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?
Following the success of Socks Yeah! We've been working with Rachel Coopey again to bring you a double knit version of her popular first yarn. Socks Yeah! DK is the made from the same soft but hard wearing blend of Superwash Merino and Nylon, making it a perfect workhorse yarn. With a lovely bouncy twist and great stitch definition this is the perfect go to yarn for everything from socks and sweaters to shawls (we think it would be amazing in brioche stitch) and would make great knits for kids. The color palette shows off Rachel's signature style, with easy to wear neutrals bright pops of color, giving you loads of opportunities for awesome color combinations. We think this is set to become your new favorite DK yarn!
