amazing how you can do this with your hands fingers is just awesome to see thanks for sharing fiber spider Excellent work 👍👍👍👍👍☺ ☺☺☺☺ best regards Peter.
Thank you, Peter! It's just another way of manipulating fiber 😊 There are lots of techniques out there aside from knitting and crochet - finger knitting (which I have a video on), arm knitting, nal binden, macrame, weaving, nooking, and tatting just to name a few. The world is your oyster, crack it open and look for the pearl.
Thanks for teaching me how to finger crochet. That would be fun to do with the grandkids. I had never seen it before. Cording was popular thing to do at recess when we weren't playing jacks....lol. (yes I am older than dirt)
There are other yarns that Darn Good Yarn does have and I like it very much. I haven't use what you showed but I have use their types of yarn and like it very much. So please don't give up on Darn Good Yarn because of the one you showed. Their is a saying to each hers or his opinion. I hope I said that right.
Thank you so much! I don't think I'm going to continue with that series. The initial reason I created it was to really clarify the process, step by step how to do the project. As of the last filming I think I covered the repeat sufficiently and that it was becoming a little redundant. 😫 I loved doing the series, but I also want to move on to more projects, keep things fresh, you know? 😉
Interesting ideas here and below. You could use that small amount and the large finger crochet stitches and make a placemat or hot pad for the table (is the yarn heat-resistant?).
Okay, maybe i'm the weird one who liked the destructed nature of that yarn and I probably would have done a funky valance for my craft room instead of making something wearable. Just a thought.
You aren't any weirder than I am, lol. I too love the idea of recycling and repurposing. A while back I did a tutorial on how to crochet a scarf using up scraps. I just like to predominately make wearable items. Btw, here's the link - ruclips.net/video/1t6bIpuTI94/видео.html Hope you find it helpful!
I have used darn good yarn myself and all the yarn i recieved from them was horrible i did it for 2 months thinking maybe it would get better but it never did i cancalled mine as well
Such a shame, because it sounded like a ethical, environmentally conscious source of yarn. Yarn has to be workable - cheap, expensive- gotta be good on the hook! Happy Sunday, Mr Fibre 🌿
I joined Darn Good Yarn last month and received a bag that others had gotten, in July! The lavender air planters. Was not impressed. Gave it another month. Received my second month today and it is the most coarse, scratchy yarn! And not much of it! The pattern is a headband! Who's going to want something that scratchy on their head? I'm all for saving the earth and helping people help themselves, but I almost think it'd be better if I just wrote a check to another organization than get this crap.
I understand what you mean. I too was frustrated, but haven't given up the idea of mail order blind boxes. After unsubscribing from Darn Good Yarn, I signed up with another one in the hopes that I can share something great with you all. As for doing charitable acts, I'm all for it and even did a vlog entry on the subject. 😊 ruclips.net/video/NRKGgpDXQug/видео.html
Fiber Spider yes I learned from the experience too. Just enough to make a headband I sewed in a few sequins and used it as part of a Halloween costume!
Carla Johnson - Yes, it would be perfect for Halloween as a head band on a zombie. I mean that purple/brown colour could eventually turn out to be perfect. Perhaps...
Wow - such mean comments. This was never indented to be perfect yarn from a Factory. It come from used sari's. If you haven't watched this here you go: ruclips.net/video/pHWcivFn1p8/видео.html
I would first like to say that I'm sorry if my personal opinion upset you, however what I said is just that - merely an opinion. I am well aware of the imperfect nature of handmade yarn as I have spun some myself using wool roving and a drop spindle. It was a long and laborious process, and the thickness varied greatly. The texture and workability (is that a word?) was still easier to manage by comparison to the sari yarn. I did watch the video, and completely appreciate what Darn Good Yarn is trying to accomplish. I love how they are helping employ people as well as recycling material - both highly admirable qualities! I think if the quality were easier to work with, or at least a softer texture that I would have been happier with the product. Since I was in no way sponsored, nor received any monetary gain from the experiment, I felt that it was my choice to give an honest review of my feelings in view of my experience working with different kinds of yarn. No harm nor hard feelings were ever or at all intended. As I had stated in the video, I cancelled my subscription and chalked the experience to a learning experience. Also that I haven't given up on trying new things, like other 'mystery box' resources. If nothing else, please take what I say with a grain of salt, for what it is and for what it's worth, an opinion. Thank you.
+Sandy Renshaw Thanks for sharing the link to the DGY video. You're right that one can't expect "factory perfect" yarn with recycled sari silk. But it isn't unreasonable to expect yarn that is workable, especially since the video clips of people knitting clearly imply that the yarn is substantially better quality than this. DGY has a wonderful mission, but they should make it clear that their recycled yarn is much better for boho type accessories and decor and not for conventional crochet or knitting. There are plenty of other fiber artists who would find this "yarn" more useful than traditional knitters and crocheters do. DGY should shift the focus of their marketing to include spinners, weavers, modern quilters, etc.

I totally agree with you. That yarn looks nasty. Thanks for showing and letting us know. Also thanks for caring about your watchers. Keep on keeping.
I was wondering what you were going to use that yarn for it I love it but then I love pretty much all ur projects !
There are other yarns that Darn Good Yarn does have and I like it very much. I haven't use what you showed but I have use their types of yarn and like it very much. So please don't give up on Darn Good Yarn because of the one you showed. Their is a saying to each hers or his opinion. I hope I said that right.
I love all your videos! Will you be doing more on the kladiscope granny?😊

Fiber Spider I understand 😊 thanks so much for doing the videos to get started
Interesting ideas here and below. You could use that small amount and the large finger crochet stitches and make a placemat or hot pad for the table (is the yarn heat-resistant?).
I like your thinking! A placemat is a great idea! I'm not sure about heat resistance though, I would probably use cotton in that scenario.
I think you said it was scratching maybe instead of scarf a wall hanging?

Reusable grocery bag w/ lining
I've tried that crap 2 years ago from Y Z it's exactly what it is CRAP😂.
Yeah, well I wanted to try something new, took a chance and learned something from the experience, lol
Fiber Spider yes I learned from the experience too. Just enough to make a headband I sewed in a few sequins and used it as part of a Halloween costume!
Carla Johnson - Yes, it would be perfect for Halloween as a head band on a zombie. I mean that purple/brown colour could eventually turn out to be perfect. Perhaps...
I dont like it either. I would never stitch with it. It's not that appealing to me either.

That is the ugliest yarn I have ever seen. Thanks for testing it out for us. I would have asked for a refund.
women placemats maybe? I agree though, that stuff is hideous
Just put it in the trash
