Thinking about people who have helped us along, I couldn’t help think about my grandma. She taught me how to crochet when I was 13 and more than 50 years later I am still crocheting and knitting. It brought such a sense of joy and accomplishment in what I created then and it still does.
I am in a transformation of my life and I so understand the message from this video. I love and appreciate the loved ones in my life who have been supporting me this past year.
I just can’t get enough of your sparkly energy and infectious enthusiasm for the beautiful things you bring into our view❣️❣️❣️. The new barber pole yarn is an awesome addition to your line 😍
I've been following you for about three years now and your Friday videos are the highlight of my week! Over the Christmas holiday I finally sat down "with you" and learned how to knit! I'm so excited to be able to do both knitting and crochet with you now! My eldest daughter has also joined in, and it would be lovely to receive this set of yarn for us to share. I love sitting with her and working on a project while we drink something hot and shoot the breeze!
Oh my goodness, what a lovely shawl. I've been crocheting for 60 years and just learned to knit a couple of years ago, my knitting projects have gradually increased in difficulty but never something as ambitious as this. I think it's time to push myself out of my comfort zone for this beautiful piece. Thank you for your frequent words of comfort and joy.
Chandi, I love ❤️ all the yarns you've dyed over the years! Life is truly wonderful when you can concentrate on letting your creative juices flow uninterrupted!! Thank you for being such a real person and sharing with all of us!!
I love how the color combinations become gradients. It’s so unexpected but beautiful. Just like in life sometimes the unexpected leads us to wonderful things. I would love to work with this yarn and see what happens.
I do so admire your sensitivity to colour variations, with all of the (endless) possibilities that are created by mixing colours in a skein. Thank you as well for the free patterns!
I started dyeing bare yarn a few years ago (and have SO much to learn); thus, I’m always inspired by the new yarns you regularly introduce. I’m also in awe by the process you follow as you create each new yarn. Meanwhile, I’m still in the “can I get a yarn that is adequately dyed?” mode. Yet, I’m hopeful that someday (sooner than later) I can follow the feel of my heart and the message of the yarn instead of feeling so tied to tried and true (yet uninspired) “formulas” when I embark on a new dyeing adventure. This new yarn is simply gorgeous. I’m thankful that you go on walks with Tim and talk and dream; we’re the lucky recipients of these strolls. Thank you. ❤
Oh, thanks so much for the heartfelt words! I love hearing you're trying something new. Just keep practicing, and I know you'll get to where you want to be!
This yarn is absolutely exquisite! I love your idea of putting together unexpected color combinations! Knowing how buttery soft your yarns are, I can't wait to see and feel this set, either by winning or by purchasing! Good luck to everyone!
I just love your sweet positive attitude on life, it spills over into your love of the art of creating fabric from yarn. I love to crochet and quilt, my husband teases me about cutting apart fabric to create another fabric. Hope you have a wonderful day 🥰
I love how you incorporate the emotions with the pattern pieces, and how you love your yarns, you are a delight to listen too, and my knitting abilities have improved so much by watching these videos Thank you 😊
Gradients are my absolute favorite. I do it sometimes by working with 2 yarns at once. It looks like you have combined that concept into one yarn. What a beautiful idea. I would love to use this yarn. I also love you life stories. Keep bringing your inspiration to us.
