It's easy to spot the difference between 1 thread and 2 threads techniques. (QA version)

Let me show you. 

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫:  Hi Sally, How can I check which bags are 1 thread and 2 threads? 

𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲:  Hi, well, can I show you an example of 2 bags between black and red? So, black is 1 thread and red is 2 threads,

Can you notice the knitting of both bags? 

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫:  umm...how? 

𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲: The knitting on the black one is wider on the row, it is like 3 times wider than the red one.

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫:  Has this made the price more expensive so far? 

𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲:  The factor of handmade knit bags is quality, skills of weavers, and technique. However, let me show you more details. The knit on the head of the tassel, the black one, is bigger than the red one because the 1 thread technique uses very skinny thread and knits with a single thread at the time, but the black one uses double threads knitted. So, when using double threads in a row, we can make the bags quicker (finish the whole bag faster than using only a single thread) and they are thicker. 

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫: Well, but I am confused. I saw the black bag has a strap that looks similar to the red bag, so they are not different. 

𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲:  In this case, the waver makes a special strap for the black one. Even if there are 2 threads, it's special. It has the same technique as 1 thread. You are lucky if you choose a mixed technique. The value should be more expensive than standard 2 threads bags. 

𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫: Nice to know this stuff before deciding to purchase. 😊
