DHG | JUTA - Spring

When crocheting, the jute determines the clear definition of the stitches and gives stability to the work. The hook slides easily between the stitches and, thanks to the spiral-wrapped construction, the yarn stays compact and allows fast crocheting.

When knitting, the stitches move smoothly along the needle without the risk of slipping. In stockinette stitch, the stitches look regular and well connected, creating a smooth, elegant fabric. The first few rows after casting on may tend to curl, and the side edges, while well aligned, may slant slightly to the right, but you can easily straighten them with your hands as you work. In stitch patterns, stockinette can be combined with eyelet motifs and cables for highly textured, design-focused effects. Ribbing is not recommended because the yarn is not elastic enough.

With crochet, you can use not only single crochet but stitches of any height, because having several yarn overs on the hook is not a problem. You can also work filet crochet, with double crochets alternating with chain stitches, for example for curtains and cushions.

On the loom, it works very well with a rigid heddle reed sett 24:10 cm.
