This weekend I was lucky to visit the company store of the Pekhorsky Textile factory, the same one that produces knitting yarn under the Pekhorka brand.

There are two official stores in Moscow: on Volgogradsky Prospekt and near the Paveletsky railway station. I visited the one located near the train station.

From the official Pekhorka website:

Address: Russia, Moscow, st. Kozhevnicheskaya shopping center "Kozhevniki" (Gromada)
Metro: Paveletskaya
Telephone: 8-964-510-15-97
Working hours: Mon-Sat from 10:00 to 20:00, Sun from 10:00 to 19:00
Directions: m. Paveletskaya, exit to the station. Walk along the square of Paveletsky railway station (the station is on the right), then straight along the tram line to the Gromada shopping center, the entrance to the Kozhevniki shopping center,2nd floor,left wing.

It was not difficult to get to him. The description is exactly true!

Shop and assortment of yarn

Entering the mall, immediately climbed the stairs and went to the left wing. The store is located right at the end of the alley. It does not look like modern stores at all: do not expect left-luggage offices at the entrance, cashiers and consultants. It is best to compare this outlet with a warehouse.

On a small counter and a couple of racks, multi-colored skeins are laid out in single copies, with price tags, with samples. And along the walls, on racks with a larger capacity of 3-4 meters in height, packages with yarn are comfortably arranged.

What kind of yarn is not here! All kinds, very, very many colors (but not all). There are bobbins for machine knitting, yarn for felting. It's impossible to leave without picking up something!

The saleswoman in the store is alone, sitting at the cash register and knitting (as far as I understand). He greets, does not interfere with the choice, willingly answers questions and helps with advice if you ask.

Near the cash desk there is a small assortment of knitting accessories. But this is definitely not what you should go to this store for.

Prices for skeins

As for the prices, they are quite decent (in the sense that they are small). For example:

• "Australian merino" (95% wool, 100 gr.) - 230 rubles,
• "Children's whim" (50% wool, 50 gr.) - 78 rubles,
• "Children's tenderness" (25% wool, 50 gr.) - 75 rubles,
• "Needlewoman" (100% polypropylene, 50 gr.) - 35 rubles.

For comparison, in the famous Leonardo hobby hypermarket:

• "Australian merino" (95% wool, 100 gr.) - 249 rubles,
• "Children's whim" (50% wool, 50 gr.) - 84 rubles,
• "Needlewoman" (100% polypropylene, 50 gr.) - not for sale.

And the choice in the company store is many times greater!

Of course, if you buy in small bulk through the Ozon.ru store, it turns out that Ozon is cheaper:

• "Australian merino" (95% wool, 100 gr.) - 192 rubles,
• "Children's whim" (50% wool, 50 gr.) - 63 rubles,
• "Children's tenderness" (25% wool, 50 gr.) - not for sale,
• "Needlewoman" (100% polypropylene, 50 gr.) - 30 rubles.

But when ordering on Ozone, it is impossible to indicate a smaller number of skeins than is in the package. Well, you can’t feel anything - and this is very important when choosing yarn!

Pekhorka yarn quality

Having finally understood for myself that I want to knit, I began to look for “my” yarn. I tried Turkish, German, Austrian, and Russian (Pekhorka, Semenovskaya, Kirovskaya).

For myself, I made the following conclusions:

• for knitting, German yarn is easier and more pleasant. There are no problems with her. But! This yarn is expensive - 2-3 times more expensive than Russian,
• in terms of price-quality ratio, it is better not to find Pekhorka in Russia. The yarn does not prick (the one that is not 100% wool, but it is better to feel it personally), does not fade, does not stretch, it is very easy to knit and crochet and knitting.

At the end

Summarizing all of the above:

1. If there is an opportunity to visit this (or any other company store), then it is worth doing. Nowhere else can you get acquainted with the entire range of yarn.
2. In the company store it is very convenient to buy skeins of yarn for testing. That is why, choosing between "Children's whim" and "" I took the latter.
3. If you are sure that it is this type of yarn and this particular color that you need, then you can order it on the Internet - in my opinion, this is the only way to completely guess with yarn.

That's all. Creative success to you and even loops!

On my next trip for yarn to Leonardo's store, an interesting hank of Pekhorka Glamornaya came into my field of vision. And since I needed a new hat, I bought a couple of hanks to try.

Pekhorka Glamorous yarn is very soft and fluffy to the touch. Products from it should turn out to be voluminous. The structure of the thread is unusual - as if something fluffy was wound around a hollow pigtail of their translucent thread.

• interesting selection on the site !!!
• Children's hats, without adult models

On the Internet, there was a completely different composition of this yarn, with lurex and something shiny. My yarn has no sheen.

In a skein of 50 grams, the length of the thread is 175 m.

Composition of Pekhorka Glamorous today: 35% merino wool, 35% acrylic, 30% polyamide.

Price 90 rubles. for 1 skein of Pekhorka Glamorous.

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 the yarn Pekhorka Glamorous

Yarn Pekhorka Glamorous voluminous and fluffy, and it was immediately clear that it would be problematic to dissolve the product from it. My guesses were confirmed. I scored the wrong number of loops, and I managed to dissolve only the initial chain, when knitting double crochets, everything got confused, the yarn was torn, but not unraveled. Perhaps with knitting needles there will be no such problem.

