Your videos are always a great start to my Fridays! I think your advent spin is beautiful and the gradient ply would be lovely. The button band pickup ratio was so helpful.
I have been knitting for years but for some reason, your explanation was the first one that clicked, regarding positive ease and fit. Thank you so much!
I personally would DEFINITELY want to do that second layout for ur HHF spin !!! Then the whole skein would kind of be one long gradient , and I LOVE IT when skeins look like that ! Cheers + I love ur moon mint !!!
For yarn substitutions: I tried to post a link for a yarn substitution website but it doesn’t post so I’m guessing that’s prohibited? 🤷♀️ If you google yarn substitution there is a major website that will come up, usually first, that will give you alternatives and rate how closely they match your original with a number of data points (fiber content, yardage, weight, etc) and give you a percentage as to how closely it is.
I did the same thing. I tried to post the yarn sub website. I have used it a few times and It is pretty good. The only downside is that not all yarns are on their list.
I finished a sweater. It’s love it! I’m ripping out up to the collar b cause of shoulder fit. I will be happy later. . . Working hard on being happy now
For the person who asked about yarn substitutions……I hear you. I’ve never knit one of Andrea’s patterns and am hesitant to do so because I feel the yarn I can afford won’t look as good and wouldn’t do the pattern justice. Farmers Daughter yarns are expensive and my guess is her collab includes either free or highly discounted yarn. She does include suggested yarn substitutes but none of them have been tested which is unfortunate because there’s still that “will I like it, did I pick the wrong yarn, did I waste my money feeling”.
I have to tell you, I love your videos. I learn so much from you and the audience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So helpful for a newish knitter! I too struggle with picking the correct yarn.

I vote one big gradient for your spin. I think that would be lovely!
Thank you for talking about yarn. Great learning session today!
I love the lighter background wall color as a filming area.❤ I love your 2nd choice for you HHF Advent 3ply.🥰
How about chain plying each bobbin in the order you had them? That would make a great 3ply “gradient “
WOW! That is a beautiful sweater!!!!!
I vote spinning 3 bobbins together, I think you would get more colours that way.😊
Thanks Andrea..your advise is always helpful and inspiring..it's always a hard one deciding which size to do! 🎉❤

Hi, I am new to your channel! Do you have any videos on hand spinning yarn?
I like you advent ply’s by threes! Just my opinion….
