I have knittet 4 garments out of this yarn. A single yarn...its a pleasure to wear. Light and toasty....
Ooh that's so good to hear! Glad you enjoyed knitting with it 😊
Hi! I just found your channel and I love it. All about thread and yarn is my passion too. I knit but I mostly crochet. I live in a very small poor country El Salvador, and enjoy my hobbies very much. Blessings for the new year.
Hello! Thanks for your lovely message, I'm glad you're enjoying the videos - welcome to my channel 🥰 happy new year to you too x
I’m not even a knitter, but I loved hearing about your travels and shopping at these lovely places.
Ah thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I too have family in Copenhagen and was there a few weeks ago. I've visited Woolstock in the past and have the same impressions you have -- it's just delightful. I visited Knitting for Olive this trip because I've heard so much about the yarn on numerous podcasts. I found it rather disappointing too -- very cold, sparse atmosphere, though I did love all their knit samples. This is my first time listening to your podcast, but it won't be my last. I found you to be easy to listen to and very informative.
Ah, that's a shame you had the same experience! I loved looking at their samples too though 😊
And I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching! 😊
Oh what a lovely video! I don’t knit at the moment (I mainly sew) but used to many years ago, but I still love your content. And I LOVE Copenhagen! I live in Sweden but go to Copenhagen now and then as it’s such a charming and friendly city.
Your packpack looks really nice, Noodlehead makes the most gorgeous bag patterns (I follow her on Instagram) and I have been looking for a backpack pattern!
Hope you have a nice relaxed Christmas holiday!
Hello 😊 glad you enjoyed it! I did love Copenhagen. I'd love to visit Sweden one day too. Enjoy your Christmas too 🥰
There are many Gotland sheep in Denmark, so in what is called Dansk Pelsuld it is not imported.
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay ❣️ (I'm Danish)
Thanks for the info! Yes I loved Denmark in my visit, I'm sure we will be back soon ☺️
Just found your channel, it's great! I'm a Brit living in Oslo so I loved seeing you walk around Copenhagen into the cute yarn shops which are quite similar to what there is here in Oslo. I'm from Bristol and my Brother is from Dursley, so it was cool to see that you're from Stroud. It reminds me of home :-).
Hey, so glad you enjoyed it :) I'd love to go to Oslo too. Funny that you and your brother are from not far away. I do love Stroud, there are so many creative people here and lots of woolly related shops and events!
Oh that's interesting. I'll be sure to check those out if I ever move back! Stroud's a great place. Love the market and the countryside there. @@threadandyarn
Lorna, that was the best video - thank you! I went to Copenhagen years ago before I got back into knitting so would love to go again. I do remember having the most delicious hot chocolate there in a little silver pot. I’m excited to hear more about your sewing retreat…
Thanks, Zoe! Glad you enjoyed it 😊 the hot choc sounds perfect, and so sweet in a little silver pot. I think I'll have to go back again at some point too, and will seek out a hot choc!
Hi! I’ve just discovered your channel thanks to the algorithm, and I’d just like to say that I really love your video and round up of your trip to Copenhagen 😊 As a half Dane, half Brit (grew up in Suffolk) living in Aarhus, I can highly recommend a trip to my city where we also have quite a few yarn shops 💓 I’ve only been to the KFO store here in Aarhus, which is really lovely with friendly staff, so I can’t comment on the store in Copenhagen, but I do agree with you about some Danes coming off as cold even though they don’t mean to. I can’t wait to watch more of your videos 🥰
Ah, welcome! I'm glad to enjoyed it ☺️ I'm sure you're right about KFO. I'd love to visit CPH again and try the shop again! I had such a good time in the city!
Love your cozy videos! It was fun to see the yarn shops of Copenhagen. The colours you chose for your backpack go so well together - and the lining is lovely!
Thank you! I'm pleased with it 😊 I was stuck on what to use for a lining, then saw that gingham in my scrap box 😊
Oh Wow! How exciting to see the wool shops on Copenhagen. You showed great restraint with your purchases. I would have found it so hard to control myself being surrounded by all that wool. Such a shame you got a frosty reception in the Knitting for Olive shop. I always think a friendly welcome makes such a difference to any shopping experience. By coincidence, I am knitting my own self drafted version of the Ingrid sweater. I only have part of a sleeve to complete. It is a design I have hankered after for a while. Such a wonderful video and thank you for sharing your trip.
