I was just going through some old shelves when i found a kniited cotton shirt, my late mother knitted for herself, than chaged her mind and gave it to my daughter . Now it is on the shelf , still nice. Maybe i should knit myself a simimlar cotton shirt, it is such a nice lacey pattern . When summmer is almost here i always have a wish to knit &crochet cottons , And the new ones are so cute . mirjam
Hi Mirjam, came in here earlier and saw all the spam and was to lazy to jump over it to find the regular posters. I think our warm weather is trying to come but over the weekend we had cold, winter weather with a little snow for Trout Season, which is normal for us.
What types of yarns do you use for your beautiful clothing you knit? I have never used anything but Red Heart and Caron. Also the dishcloth cotton for all that I do. I just am unsure about making anything that can't be tossed in the washer and dryer.
Hallo Linda Lee, I became a bit sad seeing all those spamers and not one friendly post , thank you for reacting I can knit only with Pure materials , wool , cotton , linen , etc,,, I never saw the Makers you mention above! in Our wool shops , we have mostly materials that were brought in by 1-2 importers , than from time to time i see a shop that has some balls from a company whose advertising i saw in a knitting mag.... and than they stop bringing more or have only one color,, One of the Best wools i ever bought was Luna Park [Italian claim you can machine wash it ] fabriacted by Ornaghifilati, the colour was variated greens with some Jeans spots ,,, Lovely i would have bought more in other colors , but they didn`t bring any more . We have Merino , but the name of the importer Teddy`Wool , is on it ???? I had some wonderful Wools that were made in Italy /Turkey but they stoped bring them in , This was one of the reasons i buy sometimes more wool than i need ,, i collect threads, i love at first sight, If i think i will Use them . The cottons go under the name Supper Cotton , thae have images of Blue Swans at each side of this name , and the label says again Teddy`s wool. mirjam
Forgot to tell you i usually wash my knits /crochets in a bowl with baby shampo +luke warm water , rinse in luke warm water than in cold water , let drip in sink or bath . than roll in towel , and let it dry for 2-3 days than hang to dry in aired place without straight sun
ps , water used to wash knits etc is collected in a pail , and can be used either to wash floor etc, or to be used in the toilet . mirjam
