PURLS Meaning and
Definition
-
Purls, as a noun, can refer to the individual loops or stitches made when knitting or crocheting. It is a term commonly used in the field of fiber crafts to describe the raised and textured surface that results from a particular knitting or crochet technique. Purls are typically created by bringing the working yarn through the front of the fabric to the back, forming a loop in front of the existing stitch. This creates a small bump or loop on the surface of the knitted or crocheted fabric.
As a verb, purls describes the action of creating these loops or stitches. To purl in knitting or crocheting, one must insert the needle or hook into the stitch from right to left, hold the working yarn in front of the stitch, and create a new loop by pulling the yarn through the stitch. This process is often done in combination with knit or other stitch patterns to create varied textures and patterns in the fabric.
Purls can add dimension, interest, and decorative elements to various projects such as scarves, sweaters, hats, blankets, and more. They can be used to create ribbing, borders, or intricate designs within the fabric. Purls are a fundamental element of knitting and crocheting, and mastering the technique allows for versatility and creativity in the world of fiber crafts.