I loved this update. In these turbulent times connection to family and friends is more important than ever. The never-ending circle of this magnificent shawl brings light and goodness to all who knit it, wear it, and seeing. I would Love to have a set of this yarn and knit this shawl in the colors shown. Thank you Chandi. . Love , Light, and Blessings. 🥰💕🤗
Just moved somewhere cold so I've been knitting up a storm going through all of my shawl paterns by you (Join the weekly newsletter yall!!!!) and lovelovelove mixing my colors so I think these new yarns are going to be a must have addition to my Yarn Closet! and! thanks again for another video full of good vibes :)
I love being a knitting "artist" as you say. 🙂 I'd love to try this yarn simply because I think of people and handmade gifts I'd like to make for them. One friend (a mom of 8) sent me a crocheted blanket for my 7th baby. I opened the box, saw it, and knew it was a blanket she made and prayed over for me - and immediately cried. Those kinds of gifts are just.so.special! ❤️
I have always loved the idea of a circular shawl but have been too afraid to try it. I love how you offer the tip of a lifeline which I just heard about only a couple of months ago. I also love the idea of using gradient colors so they blend well and the artistic comment of creating something that didn’t exist before! That’s what I love about knitting. Thanks for always offering your free patterns! 🥰
Thanks for the Fred Rogers reminder. He was an amazing presence for my children and for me because of them - I did not believe in plunking my kids in front of the living room TV as a childminder, so I'd listen from the kitchen and visit with them every few minutes as I prepped dinner. Such a pretty shawl and such lovely yarn! I like the "barber pole" concept. As a kid, I played with trying to learn crochet and twining navy and black was one of my first experiments. The idea of blending the yarns as you suggest intrigues me. I do use stitch markers and lifelines; they make a big difference in my confidence! There are even needles that make adding lifelines effortless!
The gradient in the new Artistic yarn is a wonderful idea! Assisting in the yarn artist (in all of us) in making beautiful transitions and color combinations. Wow!
Your yarn is absolutely gorgeous. I am new to knitting and love your messages and uplifting reminders. I am teaching myself to knit after suffering a head injury ending my 30 year nursing career. Knitting and crochet are calming and help me focus. They have greatly helped my memory and I want to continue to learn, and grow and heal. Thank you for all that you do and share.
Sometimes I run your videos as background while I'm crafting as I enjoy the way you communicate and share kind words. I've also knit your patterns but have never used your yarn before. This gradient yarn is lovely and the shawl is beautiful!
I’ve never tried to make a circular shawl. It would be wonderful to learn using your new yarn. Thank you for all the inspiration and support you provide to our fiber arts community!
I’m a long time follower of Expression Fiber Arts. Everything about you, your encouraging words, and your brand as a whole is beautiful and inspiring! Most of your knitting patterns require multiple skeins, so I enter your yarn giveaways each month. It would be an incredible honor to win the stunning yarn you create!
This circular shawl is jaw-dropping, which makes me very intimidated to start. All your patterns are amazing and you make them seem so easy. Thank you for sharing your talents.
I absolutely love your yarns and patterns. I feel encouraged and supported to expand what I thought I could do into the reality of endless possibilities into tangible memories. The Lumin pattern is definitely on my to due list now. Thank you for being here for us all.
Find your website last year, with the help of your beautiful yarns and amazing designers I fell back in love with crochet. I never knew hand-dyed yarn existed until then. Now I'm completely addicted. The love that you and your team put into everything that you all do is inspiring.
I would love to see your unexpected combinations in person! Multicolored yarns are one of my favorite things, and this yarn is multicolored in a different manner from most!
You are so sweet and positive. I love listening to you and see all your new creations. I love the new yarn and colors they are beautiful just like you.
Chandi, you are so creative. Your new yarn is amazing and I can see from your newest pattern it would be fun to work with by mixing and matching colors. You are so up beat and positive about life, to live to its fullest. You influence a lot of people and make them fell good about being alive. Thank you for all the beautiful yarns and patterns.
I love marled yarns. Your new line has beautiful colors and endless possibilities! Thanks for continuing to show us new patterns and knitting & crocheting ideas.
There is nothing better than an entire collection of lovely squishy yarn. I love this pattern and would love to use it as a dining table cloth. Especially with this stunning collection. You share the prettiest yarns. You have taught me to knit thru covid and I will always be grateful for all you do.
I look forward to hearing from you every week, from your emails, the Facebook sessions, and especially your Free Pattern Fridays! You are so generous and vibrant... You make my heart happy 😊 This new shawl pattern is awesome! I've never used lifelines, but I'd still like to attempt this beauty. And winning the yarn would be great!!
Why would i like it? Because it's absolutely gorgeous! Who wouldn't like it? I'd like to convert this knit pattern to similar crochet stitches. I do like the gradient and earthy tone. Beautiful Friday as always. Thanks.
