Wool is first carded- the fibers are combed so they are in parallel lines, then spun- twisted in yarn (fat threads). The yarn is woven by passing strands of yarn over and under other strands of yarn. This is usually done using a device known as a loom- and a shuttle. The loom holds the non-moving yarns, and the shuttle carries the strand that is being woven above and below the non-moving strands.
What is the difference of double yarn and single knitting yarn?
"Double knit," refers to the weight or thickness of the yarn. Double knit is between sport weight and worsted weight. It is named for the knitting technique that most often calls for this weight: double knitting. Double knitting is the knitting of a two sided fabric that is reversable with a two color pattern on one side and the negative of that pattern on the reverse side. It is called double knitting because both sides are knit at the same time on one set of needles. "4 ply" refers to the number of individual strands twisted together to form a yarn. A yarn with two strands is called "2 ply," and so on. The number of plies determines, to a degree, the fluffiness or smoothness of a yarn. Yarn with more plies is generally smoother and less fluffy. The number of plies does not determine the weight or thickness of the yarn. It is possible to have a double knit yarn that is also 4-ply, or to have a thicker yarn that is has more or fewer plies. The same is true with a thinner yarn.
When knitting with two strands of yarn is there any way to keep the yarn from tangling so much?
