+ I see the new Twirl from Elle has hit the SA market.What do you use it for and do you have any patterns?
We have had the same product under the Panda name last year already. It has become popular as it is easy to knit with. Size 8 mm knitting needle and knit in the top hole and you have a scarf in no time , it can be used to make scarfs, decorate tops or blouses even jewellery as beads can be sewn on as well as many other decorative purposes. We are working on other patterns as the only one available is for a scarf
+ I am knitting scarves with the Elle Twirl yarn and one of the scarves that I finished knitting and cast off, is falling apart. I'm assuming from the end that I cast off. What could I be doing wrong? Please help :-(
The casting off is exactly the same as with normal yarn
Knit 2 stitches
Take 1st stitch over 2nd stitch
You have one stitch on right needle
knit next stitch (Have 2 stitches now)
Take 1st stitch over 2nd stitch
1 stitch remaining
secure yarn left over through the loop secure it and work it in
Please let me know if this helps you

+ Can you tell me what are the best size needles and amount of stitches to cast on for a simple scarf.
The trend is a bulky loose scarf. If You are using a Double Knit yarn then try a 4.5mm Knitting needle and about 20 - 25 stitches depending on the thickness you would like. If you are using a Chunky Yarn then use a 6mm knitting needle and between 18 - 22 stiches depending on the thickness you would like
+ How many stitches and size needle are best to make a scarf out of Elle Twirl?
For a twirl scarf use a 10mm knitting needle and 10 stitches. If the needles are too large you may use a smaller knitting needle but not smaller than an 8mm needle
+ How do you crochet with elle twirl yarn.
To crochet with the Elle Twirl tends to be very tricky. We have however found an easier way by knitting the Twirl on the mini round looom
+ Do you have any patterns available when using the various looms?