Beautiful colors...and they do compliment each other, especially in the shawl! I would definitely make the shawl into a tablecloth so everyone can enjoy it!💞💝💖
This yarn looks amazing. And Chandi’s right. When I knit, I create, and I really do feel like an artist. I’d love to create a work of beauty with this yarn.
This is going to be my first time making anything this intricate! I can't wait...I have ordered my yarn. Knitting is my anxiety drug. I am almost 59, work full time and raising twin 6 year old twins. Life can be difficult but your yarn and all of these beautiful patterns help me through my days!! Thank you Chandi and team!!
The shawl is so beautiful, and the yarn is absolutely stunning 😍. I love the idea of the colors and even through the screen, I could see how flowy and soft it is. Thank you so much Chandi for teaching and inspiring us with gorgeous yarn, patterns and wonderful tutorials.
I have been wanting to do more knitting projects, and this feels like a sign. I just had a conversation with a student today about life and loss and holding onto the the love and connection we had. It was cathartic, for both of us honestly. It's been a long week at school, and I think this is the project I want to do next.
I can’t stop thinking about all of the projects I would love to do with this yarn. Love the color coordination. Thank you for creating another beautiful yarn.
I love that you said that beautiful things can come out of the unexpected events. I'm working on my beautiful thing after something completely unexpected. ❤️
I've been crocheting for 30 years & only learned to knit this past year, but have already fallen in love with it! I am constantly looking for new techniques to stretch my skills & have been absolutely addicted to your beautiful yarns for years! I can't wait to try this pattern & to try out that new yarn! & winning would be even better! :)
What a wonderful way to start my day, when I wake up every Friday can’t wait to open my RUclips ; with my first coffee ;to check out your new pattern video! Needless to say I am absolutely drooling over the yarns, do let me be the lucky winner 🏆🤗🥰🥹🤩🤣 , have a great weekend everyone ❤
Stunning! I look forward to free pattern Friday every week and to watch the creativity come to life. The colors of the yarn are gorgeous, and I would be thrilled to be able to complete the pattern with the yarn you intended. You have helped me improve each time that I watch your tutorials, and your calming voice and positivity help me relax and enjoy my time as I work on my latest project. Thank you, Chandi 😊!
I love love love how you take the guess work out of color fading. You make it easy and effortless!! Thank you! I look forward to doing this pattern with your beautiful yarn 🧶
Your beautiful soul shines out of you, every Friday you start my day off with a smile, thank you. Your new yarn collection is absolutely gorgeous! I hope I get a chance to try it.
Hearing the Fred Rogers quote about the special ones who have loved us into being feels like stepping into the light. Thanks for including it in your video. If I won your. new yarn, I would use the set to make a throw for my granddaughter and show her that love.
Gorgeous! If I won the yarn to make a stunningly beautiful Lumin I would, for the first time in my 63 years of knitting attempt a project on that scale, including using a lifeline, and thanks for the reminder tip about that. When I was knitting, way back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, no one had yet thought of using lifelines, and oh, the horror of having to rip back to the beginning of a lace project and having to start over because it was impossible to do anything else! I was once in a couple of programs by an organization whose motto was "Expect the unexpected." They had programs all over the world and that motto was perfect, and has been one of my own for a long time.
I would love to get use this yarn in my happy place when I need some self-care during the week of busyness. All of the colors bring a smile on my face.
I love that pattern and the yarn ❤I am turning 60 this year and am a life long crocheter who has just taught herself how to knit. It is slow going but it's worth it 🤩
Ooooo! Beautiful! I’d love to use this set because I am in love with all things gradient! Fun to know there is a “hidden” surprise just waiting for us to find it because of our color combos. We should approach each day like that: No matter what happens, there is a hidden surprise just waiting for us to discover. And, no matter what the surprise happens to be, we will grow from it. Thanks, Chandi, for your generosity and for sharing your positive outlook.
