Machine knitters, get creative with yarn and color!
Use 2 (or more) thin yarns and make a unique yarn.1 Run 2 strands of contrasting (or complementary) colors together as you knit. The yarn will "automatically" create interesting stripes for a graphic design
2Use a yarn twister and the stripes disappear and you get a marled fabric
What's a yarn twister?
A yarn twister is a nifty device that looks similar to a yarn ball winder . It gives you the ability to twist multiple strands of yarn together.
It helps to create a smoother, stronger, and more consistent yarn.
- Twisting will blend colors and change the texture of the resulting yarn strand.
- You can twist a fancy or textured yarn with a plain yarn.
- Make thicker yarn and interesting color combinations.
- Use very fine yarns that may not be suitable to knit singly on the machine
This sample is knitted in full-needle rib (all needles in work) with the beautiful Jaggerspun Superfine Merino 2/18
