travel knits

Knitting threads or yarns are used to create cloths or warm cloths. Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft!

In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn. Such needles are usually 10-16 inches long but, due to the compressibility of knitted fabrics, may be used to knit pieces significantly wider. This includes dedicated knitting sites and an increasing number of forums where enthusiasts can ask questions, provide advice and share tips and tricks.

Since a typical piece of knitted fabric may have hundreds of wales, warp knitting is typically done by machine, whereas weft knitting is done by both hand and machine. Knitting becomes interesting automatically. You can find circular knitting needles, double point knitting needles and also single pointed knitting needles made of different materials such as steel, wood or bamboo.

Take your time and understand the information on this site and you will be able to knit anything you want. Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic.
