Knitting Wool - Knitting is a Fun Experience Where You Can Be Creative And Practical At The Same Time

Knitting wool can be done by machine or by hand. The former provides consistency in the quality of the stitches, but the latter allows for more styles and methods.

UK, AL (prHWY.com) February 15, 2013 - USA, Feb 09, 2013 - Knitting wool can be done by machine or by hand. The former provides consistency in the quality of the stitches, but the latter allows for more styles and methods. Some contemporary knitters even create online groups or blog about the experience of knitting wool to share with friends and family and others who may merely be searching the Internet regarding the topic with the intent of getting into the art themselves. What a way to make technology and something which is of the past meet!

Flat knitting can be done to produce a length of cloth while circular knitting can be done to produce a seamless tube. Different knitting needles, varying in their sharpness and thickness, may be used to achieve certain different effects on the end product.

A good place to start particularly if you are relatively new to knitting to look for patterns is the yarn skein, which comes wrapped and nearly every one of these will have a pattern on it. This is particularly good as the pattern will be correct for the yarn being used. The other advantage is that these patterns are in effect free. There are old favourites such as books and magazines. Often books give step by step instructions as well as a general knitting overview. Finally, an ever growing source of information on both knitting patterns and the best knitting yarns to use is the Internet.

There are different methods of casting on which may be employed, and there are different styles of inserting the needle into the stitch (i.e. knitting is through front of a stitch, knitting is through the back, and a third method which is called combination knitting is through the front of a knit stitch and then through the back of a purl stitch.

Knitting Wool is also available in different weights. The main weights for wool are the following: worsted, super bulky, 4-ply, double knitting, and chunky. It is important that you know the correct weight to use for a certain knitting pattern.
