Skeined

Skeined is a term used in the context of knitting and crochet to describe a specific technique or style of working with yarn. The term originates from the Old English word "scēan," which means to twist or entwine. In knitting, skeining refers to the process of twisting and knitting yarn together to create a solid, textured fabric. This technique is often used to create unique textures and patterns, and can be employed in various knitting projects, such as sweaters, scarves, and blankets. Skeining can be done by hand or with the help of specialized tools like skeiners or knitting needles with twisted yarn. The resulting fabric is typically dense and has a distinctive, textured appearance. Skeined knitting is a versatile technique that allows for creative expression and can be adapted to suit different project requirements.
