Leave in the freezer for a few hours before taking it out and shaking it again.Ĥ. Place the garment in a plastic bag and put it in your freezer - the temperature will cause the fibres to become less attached to each other, and excess fibres will come off easier.ģ. NOTE: do NOT use a lint roller, brush or any method that pulls at the yarn.Ģ. When the garment is finished (before you wash it) shake it vigorously so the looser hairs come off.

It’s therefore not possible to guarantee that there will be no sheddingīelow are some tips on how to get the best result when working with hairier yarns:ġ. Shedding also depends on what is worn under or over the garment, and whether this pulls at the yarn fibres. Brushed yarns (ie hairier yarns) have more of these loose, excess fibres, causing more shedding. See DROPS video: How to make a gauge tension swatchĢ1) How do I prevent a hairy garment from shedding?Īll yarns will have excess fibres (from production) that might come off as lint or shedding. See DROPS lesson: How to measure your tension/gauge As long as you achieve the same knitting tension you can replace one yarn with another. The knitting tension also determines which yarns can replace each other. If you work with a different knitting tension than provided you will have a different yarn consumption, and your work will have different measurements than what the pattern suggests. You adjust the knitting tension with the needle size, which is why the suggested needle size only serve as a guide! You need to adjust this (up or down) to ensure that YOUR knitting tension matches the knitting tension provided in the pattern. The knitting tension is very individual some people knit/crochet loosely while others work tightly. It is provided like so: number of stitches in width x number of rows in height - eg: 19 stitches x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm. Knitting tension is what determines the final measurements of your work, and is usually measured per 10 x 10 cm. Work 1 row with tr along one short side and one long side so that the entire blanket has a black edge.ġ) Why is the knitting/crochet tension so important? Sew squares tog with small stitches in front loop of outermost st to avoid a chunky seam. Place the squares with 5 squares in breadth and 8 squares in height. Work 40 domino squares - read TIP FOR SWITCHING THREADS. Work DOMINO SQUARE - see explanation above - switch to Delight after 2nd row. To make the colour transitions in Delight pretty when switching ball, it is important to find a ball that starts with the same colour last ball ended with.Ĭast on 73 sts with Alpaca on needle size 3.5 mm. dec 2 st in the middle of the square on every other row until 1 st remains, cut the thread and pull it through remaining st.ġ Domino square should measure approx.
