or a slow gradient from one color to another. This effect is obtained due to the sectional dyeing of threads in a strictly specified direction.
Painting in a monochrome shade is done with good and durable paints. Knitted items are absolutely hypoallergenic if they consist of Pekhorsky threads. They can be used to make not only children's clothing, but also outerwear, bed linen or curtains.
Each employee in production does his job precisely, there are several sections in the workshop. Some work with weaving machines, some with spinning machines, and so on. There are almost no defects in the products.
Variety of yarns
If you are planning to sew bright items for a celebration, it is better to choose the yarn "Shimmering". These are acrylic threads with the addition of 10% lurex. It is mainly used to make items for celebrations: dresses, scarves or jackets.
"Beaded" yarn is one of the most popular at the Pekhorskaya factory. In it, the threads are woven very tightly with each other. Such yarn forms a grainy texture in the finished product, due to which it seems that beads are sewn onto the product.
For those who love voluminous knitting, the factory produces threads called "Creative". Acrylic threads with a slight whitish color are used for its production.
The items made from it are very soft, pleasant to the body and quite warm, perfect for late autumn.
Many people are mistaken in thinking that knitted items are worn only in winter. This factory produces yarn for creating summer items. These are mainly light children's clothing. For example, overalls, hats or children's bodysuits.
There are more than a hundred types of yarn, which you can look at on the manufacturer's website and choose the one you need.
Before buying yarn, it is advisable to consult with the seller or read its description on the official website of the Pekhorskaya factory. Some threads are suitable only for making one type of items, for example, summer or only winter.

Reviews
Victoria, Norilsk: "After my daughter was born, I started thinking about how I could significantly save the family budget by sewing clothes for my child with my own hands. I searched the entire Internet and, based on reviews, chose the Detskaya Novinka yarn from the Pekhorskaya Factory. I bought it in a textile store in my city, and the price was pleasing. Personally, there were no difficult actions in the work for me. I sewed a winter jumpsuit for my child. But I try not to wash it very often, so as not to lose the properties of the yarn."
Maria, Saratov: "Everyone knows that you should only choose natural fabrics for your child. That's why I decided to knit a homemade bodysuit and several hats for my 2-year-old son. I bought several colors of children's cotton. The material turned out to be quite pleasant to the touch, very soft. The child wears the item calmly, she hasn't noticed any allergic reactions, although this happens with other clothes. I haven't tried washing it yet."
Olga, Kirov: “I spent a long time choosing which yarn would be best to knit my daughter’s sarafan. I came across laudatory reviews about the Pekhorskaya factory on one forum. I went to their official website and ordered several colors, pink and white. The footage of one skein is 225 m. The parcel arrived quite quickly, which was already pleasing. The sarafan was knitted very easily, all the threads are even, not shiny. I am very pleased with the result, if I want to make something else for my child, I will definitely use only this yarn.”
In conclusion, it should be noted that the yarn of the Pekhorskaya factory has long won love not only in Russia, but also in foreign countries. It will suit the taste of even the most discerning buyer.
