Hi, this is Purring Yarn.
Sit, relax, and knit with cats
🧶 Favourite fibre?
Merino or any nature fibre that does not scratch my finger.
🧵 Favourite yarn weight?
Fingering and DK weight! I like knitting my own closet and I prefer the look of delicacy and fineness.
🪡 Picker or thrower?
Both. I started with English knitting as a beginner, but quickly switched to continental as it was quicker for me. I’m interested in speed knitting and always exploring different styles along my knitting journy. Now I mainly knit with English flicking, but when doing colourwork I knit in two-handed fair isle by using both flicking and continental.
🌀 Magicloop or DPN?
I love both. For sock knitting, I mostly use 9" circular these days so I rarely need to choose between magic loop or DPN. I like the portability of magic loop but I also appreciate the less-wrangling of DPN. I also tried other alternatives like two circulars/flexible DPN but not a fan.
✨ When did I start knitting?
I learned knitting during COVID-19 pandemic and quickly fell in love with it :)