What a lovely video!! Your excitement and passion for sumptuous yarns, enchanting colours and fabulous patterns is incredibly infectious! I love knitting shawls and am completely enthralled with the idea of finally doing a circular one. This delightful new yarn introduces a whole new element of extraordinary to any knit or crochet project!! 🎉 I can’t wait to get started! Thank you for your weekly dose of inspiration!
Like this beautiful Lumin shawl, YOU Chandi are RADIANT and always bring light into our lives! The EFA Team has created meaningful CONNECTIONS with the fiber COMMUNITY and the people all around us. My sense of CONTINUITY is reading your emails and watching your videos. I appreciate you and all that you do....thank you!
I’ve only made on pi shawl in my life but this is the most stunning one I’ve ever seen. I love all of your videos and patterns. Thanks for your uplifting videos
Ty for encouraging videos and emails. I knit and crochet. Texture as well as color are a must. I love sock lace and fingering yarns. Good luck to all who enter and ty again
I have been purchasing yarn from EFA for a while now and have NEVER been disappointed!! Chandi has such a beautiful spirit and I love her yarn. I have also made such wonderful items from the patterns offered on the site. I would absolutely love to try this new yarn. I have already downloaded the associated pattern and can’t wait to cast it on!! Thanks so much , Chandi, for your electric presence in the knitting community!! You are such a happy and positive soul and soooooooooooo much appreciated!! ❤
I had a really bad experience learning to knit as a young and extremely shy Girl Scout, many, many years ago. As a result, I gave it up. Many years later I taught myself to crochet, and have become pretty darn good at it. My skill level has greatly improved, because of your tutorials and those of another RUclipsr. I wouldn’t even attempt to try this pattern - now. But, I recently saw that you posted a tutorial for beginning knitters. So, at the age of 76, I’m going to break out the needles and give it a go! Your new yarn looks absolutely luscious, and if I win it, I’ll practice until I can create something gorgeous, using your patterns. You are amazing, and I adore your posts and your sweet little self - and Tim, too! 🥰
Good morning Chandi! You're positive attitude and love of beauty shine through in this pattern and your new yarn! I can't wait to try this pattern!! It is so beautiful! Thank you for your creative light in this world! Lisa
This pattern caught my eye and I am so excited to make it! Thank you for the free pattern. I love how these new yarns play together as good neighbors (Fred Rogers is one of my favorite humans ever!) The colors are stunning and barber pole effect is an artistic touch. Well named!
How exciting a new yarn collection! I love new yarn, and your yarn is always so beautiful . Who would not want to win it?! This shawl will definitely be a challenge.
wow! Just beautiful! If I had that yarn, I would surprise a friend, who is raising her grandchildren on her own and just celebrated a year as a double masectomy breast cancer survivor. She is so deserving and I've wanted to create something beautifully different for her. I've never used a nice yarn like that, and would be as excited as a child on Christmas if I was ever able to purchase such beautiful yarn. Thanks for sharing another georgous pattern!
Thinking about people who have helped us along, I couldn’t help think about my grandma. She taught me how to crochet when I was 13 and more than 50 years later I am still crocheting and knitting. It brought such a sense of joy and accomplishment in what I created then and it still does.
I'm so happy you have such a lovely memory of her. ❤
Oh my, this new yarn is gorgeous! Your commitment and generosity to your customers are boundless. Thank you!
You are so welcome! 💕

You can do it! Just take it one stitch at a time!
My yarn arrived today!!! I’m so excited to get started!!!
knitting and crochet is such a joy handed down thru generations to feel something u made on you in soft yarn
Yes, indeed! 💕
Chandi, I love ❤️ all the yarns you've dyed over the years! Life is truly wonderful when you can concentrate on letting your creative juices flow uninterrupted!! Thank you for being such a real person and sharing with all of us!!

I love a good SQUISHY yarn, and the color twist is so cool!! Beautiful color palette too- you did a great job with this one, Chandi!
Thank you so much!
The concept of pi shawls fascinate me. Thanks for the inspiration with the new yarn - I love to use gradients.
My pleasure! 💕

This circular shawl is jaw-dropping, which makes me very intimidated to start. All your patterns are amazing and you make them seem so easy. Thank you for sharing your talents.
