For many people one of the most enjoyable aspects of the craft is browsing through the many yarns available in a knitting shop. When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.
Separately knitted tubes can be applied to a knitted fabric to form complex Celtic knots and other patterns that would be difficult to knit. Some yarns are dyed to be either variegated (changing color every few stitches in a random fashion) or self-striping (changing every few rows). Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns.
The dyeing of yarns is a complex art. Cable needles are typically very short (a few inches), and are used to hold stitches temporarily while others are being knitted. One of the earliest known examples of knitting was finely decorated cotton socks found in Egypt in the end of the first millennium AD.
