This 2kg pack of assorted yarns are designed to work with Rachel John's Extreme Knitting Needles, also available to purchase from Create and Craft.
Mixing so many strands together gives the opportunity to blend many colours and types of fibre in a creative and painterly way. The resulting fabric is deeply comfortable, hard wearing, totally luxurious; creating heirloom quality textiles.
If you are new to knitting, it is very easy to learn the techniques needed on the large tools, as you can see what you are doing.
These patterns are very simple to follow and with everything you need in the kit you do not need to worry about buying anything else to complete your project - a pattern is included in this kit for a fantastic bedside or bathroom mat which takes 2-3 hours to complete.
Contents:
- 2Kg Mixed Yarn - contents vary with content mix which includes some or all of pure wool, cotton, acrylic, other man made fibres *
- 1 x A4 card pattern sheet for a bedside or bathroom mat
* 5 colour varieties available
Rachel John invented the process of mixing multiple strands of yarn with large wooden tools 10 years ago - and has been pushing the boundaries ever since to discover where this new way of crafting takes you.
She uses between 3 and 150 strands to create fabulous carpets, throws, cushion covers and much more. All of which are made in one piece in a matter hours and days, rather than weeks, months or years!
