Garmisch is our first project for handspinners. We will infrequently add such projects to SiriKind. Knitters who spin their own yarn will find detailed instructions and project notes on the type of yarn spun, including fiber used, fiber preparation, wpi of singles and plied yarn, twist angle, ply angle, spinning style, ypp, etc. We follow the style of popular handspinning magazine notes to make sure you get all the information you need, and each project contains several high-resolution color images of the yarn preparation. And - of course - the complete knitting pattern for the project shown.
Garmisch features instructions on how to spin a self-striping yarn from painted roving that is suitable for a small project like this, and how to full a knitting project to achieve a denser, sturdier fabric. The easy knitting project is worked on straight #6 needles in separate pieces and features a crochet finish.
