Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft! Knitting is the art of turning threads int
In weaving, the threads are always straight, running parallel either lengthwise (warp threads) or crosswise (weft threads). They are used for knitting socks, hats, and sleeves. Knitted garments are often more form-fitting than woven garments, since their elasticity allows them to follow the body's curvature closely; by contrast, curvature is introduced into most woven garments only with sewn darts, flares, gussets and gores, the seams of which lower the elasticity of the woven fabric still further.
People who knit are skilled at juggling both these tasks and also switching yarn in order to add color to their blankets. The dyeing of yarns is a complex art. In lace knitting, the pattern is formed by making small, stable holes in the fabric, generally with yarn overs.
Yarn with multiple shades of the same hue are called ombre, while a yarn with multiple hues may be known as a given colorway a green, red and yellow yarn might be dubbed the "Parrot Colorway" by its manufacturer, for example. The thickness of the yarn may vary along its length; a slub is a much thicker section in which a mass of fibers is incorporated into the yarn.
