The Knitty Yarn Roundtable was created to give knitters more information about yarn than just what's on the ball band. Once a month, up to 30 knitters gather in Toronto [the hometown of Knitty's editor] at The Purple Purl to sample a variety of yarns of every possible description -- from budget to super luxury. The events are open to anyone who can attend, and are advertised on the Knitty blog and the dedicated Yarn Roundtable blog. [Want to come? Visit the blog and sign up!] Knitters bring their own needles and yarn companies of every size send in yarns they want our readers to try. Five different yarns from five different manufacturers are sampled at each event by all knitters present who provide their opinions on a standardized form. Yarn manufacturers vary from Etsy-based hand dyers, large companies and anything in between. As long as the yarn is available to be ordered through the internet, we want to test it! Yarns that did not receive good feedback will not be featured in Knitty, in accordance with our review policy, so if you see a yarn on these pages, it means the majority of knitters liked it, found it interesting or surprising! Yarns are listed below in alphabetical order by yarn name. This issue's reviews include feedback collected from five different Roundtable events.
Each yarn
is
rated on scale of 1-5 in a variety of categories. Editor's
note: All
swatches shown were knit by the same knitter
using what she felt
