I was reading a discussion of plying on Julia's blog and thought I would write a little about plying and twist angle since I couldn't stick a picture in her comments! When you ply singles that are freshly spun you can hold up a loop of yarn and see if it twists in either direction. If it hangs straight or nearly straight then you have a balanced ply. However, if your singles are even a few minutes old, some of the twist energy has been set. That's because the friction and the scales are sort of interlocking a little bit...

The most popular type of yarn packaging, a skein of yarn, is not the only way yarn is sold. Learn what a regular hank of yarn looks like, along with a folded hank, and twisted hank. You'll also see that there are different types of skeins, like pull skeins and bullet skeins. There are also balls, donut balls, cakes, and cones. So many different options! It's great to have a visual illustration of what you'll find at your local yarn store or on the internet when looking to buy yarn. Download the full and free infographic and keep it around as a handy guide for yarn packaging questions. With such a helpful illustration, you will be able to put a shape to each name you see and understand your options better!

De udskiftelige rundpinde fra Zing er behagelige at holde ved og dejlige at strikke med. De er produceret i det stærke og holdbare materiale aluminium, og du vil derfor have strikkepinde i mange år. Da aluminium samtidig er et let materiale, vejer pindene ikke meget, ligesom materialet ikke er koldt i hænderne. Letheden gør, at du kan holde til at strikke med dem i lang tid ad gangen. Strikkepindene har ligeledes en meget glat overflade, hvor garnet glider nemt. Det er derfor meget behageligt at arbejde med disse jumperpinde fra Zing. De udskiftelige rundpinde kan bruges af såvel nybegynderen som den erfarne strikker. Da de er holdbare og af god kvalitet, er strikkepindene et godt og solidt arbejdsredskab for alle uanset erfaring. Rundpindene kan bruges til alle slags strikkeprojekter – uanset om det er rundstrik eller frem og tilbage. Zing-serien adskiller sig ved, at hver pindstørrelse har sin egen unikke farve, hvilket gør det nemt at se forskel på pindene og hurtigt finde den størrelse, som du er på udkig efter. Farverne er farvestrålende og sætter automatisk kulør på dit strikketøj. Rundpindene kommer i flere forskellige størrelser fra 3 og op til 8 mm og med wirer i flere forskellige længder. Fordelen ved udskiftelige rundpinde er, at du nemt kan bygge præcis dén rundpind, som du skal bruge til det enkelte strikkeprojekt, og skal du skifte pindstørrelse eller længde undervejs, er dette også nemt at ordne uden at skulle have arbejdet over på en helt ny rundpind. Pindene er nikkelfrie, og du kan derfor strikke uden bekymring om allergiske reaktioner. Zing er lavet af KnitPro, som er én af de førende producenter af strikkepinde og hæklenåle. Zing-kollektionen indeholder et bredt udvalg af forskellige strikkepinde, hvor du i serien både kan få faste og udskiftelige rundpinde, jumperpinde, strømpepinde, strikkepindesæt samt diverse strikketilbehør.

De faste rundpinde fra Karbonz er produceret i kulfiber – også kaldet karbon. Kulfiber er et både stærkt og let materiale, og Karbonz-serien er derfor en kombination af de bedste egenskaber fra metal og træ, som er henholdsvis stærkt og let. Rundpindene fra Karbonz er derfor meget stærke og vejer ikke meget. De har ligeledes en meget glat og blød overflade, hvilket giver en god strikkeoplevelse. Da kulfiber ikke er et koldt materiale, føles pindene ikke kolde at holde ved, og du vil sagtens kunne arbejde med de behagelige rundpinde i flere timer i træk. Strikkepindenes spidser er belagt med messing, som glider nemt igennem maskerne. Rundpindene fra Karbonz har et meget enkelt og stilrent look, som er holdt i sort med ender i messing. De faste rundpinde kan bruges af både den øvede strikker og nybegynderen, da mange vil synes godt om de dejlige og lette strikkepinde, som tilmed er lavet i et virkelig holdbart materiale. De kan derfor sagtens holde til at blive brugt, og du vil kunne have dem i mange år. De kan bruges til alle typer strikkeprojekter og ikke kun, når der skal strikkes rundt. De faste rundpinde adskiller sig fra de udskiftelige ved, at pindene og wiren ikke kan skilles ad og udskiftes med fx en længere wire. De faste rundpinde kommer i længder på 40, 60, 80 og 100 cm og i tykkelser fra 2 og op til 8 mm. Du finder derfor nemt en rundpind, som passer til dit projekt. Karbonz er lavet af KnitPro, som er én af de førende producenter, når det kommer til strikkepinde og hæklenåle.

Steeped in history and romance pomegranates have long been cultivated for their nutritious and delicious juice. The flowers are bright red and so beautiful that some fruitless varieties are grown for ornamental value. I've witnessed the fruit just dropping to the ground, providing food for animals - which is crazy to me because they're packed with useful properties beyond food, they're also a tannin rich dye.

There are many different ways to make pom poms but if you want them to be full and fluffy you need to use these 3 quick and easy tricks.

I've been wanting to have a go at making t-shirt yarn ever since I saw this tutorial on how to recycle an old t-shirt to make yarn. The only thing that has put me off is that if I made it from a t-shirt, then I'd only be able to make a limited amount and I ALWAYS need more! So for some time, I've been working on an idea to make a t-shirt style yarn from a length of jersey fabric - that way I could make as much as I like and still make more if I need to. I bought 4 metres of baby blue crushed velvet fabric and the sharpest scissors I could find and laid it out on the floor. Then I cut a horizontal strip that was approximately 5 - 6cm wide. When I was about 7cm from the selvedge I stopped and started cutting my strip from the opposite side. I then just cut a curve to neaten up the sharp corner that was about a 6cm radius from the end of the cut. I just kept on cutting like this, zig-zagging side to side, all the way up the fabric until I'd used all 4 metres. It was as simple as that. I must admit, it took quite a few hours, over a couple of days, but I've now got nearly 800grams of super chunky yarn at a little over £1.50 per 100g - which I think is pretty good!
