Stylecraft "Gypsy" yarn.

May 31, 2005 7 Replies

Hi everyone,



my wife bought some of this yarn with a pattern, does anyone know of a technique for knitting this yarn so that all the "fluffy" bits are on the right side of the garment?



Thanks in anticipation!


Seems like all the interesting bits of "designer" yarn stay on the wrong side, doesn't it. I don't know what the finished item will be, but perhaps wearing it inside-out will be an option...

I don't know this yarn, Ian, but I find that knitting "reverse" helps me with the furry yarns. HTH Katherine

Thanks Katherine, do you mean purl every stitch instead of knit?

This is the yarn, although the pics aren't very clear, all the "hair" comes from one side of the yarn, like a fringe:

It's a multicoloured one, with only short stretches of each colour, to give a mottled, rather than striped effect.

We're off to Bonny Scotland tomorrow for a week, she'll hopefully have time to have a go at it then.

Thanks again for your help! :O)

My pleasure. Let us know how it turns out.
