Hi, this is Purring Yarn.

🧶 Favourite fibre?
Merino or any natural fibre that does not scratch my finger.

🧵 Favourite yarn weight?
Fingering and DK weight! I like knitting my own closet and I prefer the look of delicacy and fineness.

🪡 Picker or thrower?
Both. I started with English knitting as a beginner, but quickly switched to continental as it was quicker for me. I’m interested in speed knitting and always exploring different styles along my knitting journey. Now I mainly knit with English flicking, but when doing colourwork I knit in two-handed fair isle by using both flicking and continental.

🌀 Magicloop or DPN?
I love both. For sock knitting, I mostly use 9" circular these days so I rarely need to choose between magic loop or DPN. I like the portability of magic loop but I also appreciate the less-wrangling of DPN. I also tried other alternatives like two circulars/flexible DPN but not a fan.

✨ When did I start knitting?
I learned knitting during COVID-19 pandemic and quickly fell in love with it :)

✏️ How did I start knitting design?
Along my knitting journey, I noticed I almost always modified the patterns I knitted, so I finally found the courage to design my own. I’m drawn to feminine and elegant designs. Here you’ll find my Patterns, Studio Notes on the design process and the work behind it, and the Projects I knit along the way.

🚊 Favourite type of projects during travel/commute?
Socks!
