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?
Draw inspiration for your next project from the long color repeats in the colorful Uneek DK weight yarn. Each washable, extra-fine, Merino wool yarn skein is hand-dyed by skilled artisans in Turkey. Every vibrant, self-striping 100-gram skein purchased plants a tree in Africa through Trees for the Future. Knit, crochet, or weave this soft and washable yarn into brightly colored hats, striped shawls, and more on US 5-6 (3.75-4mm) knitting needles or a US 7 to I-9 (4.5-5.5 mm) crochet hook.
In partnership with Trees for the Future, each skein of Urth Yarns plants a tree in Africa.
