So, to try it out, I bought some Moda Vera Clermont yarns from Spotlight. It is 75% wool, 25% polyamide, and comes in 4 colour mixes: Purple Mix which I bought, as well as the Red Mix on the left of the photo below, Pink Mix on the right and a Rainbow Mix not in the photo.
I have read somewhere that you will need 2 balls of the Clermont yarns to arm knit a scarf. However, I ended up with some leftover yarns from the second ball as I didn't want mine to be too long. Here is the video clip that taught me how to arm knit:

...and this is what I knitted!

I am now a little tempted to french knit different combination of yarns and arm knit them into more chunky scarves!
Looks quite nice!! I like the color too!!
ReplyDeleteI just tried this with another vera moda wool and whilst I'm not loving the results (the wool is just not right for this), the video you shared is the only one I've seen so far that has made sense to me/enabled me to arm knit! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteI'm using Clermont red mix to loom knit at the moment. It's coming out beautifully! I just wish there was more super chunky/bulky yarns like this easily available.
