NICOLA COCKETT	2007年 11月 21日水曜日 6:24:53 pm I have just taken delivery of my first order, and I clean forgot to think about asking for the yarn to be wound into balls. I can of course wind some balls myself (or rather my partner has a wondeful skill in this very area!!), but do other people knit straight from the cone? Thanks Nicola
Susan Hart	Help with identifying yarn 2008年 10月 21日火曜日 4:58:19 pm I've inherited a lg cone of yarn that is only labeled 5/33/2 wool. I'm assuming the "2" refers to the ply but the other numbers are a mystery. I've never knitted with any yarn so fine but since I've got it I may as well jump in and give it a try. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you.
DANETTE TAYLOR	knitting from cones 2008年 10月 11日土曜日 10:10:49 pm I just finished an outrageously beautiful sweater using a strand of the angora/lambswool and a strand of the DK merino held together. When I receive my yarn orders that are cones, I always wind them into skeins on my swift, tie them in several places and wash them. I use Dawn dish soap to wash (This is to ensure all oils are gone) and then my final rinse is with Snuggle fabric softener - not only makes the yarn even softer, it smells yummy. Then hang to dry in front of a fan. Then I have to wind them back into balls - but by then, my yarn is clean, super fluffy, pre-shrunk and smells great. I have found that without washing first, my gauge can be wrong, since the yarn blooms so nicely after it's washed. I enjoy reading all of your tips and seeing the beautiful pictures! Danette
Monique Boonstra	Knitting from the cone. 2008年 4月 11日金曜日 9:55:32 am Hi, I've never knit from the cone before, but I saw on the blog by MissAliceFaye (Ravelry) that she uses a glass pot/bowl to keep the cone clean and stop it from tipping. I guess. I've ordered mine last week, hope I don't have to wait to long, but i'll try it myself. MoniqueB. This post relates to the following product: カシミア65％　シルク35％　極細
Laura Donham	Knitting from Cones 2008年 3月 31日月曜日 11:49:53 pm Here are some suggestions on how to work with cones: One person suggested making a cone holder - Can't remember the link, but you can look through blog. The other option is to purchase a paper towel holder (measure to make sure cone will slide/fit onto it.
