Since materials (chiefly yarn and fibre) and their untold qualities; tactile, soft, bouncy, alive etc., are what we encounter, you could say that our sensory domain is and has been moulded by material interaction. So working with yarn and fibre is a thoroughly rich knowledge and experience-based experimental domain that taps into other forms of intellect, memory, intuition, etc.. Before we can create or design, we need to investigate, communicate, attempt, discover, play, question and challenge. Mostly knit and umravel. The more of our mental ability we bring into ‘the doing' the deeper and more enriching the experience. I think that's why we like to make things.

theHAND WASH
Hand-wash (recommended) Wash and rinse in lukewarm (3o°C) water with mild soap, make sure garment is completely covered - no rubbing or scrubbing. Squeeze out excess water. Roll in a clean towel. \*Dry flat and reshape whilst damp - if this is not possible make sure garment is hung up to dry without distorting the shape (take particular notice of the shoulders). Do not tumble dry. Iron on a cool setting.

the CAMPAIGN FOR WOOL
His Royal Highness (HRH) The Prince of Wales is well known as an environmentalist and has long recognised wool as the first choice fibre for sustainability, durability and quality. HRH has agreed to be the patron of The Campaign for Wool, an initiative based on his drive for universal sustainability. We are pleased to support this necessary campaign to celebrate the natural qualities of the fibre. We encourage you to do the same. info@belindaharrisreid.co.uk www.belindaharrisreid.co.uk Orders/enquiries: 01392 252256
DIFFERENTLY
WHAT IS GAUGE? (also referred to as Tension) - This means stitches per length - usually per 10cm (4").It will be different depending on the yarn, needle size, individual knitter, and stitch pattern. the IMPORTANCE of GAUGE - If you don't know your gauge, you will not know what size your piece will be. Even 1/2 a stitch per cm off can make a difference. Also your knitting tension can change over time, according to how you knit, or even your mood. NEEDLE SIZE - is hugely significant - 10 knitters working with identical yarn and needles will knit at least 1o different amount of stitches per cm.. When working a pattern, it is NOT the needle size that matters - it is the GAUGE or TENSION. Belinda Harris-Reid or her Guest Designers may knit more tightly or loosely than you, so the recommended needle size might be too large or too small for YOU. When you begin knitting a project from one of our patterns please knit a small swatch -- it will only take a few minutes. the SMALL SWATCH - Cast on 2Osts and work 10 rows in stocking stitch. Lay the piece of knitting on a flat surface and measure how many stitches you are getting per 1ocms. If you have more than the pattern states go up a needle size, if you have less go down a needle size.
