Sobtanian on Nostr: Quick #knitting question: These socks I shouldn’t be making are using cotton yarn. ...
Quick #knitting question:
These socks I shouldn’t be making are using cotton yarn. I’ve never knitted with cotton before so don’t know what to expect.
I have noticed that the ribbing is exceptionally neat! I can honestly say it’s the neatest ribbing I’ve ever done in my 18 years of knitting!
Nothing has changed, other than the yarn being cotton.
So, my question is, is cotton yarn more forgiving because it’s stiffer? Or is this just one happy coincidence?
