I went to All the Fun of the Fair (yarn shop in central London) recently and bought a couple of balls of this very soft bobble yarn.
I am using it to make a knitted bag (the fabric was to holey looking when crocheted to make a bag) which I will attach a selection of knitted and crocheted flowers.
I have been using large needles and doing a simple stocking stitch. Its an interesting yarn to use you knit and purl between the bobbles.
The fabric looks great on both sides and is so soft.
I will line the bag and post when I finish (hopefully soon)
I made a scarf with a yarn very similar to this one. Can't wait to see how does you bag look like!
ReplyDeletei knitted my sister a scarf in that stuff. it turns out deliciously, but it was all kinds of fun casting on and off

Hi Joanna
ReplyDeleteJust added a new post for cast on with bobble yarn hope this helps :) Nez
I have been looking everywhere for clear instructions on how to cast on, knit and cast off using this type of yarn and I came across your blog!! Have you considered placing a short video in YouTube, to show us the techniques Even a quick one filmed on a cameraphone would be good!!
