Have been french knitting for some months now in between my usual knitting projects! Love your idea with spool knitting and I've made a multi coloured one in cotton for our new house so thanks slot for the precise easy instructions!❤
Thanks for this. I made a icord with cotton yarn with the intent of making a hot pad for my counter top then couldn't figure out the best way to put it together. This will be perfect :)
This is awesome! I’ve been spool knitting a cord off and on for awhile now and had no idea what to do with the thing now that it is just over six feet long. It’s the perfect colour for my room too! Thanks for the idea!
After watching soooo many videos of rug making, I was ready to give up. Told myself I was cheap and stupid...pay the money, buy a rug and get over it. Sorry, not very pithy, I am complicated person;( Your video so inspired me...I am DOING THIS. Thanx for the clear, easy instruction. Made my day.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I had a great big “rope”; but couldn’t figure out how to make something of it! I am now making myself a rug! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Will be watching your other videos too!
We have a playlist with all of our spool knitting projects and instructions. We have several cute projects you can make with your spool knitter! ua-cam.com/play/PLmfp5aNSxEF0KK2hEpDxLtGeA_HH6uLTU.html
Well done video. I am working on trying to make my first area rug and I’m so happy I seen your video I feel much more confident that I’ll be able to complete my project the way I want it to be.
Wonderful! I'm glad we could help. We have a lot of other spool knitting tutorials and project ideas here: www.needlepointers.com/main/ShowArticles.aspx?NavID=1605
You are so welcome! If you would like to see more items that can be made with spool knitting cord, head over to our spool knitting projects and idea page. There you will find projects like a bracelet, holiday decorations, kitchen items and more. The page is at: www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2201
thanks for this. Clever way to get the original long knitted tube thicker. I, too, use the sugar N cream cotton yarn, variegated. I use one round ball for each length and then brain three full-ball lengths together; then circle or oval them and stitch by hand. They make great yard "doilies" for under vases and things on tabletops. I don't actually think they'd make very good rugs. I came here to watch the whole playlist as I need some ideas of what else to make with the spool knitting process.
As a kid, I also did spool knitting but never knew what to make with it. Since you liked this idea, you may be interested in this page dedicated to free spool knitting projects: www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2201
Thank you for this video on making a French Knitting Rug. I plan on making one in the near future. I’m just wondering what type of yarn you use for making a rug.
Thank you for watching our video on making a spool knitted rug. It is possible to have another color. You would add the color when spool knitting. Attach the new color to the working yarn on the spool knitter with a knot. Keep spool knitting the working yarn in the first color until you reach the knot, and then keep spool knitting once you get to the new color yarn - as you go, make sure that the two loose ends of yarn are buried in the middle of your spool knitting tool as you knit. To finish it, bind off the cord from the spool knitter. Continue finger braiding until you only have a short piece left. Insert this short piece into the last loop. It ended, then just sew the end down.

Hi. Thank you for watching our video on making a spool knitted rug. I really don't know if it can be made with an i-cord machine because I have never used one.

Hi Diane, Sorry, I did not measure how many yards of spool knitted cord that was used because I knitted and made the rug as I went along. You need many yards to make a rug.
Thank you for contacting us with your question. When the rug is the size wanted, cast off the yarn from the spool knitter, place the tail of the cord into the last chain's loop and pull tight to secure. Tuck this tail under the rug and stitch it into place and the rug is done.
Can you tell me where to get the spool to do spool knitting. I have been to Michaels but they didn’t have them. I had one as a child and would really enjoy doing it again.

Hi. Thank you for watching our video. To make my rug, I used Lily Sugar 'n Cream Cotton Worsted yarn. This yarn comes in a variety of colors. Any brand of yarn can be used, but I recommend cotton.

Thank you!

Could you tell me the thickness of yarn that you used?
It would've been nice to see the FINAL rug. I have that yarn, but didn't make the rug because of how much dirt it would show.
Hi Pinky! We do have another video with the finished rug. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/oXoSPf8QCuk/v-deo.html. Please be sure to subscribe to our channel because we post new videos regularly. Also, follow us on Facebook and/or Twitter for more craft and hobby content and videos.

Thx!🎉❤ Can it be made with an i-cord machine?
Hi. Thank you for watching our video on making a spool knitted rug. I really don't know if it can be made with an i-cord machine because I have never used one.
can you please show the cast off or how you end the rug?
Thank you for watching our video. To finish it, bind off the cord from the spool knitter. Continue finger braiding until you only have a short piece left. Insert this short piece into the last loop. It's ended, then just sew the end down.
How long was your I cord for your rug? How many yards?
Hi Diane, Sorry, I did not measure how many yards of spool knitted cord that was used because I knitted and made the rug as I went along. You need many yards to make a rug.
How long is the cord braided. How many yards of yarn and how long is a finished rung.
Hello. I did not measure the cording so I cannot tell you how long it was or how much yarn I used.
How do you finish the last loop to finish the carpet?
Thank you for contacting us with your question. When the rug is the size wanted, cast off the yarn from the spool knitter, place the tail of the cord into the last chain's loop and pull tight to secure. Tuck this tail under the rug and stitch it into place and the rug is done.
What is the best yarn to use?
We used a cotton yarn for our rug. Subscribe to our channel so you won't miss new videos! Happy Stitching!
Hi! Nice project do you use dk or aran weight yarn.
No I used a cotton yarn.
@@Needlepointers sorry didn't make myself clear was it a dk cotton or aran weight I have used both to knit garments thanks
