About Swatch Box

Why Swatching Matters

Swatching is a crucial step in any knitting project. When knitters prepare to create something new, they often create a swatch - a small sample of knitting using their chosen yarn and needles. This helps determine:

  • The exact gauge (stitches and rows per cm)
  • How the yarn behaves with the chosen needle size
  • The fabric characteristics and drape
  • Whether the chosen materials will achieve the desired results

Each combination of yarn and needles will produce unique results, and these results can vary from knitter to knitter based on their individual tension and style.
