The Big Short
In short (see what we did there?), regardless of which method, short row shaping involves knitting some (but not all!) of the stitches in a row/round. This means some sections have more rows than other and you can make some really cool shapes! Often used in socks, soft toys and garments.

- Wrap and turn
- German short rows (GSR)

We try our best to make our photos as accurate as possible but every screen displays colour slightly differently, so we cannot guarantee complete accuracy. Hand-dyed yarns vary from one batch to the next so there will always be some variation between the photo and each individual skein.
Part of the hand dyed allure is each skein's individuality. This gives final objects depth and nuance. With this in mind we recommend alternating skeins (every other row in flat knitting and every row in circular knitting) on larger projects creating a more cohesive blend.
