Techniques
Charleston can be worked with relatively thin knitting needles and crochet hooks. It’s also highly recommended for weaving, embroidery and macramé projects.
Tips
With knitting needles: Both stockinette stitch and more textured, openwork stitches look beautiful. However, knitting with this yarn can be challenging as it tends to lean and doesn’t stay straight. We suggest shaping the finished pieces with pins and steam blocking until you achieve the desired look.
With crochet: Crochet stitches help keep the yarn in place correctly. Single crochet creates a nice, compact finish, but it’s also easy to work with other more intricate stitches.
