Crafty Yarn!


Knitty Styles and Gadgets

It is interesting to see
just how many different
forms of "yarn craft" are found
aside from the standard knitting with
needles, and crochet.
I have put together a list of some
of the other styles of knitting
found -

Knitting/Weaving loom
- children's sets and for
adults, made in various shapes and
sizes by various
makers - also can be given a
novel name. One example is "Weave-it".

Daisy Wheel, Daisy-Loom,
made of metal,
produces a daisy flower, many
of these sewn together will make
afghans, blankets, scarves.
- made by various makers.

Boutique Knitter,

the spool knitter and is
used for making jewellery.

Spool Knitter,
produces a cord and

a cotton spool with
four nails hammered into
