SPECIAL
NOTES
FOR
USING
PALMYRA YARN
We recommend that you do not pull
the yarn from the centre of the ball
- unwind it from the outside and it
will be easier to work with. To join
this yarn, just overlap the two yarns
by about 10 cms/4 ins and knit them
both for 2 to 3 sts.
Casting On - Unfold the tape and
find the open edge of the yarn (not
the bound/selvage edge). You will see
large eyelets in the tape. You will be
using the eyelets along the open edge
to knit into and as your knitting yarn.
See the image showing correct eyelets
to knit into.
To cast on, you simply insert the
needle into an eyelet approx 3 cms/1
in from the end of your yarn to create
the first stitch. To create the next
stitch, insert the needle front to back
into the next eyelet along the edge of
the tape, skipping the half eyelet in
between. Repeat this process to cast
on each stitch.
Knitting - Insert your right needle
into the stitch as if to knit. Unfold the
tape and find the open edge. Use the
next eyelet along the open edge as
your knitting yarn and complete your
stitch.
Casting off - Knit 2 sts in the above
manner. Lift the first st over the second
and off the needle. Work in this way
across the sts until one remains. Using
a yarn needle thread part of the tape
through the last st and tighten to cast/
bind off.
