Despite the abundance of ready-made knitwear for every taste and budget, interest in knitting does not wane. 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 spectrum
It’s amazing how many colors 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.
In addition, the positive characteristics of threads also appear in finished products. Children's clothes get dirty very often and need to be washed regularly. Often it is this procedure that distorts the appearance of 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" is 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
Threads made from natural wool become the record holder for prices. The more it contains and the more exotic the origin of the raw materials (alpaca, llama, merino, camel wool), the higher the cost of such yarn. On average, budget ones range from 500 rubles for 5 skeins weighing 100 g each.
Pekhorka yarn from A to Z
The history of the Pekhorsk factory dates back to the distant and memorable year 1905 for Russia, when a cloth factory was built not far from Moscow on the western outskirts of the village of Zhilino by the Korzin brothers. Factory buildings grew up on a low picturesque hill, on the banks of the Pekhorka River.
Currently, the company produces more than 100 articles of yarn, and has mastered the following types of raw materials: wool, alpaca, angora, camel hair, cotton, linen, viscose, acrylic. The production of fancy yarn, section-dyed yarn, melange and mulled yarn has been launched in a wide range. Production waste is successfully processed and high-quality batting is produced.

On my next trip to the Leonardo store for yarn, an interesting skein of Pekhorka Glamornaya came into my field of vision. And since I needed a new hat, I bought a couple of skeins to try.
Yarn Pekhorka Glamorous is very soft and fluffy to the touch. Products made from it should be voluminous. The structure of the thread is unusual - as if something fluffy was wound around the hollow braid of their translucent thread.
- interesting selection for the site!!!
- Children's hats, without adult models
On the Internet I found a completely different composition of this yarn, with lurex and something shiny. My yarn has no shine.
A skein contains 50 g, thread length 175 m.
The composition of Pekhorka Glamornaya today: 35% merino wool, 35% acrylic, 30% polyamide.
Price 90 rub. for 1 skein of Glamorous Pekhorka.
The color range is extensive, the colors are beautiful and modern: light blue, delicate violet, mustard, sea wave, dark emerald, peas, etc. My numbers in the photo: 29 pink lilac and 191 blackberry.
The length of the thread is excellent and, according to my calculations, should be enough for an adult beanie hat. I knitted a hat.
My review of Pekhorka Glamorous yarn
The Pekhorka Glamorous yarn is voluminous and fluffy, and it was immediately clear that unraveling a product made from it would be problematic. My guesses were confirmed. I cast on the wrong number of loops, and I only managed to unravel the initial chain; when knitting double crochets, everything got tangled, the yarn broke, but did not unravel. Perhaps when knitting there will be no such problem.
The structure of the Pekhorka Glamornaya thread is heterogeneous, so don’t expect an even fabric. There are some small lumps, but they can be straightened out. The most unpleasant thing awaited me at the end of the ball - a section of 2 meters was all black, perhaps the yarn got somewhere on the machine and got dirty. Since I had to throw away a piece of unraveled fabric at the very beginning, I was very worried that there wouldn’t be enough yarn to finish knitting the hat. But everything worked out well.
I knitted a hat for myself from one skein. I took a hook number 4.5, knitted it loosely, I think it would be unreasonable to tighten the fabric with this yarn. I cast on 40 air loops, the hat turned out to be 26 cm long and 25 cm wide. It didn’t fit on an adult head at all, but I just wanted a large, voluminous beanie hat. From the second skein of Pekhorka Glamornaya I plan to knit a second pack and cast on 45 stitches.
Living colors of Pekhorka Glamornaya
I believe that Pekhorka Glamorous yarn is well suited for hats, scarves, snoods, stoles and children's clothes. Its cost is small - 100 rubles. per skein, so don't expect super quality. It also seems to me that it will pill during wear, so you shouldn’t knit large things from it right away. I have plans for a hat for my daughter and a winter stole.
On the site I found one work knitted from this yarn:
Children's crochet vest from Alexandra Karvelis
Crochet home vest. The task was to make a warm blouse for the house during the cold season before the central heating was started. This vest is knitted very simply and quickly. Yarn Pekhorka Glamorous, consumption 100 g + binding and flower for children
If your store doesn’t have pekhorka nearby, then look at Fiji from the Trinity Factory as an analogue. Fiji is similar in composition, but the base of the thread is more pronounced. The white braid shows through the base color and contains less wool. Fiji may be more suitable for some products. Composition: 60% cotton, 20% merino wool, 20% acrylic, 95m in 50g.
