Tue, 30 October 2007 This week its knitting time First, Marlena will share her Rhinebeck experience with Us Then, Jessica will share her passion for knitting, being my guest muse this week. In regards to my puff sleeved Cardigan that is getting a little piling under the arm hole area the Tech knitter advise me on the subject "Sadly, the best way to avoid pilling is to work in wools which do not pill--longer-staple, tightly twisted wools. A good example is Dale Heilo. However, these "utility" wools are not as popular as softer, more luxurious wools such as cashmere, for example. Paradoxically, the softer (and pricier) the wool, the more pilling is a problem. You can solve the problem with your sweater by shaving it using a sweater shaver made for the purpose, or by using a sweater stone, and this will solve the problem in the short term. However, as you correctly point out, further wear, further pilling and further de-pilling will eventually weaken the fabric itself. If a weak spot is developing in a limited area, you can duplicate stitch over it, but this is not a perfect solution, either, as you have a nearly double thickness of fabric (could be uncomfortable under your arm) and it also looks odd where the duplicate stitch patch ends. Sorry that the news is not better..." send comments to inspirationalwednesday@gmail.com Have a very Spooky Halloween!!! Comments[0] |
