Knit.wear has always explored the combination of luxury and minimalism in knitting and beyond. In this issue, we delve into the finer points of “luxurious minimalism,” PE R PO examining the ways in which this IN T PH OTO R A PH Y G aesthetic has a broad impact, making one a connoisseur of fiber sources, designs, techniques, and most importantly, quality. And speaking of quality, let’s talk for a moment about cashmere. Since I began my knitting life, I’ve pondered the term “soft as cashmere.” I’ve heard it in yarn shops across the country and around the globe, in multiple variations and languages, but the intent is always the same: to put cashmere on a pedestal. Cashmere has been used as a blanket term to refer to luxurious, soft, and high-quality fibers, but so many other beautifully decadent fibers are out there. Could there be another one that is as deserving of praise? Take a journey to Tibet with Sarah Solomon to meet Paola Vanzo, the founder of mYak, and see if fiber from baby yak raised on the Tibetan Plateau can contend for the luxury fiber throne (page 10). Quality is, of course, about more than fiber; it’s about the construction of each garment and accessory we create. And quality always involves the details of finishing. Learn about one of the most essential but overlooked finishing techniques in knitting: the selvedge. In her in-depth tutorial, Larissa Gibson demonstrates the numerous ways to slipstitch your way to a beautiful raw edge (page 52). In our Athleisure collection (page 14), you will find several garments that benefit from a little attention to the edges—as well as comfortable pieces to wear on weekends or in the evenings after a long day. And in our Leather & Lace collection (page 56), you’ll find elevated style equally appropriate for a boardroom or an art gallery opening. And finally, we’ve taken a moment to recognize the quality of purpose and passion, which have inextricably linked our craft to a symbol of modern feminism. On page 120, you’ll find our photo essay documenting the Women’s March on Washington and The Pussyhat Project. Regardless of our personal politics, there is no denying that knitting, hot pink yarn, and peaceful protest have begun a conversation that’s changing the world, and that’s something worth recognizing.

mYak A TIBETAN FIBER JOURNEY BY SARAH SOLOMON

M

ost businesses are started to provide a product or service, but for mYak, a producer of the highest quality baby-yak wool goods, principles and passion came first. Paola Vanzo and Andrea Dominici, two Italians who met while working on nonprofit initiatives on the Tibetan Plateau, founded mYak. The organization was born from their desire to find a commercial venture that would support the survival and growth of rural communities in Tibet. Paola and Andrea wanted to create a project that would not simply be a gift or donation to the community, but a sustainable business with the local people at its center. Their goal was to create a business that treated and compensated its participants well, promoted the traditional way of life in the region, and created a product that could be a source of pride to the community. What they came up with surprised them both and took them in directions they had never anticipated.

A lthough mYak was started in 2011, the company was a lifetime in the making. Grow ing up in a tiny v illage in the Dolomites, Paola Vanzo always dreamed of what lay beyond the mountains that surrounded her home. W hen she was a young girl, a chance encounter with a book of Chinese poetr y sparked a fascination with Asian culture that inspired the paths she took in her adult life. At the University of Venice, she studied Chinese language and culture, eventually completing a master’s degree in Chinese contemporary poetry. Early on in her academic career, she applied for a scholarship to study in China and took her first trip there in 1990. Throughout her university years, she studied and traveled extensively in China, adding to her fascination with Chinese culture a love of its varied landscapes. After completing her studies, she settled in Beijing. She made her living translating and interpreting before working at the British Council, where she held a variety of positions in the Council ’s English as a Second Language (ESL) department, traveling all over China administering exams and managing programs. She then worked on Council initiatives whose goal was to improve the lives of women in China. W hen a career

