Elegant comfort is assured by the combination of the finest strands of luxurious natural fibres for this beautiful quality. It's drape, it's    slight sheen all contribute to its versatility for all types of knitwear for both Machine and Hand Knitting. Most importantly it can also be used for Double Bed Knitting, Crochet, Embroidery and most rewardingly for Weaving, see shawl on right; this adaptable, versatile and durable yarn can be subjected to rigorous treatment without losing its sheen, softness or lustre.

It is exceptionally easy to knit with and the carriage moves across the needle bed 'almost by itself'.

 

CARINO single has a metric count of 2/28, for knitwear it is generally used double (2 strands wound together) and therefore standard cones of 350 and 400g gram are supplied already wound double onto one cone unless requested otherwise.

 

Average requirement for a lady's jumper or cardigan is up 350 g; for a men's jumper or cardigan up to  400 gram with some left over in most cases.

Patterns: Featured below are a few of the CARINO patterns available for Machine Knitting on a standard gauge machine. Having almost the same metric count as ROMA the patterns can be easily interchanged.

For machine knitting the average tension for CARINO wound double is around three up to five on a standard gauge machine.

For Hand Knitting needle sizes 2 to 3.5 mm will produce nice results.

Care instructions: Lukewarm hand wash and steam iron.

Close-up of the Classic Shoulder Line.
Book No.3 in the KNIT TO FINISH series deals in great detail and step-by-step instructions with this famous and celebrated style.
By bringing the shoulder seam to the back a smooth and perfectly fitting shoulder is achieved.
Very often an unsuccessful shoulder seam (together with the neckline) can ruin the whole effort, be that with an ordinary yarn or a quality yarn.

 M 02
A long time favourite with a beautiful neckline and the classic shoulder seam.
