Love wool🧶 and anything made of wool, a part time knit designer who longs to be a full timer. Obsessed with patterns, texture, fit & sizing. Oh! my dogs❤️

Oh sorry there is no pattern. I knit basic mittens and socks without patterns. (This is most basic. 1x1 ribbing, stockinette & gusset for thumb, and ribbing finish) All the numbers in my head. It’s just the result of decades of knitting.

I think you can find basic patterns on Ravelry. 🤔

I have the exactly same yarn and knitted a pair of mittens which I’m wearing now. 😃

BC Garn produces both 100% bourette silk and eri silk yarn. As far as I know there are many stockists in the UK.

Yes. Not the machine one. As another person says here it will make fabric thinner over time. Search Gleener. It’s a hand tool not a battery powered machine. It works very well and better for your precious knits! ☺️

Woohoo~🤩 I already used up my yarn budget. Pls do not tempt me. 😅

I am very surprised to find out now that some patterns suggest only one size and changing needles to up or down the size? 😳
I feel like it’s cheating?!

(I’m not into sock knitting much and have never bought a pattern. I do my own thing when it comes to socks. So I didn’t know that 😓)

From your photo, it looks like woolen spun yarn which means it has no twist. (Most chunky yarns are very likely woolen spun) Those pill a LOT! So if I knit something that I will use heavily, I choose worsted. So I precent pilling in a way. Hope this helps. 😊

Gleener! It’s a fabric shaver. You can’t really prevent pilling. Some wool will less piling than others but they still will. The softer the wool, there would be more chance of pilling.
Anyway, I regularly use a gleener to get rid of it. I even use it for commercially sold T-shirts. 🧵
