ruana pattern and knit

Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. Anyone who has anything to do with knitting will know the importance of knitting yarns.

More resilient yarns are more forgiving of irregularities in tension; highly twisted yarns are sometimes difficult to knit, whereas untwisting yarns can lead to split stitches, in which not all of the yarn is knitted into a stitch. In the more complex double knitting, two or more yarns alternate repeatedly within one row and all the yarns must be carried along the row, as seen in Fair Isle sweaters. Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns.

Now count the stitches, if they are all there, turn the right knitting needle around and put it in the left hand. Sport weight yarns are also used in the machine. The strength of the spun yarn against breaking is determined by the amount of twist, the length of the fibers and the thickness of the yarn.

You will have only one new stitch from two. So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting.
