Essential knitting materials for a jacquard with separate balls
To avoid tangling the different balls and to make your knitting easier, we recommend using jacquard bobbins for your small balls.
To support you – The Tutorial
To easily knit a jacquard with separate balls, we use bobbins on which we will wind our different colors of yarn blend. You need as many bobbins as there are color changes in the pattern. The threads will not tangle.
Read your jacquard pattern chart carefully and identify its size to know where to start.
On each row, change color by following the grid. At each color change, cross the threads carefully to avoid holes.
Here is a finished row with all the bobbins, without tangled threads.
At the end of knitting, it is advisable to weave the ends of wool onto the needle on the wrong side along the color for 2 or 3 stitches and cut them.
To your needles!
