\nWhen you think about knitting by hand, using two knitting needles, the first image that comes to mind is an endearing little old lady, knitting in a comfortable armchair, with a basket of yarn at her feet. Fortunately, we\u2019ve discovered that wool, like the moon, has two sides.

\nWool is essentially a fine material, and this is never more true than when we\u2019re talking about Spanish transhumant merino wool. If, besides this, it\u2019s been produced using artisan processes, it conserves a traditional facet that can\u2019t and shouldn\u2019t be ignored.

Hand knitting is enjoying its finest moment. It\u2019s shattering clich\u00e9s, with colour and new textures. It embraces novelty, while reconciling the past and present, history and fashion.<\/p>\n

One look at these photos dispels that lingering sense of nostalgia. They show how the world of knitting is reinventing itself and annihilating its own limits. It\u2019s pushing every boundary, to include those who thought there was nothing new to hear.<\/p>\n