No need to be intimidated. Just go one stitch, one row at a time and use lifelines. Enjoy! 💕
The colors are stunning, the texture is certainly special, I can imagine making pillows out of it...or many pillows with a matching blanket. 🙂
That would be fun!
I feel so wealthy in friends and fiber when I run my fingers through your soft yummy yarn!!
🥰🥰🥰
The colors are so beautiful and you're right about the drape. It just looks like something you really cannot help but touch!
Aww, thank you! ❤️
I absolutely love your yarns and patterns. I feel encouraged and supported to expand what I thought I could do into the reality of endless possibilities into tangible memories. The Lumin pattern is definitely on my to due list now. Thank you for being here for us all.
Wonderful, I hope you will love making it! 💕
OMG, that shawl is so gorgeous. I would love to knit that in beautiful colors to gift it to someone special who would appreciate it.
Great idea!! 💕
What gorgeous yarn, and the blending of the colors is so beautiful! Lumin shows it off beautifully!
I totally agree!
Oh my I would be over the moon to receive this and make this beautiful pattern to stay in my family for generations
Good luck! ❤️

Thank you! I hope you enjoy making it. 😊
I am truly intrigued by the idea of a knitted circular shawl and the colors in this one are beautiful. I may need to give this a try.
Wonderful! 💕
I have been wanting to do more knitting projects, and this feels like a sign. I just had a conversation with a student today about life and loss and holding onto the the love and connection we had.

Stunning! I look forward to free pattern Friday every week and to watch the creativity come to life. The colors of the yarn are gorgeous, and I would be thrilled to be able to complete the pattern with the yarn you intended. You have helped me improve each time that I watch your tutorials, and your calming voice and positivity help me relax and enjoy my time as I work on my latest project. Thank you, Chandi 😊!
Oh, thank you so much! That's sweet of you to say!
I love love love how you take the guess work out of color fading. You make it easy and effortless!! Thank you! I look forward to doing this pattern with your beautiful yarn 🧶
Awesome! I hope you love making your very own!
Your beautiful soul shines out of you, every Friday you start my day off with a smile, thank you. Your new yarn collection is absolutely gorgeous! I hope I get a chance to try it.
Oh, thank you so much! ❤
You always have beautiful yarn. We can feel all the hard work and passion of the people who create it. Made with looove. 🥰
❤❤❤
This is an absolutely stunning shawl! It is definitely going to the top of my "waiting to be knit" queue!! Thank you SO much!
My pleasure! 💕
Hearing the Fred Rogers quote about the special ones who have loved us into being feels like stepping into the light. Thanks for including it in your video. If I won your. new yarn, I would use the set to make a throw for my granddaughter and show her that love.
Love that! ❤️
The yarns look beautiful and the shawl also. Looks like a challenging pattern.
Glad you like it. It's not as hard as it looks... just one stitch at a time.
The Artistic Sport yarn is gorgeous!! I'm looking forward to playing with the colors in a new crochet pattern. Thank you!
So happy you like it!
That yarn is beautiful! The shawl is also beautiful! I love working with the yarns I have purchased, they are all so very soft and luxurious!
Fabulous! Glad you like it. 💕
I loved the description of the name of your new yarn as well as the beautiful hues. So organic. You are so creative and prolific.
Thank you so much! 💕
I just have to say this pattern and the yarn used are so beautiful! It would be so wonderful to win such a dazzling collection. Good luck to all.😎
💕💕💕
Gorgeous! If I won the yarn to make a stunningly beautiful Lumin I would, for the first time in my 63 years of knitting attempt a project on that scale, including using a lifeline, and thanks for the reminder tip about that. When I was knitting, way back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth, no one had yet thought of using lifelines, and oh, the horror of having to rip back to the beginning of a lace project and having to start over because it was impossible to do anything else!
I was once in a couple of programs by an organization whose motto was "Expect the unexpected." They had programs all over the world and that motto was perfect, and has been one of my own for a long time.
I'm so happy you love this one!
