Having fun with sock knitting yarns
Posted on
Fun with Sock Knitting Yarns I love the work by Norwegian designers Arne and Carlos. It's playful and quirky and always fun! In this video, Arne and Carlos show how to use multi-coloured sock knitting yarn to create a little doll's sweater.  We offer a self-patterning sock knitting yarn quite similar to the one used by Arne and Carlos at www.iwoolknit.com.au. The yarn is designed to create beautiful fair-isle style patterns without having to change colours.Â
