KNITmuch | Issue 06
Here’s another issue you don’t want to miss! We’re talking about one of the more recent yarns Premier Toy Box, its characteristics, benefits and how perfect it is for knitting for children. We also look at non-allergenic sock yarns, and conversations about brioche knitting and knitting one stitch below using the luxurious Bella Cash. You’ll want to know about self striping yarns and examine what it’s like to knit with gradient striping yarn, Sweet Roll and Red Heart With Love Stripes and know the difference. Plenty of patterns to explore using Red Heart Soft and Evermore yarns.
