German Twisted Cast On

A firm, yet elastic cast on providing a clean edge. This variation of the long tail cast on is an excellent choice for socks, sweaters, cuffs and more. Used in place of long tail cast on.

Just a question.... does this take more "tail" yarn than a regular cast on (because of the twist)?

Anyone who has been doing this can help me out with this ...
