    Toni: “I was annoyed it was called linen when it wasn’t even majority linen fibre content”. Wool-ease has left the chat

      the amount of people that call yarn "wool" when it's acryllic, cotton, or anything but wool makes my eye twitch.

      Me 🤣 my yarn budget has been very skinny lately bc I know I have so much yarn to use up. I feel like I can’t justify more yarn purchases until I use some of them up.

      Please look in Dollarama's and Dollar tree stores. You can find amazing premium brand yarn discounted and pay a fraction of the cost! No need to prevent yourself from indulging in a knitted or crocheted project for yourself!

    I wish there was a knit designer that did this type of review. At a loss sometimes as to which patterns suit which yarns sometimes.

      I've knitted with all their yarns except the linen (I'm not a designer, just knit waaaaaaaaay too much). Overall, I don't have any issues knitting, but by far my favorite is the finita! I like to make lace sweaters and cardigans and it's lightweight and soft but not uncomfortably hot like the wool ones. The bamboo is really nice for brioche stitch, but not so much lace. I have 2 summer cardigans I made from bamboo that are nice and flowy

      Ross (Smells Great Guy) does a touch of this sort of thing. He is not as detailed as Toni, but he will tell you what he likes for knitting and constantly tries new yarn.

    @SuzyEH 3 года назад +10

    Best yarn reviews on RUclips. You give me the information I need before sending limited money on yarn. So tired of reviews that are simply look how much yarn I can buy and give away to boost views bot not give any useful information. Thanks for being a great resource and sharing your time with us.

  • @trinitytang3170
    @trinitytang3170 3 года назад +17

    I live for these videos. You’re reviews are in-depth but not too slow and I like how you give examples for what you would use the yarn for. The videos are just so soothing but also entertaining.

  • @Enig_Mata
    @Enig_Mata 3 года назад +6

    I learned to knit as a child and picked up knitting a couple years ago. Your videos are the only ones that make we want to knit again - although I might look into Tunisian crotchet - I've never done that before.

  • @BeckyInCa

  • @fuzzypumpkin7743
    @fuzzypumpkin7743 3 года назад +50

    I am primarily a knitter (though I was all crochet for almost 30 years before and still do some) and when you dumped that bag I was all "Ooooh, things I like." (personally do NOT like working with linen/vicose primary yarns, though).

  • @karilaksa
    @karilaksa 3 года назад +9

    In my experience as a weaver (& knitter, spinner, crocheter, etc) I've found that linen-based yarns work best in weaving and cooperate best that way. Linen is really 'grippy' even when spun smoothly so crocheting or even knitting with linen yarn can be difficult no matter what; viscose is slippier so I assume that's why it was used for a yarn intended for knitting, but it would still be difficult with the linen inclusion.

  • @minibeanvegan

    You just reminded me that I have to finish my clawfoot blanket! I know this is a yarn review, but those new Tunisian hooks!! Love the extra sharp tips. I think I need those! :)

  • @allylindavlogs
    @allylindavlogs 3 года назад +2

    Omg Fredrik Backman! Many years ago when I was 13 I read his book (my favorite ever) "A man called Ove" and wrote a piece about him in school at the time. I had the chance to meet him and give it to him, and he signed the books I had, we talked for a long time. It's amazing to see his book turn into a movie and then be nominated for an Oscar - and now see people from all over the world (like you!) mention him. He is truly the sweetest man ever, and so talented!

  • @tinahairston6383
    @tinahairston6383 3 года назад +3

    After just completing my first ever pair of knitted socks with fingering, I'm so glad you had Finita on here. I didn't think I'd ever WANT to work with fingering and I KNEW I didn't want to touch lace weight but now you've got me rethinking that. The swatch you did was GORGEOUS. I think that stitch would make a great summer tee or dress pattern...just saying. Thanks, Toni!

    Hi Toni, your energy is infectious! I really like the way you review yarns. I love your Tunisian crocheting. I can’t believe how many different ways you can create a design in Tunisian crochet! I’ve used Tunisian crochet once, and don’t think I had it down pat. But watching you crochet (not necessarily in this video, but in other videos tutorials) just inspires me to try Tunisian crochet more often. I’m plan to try some of your designs. Don’t stop doing what you’re doing, you’re great! (I have even seen you on CreateTV!) Wonderful you are! So lively, friendly and bubbly!

    When I saw the yarns I was saying oooh, oooh, oooh, I just wanted to grab and feel them all. I love your yarn reviews and that you give pattern suggestions for each yarn. I agree with you that 50-gram skein of yarn is too expensive but it is beautiful. I think I'm going to save some money for a yarn purchase at We Are Knitters.

  • @donnaharris4402
    @donnaharris4402 3 года назад

    I love your teaching videos, so easy to follow. your yarn reviews are very helpful. Since I have been trying to learn crocheting I pay to have ad free youtube. I am disappointed that you have started doing ads in your videos that have nothing to do with crafting. I do realize you make you income by yarn sponsored videos, you do a nice of making it subtle. Thank you for your lessons. Best wishes

    Toni: Great review as are all of your yarn reviews. I will have to try out the Finita yarn as well as the Dyak Tunisian hooks. I have never heard of this company until now. The finish on that hook is beautiful along with the shape of the hook head. I think I may have a crush on that beautiful crochet hook! :-)

  • @Sophiesmakeupbag
    @Sophiesmakeupbag 3 года назад +1

    Hi Tony! I am writing for the first time and I have recently started following you... I felt immediate connection with you as I saw your first video for the reason that we share similar passion for Crochet. Although I am quite handicapped with the "social networking thing" I love to watch your videos and now I have subscribed to your channel so I can directly see them.
    I am not expert in crochet but I too find it quite calming. BTW I loved your video where you used siri for selecting colour.
    A common thing which I had observed in your videos is that I see you using a crochet hook of large size than what I would have picked for a particular yarn. Could you make a video regarding how to choose the hook size based on yarn or design. Please.

    You do such great work. Keep up the good work. I have never heard of we are knitters. I’ll have to look them up. Most likely I won’t be able to afford any of their yarn right now. Money this very tight right now. The yarn looks good but I don’t know if I would use it. I have a hard time with the thin yarns like that and the price is a little high for me. I can’t afford $20 for one ball of yarn.
