I Made Handspun Socks on a Knitting Machine from 1908

Learn to create handspun socks using an antique 1908 knitting machine in this comprehensive fiber arts tutorial. Explore the complete process from yarn preparation through finished socks using two distinctly different handspun yarns: a consistent four-ply spun on spindles and a characterful chain-plied yarn from 2021. Master yarn preparation techniques including grist calculations and wraps per inch measurements, then discover how to select colorways that complement rather than compete with your yarn's natural variations. Follow along as the instructor demonstrates dyeing processes that create spooky, witchy color schemes perfect for seasonal sock making. Gain practical insights into yardage calculations essential for sock projects, drawing from extensive sock machine experience shared through Patreon projects. Watch the transformation of raw handspun materials into finished socks while learning to work with yarn inconsistencies as design features rather than flaws, complete with tips for achieving speckled effects and managing unexpected color outcomes.
