Yarn Rambles

Collection of steeking videos

My apologies! I thought that I had posted all of my Aran Cardigan steeking videos as I went along. Here are all of my little steeking videos from YouTube. Remember, I used Wool of the Andes for my sweater so the steeks are easy to manage. Natural fiber yarns like wool tend to felt up a bit on the cut ends. Traditionally, Fair Isle knitters don't even secure their steeks before they cut because the fine wool felts almost as soon as it is cut!

I hope these videos help you understand the process of steeking. And, that it really isn't scary at all!

I finally finished editing the videos I made while Bob and I were in Ireland. The only technical glitch I hit was that one section was recorded on a landing of our hotel. That segment is quieter than the rest so you may have to turn up the sound.
