For many people one of the most enjoyable aspects of the craft is browsing through the many yarns available in a knitting shop. When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.
Some yarns are dyed to be either variegated (changing color every few stitches in a random fashion) or self-striping (changing every few rows). Variegated yarns can produce interesting visual effects, such as diagonal stripes; conversely, a variegated yarn may frustrate an otherwise good knitting pattern by producing distasteful color combinations. Some people prefer circular needles because they are more comfortable to use and you can knit both in the round or back and forth like straight needles.
The strength of the spun yarn against breaking is determined by the amount of twist, the length of the fibers and the thickness of the yarn. A ribber is put on the machine, after the hem and purl stitches are made. It is not done like knitting on needles, it is done on your fingers.
We hope you found the information here inspiring, please have a look around this site for more great info. Be sure to try using other available resources, such as local craft and hobby stores.
