Girl from Dalecarlia knitting. Cabbage Margit (Stickande kulla. Kål-Margit) by Anders Zorn (1901) portraits a woman from Dalarna knitting in this technique.
Twined knitting (also known as two-end knitting) is a traditional Scandinavian knitting technique. It refers to knitting where two strands of yarn are knitted into the fabric alternatively and twisted once and always in the same direction before every stitch. The technique is called tvåändsstickning in Swedish, tvebandsstrikking in Norwegian, and tvebinding in Danish. Their literal meaning is "two-end knitting", referring to the traditional way of knitting with both yarn ends from one ball of yarn.
While the right-side of the fabric resembles a one-end stocking-stitch fabric (as seen from the right side), the wrong-side of the fabric has a horizontally ridged surface due to the plaits created by the twisting of the two strands of yarn.[1] Intricate relief patterns are characteristic of the technique.
Twined knitting produces a firmer and more durable fabric with greater thermal insulation than conventional one-end knitting.[2] The technique has historically been used to knit mittens, gloves, socks, stockings, caps and sleeves for waistcoats.[3]
