Description ~ Norwegian Purl

The Norwegian Purl, a variation of the conventional Continental purl, is noted for its superior tension control, and ease of execution. The yarn always stays behind the work, making ribbing a breeze and two-color textured knitting a pleasure.

Materials Needed ~ Norwegian Purl

• Two contrasting colors of the same weight yarn, either sport or worsted weight.

• A pair of appropriately sized circular or short straight needles. (Example: Size 4.5 mm or 5 mm for worsted yarn, size 3.75 mm or 4 mm for sport yarn.)
