What’s the Stitch About Knitting Machines?
Let's talk about knitting machines! What are they, how do they work, and does it count as hand crafting if you use one? Why choose a knitting machine vs knitting by hand?
Make every day a celebration with our collection of dazzling merino wool blended with soft and sparkly stellina fiber. These brilliant blends are suitable for wet or dry felting, hand spinning, and woven wall hangings. The fiber is next-to-skin-soft lending itself beautifully for luxurious lace knitting, blankets, garments, and more. Stellina is a fairly new fiber that is man-made from polyester and nylon. It is similar to Angelina Glitz, but with a softer and smoother hand.