Hello ☺️ I'm glad you enjoyed it! Your jumper sounds really lovely. Nearly finished too 😊 I completely agree about a friendly welcome. It sets the tone for the whole visit. I did feel like I was pretty restrained with my purchases! There was lots of temptation, but I'm really excited about the things I brought home 😊
Hello, I’m a first time viewer and I really Enjoyed your trip too Copenhagen and all the Beautiful Yarn Shops, Thank You for Sharing. I’ve Subscribed ❤
Thanks so much 😊 in really glad you enjoyed it.
Thankyou so much for the lovely and kind words about Copenhagen. I’m looking forward to your next video 🥰
Ah I'm so pleased you enjoyed it 😊
Wonderful! I haven't been to Copenhagen in decades but now I know exactly where to head to...ohhh those lovely yarn shops😊
Ah lovely! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great information. Im planning to visit at least one of the stores nearest to my hotel.Wish you had mentioned the price of some of the yarn you bought.😊
Glad it was useful! The Rauma was the most good value for money I think. I hope you've had/ are having a lovely trip 😊
What a delightful visit. Silk/mohair can be fussy to knit with, but it knits up beautifully and is wonderful to wear. I'm finishing up silk/mohair scarves for Christmas. One is close to the berry color you chose. I think the last shop would be my favorite, too! Do you have a favorite yarn shop in London? Your packpack is lovely. When I travel I always bring a vaccum bag or two. It helps compact fabric and yarns that I pick up on my travels.
Hello, using vacuum bags is a really good tip!! I will definitely do that next time 😊 I think my favourite in London is Loop. It has some beautiful things and it's on the lovely Camden Passage. It can get quite busy though. Beautiful Knitters is also delightful, and the staff are really knowledgeable and friendly 😊
Cool to see!…too bad that you didn’t have the time to go to Malmö (very close to Copenhagen) Birgitta Helmersons studio/shop is here 😍 (it’s where I live)
Oh lovely! I didn't realise she was so close, I love her work 😊
Thanks for the tour! OMG....the KFO store! So many amazing (and intricate) sample garments. Returned from Norway and the shops there, also have many garment samples!
Yes they had so many beautiful samples!! It was lovely to see so many things knitted up. I'd love to go to Norway, I hope you had a good time 😊
Love seeing new videos from you in my feed! Thanks for sharing
Ah that's lovely to hear, thank you! 😊
Lorna I loved this video. Im very inspired once again by your trip and your makes. Copenhagen and the Making backpack added to my to do list. Looking forward to hearing more about the sewing retreat too!
Ah lovely, I'm glad you enjoyed it. The backpack is lovely, I think I'll make one of the mini size ones next for pottering around town. We're just finalising the date and a few more details about the sewing retreat, but I'm really excited to share more soon ☺️ thanks for watching x
A lovely video. Lovely seeing all the beautiful yarns x
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Great blog. I am going to Stockholm tomorrow, and I will definitely be checking out yarn stores there
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it ☺️ have a lovely time in Stockholm!
Oooh lovely purchases and beautiful bag. Ah glad yr partner knits, my hubby can't knit but does love my yarn and sewing crafts. I'm sat knitting my socks recovering from my 2nd lot of Covid, enjoying your video. Just looove all of the colours you've purchased. Enjoy your week ahead. Mines knitting more socks and getting better . Love Di in UK xxxx
Oh dear, I hope the rest and sock knitting are helping you feel better!! Glad you enjoyed the video. It's lovely that your husband appreciates your crafts, even if he doesn't partake himself 😊 thanks for your comment and feel better soon! Xx
@@threadandyarn aww thank you. Yeh nearly negative test lol. crafting really helps especially when I'm poorly. Looking forward to your next video. Sending you best wishes too. Keep crafting those beautiful items XX Di xx
I love your videos they make me so happy! I love everything you make. I'm such a fan of that shade of green that your jumper and the rauma garn is in, I just made an agnete cardigan out of that kind of shade and now I want to make loads of things in that colour, it's so nice. Also LOVE your felted hat so much, I want to make one of those now! and also can't believe the backpack
Ah lovely! I can really feel the joy in your message 😊 your cardigan sounds lovely, I adore that shade of green. I'm really enjoying the hat, I definitely recommend it!
This was such a lovely tour! Thank you for sharing so many shops. I am looking forward to seeing your red vest! I recently made the Ingrid sweater and it’s the coziest.
