I used to use them as stuffing, but then I stopped making things that needed to be stuffed. 🙈 I tend to have more white and gray yarn waste than other colors, but they're perfect for lightening colors up a bit as well :)

Aw, thanks! ♥ I created it to answer a question, but had to use the gimbal as a phone mount. I didn't realize until later that this was POV or from a "first person perspective", which I have to say I kind of like now :)

Thank you! ♥

Aw, thanks for the subscribe! ♥ It's not necessary to wash beforehand unless you have something really gross in there that you don't want to end up in your carders. (Wool is a self-cleaning fiber.) I would rinse it after (which cleans it a bit) when it is on the niddy-noddy and let it dry to set the twist. Alternatively, I'd soak the yarn the yarn, thwack it, and then hang it to dry with a weight on it.

I believe you can, but the fibers would be shorter so it would depend on what you like to spin with. My friend, @knittingwithnele tested it with some cotton & linen and made a nice skein of yarn, but found it a bit more difficult than wool. The end texture was a bit different, but she still had a really nice skein of yarn to work with :) I make things for Viking reenactment, so most of my yarn is Wool, but there some have a percentage of acrylic, alpaca, and silk in there. (The little green pieces on the purple yarn are 100% silk, but they twisted in nicely). The wool has longer fibers which works really well for spinning in any super-short fibers. - just remember what you used when washing anything later ;)

The cotton/bamboo/other cellulose fibres didn't break from a ply, so they did mixed in to the woolen/polyamide/acrylic/other base, but as a separate thread, which caused a bit of extra work in the spinning and plying phase. Also cable plied merino was terrible to blend in! A little bit of cellulose fibres weren't a problem, but a lot might become quite an issue.

Thank you! That's the fun part of making these. You can really experiment with colors 😍

I’d love to have the colors divided but I need more bins and space. That would totally cut down on the sorting time. 😍 I like the idea of using the fleece for felting! But then, you’d definitely want to have your fibers sorted as well. 👍. I mainly this yarn for pouches and bags which rarely get washed (or a good soak will do) so I just mix all the fibers. If this were to be used for a clothing item, that wouldn’t work so wrong when it came to washing.

Yep, it's a bit of work, but it's nice to know the short bits can be used for something other than stuffing :). If it's less than 10 inches, I'm usually too lazy to splice with it. Most of my yarn stash is outdated and If I can't find something in a similar weight to use it with... -or if there's not enough to make a small pouch... then I just throw it in the scrap bucket. Most of these pieces are cut from weaving in at the end of a project. -or mid project if I used a lazy join.

Haha! There may be a reason you'll be living in the pit house at the far end of the village.... ;)

@@kbyom good point 😜👍

Happy to hear sick Karl's tip helped! <3 He's left that book behind at his father's house to read when he visits every other week. 2 more visits and he'll probably have read it. I'll ask him for a review. (I have to say... The cover was cool! hehe! )

Ha! Learned something new! This is an easier way to keep track of comments too! Thank you!!

@@kbyom one is glad to be of service😁👍 This IT job has to be good for something😉

@@jayvonaltengart9297 haha! 😂 Shhh! I’m trying to turn him into a clean Viking. 🤫👍😇

@@jayvonaltengart9297 haha!! Godzilla has done that to Karl a few times by closing the laptop! Cats are evil!! 😼😼

@@Inkjourney_Niki this sounds like Avery productive illness! I’m almost jealous! 👏👏. You’re making good use of your down time! 😍

@@abramas005 how wonderful! This will be a good one to start with, just keep an eye on the twist and you’ll be set! It’s not my favorite stitch because of the twist but if I needle-tension it, I actually like it 😍

Skål!! We miss you guys! <3

@@Inkjourney_Niki ah!! How do you like it?

@ I haven’t done it in the round yet. The reason I couldn’t get it was because it was too simple - I had to complicate it. I like that it looks knitted but wouldn’t want to make a pair of socks with it! I would want really thin yarn and small loops for a tight knit. I have to take a break from Nalbinding because I can tell my hands have had a decent workout this holiday - made 2 mittens (Oslo), a e-reader cover (Oslo), a test sample for Coptic and a matching beanie - in progress to match the mittens - which all have a 2-colour round start - another “Achievement unlocked”! (My dad says “You really never stop).

