Supplies and Matterials

  • Standard Gauge Knitting Machine

    In this course I'll be using a Brother brand standard gauge machine but will show you how to also knit on a singer/studio/silver reed machine. No ribber attachment for this course.

  • Fingering Weight Yarn

    Because we are making spa cloths in this lesson, look for a cotton or mercerized cotton yarn in a fingering weight. You'll want 2 colors because you'll learn how to make stripes.

  • Tools

    For this course, you'll need a latch tool, single eye transfer tool, claw weights, flat edge pusher tool (all these come with your machine), a cast on comb (optional), a pair of scissors and a darning needle.
