Yarn Knitting Worsted
Posted in Sewing on 10/10/2004 07:59 pm by admin
What does it mean when knitting slippers to use 2 strands of 4-ply worsted weight yarn?
do i actually use 2 strands while knitting the whole project? They are moccasin slippers. here is a link to them: http://www.crochetandknitting.com/mocslipk.htm
Yes, you use two strands held together like one strand through the whole project. When you cast on you cast on with both strands held together. When you insert the needle into the stitch you insert it under both strands, wrap both strands and so forth and so on. It does make the fabric thicker, warmer and it wears longer. 4 ply worsted weight is like plain jane yarn like red heart super saver.
I made slippers for the whole family last year. Good luck and have fun with it!