opportunity presented itself at Trace Foundation, a small nonprofit whose mission is to preser ve and foster Tibetan culture and way of life, Paola moved from Beijing to Lhasa. She spent the next seven years work ing on the Tibetan Plateau w ith farmers, nomads, and teachers to improve health care and education, support rural development, and preserve traditional Tibetan culture. Part of Paola’s work in Tibet involved creating new business opportunities for the local nomads using their limited resources. The Tibetan Plateau is a harsh environment; some parts of it experience frost up to six months of the year, so it is not suited to most kinds of agriculture. W hen Paola asked the nomads about their resources, they had one response: yaks. Experts estimate that domesticated yaks have been in use in Tibet for more than 3,000 years. From these animals, the nomads derive much of what they need for daily existence. Yaks can carr y the nomads’ possessions surefootedly over difficult terrain when the people move to new pastures. Milk from the female yak (dri) is much fattier than cow’s milk and is a vital source of food; the nomads use it to make butter,

Meet mYak

yogurt, and a hard cheese they mix with barley f lour ( barley being one of few plants that can grow in the region) to make a nutritious porridge that is a staple of their diet. A single yak can provide food for many people, and yak hides are used for shoes and leather goods. The yak ’s coarse outer coat is traditionally used to make the nomads’ tents and rope, and yak dung is often the sole source of fuel on the mostly treeless plateau. It is no wonder that the nomads consider yaks their most precious possessions. The word for yak in Tibetan is nor, which means treasure. One Trace Foundation project Paola worked on to bring more economic independence to the nomads was an effort to use yak milk to establish a cheese-making industr y on the plateau. Expert cheesemakers were brought in from Italy to help with the project, along with a veterinarian, Andrea Dominici, who worked to improve the health of the yaks. After several summers spent on the grassland working on the cheese project, Paola and Andrea began discussing alternative projects that might bring greater prosperity to the region. W hen they learned about the extremely soft fiber found in the undercoat of baby yaks under two years of age, they sent a sample to a lab in Italy to have the fiber analyzed. The results were astonishing: the baby yak fiber was as soft or softer than cashmere fibers on the market at the time. With such promising raw material, they decided to embark on their own venture, separate from Trace Foundation but with the shared goal of bringing greater prosperity to the people of the region. Auspiciously, the Chinese government had just passed new legislation that allowed Paola and Andrea to form a cooperative of nomadic herders who hand-collect yak fiber, which the animals shed naturally each year. In order to bring the most money to the nomads, they realized they had to shorten the chain of production, so they decided to eliminate any middlemen and pay the nomads directly in cash for the fiber they collected. Processing the fiber was perhaps the most difficult challenge Andrea and Paola faced. Given their backgrounds as a veterinarian and a nonprofit organizer, they had a great deal to learn about textiles. Andrea comes from the Biella region of Italy, which is famous for its textile mills, so he and Paola naturally sought a mill in Italy to process the fiber. Because yak fiber’s very short staple can be difficult to handle properly, they needed to find a mill that could meet the challenge. Most yak yarns blend yak with other fibers to make it more manageable to spin; one of mYak ’s greatest achievements was finding a way to spin 100 percent pure baby yak into a beautiful, plump, and even strand without adding other fibers. Discovering how to do this gave them control over the sourcing and quality of the fiber— and gives knitters a superior knitting and wearing experience. As Andrea and Paola learned more about what was possible with the fiber, they began to solidify the core practices of their company and its unique identity. The fiber is raised in Tibet from free-roaming animals and bought at a higher-than-fair

price paid directly to the herdsmen. The fiber is then spun and dyed in a small artisanal mill in Italy. To preser ve the beauty and softness of the fiber, mYak uses only natural colors without any bleaching or treatment. Seventy-five percent of yaks in Tibet are a dark chocolate brown color; the remaining 25 percent are a light gray-brown or a light oatmeal color. The decision to use only unbleached fiber meant that any dye had to be applied over the natural colors, most of which are dark. (Having gone halfway around the world to get the purest fiber from people who live off the land, it seemed antithetical to diminish the purity of the fiber with treatments that are harsh on the environment.) These choices produce a limited but uniquely rich palette, with most colors dyed over the chocolate brown and a few over the natural oatmeal color. Conscientious consumers w ill be grateful to mYak for its commitment to low-impact production methods, but knitters have even more to be grateful for: dyeing over unbleached, untreated fiber means that softness and purity aren’t sacrificed. Each color is as beautifully soft as the next. After fiber production was solved, Paola and Andrea focused on product development. They began with a small ready-to-wear collection of woven accessories and later added some knitted pieces. In 2013, mYak decided to venture into the handknitting yarn market. To date, mYak has produced four weights of babyyak yarn: lace, worsted, chunky, and super bulky. The organization has also added a line of lace and worsted-weight cashmere yarn made from goats the nomads raise. Unlike any other on the market, this cashmere yarn has a much longer staple than other varieties, which makes it averse to pilling. In just a few short years, Paola and Andrea have transformed their experience in Tibet and their knowledge and love of the

