Yarns – And So To Knit A yarn company to look out for is Yarnhaus. According to a spokesperson from the company ... ’Some of us like to knit everyday, and others squeeze in some stitches when they can. Joining in the forum discussions on Ravelry is great fun for some knitters, but others like to sit back and read. What we all have in common though, is that we love yarn. We love that skein of beautiful fibre that represents potential. Potential and creativity. That process of creating something even more beautiful than the skein itself.’ With this ethos it is not surprising that they stock beautiful yarns, patterns and accessories. This Australian company is very interactive with its clients and are obviously ‘knitters’ themselves and they love to…

• Circular knitting or knitting in the round is a form of knitting that creates a seamless tube. When knitting circularly, the knitting is cast on and the circle of stitches is joined. Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral. Originally, circular knitting was done using a set of four or five double-pointed needles. Later, circular needles were invented, which can also be used to knit in the round: the circular needle looks like two short knitting needles connected by a cable between them (Ref: Wikipedia) • Céline is a French ready-to-wear and leather goods luxury brand that has been owned by LVMH group since 1996. It was founded in 1945 by Céline Vipiana. Since November 2015, the headquarters are located at:…

BEGINNER'S TOOL KIT PINS Plastic-head pins are useful for checking tension and blocking out items. Pins with coloured heads are best because they do not get lost in your work.
