Knit creations is knitting from Habu kits. If you can’t get the kit then you can try this method for this scarf – or textile with a cone of A-20(silk wrapped stainless steel) and a cone of A-33 (fine merino wool). And using one needle size (I used US6 instead of all 4 recommended various needle sizes) I knit a rectangle scarf, 60% of which using both yarns and 40% using silk wrapped stainless steel. Hand felt it in a sink and stretched it a bit, as it has shrunk. Because those fiber materials are so unique you can give it any shape you desire later, you can consider it as a play dough, experiment with it, make it a wearable piece of art!
And this gorgeous jacket using this Habu kit
and strikker is making cute little hats
