Knitting
Knitting is a method by which wool or yarn may be turned into clothing or garments. Knitting consists of loops called stitches which are basically pulled through each other. The active stitches are held on a knitting needle until another loop can be passed through them. Knitting can be done by hand or by machine. By hand, there are several styles and methods. Flat knitting, which can be done on two straight needles or a circular needle, produces a length of cloth, while circular knitting, which is done on circular or double-pointed needles, produces a seamless tube.
Different yarns and knitting needles may be used to achieve different end products by giving the final piece a different colour, texture, weight, or integrity. Using needles of varying sharpness and thickness as well as different varieties of yarn adds to the effect. The Korbond knitting range provides a suitable selection of needles and accessories for beginners and experts alike. The 35cm knitting needles, in aluminium, plastic and bamboo are sized from 3.25mm to 10.0mm offering the freedom to create a lightweight or chunky garment depending upon seasons and fashions.
