Description: Learn a new knitting technique - prevent knitting injuries and become a master in purling! Program: WS level: Beginner Materials to bring: Knitting needle (circular or double pointed needle) of 4mm or 4,5mm. The yarn that you will work in the workshop will be gifted by one of the sponsors of the festival. Homework: No Language: English, spanish and portuguese.
In this technique the yarn is tensioned around your neck, or a knitting pin, and the way you make the stitches is slightly different. This method is a great choice for people experiencing pain from throwing or picking in other styles because only a little movement is needed to form the stitches (just a small flick on the left thumb). It will help you go much faster when purling lots of stitches and if you like complex colorwork you will love this knitting style - it’s easier to get an even gauge and the yarns never get tangled!
