For hand embroidery, you might be able to use a lace weight or other thread-weight yarn.
You can use wool yarn in any of the needle arts, including weaving, crochet, needlepoint -- and knitting.
double knitting wool is lighter in weight then aran so the gauge will be wrong . the answer is No.. BUT there are aran knitting patterns made for dk or double knitting yarns ( sirdar makes some) just buy an aran pattern designed specifically for dk yarn
I have 16 balls of Azalea patonised knitting and crochet wool here and when I untwist it it becomes 2 strands....which in reading some of the other things about wool its actually 4 ply....now I am looking for a fairly plain simple knitting pattern to use it on.
Cross stitch is a form of embroidery. (Cross stitch designs are done on grids, so they look like they might be for knitting. You could probably use some cross stitch designs for intarsia or fair isle color knitting.)
The number of balls of wool and the ply to use is usually given in the knitting pattern. A test swatch is a good way to ensure there are the same stitches and rows as stated in the knitting pattern. When I was knitting (many years ago) balls (skeins) of wool was given in ounces!
It is used in the knitting and craft industry as a cheaper alternative to real wool. However that is only a small area of use - it would not be referred to in that way in other fields.
Yarn, embroidery floss, and other cotton or wool related items would be perfect.
Intarsia is a method of knitting with different colours where the coloured wool strand is cut when its use in the pattern is finished, and the strand is not - as usually happens - carried behind the knitwear.
You can knit or weave with most any fibre. You can weave with a mix of fibre weights more easily than you can mix fibre weights in knitting. Fibres you can use include cotton, wool, silk, linen, bamboo, or man-made fibres.
The best way to clean embroidery patches is to have them dry cleaned or to use a home dry cleaning kit. Some patches are okay to be hand washed but one should use filtered water if they are in a hard water area.
Once you understand how the knitting machine operates, its capabilities and limitations, with practice, a knitting machine becomes easy to use.
Yes, so long as the pegs are secured into the hand-tool.
