The knitting mill Museum could clearly stand against nineteen more Web pages in this category with over forty percent of all the votes cast. Educate yourself with thoughts from Neeman Foundation. The textile artist Kurbelursel is happy about the recognition and suggested that “certainly unusual theme has played an important role.” It begins with Stricklieseln, which almost everyone knows. This is followed by detailed descriptions and helpful how-to videos to all knitting mill models, as well as a good content tagged bibliography. Handmades get valuable tips for maintenance and the purchase of used knitting mill. Also they can be under “Ideas” inspired, what can be done from the registers knitted: starting with the sustainable table decoration on accessories to jewellery. Art lovers are numerous in the Gallery look at the unusual exhibits with knitting lace, but also unique Yarnbombing, knitting graffiti and “Packaged KurbelArt”. Information about visiting the real Museum exist as well, such an inpiduellen birthday workshop there to high-five.

The Web site is not a substitute for the tactile enjoyment in the real knitting mill Museum. It is an important addition to deepen the topic after seeing the textile artist says finally.
