Vita yarn is currently produced in India, China or Turkey for the German company OSBP GmbH. Once it was also produced in Germany, and many knitters note the higher quality of the yarn of the time compared to what you can buy now.
What is she - Vita Yarn?
I note that all yarn of this company is divided into three subgroups, namely, Vita yarn is the so-called "winter" classical yarn, Vita Stton yarn - summer classic yarn and fantasy yarn Vita Fancy.In this article, we will talk about Vita's yarn. I will tell you about summer and fantasy yarn in the following articles.
I will describe some characteristics of Vita yarn in general terms.
A feature of many articles of classical winter yarn Vita is the use of wool "Laster" - wool, which has been specialized, due to which it acquires shine and silkiness.
When I first picked up yarn from this wool, I did not believe that this is really natural wool, so unnaturally brilliant and soft it was.
But by checking it with the old "grandfather" way, I was convinced that the manufacturer was not lying.
There is one little lack of such wool, which is very important to consider when knitting. She is slippery, so nodes are recommended to fasten well, otherwise they can unleached.
Also I advise you to knit things from this yarn quite tight.
Some articles are completely identical in composition, but at the same time have different thickness, which is very convenient.
So many concerns the question - does yarn linake? Unambiguous answer on Vita yarn can not give.
Personally, I concluded that a lot depends on the color of yarn and even from the party. In any case, if you want to use multiple colors for knitting, especially contrasting, check the yarn on the durability of the color.
Put a small piece of yarn in hot water, then remove and place between two layers of white fabric. Find the iron.
If the cloth is painted, then it is better not to combine this yarn with lighter.
Tip: Tie a rather large sample and draw with him exactly the same processing that you will spend with a finished product. This procedure will save you from possible unpleasant surprises.
For example, no matter how much I knit from the yarn of this brand - absolutely nothing happened with things after washing. Did not stretch and did not sit down.
But, fishing on the Internet in search of information about this yarn, I am surprised to find feedback that things from Vita were pulled out, then the opposite sat down.
A lot depends on the knitter itself and from the processing that it exposes the product. It should be considered.

Here, in fact, everything about the general features of the yarn of the company Vita.
For greater clarity, I divided this yarn into several categories - 100% wool, semide (wool content of at least 30%), synthetic and blended yarn.
To make it easier for you to choose yarn for your purposes, I introduced every category in the table in which the articles are located in the order of increasing the element per 50 g of yarn.

Wool. The manufacturer characterizes as Superwash, i.e. This yarn can be washed in a washing machine with a special tool on the Wool washing program.
Looking at the Method, it may seem that the yarn is fat. This is not true.
The thickness yarn is the same as the classic wool with a metro station 125 m / 50 g.
But due to the fact that the thread is very tightly twisted, it is heavy, from here and a small meager.
For this reason, I do not recommend knit from it to children. It is better to choose the yarn overly.
In my opinion, the needles need to take no more recommended four.
The yarn is soft, silky, with a light glitter and ... very slippery. Do not forget about careful fixing of the novels!
It is well holding the form due to its elasticity. Perfectly suitable for Aran.
And her shine perfectly emphasizes the beauty of embossed patterns. Openings can also be used, but it must be borne in mind that the canvas will be somewhat rude.
Yarn can be born. Depends on the individual skin sensitivity. For a very sensitive, I would advise you to wear something under a knitted thing.
Thanks to the processing of Superwash, the thing you associated is not welded even after washing in the typewriter.
But this does not mean that it can be washed with ordinary powder. Wool has wool and a washbasin should be very careful.
Some knitters feel the chemical smell after washing from the wet product. Do not worry - it will pass after drying.
A small peeling is possible, which is easily eliminated using a special typewriter.

