In this episode, we talk about our experiences substituting yarn in your handknit sweaters, understanding the drawbacks and limitations of single-ply, and the value of knitting forever vs. creating something beautiful but more ephemeral.
Hypatia, Bess's new sweater, can be found on her website.
Bess knit her rich pinky purple sample in BFL DK from Forest Lane Fiber Co.
Bess knit her neutral sample in Berroco Remix Light.
Jen's 'chatty" sweater is Classic LBD, and it will be ready in April. Sneak a peek here.
What's a gleaner? This tool removes pills and fuzzies from your sweater.
A sweater like Letters From the Open Road (for adults) or Letters To Camp (for children) is knit in a dense gauge, and is less likely to pill.
Bess & her testing team are working on the Jane dress - sneak a peek on IG.
