Slow Motion Purl Stitch

Something new for visual learners! In this video, my producer slows the purl stitch way, way down – for a close-up and slow demonstration of the stitch. I demonstrate three different ways to purl stitches.

If you’d like to see my regular speed purl stitch video, you can find that here.

Here is the playlist of all of my Slo-Mo videos (I’ll be adding more as I release more slo-mo videos).

The yarn I used is Valley Yarns Northfield in color Jade. The needles are Knitter’s Pride Platina.
