Hi Chandi!, I’ve just come from watching your latest video (the Lilias Shawl), and going back to this, 6 years back in time is such a blast! It felt like growing WITH you on my crafting journey. I learned how to knit because you, yes, YOU taught me! It was your basic knitting tutorial that I watched over and over again. I can still remember the funny sound effects you made on the side back then, and at the time it was just what I needed, because it made learning the craft less intimidating. Now that I’ve moved on to crochet, your channel (and now website, too) is still my go-to source for the most amazing patterns, and of course, a nice dose of Chandi positivity and calm. Thank you Chandi!!!
Delightfully informative, Chandi! Thank you so very much for taking the time to make and post this video!! I saw the glowy appearance you described of your yak-silk lace yarn. The colors are absolutely beautiful and is the perfect yarn for making the elegent wraps, which II immediately fell in love with when I saw them during the preview of this video! Thank you again! 😊❤❤❤
It is so much easier to imagine how a yarn will work when I can see the finished product actually moving - so much better than a still photo. It makes me want to make all my baby clothes out of yak down down - have you ever considered patterns for baby clothes since your wools are so incredibly soft and unique?
Love the patterns always and the yarn you chose for the example is exquisite looking.on my list to get. Thank you for sharing your talents and info it really does help explain a lot to us beginner's.
I guess lacy yarn will take much longer time... so it could be wearable (though it has that 90s feel) but will need much commitment to make one. As you said, the products made will be more durable and stronger :) and the craftwork look so delicate!
Love your videos...very informative. And, you are absolutely beautiful, and seem genuinely sweet.!! Oh, I forgot to add its so nice to have helpful videos without irritating music in the background.
These are such beautiful yarn! And Midnight Grove Wrap is sooooooo beautiful! I’ve bought that pattern and been trying to make.. sadly I keep making mistakes, may I suggest maybe you can make a video on how to deal with lace patterns for beginners? Like if you don’t have a lifeline and made a mistake, what and how do we recover the stitches? I’ve been knitting and crocheting for many years but I’ve never done lace before. Would be great if you are able to use the Midnight Grove Wrap pattern as a base pattern for the video. Oooh PS, love your videos and the yarns and patterns are all so beautiful!
That is a great idea! We are definitely planning on doing a video on how to create a lifeline in knitting. We are also going to do one on how to recover stitches if you don't have a lifeline. Excellent suggestions! ❤️❤️
Have you done a video on knitting with lace weight yarn? I am a new knitter started with thick yarn now on worsted and so loving it and think I will go thinner as I learn. Thanks Judy
Love this shawls, especially the midnight grove wrap. Unfortunately, I can't follow written knit patterns and need a video. Very beautiful, thanks for sharing. P.S.I love how your patterns have so many pics!
Hi Beautiful shawls love the yarn especially the yak silk but I have to wait I’m out of work on disability and and my income is kind of on the low side but it’s on my wish list to get thank you for sharing ❤️
Chandi i love your patterns but I just have a question when the yarn is going to be able again? I been looking for this yarn because I want to make those shawls!!! Please let me know 😊
Am looking for the one (Midnight Grove) I love it!!! Chandi you are so kind to reply my text thank you very much, and hopping to have the yarn, thank you and god bless you 🥰❤️❤️
For sure! You can find the patterns here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/patterns.html If you want a specific pattern, just click on the link in the description box- I have all the details right there. You can find me at www.expressionfiberarts.com. Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️
I have a question, I have 3 cake multi color I think after your explanation it's 2 ply fingering (lace) weight yarn the only explanation of the yarn that it's 100% acrylic 80 grams = 300 meters. So what can I make from this yarn except shawl? Is it enough for a top . Btw I crochet
If you have three of them or roughly 900 meters, you might be able to find a tank top or short-sleeved top that you could crochet, but it would likely only be enough yardage for the smallest of sizes. You could also make a scarf or other accessory. Here are some of our smaller crochet patterns: www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/patterns.html?_bc_fsnf=1&Craft=Crochet&sort=newest&Project+Type=Scarves%2FCowls
I love all of your beautiful patterns:) Are you able to recommend other brands of yarn as well:) Some of your yarn is totally beautiful however other price points would be helpful as well. Thank you..
Yes, we ship to the UK. The cost to ship is dependent on the weight of yarn one buys. For more information, check out our website here: www.expressionfiberarts.com and you can contact us here: www.expressionfiberarts.com/contact-us/ Thanks! 😊
Hi Dorothy, thank you for your comment. The pattern you're looking for is called Stream of Consciousness and you can find it on our website: www.expressionfiberarts.com/products/stream-of-consciousness.html I hope this helps. Have a nice day! 💕
*QUESTION* How would this yarn weave? I'm new to weaving and am learning about yarns. I found your other video on yarn so helpful. Thank you! :) ps I subbed!
Can you recommend needles & hooks that you find that work well with your yarn as your yarn is so beautiful but wouldn’t want to destroy it with poor tools to make a project & thanks for this video 🙏😊💖
I bought lace weight yarn with the idea of making a baby dress.. problem is... the patterns I have calls for sport weight yarn... So I’m not sure if it will work or not.
Hi Maria, I'm sorry that we haven't recorded a tutorial for the Bahari Wrap. Please let me know if you have any questions or issues with the pattern and I will do my best to help you with it. 💛
ExpressionFiberArts Yay..!!!! You are the whole reason that I started knitting and why I am going to start spinning..!

I bought lace weight yarn with the idea of making a baby dress.. problem is... the patterns I have calls for sport weight yarn... So I’m not sure if it will work or not.
I would hold it double and try to get gauge. I hope this helps. : )
Why is there no video on the bahari wrap
Hi Maria, I'm sorry that we haven't recorded a tutorial for the Bahari Wrap. Please let me know if you have any questions or issues with the pattern and I will do my best to help you with it. 💛
Hola, si fuera mucha molestia podrian traducir al idioma espanol gracias.... te felicito x tus trabajos
We are working on that. :)
Is 1 weight yarn lace weight?
Weight 1 yarn is considered Fingering/Sock weight yarn. Lace weight is weight 0 yarn.
I hope that helps.
Have a nice weekend! 💕
is it expensive yarn?
Супер!))
