Recommended handling and usage of sock yarn

Hello, I'm Hodokiya Ito, a staff member of ITORICOT.

Today I'll be talking about how to properly handle sock yarn and some accessories you can knit with it!

ITORICOT's Mottainai Yarn (which sounds like a Kansai dialect word) is made from many very thin strands of yarn.
For sock yarns that are wound in a cone, it is easier to find the ends of the yarn.
When you pull the thread, pull gently and slowly.
If you pull it too quickly, it may get tangled with the thin threads in the bottom roll...
Also, when it comes to small rolls, I think it's better to start knitting by pulling the end of the thread from the inside towards the outside to prevent the thin thread from getting tangled.

Well, if they get tangled, they'll untangle themselves☺️

Oh, is there anyone who rewinds cones using thread spools they have?
The trick to wrapping is to wrap it while "gathering the strands together" and with "just the right amount of tension."
(If there are many people who are wondering what this is all about, I will make a video... 😅)

If it gets tangled while you're wrapping it... I'll come back to untangle it😁

The trick, or rather the thing to pay attention to when knitting, is to make sure to pick up the yarn firmly.
I was knitting well when I suddenly looked at my knitted piece...
What? I can't catch the thin thread! (At least for me)
Even if you think you are picking it up properly, it's a good idea to check every few stitches, and once you get used to it, after a few rows, to check if there are any loops that you haven't knitted. (Yes, I'm knitting carefully.)

Now, sock yarn is wound as thread for knitting socks,
As someone who only knits small items, I find myself wanting to try knitting something different!
The untie and recommendation are,
Shawls, hair bands, hats (fun to knit),
Leg warmers, neck warmers, and other items to keep you warm (for now, the neck lol),
Bottle holders (at one time I always knitted them with any yarn),
Pochette (these days it's cool to call it a sacoche)
Etc.
Any knitting method is fine, but you can also create a cute look with a simple stockinette stitch, rib stitch, or even single or double crochet stitches if using a crochet hook.
If you have any leftover yarn from knitting socks, you can use it to make cute motifs or tassels.

Please try!