@@Inkjourney_Niki the round start is a bit tricky and fiddly on this stitch. I had 2 bad starts before KZbin and went with a wrist warmer tube instead. But then it kicked in and I started liking it again, so the wristwarmers turned into a mitten 😇

@@leofsige haha! I totally didn’t think about the pre-licked, petted, and carried angle! That cat is TOTALLY used!! Karl says that you nailed him to a “T”. It’s always good to have a code just in case you have to be criminal. 😹😹

Good morning! <3

@@Simbel88 aw ♥️♥️. I’m behind on emails due to the holiday season and limited staffing, so this could be my fault. 🫣 I’m playing “catch up” this week so I should come across it soon. I’d need a photo of the kit you plan to use in the village, reenactment experience, and the dates you’d like to stay. You would need to bring bedding (a sleeping bag & pillow will do) a flash light and your own food. The freemen have access to a fully-stocked modern kitchen, washing machines and showers.

We loved those when we first got them in 2021, but they stopped working with the Iphone12 a few years ago. This new phone is a 16 and we have renewed hope that they will work with this one, but haven't tested them yet. 🤞

@kbyom fingers crossed 🤞🤞

We had a 1 hour layover in Munich and almost missed our flight to Bergen due to a last minute gate change 😬

@kbyom well, last minute gate or rail track changes are a very german thing...

LOL! I'm truly with my kin now! haha! I used the sleeve to wipe off his can and a nail clipper to cut my yarn. I'm a real class act! 😆🤣😂😅☺

We have the possibility of ordering it online... which is weird considering it's alcohol, but we have to pick it up at the local convenience store and they card us. Maybe something similar exists? 2 years? Karl wouldn't last 2 weeks! hehe!!

Doh! I was a bit late posting it. I was hoping to have my Coptic sample a bit further along for a thumbnail, but had to give in and posted it with only 40 mins to go... 😬

Heard your new book is coming out! Super excited!

@@kbyom Yes. But KZbin is not letting me post a link.

I've tried three times and it either tells me there's an error or just immediately removes the post when I refresh. It may be reacting to the link as spam.

@@pjlightning1995 Ah, that sucks. Maybe a written out Amazon search: Amazon - "title"

Yes! <3 We will school the Norwegian one yet! <3

We found out it was Brunehaut Amber. It's in Norwegian, but you can google translate it: www.vinmonopolet.no/Land/Belgia/Brunehaut-Amber/p/5097502

Ah! My memory was failing me! I remember you got to meet him and thought he was Fabulous! He's so talented! <3

Definitely an easier method and I wouldn't have had to sew it up with a different color, but I was trying to make a simple pattern. I will have to do another one though, because I hadn't intended on flipping it upside down to keep the pink at the top 🙄

I was trying to be PC, but my kids just love the kitty ears! I have to make a Gwenpool version one for her twi now...

It's a disease... I'm convinced! We need a support group that involves obtaining more yarn... 😋

Oh my gosh! He hasn't tried that one yet, but judging by the description, I don't think it would go down well. ...That could be fun! 😈

@ yes it’s beer and grapefruit, not Karl beer

@@daretohope986 sounds perfect!

Ah! That makes sense! My mom may have made them as a project with her church group <3

Aw, thank you! Welcome to the gang! <3 Definitely post your hat when it's done! We'd love to see the effect of the Oslo-Danish combo! 🤗

@@kbyom Will post it soon. It's quite pretty. Thanks for the welcome. I am so hooked with this group, there is so much to learn and everyone is so super nice.

Wow! 4 generations are becoming rare these days! Definitely cherish the time! <3

Aww!! Thank you! 🥰🥰

Thanks! The front microphone is picking him up better on the new phone, but not as well as I had hoped. We'll continue to use the facing microphone until we get to test external microphones again.

3 quilts and an afghan I think... Maybe 4. We can have a look at them tonight! $70.00 for an additional bag under the plane. I should have done it, but didn't think we could carry it... I'm an idiot.

Ooh I'm so happy to hear that! 💕 I should get better at labeling and tagging videos but I'm too busy crafting! hehe! Karl and I have a weekly "Live" that we do just for fun. I try to cover a bit of nalbinding help in each one. :)

Thank you! My goal is to keep them short and focused :) So happy it could help! 💕

Yay!!! Thank you! Happy to hear this old dog can still be taught a new trick! 🥰

Hello! Happy days and mayonnaise! :)

It was nice to be back! We weren't expecting the internet issues we had, but we hope to get some of the offline stuff uploaded one of these days.

Sadly, this was a tricky one. I added more internet allowance but wasn't expecting it to take 2 hours to activate :( Any new links get created on the spot. If you're subscribed to the channel with notifications on, you'll get a notification immediately when one is created. We still need to edit and upload offline stuff... gah!

@@crumpledrag2732 those expressions are the best! 🤣. Funny thing was that he was actually expecting to like it because it was a stout and it may have been smokey enough to cover up the black currant taste a bit…. But nope! 😅

@@kbyomhey. I’m sorry if your current stream has failed,is there like a back up link to your stream this week??
