Catalina Highway Pillow

mercredi 20 décembre 2017

Fair Isle Catalina Highway Pillow in Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift yarn

Catalina Highway Pillow, a Fair Isle style pillow cover designed by Mary Ann Stephens, knit with twelve colors of Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift 100% Shetland wool yarn, doubled for a DK -weight gauge.  Knitting kits with twenty balls of Spindrift plus the emailed PDF are available through the designer’s Kidsknits.com online shop.

The inspiration for my Catalina Highway Pillow:

Down in America’s Southwest, up in the northeast corner of Tucson, AZ, you’ll find the Catalina Highway. At its base in the Sonoran Desert, the landscape is punctuated by the lively reds and oranges of ocotillo and cholla cactus flowers alongside the dusty greens of the stately saguaros, with their big, creamy white blossoms. As you zigzag your way up the highway, you’ll leave the desert behind as you climb Mt.Lemmon, passing rocky outcroppings, towering evergreens and one breathtaking view after another. In one of the country’s loveliest 30-minutes rides, you’ll travel from the warm, blooming, high desert to America’s southernmost ski mountain. Hope you brought a sweater! 😉

OPERATING TIPS FOR INDUSTRIAL FINISHING PRODUCTS IN CASHMERE

For best results we recommend a dry cleaning quote followed by a wash with water treatment facility .

FIRST STEP :
OPERATING TIPS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DRY AND FINISHING PRODUCTS IN CASHMERE
Sample orientation dry treatment machines " Donini D- 150" from kg.25/30 and about 400 gallons of perc Ethylene .

    Load the perc Ethylene at room temperature and spin the mesh for a period of time which can vary from 1 minute to 6 minutes.
    Download the solvent and spin the mesh without the bath perchlore Ethylene for a period of time that can vary from 5 minutes to 8 minutes, depending on the type of stitch and the desired result .
    At the end of treatment and spin dry.
    It is advisable to keep the temperature of the perc Ethylene under control, because a few degrees of temperature change of the solvent affect the final result. Particular attention must be paid to the variation of the ambient temperature due to the change of the seasons , are in fact just a few degrees of change to get a different result.
    Continue finishing the treatment with water .

SECOND STEP :
OPERATING TIPS FOR THE TREATMENT OF WATER AND FINISHING PRODUCTS IN CASHMERE
Sample orientation of water treatment machines " Lavenda " kg . 4/5 and about 125 liters of water

    It is advisable to do a pre-wash with water at about 30 ° C , using 3 grams of soap per liter of water, for a period of time of about 2 minutes.
    Download the bathroom and restart with water at a temperature of 35-40 ° C by adding 3 grams of soap per liter of water , treated for a period from 2 to 6 minutes depending on the type of color, mesh point and the desired result .
    At the end of treatment rinse the meshes in water at 30 ° C.
    Do not spin dry thoroughly and vests immediately to avoid wrinkling .
    Drying at a temperature of 75 ° C for 15-20 minutes, then continue for 3-5 minutes , stopping the flow of hot air . We recommend that you remove the mesh dall'asciugante well dried to prevent wrinkling .

Additional tips :

    The bath ratio should be 1:25 to 1:30 , that are necessary for every Kg 25/30 liters of water.
    If the water has a hardness greater than 7/8 degrees is necessary to install a water softener .
    And ' prudent to make sure that the water supply to the machine at the desired temperature and to be careful not to heat the water in the car with the mesh inside.
    You should always make the treatment on their shirts inside out.
    We do not recommend the use of any additive and / or fabric softener .
    The treatment carried out with water temperature above 40 ° C may result in undesirable color change of color ; therefore recommend that you carefully check the actual temperature of the solution, however it is good practice to test all the colors before proceeding with production.
    If you decide to avoid the prior dry cleaning , it must nevertheless be carried out for all the pastel colors and stained garments .

We remind you that these statements are only an indication .
If the operation is done on a machine of another type , you have to consider the possibility that there is a different mechanical action , therefore , in this case , our suggestions may require variations .
We recommend that you always run the tests in order to assess the outcome of each color in different knitting stitches , to leave this unchanged in the wash water , the liquor ratio and temperature, acting only on the time of treatment.

OPERATING TIPS FOR INDUSTRIAL FINISHING PRODUCTS IN CASHMERE

For best results we recommend a dry cleaning quote followed by a wash with water treatment facility .

FIRST STEP :
OPERATING TIPS FOR THE TREATMENT OF DRY AND FINISHING PRODUCTS IN CASHMERE
Sample orientation dry treatment machines " Donini D- 150" from kg.25/30 and about 400 gallons of perc Ethylene .

    Load the perc Ethylene at room temperature and spin the mesh for a period of time which can vary from 1 minute to 6 minutes.
    Download the solvent and spin the mesh without the bath perchlore Ethylene for a period of time that can vary from 5 minutes to 8 minutes, depending on the type of stitch and the desired result .
    At the end of treatment and spin dry.
    It is advisable to keep the temperature of the perc Ethylene under control, because a few degrees of temperature change of the solvent affect the final result. Particular attention must be paid to the variation of the ambient temperature due to the change of the seasons , are in fact just a few degrees of change to get a different result.
    Continue finishing the treatment with water .

SECOND STEP :
OPERATING TIPS FOR THE TREATMENT OF WATER AND FINISHING PRODUCTS IN CASHMERE
Sample orientation of water treatment machines " Lavenda " kg . 4/5 and about 125 liters of water

    It is advisable to do a pre-wash with water at about 30 ° C , using 3 grams of soap per liter of water, for a period of time of about 2 minutes.
    Download the bathroom and restart with water at a temperature of 35-40 ° C by adding 3 grams of soap per liter of water , treated for a period from 2 to 6 minutes depending on the type of color, mesh point and the desired result .
    At the end of treatment rinse the meshes in water at 30 ° C.
    Do not spin dry thoroughly and vests immediately to avoid wrinkling .
    Drying at a temperature of 75 ° C for 15-20 minutes, then continue for 3-5 minutes , stopping the flow of hot air . We recommend that you remove the mesh dall'asciugante well dried to prevent wrinkling .

Additional tips :

    The bath ratio should be 1:25 to 1:30 , that are necessary for every Kg 25/30 liters of water.
    If the water has a hardness greater than 7/8 degrees is necessary to install a water softener .
    And ' prudent to make sure that the water supply to the machine at the desired temperature and to be careful not to heat the water in the car with the mesh inside.
    You should always make the treatment on their shirts inside out.
    We do not recommend the use of any additive and / or fabric softener .
    The treatment carried out with water temperature above 40 ° C may result in undesirable color change of color ; therefore recommend that you carefully check the actual temperature of the solution, however it is good practice to test all the colors before proceeding with production.
    If you decide to avoid the prior dry cleaning , it must nevertheless be carried out for all the pastel colors and stained garments .

We remind you that these statements are only an indication .
If the operation is done on a machine of another type , you have to consider the possibility that there is a different mechanical action , therefore , in this case , our suggestions may require variations .
We recommend that you always run the tests in order to assess the outcome of each color in different knitting stitches , to leave this unchanged in the wash water , the liquor ratio and temperature, acting only on the time of treatment.
