YOU DON’T HAVE TO USE SLUB YARN - Any Chunky Yarn Will Work Well.

So I’ve learned about a novelty art yarn called Slub. If I was only allowed 2 words for it I would say that it is Beautifully Crude. It is a technique that come about by mistake. New spinners couldn’t get their tension right and created an uneven, lopsided fiber. Now it’s made on purpose. This unrefined product gives a really unusual and interesting texture to your knitting. I loved it. I instantly thought I needed to design a Slub Yarn Slouchy and why not go one step further and make the matching cowl. The problem was loom knitting this crazy yarn with both extreme of thickness, way to thin sometimes and way to thick other times.

I case you didn’t read my last post, well I did find a solution and follow the link for the pattern for the hat and the cowl with a step by step video for the slouch hat.
