In this series I will write about preparing, spinning and knitting a pair of mittens in the old Swedish technique of twined knitting.<\/p>\n

Rediscovering an old technique<\/h1>\n

Several years ago, long before I started spinning, I stumbled upon twined knitting<\/a>, also known as two-end knitting (from the Swedish word tv\u00e5\u00e4ndsstickning). It is a very old Swedish knitting technique where you knit with two separate strands of yarn and twist them in between the stitches. This makes a very sturdy and windproof textile that will last very long. Because of the twisting, twined knitting takes a lot<\/em> of time.<\/p>\n

The technique was nearly forgotten, but recreated through a textile find in the 1970’s. A mitten was found, thought to originate from the 19th century, but later found to be from the late 17th century. At first there seemed to be nothing special about the mitten, since it looked like regular knitting from the right side. But when the mitten was turned inside out, it was obvious that this was something different. The inside of twined knitting is dense and ridged, due to the twisting of yarns.<\/p>\n

The responsibility of saving a textile treasure<\/h1>\n

In my woolly heart of 2009, I wanted to take responsibility to help saving this technique.\u00a0Since the technique involves twisting, the best result is given when you knit with a z-plied yarn.\u00a0I bought a skein of z-plied yarn and knitted myself a pair of twined knitting half-mitts.\u00a0I loved them dearly, and one sad day I lost them together with a knit beret on the subway.<\/p>\n

\"A

That’s what happens when you knit one mitten after the other and end up with different sized mittens. Photo by Dan Waltin<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A few years later, as a beginner spinner, I spun a skein of z-plied yarn and made myself another pair of twined knitting mittens. The yarn \u2013 one of my first handspun ones \u2013 was way underspun, but I solved that by felting the finished mittens. These are my go-to mittens that I have worn practically every day for the last five winters.<\/p>\n

Inspiration<\/h1>\n

Now there is a hole in the thumb. I have mended the hole, but I still want to make another pair, for several reasons. In a recent episode of the Fruity knitting podcast<\/a>, there was an interview with Karin Kahnlund<\/a>, master twined knitter, and I got inspired to twine knit again. Another reason is my analysis of spinning direction<\/a>, where I have looked closely at the hand movements when spinning in different directions with different hands (for more posts in the series, look here<\/a> and here<\/a>). As a leftie, this is a perfect opportunity for me to spin counter-clockwise \u00a0with my left hand (pulling the spindle). A third reason is about just getting a second chance at spinning a z-plied yarn.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0new project<\/h1>\n

For this project, I will use the prize winning V\u00e4rmland fleece I purchased at the auction at the 2017 Swedish fleece championships<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s a beautiful, grey lamb fleece with a long staple, soft and almost silky. It is the same fleece I used in my short video of medieval spinning<\/a>, but in the video I used the shorter staples, carded. For this project I will use the longer staples . This V\u00e4rmland fleece has a double coat with longer and shorter fibers (the over coat fibers are roughly 22 cm, the under coat fibers about 14 cm).<\/p>\n

\"Close-up

I am combing each individual staple and spin on a supported spindle from the cut end to catch all the fiber lengths in the yarn (for a closer look at the technique, see my video where I spin with the sheep in the pasture<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Happy spinning!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