Ah glad you enjoyed it 😊 how was the ingrid sweater? I'm looking forward to casting on both vests 😊
Gorgeous video! Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you! Glad you liked it 😊
lovely video : ) thanks for sharing your trip.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video 😊
Wow!! I just found you! I really enjoyed your yarn store tour!! I love wooly wool!!! Can't wait to see more of your channel. I live in the US in the heart of Amish country. ( think farms and lots of hand crafting!) Happy knitting!!❤
Hey, thanks for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊 I'm so inspired by Amish crafting, especially the quilting styles and colours! There's an American museum near me with some lovely Amish quilts and I love going to see them 😊
@threadandyarn the Amish are truly industrious people! I love living where horse and buggy are as common as cars! Oddly, not as much emphasis on knitting. Enjoy your day!
@gayleklein8890 thank you, you too 😊
Such a lovely episode ❤️
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Ohh lovely trip! ❤️ My cousin may be coming to visit (Norway) & I was thinking of meeting her in Copenhagen… and I may need to allow time for a visit to Woolstock! Love the Making backpack as well. But my goal before buying any more yarn is to knit up a good bit of my stash… so not sure I will have time. But it looks like a lovely shop! ❤️
Oh delightful! I hope you have a good time, wherever you decide to meet. Woolstock is definitely worth a visit at some point 😊
My name is Mary and I live in Crown Point, IN about an hour and a 1/2 from Chicago, IL. I
enjoyed your video of shopping in Copenhagen! I will be coming to the U K on 6/26. We will be staying in Southampton for a few days. We will be leaving on a Mediterranean Cruise on the pm. I noticed there are several knit shops to explore. Could you suggest some U K yarn. I was thinking of wool to knit hats or sock yarn? Thank you!
Hi Mary, thanks for saying hello :) I hope you have a lovely trip! West Yorkshire Spinners is a nice UK yarn company, though a little bigger. I like to look out for smaller business or individual hand dyers, which can vary from place to place. I hope you have a lovely time!
Lovely video. Thanks for sharing. I would love to visit next year for my birthday.
Also, what is the green sweater you’re wearing? I love it.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊 the sweater is the Oslo Sweater by Petite Knit. I knitted it in WYS colour lab (pear green). I wear it a lot, it's so cosy ☺️
Stunning video Lorna! Thank you for sharing all your amazing footage from the yarn shops in Copenhagen. I was just wondering about the yarn-needle storage bag you are planning to make. Have you found a pattern? I would like to make a storage bag or case for needles and would appreciate some guidance. Your videos are always such a joy to watch but this one was extra special!
Hey, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm drafting my own pattern for the needle storage bag, but I'll share it once I'm done 😊
@@threadandyarn Thank you Lorna - that would be super!
Thanks for sharing your visit to Copenhagen with us! I really enjoyed your tours of the yarn stores. Do you have any idea what the pattern for the blue and white sample hanging in the window of Brunn Strikk was ? I'd really love a closer look a it :)
It is Nordic Mix Sweater by Laura Dalgaard / Rauma Garn Fremstrik 2023
It is so lovely. Christmas greetings from Denmark 😊🎄🇩🇰
Thank you @@gittevilstrup520💕 !!! I really like this sweater ! Christmas greeting to you too from Montreal 🇨🇦🎄
Thank you for this, I forgot to ask the shop!!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it 😊 I see your question was answered by another helpful watcher. I actually forgot to ask the pattern name in the shop, so this is very useful for me too 😊 it's such a lovely design!
Lovely looking yarn, it's a shame I can't wear wool, lanolin is horrible for me,❤
Ah dear, does superwash feel any better if the lanolin is difficult?
@@threadandyarnno it's still ĥorrid.😢
The KfO shop seemed so museum like I would be afraid touching something. 😅
Yes, it was a bit! Maybe I just caught them on an off day. I don't think I was supposed to pick things up off the shelf though, just tell them what I wanted 😅
Was the person's name "marleene nits"? I couldnt find it
Hey, it was @marleneknits :)
Lovely video - thanks for making and sharing. I know what you mean about frosty receptions and how that can affect your shopping experience. I recently went to Raystitch in north London as I'd heard good things about them and liked their website - however the staff were less than friendly. Won't be going back! If you are interested Fruity Knitting has just done an interview with Knitting for Olive here: ruclips.net/video/xYH6Ybz_R-Q/видео.htmlsi=ZxrOrX3SU4QdBNKX. (Also - so pleased that you still say 'shop' rather than 'store'!)
Hey Judith 😊 that's a shame about Raystitch! I've been a few times and it's always been nice, but it can really put you off when that happens. Thanks for the video recommendation, I'll have a watch x
Too little vlogging, too much talking. Neither thumbs up nor thumbs down eh
Ah sorry there was too much talking afterwards - I didn't want to spend too much time talking about it while I was there. Thanks for the watch anyway 😊
