What is a knitting spool and how does it work?
The knitting spool is a small tubular loom that allows you to knit cords easily and quickly. It can be used manually or with an automatic version that speeds up the process. Nazaret uses this for her creations, and the finish is undoubtedly wonderful.
It is the beginning of every work created with this artisanal technique, a detailed process that results in authentic works of art.

How to make names with tricotín: Step-by-step
If you want to make a name with tricotin, follow these simple steps:
1. Knit the cord with tricotin
Use a manual or automatic tricotin to make a cord of approximately 30-50 cm for each letter. Make sure to knit it uniformly so that the shape is homogeneous.
2. Shape the letters
Using templates and pliers, mold the wire to form the letters. This step requires patience, as the curves and joints must be well-defined.
3. Insert the wire into the cord
Carefully insert the knitted cord with the wire, you must be careful not to fray or break it.
4. Secure the ends
Once the text or name is finished, close the ends. Either with textile glue or by closing the cord with a crochet hook.
5. Add decorative details
You can add fabric flowers, bows, LED lights, or any other detail to further personalize your design.
Steps 2 and 3 can be interchanged to make it easier to insert the wire through the cotton cord.
