When I first started knitting with a single thread, it was thinner than the thread I usually use, so I compared knitting with various crochet needles (0.35 / 0.4 / 0.45). It didn’t feel right, so after that, I knitted with commercially available threads (silk, cotton) of various thicknesses and colors. I tried a work that was knitted with 2 strands and a work that was woven with a mixture of 1 strand and 2 strands. I was very surprised by the tension and strength of Wild Silk, which is not found in the threads I usually use. The shape of the flower is determined by the characteristics of the thread, so I feel that the shape was born from this thread, which is different from usual. Because of the low twist of the yarn, when knitting with thin needles, the yarn was sometimes broken and the needle was pricked.