The structure of the Pekhorka Glamorous thread is heterogeneous, so do not expect an even canvas. There are small lumps, but they can be straightened. The most unpleasant thing was waiting for me at the end of the ball - a length of 2 meters was all black, maybe the yarn got somewhere on the loom and got dirty. Since at the very beginning I had to throw out a piece of unraveled linen, I was very worried that there would not be enough yarn to knit a hat. But everything turned out well.

I knitted a hat for myself from one skein. I took the hook No. 4.5, knitted freely, I consider it unreasonable to tighten the fabric with this yarn. Gained 40 air loops, the hat turned out to be 26 cm long and 25 cm wide. Without an overlap on an adult head at all, but I wanted a large voluminous beanie hat. From the second skein of Pekhorka Glamorous, I plan to knit a second pack and cast on 45 loops already.

Vibrant colors of Pekhorka Glamornaya

I believe that Pekhorka Glamorous yarn is well suited for hats, scarves, snoods, stoles and children's things. Its cost is small - 100 rubles. per skein, so don't expect super quality. It also seems to me that it will roll in the process of wearing, so you should not immediately knit large things from it. I have plans for a hat for my daughter and a winter tippet.

On the site, the site found one work knitted from this yarn:

Crochet baby vest from Alexandra Karvelis

Crochet home vest. The task was to make a warm blouse for the house in the cold season before starting the central heating. This vest is knitted very simply and quickly. Yarn Pekhorka Glamorous, consumption 100 g + tying and flower for children

If your store does not have a pekhorka nearby, then look at Fiji from the Trinity Factory as an analogue. Fiji is similar in composition, but the basis of the thread is more pronounced. The white braid shows through the base color and contains less wool. For some products, Fiji may be more suitable. Composition: 60% cotton, 20% merino wool, 20% acrylic, 95m in 50 gr.

Despite the abundance of ready-made knitwear for every taste and budget, interest in knitting does not wane. Such a love for knitting needles and a crochet is very simply explained: clothes, accessories, home decoration, created by oneself - these are always favorite and precious things. And "Pekhorka" - domestic yarn - helps to create them.

History of creation

The textile factory, which set up a line for the production of knitting threads, was established back in pre-revolutionary times, back in 1905. The location of the enterprise gave the sonorous name "Pekhorka". The yarn is so named after the river on the bank of which the factory is located.

Its founding fathers were the Korzinny brothers, they founded a business that successfully exists to this day. A rich assortment, high quality products and its availability are the main criteria by which the enterprise operates today, and Pekhorka yarn (reviews, high sales are proof of this) is a really good raw material loved by many needlewomen.

Chic choice

Is it possible to imagine a damp dank autumn without a cozy cardigan, and 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.

Needlewomen are presented with samples from 100% natural raw materials, as well as with various synthetic additives.

Cotton, sheep, 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 is amazing how many colors in the assortment Pekhorka can please. The yarn of this company is monophonic and melange. Moreover, in each series there are up to several dozen different shades.

With the help of melange threads, knitwear is obtained with a pattern. It can be clear contrasting stripes, a colorful multi-colored canvas or a smooth transition from one tone to another. This effect is achieved due to the sectional dyeing of the thread in a strictly specified order.

Coloring in occurs with the help of high-quality and persistent dyes. Knitwear is absolutely safe if their base is Pekhorka yarn. Reviews about it are very good, it is used for knitting adult and children's clothing, a variety of home textiles (plaids, toys, tablecloths, napkins).

It's no secret that in order to be successful in any business, its owner must be very sensitive to consumer sentiment. Pekhorskaya factory is trying to diversify its 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 an acrylic yarn with the addition of the finest lurex yarn. It is perfect for knitting elegant clothes: dresses, shawls or boleros.

"Beaded" yarn is another copy of "Pekhorka". In it, the threads are intertwined in a special way, rather tight and dense. Such a thread in the finished product forms a granular structure and, indeed, looks like the product is embroidered with the smallest beads.

For lovers of bulk knitting, manufacturers produce yarn called "Creative". For its manufacture, an acrylic thread with a slight whitish tint was used. Products 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 Pekhorskaya factory offers needlewomen a large selection of yarn to create a summer wardrobe. It can be clothes for both adults and children. "Pekhorka" is a universal yarn, and its use as a basis for children's suits, sweaters, dresses and demi-season hats or coats will be an excellent solution.

The summer assortment is rich in yarns made from natural raw materials. This is primarily mercerized, gas-opal and plain cotton, linen and viscose. Clothing made from such material is 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 which of the mothers and loving grandmothers did not knit cute booties, lace hats and cozy suits? And although Pekhorka children's yarn is a novelty, such a line appeared in the assortment relatively recently, it quickly won its customer.

The delicate texture of the thread, ease of knitting, a variety of colors, naturalness - these are the qualities that the children's assortment of yarn for knitting can boast of.

In addition, the positive characteristics of the threads are also manifested in finished products. Children's things get dirty very often, they need to be washed regularly. Often it is this procedure that distorts the appearance of knitwear. The correct washing regime, 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, the yarn “Pekhorka. Children's whim» is made of wool and fiber. This composition provides warmth and hygroscopicity of clothes, which is very important for little fidgets.

A penny saves a ruble

Threads made of natural wool become the record holder for prices. The more it is in the composition 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 fluctuate within 500 rubles for 5 skeins weighing 100 g each.
