Translation of "purl" into Danish

What surprises the uninitiated is that the art of knitting can be reduced to two basic stitches—knit, or plain, as some call it, and purl.

Det der overrasker dem der ikke kender noget til strikning, er at et strikketøj grundlæggende består af to slags masker, nemlig ret og vrang.

Purl is an inverted plain stitch and serves to give a ribbed effect.

En vrangmaske er en omvendt retmaske og bruges for eksempel ved ribstrikning.
