Put your colourful double knitting wool to good use this year and stay on top of the fashion trends this season.
Create Chunky Cable Knits and More with Double Knitting Wool
As the temperature drops and the Christmas season approaches, what better excuse to get wrapped up nice and warm in this season's latest designs. Shopping on the high street for winter wardrobe staples can cost a fortune. Invest in double knitting wool and save yourself a bundle.
The Cable Knit - Getting wrapped up to brave the cold is one of life's little pleasures and looking good is easy, even on a budget. Learning how to knit cables can make your woolly jumpers and sweaters stand out. A cable knit jumper is made up of vertically knitted panels bordered by purl stitches that are designed to show off the cable design. If you are new to knitting cables, start off slowly with a small knitted garment such as a pair of mittens or a woollen hat.
The Snood - This is the latest garment on the high street that is a cross between a scarf and a hood that when knitted can enhance your outfit instantly. These garments look stunning in every colour and are ideal for beginners. The design itself makes quite an impact and can be knitted using one block colour. Dig out your double knitting wool and create comfy accessories to keep you toasty this winter.
Create Seasonal Gifts with Double Knitting Wool
Warm winter garments make great gifts for the family and using double knitting wool is a cost effective way of giving fashionable gifts. There are a huge array of gift ideas from knitted toys to stunning scarves. In the weeks up to Christmas, stock up on double knitting wool and surprise your loved ones with knitted gifts for the holiday season.

Texere Troon Aran Wool Felted Bag & Purse Knitting Pattern 004 £1.50 Here is a knitting pattern for a felted bag and purse using Texere Troon Tweed aran. The yarn is used double for the bag meaning you'll have it knitted up in no time and the little purse only uses one ball - so great, quick gifts. The transformation of the non-felted bag when you take it out of the washing machine is brilliant and the rigidity of the bag means it doesn't even need lining! All the shades of Troon are marled or tweedy, so even if you don't want stripes you could achieve a lovely textured effect with very little effort.
