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?
The next edition features Chevron Delight by Lora Marin, a lovely and intricate shawl knitted in two of our newest yarns, Ultimate Sock and Mohair. This garment portrays a gorgeous lace pattern and the different textures of both yarns provide it with a unique look and feel.
This beautiful pattern takes 2 Sock Weight skeins and 3 Mohair skeins. You can do it using the same color for both yarns or combine two different shades. The sample shown in these photos is Aniversario in both yarns.
If you haven't tried this yarn yet, you can find information and colors here: Malabrigo Mohair Malabrigo Ultimate Sock
