solid cotton knit bedding

Anyone who has anything to do with knitting will know the importance of knitting yarns. Anyone who has anything to do with knitting will know the importance of knitting yarns.

In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn. This is because there are numerous textures of yarn and a vast array of colours to choose from. This concept is related to the pattern you have and, if in your pattern it says there are supposed to be , for example, 5 stitches to an inch and you can make only 3, than you should and need to change the size of your knitting needles.

If the fibers are first aligned by combing them, the yarn is smoother and called a worsted; by contrast, if the fibers are carded but not combed, the yarn is fuzzier and called woolen-spun. Depending on their size and shape, the rigid frames are called knitting boards, knitting rings (also called knitting looms) or knitting spools (also known as knitting knobbies, knitting nancies, or corkers). You will know how to do something that not many people know how to do, but might wish they did.

Get knitting! Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns.