12 ||

knit.wear

local people into a growing company and yarn with a stor y. Today, the cooperative Paola and Andrea founded involves about 2,500 families each season. Andrea visits Tibet several times a year to check on the animals and the quality of the fiber, as well as to pay the nomads a cash advance for the next season’s fiber. Andrea and Paola are currently working on getting organic certification for their fiber, which would make it the first organic yarn from China. Perhaps most gratifying is the reaction of the nomads themselves when they see the products created from their yak fiber. They have long known how precious their yaks are, but mYak has shared the importance and beauty of these animals with an international audience. Together, Paola and A ndrea continue to seek new ways of uniting two beautiful traditions, bringing fiber from the nomads of Tibet to the famed textile mills of northern Italy. Paola and Andrea invite knitters to be part of this unfolding stor y by using mYak ’s handknitting yarns. As a knitter, I am drawn to yak fiber by its combination of beauty and strength. Garments made from yak are almost impossibly light, but they’re also extremely warm and highly durable. The superiority of mYak ’s fiber, matched with expert spinning, creates a yarn that feels like pure luxur y but wears like a workhorse yarn. These qualities, combined with the transparent production practices and the positive impact of the business on the lives of the nomads, make mYak a compelling choice and a welcome addition to the world of handknitting.

' The hem of this poncho is worked flat in two pieces, then the pieces are joined and the rest of the body is worked in the round to the underarm. The work is divided at the underarm and the front and back are worked back and forth to the shoulders, with the fronts worked separately after the neck is shaped. The fronts and back are rejoined, then work continues back and forth in one piece from the center neck as the shoulders are shaped. ' The Cable chart is worked both in rounds and back and forth in rows. When working in rounds, work every chart row as a right-side row. ' When working shoulder shaping, if there are not enough stitches to work a cable, work those stitches in reverse stockinette stitch instead. Within the

chart pattern, discontinue the blocks of stockinette stitch when they would be close to the shoulder decreases; work these stitches in reverse stockinette stitch instead.

The Chain Selvedge

THE CHAIN BY LARISSA GIBSON

SELVEDGE

T

he chain selvedge forms a tidy decorative edge. It’s perfect for knitted accessories, such as scarves or shawls, that will have a visible edge (instead of an edge that’s hidden in a seam). Each stitch of the chain selvedge spans two rows, making it a great option when stitches have to be picked up along the edge for working a garter-stitch band because the pick-up rate in that case is usually one stitch for every two rows. However, the chain selvedge isn’t the best choice for seamed edges because the stitches tend to be loose and open, resulting in sloppy seams. T he c h a i n se lved ge i s somet i mes refer red to as a “sl ip -st itc h ” selvedge because it involves slipping edge stitches without working them. There is often some confusion among knitters about how the edge st itc hes shou ld be sl ipped when working a chain selvedge because there are so many variations. The stitches can be slipped knitwise or purlwise, with the yarn held in front or in back of the work. In addition, the stitches can be placed at either the beginning or the end of the row. Each of these variations will have a slightly different effect on the appearance of the selvedge. The selvedge will also be affected by the stitches that are worked directly before or after the edge stitch on the same row or in the row above it. In this article, we’ll look at a few different stitch combinations to see how each affects the appearance of the chain selvedge. CHAIN SELVEDGE ON GARTER STITCH (PHOTO 1) For this selvedge, the first stitch of ever y row is slipped purlwise with yarn in front (w yf ). After the stitch is slipped, the yarn is moved between the needles to the back of the work so the yarn is in position to k nit the next stitch. In the process of moving the yarn to the back, the purl bump from the row below also moves so that it is no longer visible. If instead the yarn is moved to the back of the work around the outer edge and then the first stitch is slipped with yarn in back (w yb), the purl bump will be visible on the outside edge.