I read that after the first washing, the thing was pulled out, but in the future I did not change the form. I did not notice this. The blouse, which I knit perfectly retained my shape, both after the first washing, and subsequently.
In general, on the yarn, I have no complaints with one small "but" - despite the chic kind of yarn in the MOTK, the canvas does not look expensive. Therefore, for myself, I concluded that I won't buy it anymore.
Yarn Vita Pure Wool
250 m / 100 g. Recommended: Spokes 3.5 - 4, hook 4.
Classic woolen yarn with a classic metrah.
The thread is very pleasant, elastic. Most suitable for knitting.
Patterns can be chosen any - from ajura to Aranov. It should be especially noted that it is suitable for filling.
The product associated with this yarn is a little bit, but after washing it becomes noticeably softer.
It is necessary to wash such a yarn in cool water (not higher than 30 °). With proper washing does not learn.
Very well suited for knitting men.
Yarn Vita Diamond.
300 m / 100 g. Recommended: 3-3,5 knitting needles, hook 3.5
In the yarn Diamond, LASTER wool is used.
Thanks to the use of this raw yarn, silky, soft, shiny and not barbed.
Diamond yarn replaced the Luster Wool article similar to it.
It is a little harsh before washing, but after washing it becomes soft and not barbed.
It can be used to knit for children, although the choice of "children's colors" is pretty limited.
Well suits for both spokes and hook. In the hook hinge lay very smoothly.
Vita Alpaca Wool Yarn
300 m / 100 g. Recommended: Figures 3-3.5, Hook 2.5
I'm still the same as the previous Diamond. The difference in the composition - 40% of this yarn is an alpaca wool, which has all the properties of sheep wool, but much easier.
This wool does not have fat, so things associated with it are not polluted for a very long time.
Another distinguishing feature is that it is seven times warmer than sheep wool, practically waterproof and does not cause allergies.
Alpaca Wool yarn to measure barbed. It is noticed that in different colors, it cables, then less.
But, in any case, I would recommend to put on something under the clothes associated with it.
Special attention should be paid to the melange variants of this yarn - very unobtrusive and calm.
Due to the fact that the yarn is still not intended for knitting children, coloring is quite calm.
Many natural shades.
The front surface in the canvas turns out beautiful and smooth. Perfectly suitable for ajurists.
You can crochet.
Things from Alpaca Wool are not plugged. It turns out warm and lungs. During washing dark colors can paint water. After washing, things are not drawn with proper handling and do not sit down.
Yarn Vita Caprice Lux
400 m / 100 g. Recommended: Figures 2.5 - 3, hook 2.

Very interesting colors from this yarn. I would call her "Melange Section".
I think that it will go well on Shali thanks to a kind of yarn color.
Yes, and any product will be very spectacular even connected by the usual facial stroy.
Suitable for both the spokes and hook and use in machine knitting.
The yarn is soft and silky due to the use of laster wool. Do not roll.
Things are light and air. Wonderful.
Katovka can form, but they are easily removed.
This yarn is seen alone, but sometimes a very significant minus - it sometimes "unpredictable" in terms of coloring, in the middle of the day can suddenly meet the color, which should not be there.
This makes it difficult to selection of color when knitting various parts of the product.
Yarn Vita Cassandra
400 m / 100 g. Spokes 2 - 2.5, hook 2.5
Also, as in the previous article, the laster wool is used.
Metage is also identical. The difference is that the Cassandra uses a one-window thread color.
The colors of this yarn complement the color gamut articula Diamond. They are very bright and rich.
Under each color you can pick up a couple of suitable shade.
Yarn Vita Corona.
200 m / 50 g. Recommended: Figures 2.5 - 3, hook 2.
Again, the Metrap is similar to the article Cassandra and Caprice Lux.
It is a classic granted yarn.
The canvas turns out to be a motley, as the flower transitions are quite frequent - after 10-15 cm.
Its products from it are fine, light and warm due to natural wool.
Solds a little - of course in comparison with cashmere and merino wool.
Basically, simple patterns are recommended - facechair, sweating knitting, as more complex patterns will simply be impossible to see.
It will be interesting to look at crocheted products. Especially when knitting Irish lace.
Yarn Vita Merino Soft
300 m / 50 g. Recommended: Spokes 1.5 - 2, hook 2
For the production of this yarn, the Merino wool with the processing "Laster" is used.
Yarn It turns out even smoother, soft and silky.
This is the thinnest yarn from Laster's wool company Vita.
The yarn is thin, light, elastic, smooth, soft - beautiful epithets you can still pick up.
Products are obtained by flowing. For openwork patterns - you can't think better.
In the face alcohol, the loops can work uneven. In a pair with a thin thread of the kidmohor of this effect.
Perfectly suitable for knitting chalese. Great blocked.
Well behaves both when washing and after.
Motkey has thickening rather large sizes.
Knit from this yarn shawl. I liked it very much. Blocked well. In general, the yarn is not barbed. You can knit from it to children.
Please note that gray shades 3319 and 3320 with a slight melange. Do not confuse with Merino Soft production of the Italian company SEAM! In the next article, I will talk about the semishet of the company Vita. Do not miss.
