Circular knitting machine yarn test Tweed Delight from Hobbii!
Channel: LTM
Date: 2023-04-20

In this video, I'm knitting with Tweed Delight (in the colourway #04 Black opal) from Hobbii to see how it goes in my Addi 46 needle circular knitting machine. Let's see how this yarn performs; will there be any dropped or tucked stitches? 

Instead of just making a swatch I'm using this yarn to make a double brimmed, single layer beanie. I use the instructions from Mary of @CalumetKnits.

These machines can be fussy about what yarn they like, and I was having difficulty finding a list of yarns I could easily purchase here in Australia. so I started a series of videos where I test yarns that I can access (we don't have Michaels or Joanne's here in Australia).

Check out how other yarns perform in either my Addi or Sentro (or both!) circular knitting machines by visiting the playlist.
