Need Help?Knitweave Fun - Replay Live Archive
The often over-looked technique of Knitweave creates beautiful knitted fabrics with lots of possibilities.
Unlike traditional weaving, think of weaving on the machine as "laying-in" a second yarn on top of the knitting.
It is a decorative technique that can be used to create interesting textures with any machine and incorporate yarn that may not be suitable for your machine.
Have a small amount thick, fancy (possibly expensive) yarn? Use it in your machine knitting with Knitweave!

Checklist:
- Use 2 yarns - Weaving yarn can be novelty or heavier than normal
- Knit at a looser tension 1-2 numbers looser
- Select patterning needles either automatic or manually
- Do not engage patterning buttons or levers
- Engage weaving brushes (if available) If not - manually wrap weaving yarn
- Neat edges for seaming: Wrap 2nd needle from the edge with the weaving yarn - leaving a plain seaming stitch
- Always position the weaving yarn AHEAD of the working yarn (transfer from side to side)
- Try different combinations of stitch patterns: Lace and weaving - Needles out work
- Get creative and enjoy!

| Abi B hello |
| Jacqueline O For garments, just the bands in knitweave. |
| Ela R This is what I found...from Britannica.com: Raschel knits have a lacelike, open construction, with a heavy, textured yarn held in place by a much finer yarn. Raschels can be made in a variety of types, ranging from fragile to coarse, and usually have limited stretch. |
| Nancy M that old brother stitch book had lace done with weaving |
| Karyn B That might look much more like a loom's weaving if you leave eon out of work. |
| S O Hi. To get a nice finished edge when weaving, even if your pattern does not select it go ahead and pull needle next to end needle and put yarn betwee needle 1 and 2 instead of over end needle.. You will get nice finished edge. |
| Jean S Raschel knitting is a type of warp knitting using several types of knitted fabrics.. Usually there is (according to the definiation) severy guide bars. |
