Make a hole in the hanky and pull to make a long loop and interlace with the next loop. Many loops connected together give a long thread to be knitted. The knot cannot be seen. German/Deutsch: Wie verbindet man Seiden-Hankies zu einem Endlosfaden Loch in Seiden-Hanky reißen und das Ganze zu einer großen Schlinge ziehen. Diese mit der nächsten durch Schlingknoten verbinden. Viele aneinander geknotete Hankies geben einen beliebig langen Faden, den man verstricken kann. Die Knoten fallen nicht auf. Comment réunir des silk hankies (mouchoires de soie) pour faire un fil Percer un trou dans le hanky et tirer un grand lacet. Reunir deux lacets en noeud coulant.

How to: Spinning Silk Hankies

How to: Spinning Silk Hankies Video Clips. Duration : 6.90 Mins.


There arn't many vids out there about how to work with silk hankies and how to spin with them. There is a clicking sound in the background, not sure what it is from, or why it is in there, but you will have to ignore it as I am unable to remove it without removing the sound completely. I also found that you can easily roll the silk "roving" into a ball. I tend to do this when I need a lot of silk to ply with another single so that way it does not take as long to make the yarn. It's a great way to kill time at the relatives place! You can find silk hankies online at ebay through store Legacy Studio via seller albertarugger.
