For those of you that hardly work with yarn at all but love it or love working with it, you need to play with especially! You have regular yarn, and then you have melt yarn which is a cool and creative way to turn your yarn into something special, but again its fun to use in your crafts. But, wait, what is melt yarn and how do you use it? Join us for our beginner’s guide to this exciting technique!
Melt yarn is just that: you heat up your yarn and "melt" it into a new shape. It is through this melting process that you can achieve all with unique textures that can make your knit or crochet make fun and exciting. Melted yarn is where you take a solid piece of yarn and turn it into a colorful show-stopper!
So what do you need to do with melt yarn? AHEAT — you could use a microwave, oven, or heat gun. These tools allow you to heat turn the yarn to a point that it melts. Next, get some yarn – you can easily do this technique with any type of yarn, though thicker yarns are better for melt yarn, since they keep their shape well when melted.
If you want to melt your yarn, make sure that first, you cut it to pieces that are more manageable. The importance of this step is because smaller lengths of yarn will melt easier. Heat the yarn according to the instructions for your heat source, taking care to avoid melting any part of it and keeping an eye on the time. Because every tool can require different methods for melting the yarn, it’s crucial to pay close attention to these instructions. As always, be safe when using heat!
Another fun way to make your melt yarn projects shine is by incorporating other materials, such as beads, sequins, or glitter. Just rub or sprinkle on these additional materials before you heat up your yarn. You can watch in wonder as they dissolve into the yarn, becoming a lovely part of your design. Adds extra sparkle and flair to your projects!
Melt yarn is also great for working with other colors, which is another fun avenue to explore. You can add different shades of yarn inside for a colorful effect, or even try dyeing the yarn before melting. You will have a truly unique and one of a kind design that no one else will have!