Row 1 Sl 1 pwise wyf, knit to end. Rep Row 1 every row for patt.

CHAIN SELVEDGE ON STOCKINETTE STITCH (METHOD 1) (PHOTO 2) The appearance of the chain selvedge is inf luenced by neighboring stitches, so a selvedge that is used for garter stitch may have a different appearance when used for stockinette stitch. Row 1 (RS) Sl 1 pwise wyf, knit to end. Row 2 (WS) Sl 1 pwise wyf, purl to last st, k1. Rep Rows 1 and 2 for patt.

With this method, the chain on the left edge often tends to be a little looser than

FIGURE A

the chain on the right edge because on wrong-side rows, after slipping the first stitch, the yarn stays in front so the next stitch can be purled. Bringing the yarn to the back to knit the next stitch on right-side rows snugs the selvedge stitch up a bit more. With the chain selvedge, one leg of the stitch will be longer because it is attached to the row below the other leg of the stitch (Figure A). With the previous method, the right leg is longer on both the right and left edges, but other methods will result in a longer left leg (Figure B). The differences are subtle, but you may find that you prefer one effect over the other. You can even use one type of selvedge on the right edge and the opposite selvedge on the left edge. In the following method, the right leg of the

FIGURE B

selvedge is longer on the right edge, and the left leg is longer on the left edge. CHAIN SELVEDGE FOR STOCKINETTE STITCH (METHOD 2) (PHOTO 3) Row 1 (RS) Sl 1 kwise wyb, knit to last st, k1tbl. Row 2 (WS) Sl 1 pwise wyf, purl to end. Rep Rows 1 and 2 for patt. You can achieve the same chain selvedge a number of ways. Various combinations of knitting and slipping the edge stitch will produce one of the four chain-selvedge stitches to be described. Use the instructions for each to explore the many ways to work a chain selvedge. Make swatches to identify which chain ty pes you prefer and which methods feel the most natural. After you become familiar with each selvedge stitch, mix and match them, working the r ight edge one way and t he lef t edge another way.

If you find that the chain selvedge is still a little too loose, you might prefer one of the following methods, which give the stitch a slight twist. The edge will be a little firmer and less elastic, but these methods can add some stabilit y when the other methods gape.

MACHINE SEWING ON HANDKNITS


||

CHELSEA DOLMAN

It’s easy to insert zippers or add grosgrain ribbon backing to buttonbands—just a few simple tricks make these tasks foolproof. The trick to working with stretchy (i.e., handknitted) fabric lies in manipulating it without stretching it out.

Useful supplies • sewing machine with adjustable presser foot • pins or quilting clips

• tailor’s chalk • basting needle • sewing thread to match the zipper or yarn

• sewing thread in a contrasting color • scissors • seam ripper • steam iron

If your sewing machine has an adjustable presser foot, lighten its pressure. (Even less expensive machines often have a dial or lever for adding and releasing pressure with the presser foot. This feature makes it easier to sew thicker fabric, such as polar fleece.) When you’re sewing onto handknitted fabric, a lighter pressure will keep both layers moving under the needle easily.

stitches get removed. Hand-baste along each side of the zipper using a long sewing needle and thread longer than the zipper in a contrasting color.

caught in the feed dogs, and so that you can see your progress on the right side as you go.

