Materials Used in this Tutorial

The silver content in SilverSpun makes it therapeutic and conductive. Silver kills a number of bacteria, including those that cause odor, has excellent thermal properties, is nontoxic and is perfect for those with sensitive skin. Silver is also an excellent conductive agent, thus allowing smartphone or tablet touch screen use while wearing gloves knit from this yarn. The silver is permanently adhered to the yarn and will not wash out. Made in the USA.

I like this yarn, but it has made the last two daily stitches’ (knitting) details virtually invisible.Today not as much as yesterday, but still somewhat obscured.
Thanks Erin!
We definitely appreciate the feedback.
It is a very cool yarn, but the silver makes it a little hard to see stitch patterns.
Our sponsors enable you to enjoy the videos for free, so sometimes we have to make compromises. I hope you understand.
