The most comfortable roll you’ll enjoy to make.

This pillow cover is made by holding 10 strands of bulky yarn together, and lightly twisting them all together as you knit. The most effective method I found for doing this was to have the 10 balls sitting in a plastic basket, with all the 10 strands secured temporarily on the top edge. I was then able to spin the whole basket approximately 15 times anticlockwise per meter. This ensured that the yarn twisted together just enough to give it the look of plied yarn. You may like to experiment with this, or alternatively, just knit all the strands together as they come.
