Ladder Yarns are Popular Because They're Beautiful
Your website encouraged me to pick up a project that I had given up on. Now I am ready to give up again. I am trying to knit a shawl using Eros Drifters yarn. I cannot figure out how to knit with it. Can you help with this?

Hi Pat,
I've only used railroad track or ladder yarns like Eros Drifters to make fiber necklaces. I found ladder yarn difficult to use even for such a simple application, so I had to consult some yarn experts.
See what I learned in Ladder Yarns are Stunning but Not Easy to Knit.
As I said, ladder yarns are stunning!
So *that's* what those yarns are called! I've been calling them ribbon yarn, but I knew that wasn't right.
ReplyDeleteThey're a type of ribbon yarn, Cyndi. So you're correct.
ReplyDeleteThey're also called trellis yarns and some people even have swear words for them ;-)
But they make gorgeous projects once you learn to work with them
I'm going to give it another go.