Use pins or tailor's chalk to mark the top, bottom, and center of the zipper and the garment opening to which it will be sewn. Match up the marks, then pin or clip the zipper to the knit edge. This step will help you arrange the knitted fabric evenly without any distortion. (When a zipper is just a little longer or shorter than the garment edge, this method will help you ease the two pieces together.) Position the knitted fabric over the zipper tape precisely. If, for instance, you want the knitted fabric 1⁄8" away from the zipper’s teeth, mark a chalk line on the zipper tape or measure constantly as you baste. Basting holds the layers together securely for a little while; then those

Baste on each side of the zipper tape, placing the knitted fabric precisely and evenly. Find a happy medium between loose long stitches and tiny ones that you can’t see after machine stitching. Because this basting step will make or break the final look of the garment, take the time to do it right. After basting both sides of the zipper, check everything. Do the bottom edges and neck edges line up on the zipper? If there’s any sort of horizontal color or texture pattern, does it align on both sides of the zipper? Are the edges the same distance away from the zipper teeth? Are there obvious spots where the knitted fabric got distorted? Fix any problems now.

If your zipper has hardened plastic ends, like the separating zippers used on this garment, start stitching about 1⁄4" from the end, then backstitch. It’s easier than trying to start sewing on the plastic. Stitch down each side of the zipper, using a zipper foot or a basic presser foot. (For this project, a basic presser foot was used.) On most machines, you can shift the needle position if necessary to stitch closer to the side of the presser foot. Let the machine’s feed dogs do their job—don’t tug or try to force the fabric under the presser foot. Backstitch at the end. Trim the threads. Check everything again, with the zipper open and closed. If you’re satisfied, use the seam ripper from the zipper side to carefully remove the basting thread.

Once you’re satisfied with the basting, set up the sewing machine. Use a longish stitch length (about 8 stitches per inch) just in case you need to unpick anything. Topstitch with the knitted fabric on top and the zipper on the bottom to avoid getting the knitting

Lightly steam or press the sewn area, being careful not to stretch the garment out of shape. Use a press cloth to avoid scorching and never rest a hot iron on plastic zipper teeth, as they could melt.

Notes ' This tank is worked back and forth in pieces and seamed. The lower edging is worked first, then stitches are picked up along the side of the edging and the piece is worked to the top of the lower body. The lower body is bound off using the I-cord method. The upper body stitches are picked up behind the I-cord and then continue upward. ' When decreasing for the front neck, if there are not enough stitches for a full pattern repeat, work these stitches in reverse stockinette stitch instead.

WELLFLEET PULLOVER

Notes ' This pullover is worked back and forth in pieces and seamed. ' A circular needle is used to work the stripe pattern. To avoid breaking and rejoining yarns when working stripes with an odd number of rows, slide the stitches to the end of the needle where the color needed is attached. This may require working two consecutive right-side or wrong-side rows. In the chart, arrows show the direction of knitting for each row, with red arrows indicating the "slide" rows. After completing Row 30, cut the main color (MC) and rejoin it with right side facing at the right edge of the piece, in position to work a right-side row. ' Because of the stripe sequence, armhole increases may occur on both right-side and wrong-side rows. Work an increase row on a right-side row as follows: K3, RLI, knit to last 3 sts, LLI, k3—2 sts inc’d. Work an increase row on a wrong-side row as follows: P3, LLPI, purl to last 3 sts, RLPI, p3—2 sts inc’d.

Place a removable m at both edges of row to mark beg of armhole. Note: Armhole shaping and Stripe Sequence chart are worked simultaneously; read the foll section all the way through before proceeding. Shape armholes: Work inc row (see Notes) on next RS row, then every 4 (4, 4, 6, 6, 6)th row 6 (4, 2, 9, 7, 5) more times, then every 6 (6, 6, 0, 8, 8)th row 3 (5, 7, 0, 2, 4) times—114 (126, 134, 144, 152, 164) sts. At the same time, when armhole measures 11⁄4 (11⁄2, 21⁄2, 3, 31⁄2, 4)", ending with a WS row, beg Stripe Sequence chart. Work through Row 30 of chart, cut MC, rejoin yarn with RS facing, then cont with MC only.