I would love to get use this yarn in my happy place when I need some self-care during the week of busyness. All of the colors bring a smile on my face.
I'm glad you like it! Take care!
I love that pattern and the yarn ❤I am turning 60 this year and am a life long crocheter who has just taught herself how to knit. It is slow going but it's worth it 🤩
Wonderful. It's totally worth it. Happy Knitting (and Crocheting). ❤️
This yarn would make a beautiful shawl I would love it
💕💕💕
Ooooo! Beautiful! I’d love to use this set because I am in love with all things gradient! Fun to know there is a “hidden” surprise just waiting for us to find it because of our color combos. We should approach each day like that: No matter what happens, there is a hidden surprise just waiting for us to discover. And, no matter what the surprise happens to be, we will grow from it. Thanks, Chandi, for your generosity and for sharing your positive outlook.
Oh thank you! And you're very welcome. ❤️
This is the most beautiful piece of loveliness I have ever seen! I could only dream of being able to create it! The yarn is just as beautiful.
Thanks and I'm glad you like it! 💕

I just love this pattern and the colors of this new yarn look absolutely gorgeous! I'd love to tackle this project with the new yarn!
Awesome! 💕
I have been purchasing yarn from EFA for a while now and have NEVER been disappointed!! Chandi has such a beautiful spirit and I love her yarn. I have also made such wonderful items from the patterns offered on the site. I would absolutely love to try this new yarn. I have already downloaded the associated pattern and can’t wait to cast it on!! Thanks so much , Chandi, for your electric presence in the knitting community!! You are such a happy and positive soul and soooooooooooo much appreciated!! ❤
Oh thank you! ❤️
I had a really bad experience learning to knit as a young and extremely shy Girl Scout, many, many years ago. As a result, I gave it up. Many years later I taught myself to crochet, and have become pretty darn good at it. My skill level has greatly improved, because of your tutorials and those of another RUclipsr. I wouldn’t even attempt to try this pattern - now. But, I recently saw that you posted a tutorial for beginning knitters. So, at the age of 76, I’m going to break out the needles and give it a go! Your new yarn looks absolutely luscious, and if I win it, I’ll practice until I can create something gorgeous, using your patterns. You are amazing, and I adore your posts and your sweet little self - and Tim, too! 🥰
Oh, I LOVE that so much! I hate that knitting was spoiled for you so early, but so HAPPY to hear you're going to give it another try!
I love how the yarn flow, and the colors are beautiful. In addition to the lumin pi shawl I would love to the flow of colors in a cardigan .
Glad you like it! 💕
Good morning Chandi! You're positive attitude and love of beauty shine through in this pattern and your new yarn! I can't wait to try this pattern!! It is so beautiful! Thank you for your creative light in this world! Lisa
You're welcome! And thank you for the kind words!
This pattern caught my eye and I am so excited to make it! Thank you for the free pattern. I love how these new yarns play together as good neighbors (Fred Rogers is one of my favorite humans ever!) The colors are stunning and barber pole effect is an artistic touch. Well named!
You are so welcome! And thank you.
How exciting a new yarn collection! I love new yarn, and your yarn is always so beautiful . Who would not want to win it?! This shawl will definitely be a challenge.
Good luck!! 💕
Love the new pattern and the new yarn. They are work and go together and would be fun to put into one huge fade project.
Definitely! ❤
Patterns like this are why I need to learn knitting! And this yarn is so creative and gorgeous! 😍 So many beautiful and unexpected combos!
You can do it! 🥰
wow! Just beautiful! If I had that yarn, I would surprise a friend, who is raising her grandchildren on her own and just celebrated a year as a double masectomy breast cancer survivor. She is so deserving and I've wanted to create something beautifully different for her. I've never used a nice yarn like that, and would be as excited as a child on Christmas if I was ever able to purchase such beautiful yarn. Thanks for sharing another georgous pattern!
You're welcome! ❤ All the best to you and your friend. ❤
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thank you! 💜
Wow! What a lovely, versatile circle pattern 😍 I would love to knit a matching hat and fingerless gloves with this yarn!
I'm so happy you like it!
