“When sewing up your purse, be sure to

use a blunt needle so that you don’t

pull or catch your knitted pieces.”

KNITTING
To use your yarn double,
simply take two strands, hold
them together and treat them
as one strand when you knit.
As this is a colour-change
yarn, it’s possible to create
diferent efects with two
strands. Start by winding of
45g of yarn into a second ball.
If you want a mixed ombré
colour, start knitting with the
loose end. If you want to
match the colour, rewind the
second ball, then adjust your
start point so it matches the
colours on the original ball.
