Another way I've seen suggested is to just leave a long loop of yarn at the back of the work, and bring the yarn back around to the beginning of the RS row and keep knitting. That way you can ravel it and have a little extra yarn, just in case... I’ve seen this tip before, but I’d hate to lose all that yarn to cut ends!

It is impossible for it to tarnish as the fiber is a very different medium from polished silver metal objects which have gone through several processes. The silver filament fibers are created through ionization. I would love to try out this yarn :) Hi, I work in textiles and a similar fiber is used in thread form for producing antimicrobial surgical attire.

The process involves the insertion of small filaments of silver, so not to worry and if it tarnishes, I'm sure you'll never notice! :) The silver in this yarn is barely visible to the eye.

Does it really have silver thread in it? Yes silver is good for the body. Can you go through the Airport Security wearing the sweater made out of this yarn? Where can I buy it? I want to make a baby blanket and sweater in natural, blue and pink colors. Thanks! Lakshmi I love this Yarn! Does it really have silver thread in it? Yes silver is good for the body.

Would it be an even number or uneven? Thanks! Hi, can you explain how both of those would be worked in the round, like for a cowl? Would it be an even number or uneven? Thanks!

I just love it. How is the best way to decrease without losing the pattern? Say in the case of knitting a hat with the American Moss stitch? Thanks again!
