Knitting Wool - Plastic Or Acrylic Are Light And Strong To use In Larger Sizes Knitting

We hold a large stock of wools, but may sometimes not have enough of the same dye lot to fulfil an order, so we would have to order more in to be able to give you the same dye lot.

USA, AK (prHWY.com) September 26, 2012 - USA, Sep 26, 2012 - We hold a large stock of wools, but may sometimes not have enough of the same dye lot to fulfil an order, so we would have to order more in to be able to give you the same dye lot. However this very rarely happens and if it was likely to take any longer than the stated time allowance for an order, then we would inform you, so you would have the option to either wait or cancel the order if need be.
Knitting Patterns - If you have any comments or requests we would really like to hear them, as we feel it is important to listen to our customers, so we can provide the best service possible. Most natural fibres such as wool, cotton, linen, cashmere and alpaca can be steam pressed or wet blocked, whilst mohair, wool blends and synthetic yarns don't usually respond well to steaming but can be wet blocked. I've tried a variety of blocking methods, from steaming to fully immersing pieces in water before wringing out and pinning to shape, but I much prefer the following more gentle method.

Whilst every knitter just can't wait to cast on a new project (which is probably why knitters have so many WIPs: works-in-progress) I can't emphasis enough the importance of checking your tension. Whilst almost all patterns give a standard idea of the number of rows/stitches across a given distance, we all knit slightly differently and it is essential to check your tension if you don't want to finish up with a "sloppy Joe" instead of a "skinny rib" jumper! Using your pattern or your yarn's "ball band" as a guide, make up a tension square measuring 15cm x 15cm (6" x 6").

Needles & Accessories - Modern needles manufactured from plastic or acrylic are light and strong and useful in larger sizes where the equivalent metal needle would be heavy to use. Traditional wooden needles have recently returned to popularity and are now made from a range of sustainable woods such as birch, and most knitters, once they've made the change to wooden needles, are resistant to using anything else.

The heat of your hands warms the wood and makes them very comfortable to work with adding to the whole tactile experience of knitting. Wooden needles also tend to be smooth but not too slippery so are appropriate to all levels of skill.
