Platting

Platting is when two different yarn colours are knit together. One appears on one side whilst the second appears on the other. This can be done in stockinet or tuck stitch.

Thread the platting yarn feeder as follows:

  1. Move the carriage to one end of the needle bed until the rear of the yarn feeder is visible and open the yarn feeder gate

  1. Put the platting yarn into the yarn feeder and insert a latch tool (or old needle) from the rear and catch the platting yanr. Pull it down beind the yarn feeder and wrap around the post to hold it in place.

  1. Put the main yarn into the yarn feeder as normal and also wrap around the post.

  1. Knit as normal.
