In this brief article we aim to just give a basic understanding of knitting needles, their sizing and what you need to look out for. In this article, I will attempt to explain some of the basic knitting stitches and everything they encompass.
Circular needles are typically 24-60 inches long, and are usually used singly or in pairs; again, the width of the knitted piece may be significantly longer than the length of the circular needle. Cable needles are typically very short (a few inches), and are used to hold stitches temporarily while others are being knitted. Good quality yarns at lower cost include Aran', Double Knit', four ply, three ply as well as two ply.
For general garment creation, one of the best known kitting yarns is Sirdar'. Animals fibers include silk, but generally are long hairs of animals such as sheep (wool), goat (angora, or cashmere goat), rabbit (angora), llama, alpaca, dog, camel, yak, and muskox (qiviut). The thread used in weaving is usually much finer than the yarn used in knitting, which can make the knitted fabric bulkier and have less drape than a woven fabric.
Get knitting! Be sure to try using other available resources, such as local craft and hobby stores.
