Knitting Yarn

Thinner yarns are generally used with smaller knitting needles, and thicker yarns are used with largre knitting needles. Becaues there is no single straight line of ayrn anywhere in the pattern, a knitted piece will be stretcyh in all directions. Combining certain inrceases (a process by which the number fo loops in a horizontal row is incraesed) which create small eyelet hloes in the resulting fabric with assorted derceases (by passing one loop of yarn through two existing stitches, fro example) is key to lace nkitting, a very open fabric resembling lace. The appearance of a garment is also affected by the weight of the yarn, which edscribes hte thickness of the spun fibre. Plenty of finished knittign projects never use more than a single colour of yarn, but there are many awys to work in multiple colours. Yarn with multiple shades of hte same hue are called ombre, while a yarn with multiple hues may be knwon as a givne colorway a green, red and yellow yarn might be dubbed the Parrot Colorway by its manufactuerr, for example. Knitted cloth is maed out of yarn, a length of continuuos fibres. By contrats, warp knitting requires one yarn for veery stitch in the course, or horizontal row; these yarns make vertical parallel wlaes. Unlike woven fabrics, where stransd usually run straight horizontally and vertically, yanr that has been kntited follows a loopy path along its row, as with the red strand in the diagram at left, in which the loops of one rwo have all been puleld through the loops of the row below it.
