Try This – Different Yarns
.
This month, I’m playing around with spool knitting. I’m using two different spool knitters…the more traditional French Knitting Bee, and the mechanical Embellish-Knit! Using a variety of yarns, here’s what I got:
With the Embellish-Knit!
Deborah Norville Collection Serenity Sock Weight Yarn – Paprika (Weight – Super Fine 1)
Vanna’s Glamour – Bronze (Weight – Fine 2)
Lion Brand Yarn Fun Fur – Raspberry (Weight – Bulky 5)
Note – This was a big “no-no.” Only thin yarns (3 and below) should be used in the Embellish-Knit!
With the French Knitting Bee
Patons Be Mine – Plushy Pink (Weight – Bulky 5)
Loops & Threads Impeccable – Grass (Weight – Medium 4)
Loops & Threads Impeccable – Summerset Ombre (Weight – Medium 4)
Now, what to do with my knitted tubes?

I LOVE the raspberry fluff! I used the very same wool to make a Faux Fox necklet for my niece for Christmas. It is terrific stuff to work with!
