Thank you very much. I will do with carded wool. Love the color you achieved. I have dyed wool yarn for dolls hair with onion skin and I got a pale yellou. For the purpuse it loocked good. But now I want more shades. Thank you very much for your work. And for sharing it. I am from Brazil. Perdon for my poor English.

I too knit socks with natural yarns. My skin doesn’t stand nylon. My experience with Mondim varies. I think that the variegated colours are more resistant than the solid ones. I enjoyed your podcast a lot. Cristina in Lisbon, Portugal.

Hi Cristina, thanks so much for your comment! I find it very interesting what you say about the stability of the different Mondim colorways. So far, I have only made mitts with Mondim but I am looking forward to seeing how the yarn will hold up in socks. Thank you for sharing your experience.

@@AnnikaScheer Suppose I'm a yarn hoarder, but I knit and crochet very much - and I love to go through my yarns and simply see and enjoy them and 'play' with them - that's how I get ideas what to make. They are all commercial yarns though, because I buy them in a kind of outlet or from people who get them in outlets, on the weekly market. I try to get cones whenever I can, because they last longer and become 'friends' as they are used in several different projects. There are also lots of yarn balls without tags - but often I don't know which yarn it is, so I search all the websites and it's like a win when I find it. So schöne handgefärbte Garne wie du sie machst ✨habe ich allerdings nicht 😌Liebe Grüsse

Hi, Anika! Wonderful video, so many great things coming off your needles! And happy birthday early, congrats on getting your spinning wheel, and making your first skein of yarn! It looks amazing! One thing I would love to hear you talk about some day, if possible, is how you go about re-doing the math for an entire project based on your swatch’s “per inch/cm & row” gauge? I’ve only recently learned (from watching a Wool, Needles, Hands video) how to correctly choose the size in a pattern based on your own gauge swatch when it’s different than the recommended gauge. But I wouldn’t have a clue how to do what you do, and I would be interested to hear how you do it! Anyway, thanks for sharing your expertise with us!
