Had to frog and restart the Pickett beanie 🐸🐸. I didn't cast on enough stitches for my yarn needle combo. But I'm chugging along now and this yarn is perfect for these textured cables. It's going to be my favorite hat this winter when it's too chilly for my Siren hat. #knit #knitstr #yarn #yarnstr
Nooooo not frogging!
Ive seen so many tears about frogs!
I wasn't too far in, and I'm glad I went bigger. It'll fit nicely in the end.
What is the yarn made of? Polyester blend or? I know nothing about knitting, or yarn.
This one is a single ply superwash merino wool. And so yummy and squishy 😍. I frequently use acrylic yarns though, they've come a long way as far as softness and durability.
Single ply means one strand of fiber vs plied yarns having multiple strands twisted together.
Superwash is a treatment to remove the scales and keep the fibers from felting together with agitation.
Now you know a little bit about yarn 🤣🤣
Super wash merino wool sounds dreamy. If you accidentally make two and need to sell one, lmk 🤭
😆 It's the best of both worlds, it's wool that you can (sort of) treat like acrylic. Although I always hand wash and air dry.
I'm working my courage up to be like Karo and make things to sell...I'm getting there with a commission here and there, but would love to knit up some crazy hats that I have patterns for but no winter to wear them 😂☹️.
What are these patterns of which you speak? 🧐 chunky beanies or?
They have gorgeous textures 😍😍😍 I've made 2 in sock yarn (very light for the "winters" we have) because it's pretty easy to substitute whatever yarn you want, so they could be... Wanded knit and crochet/Jenny Noto is the pattern designer that most of my hat patterns came from and she loves to use big fat chunky yarns.
