All the yarns are so expensive to get in Australia😭😭 so sad

i’ve also got ridiculously sensitive skin and sensory issues so this was really helpful, would be really interested in ur opinion on drops air once your project is finished

Does anyone know of a crochet pattern with a similar shape to the breezy sweater? It’s so gorgeous but I don’t knit 😭

Favourite yarn this year has been malabrigo worsted! It’s super soft merino wool with just the right about of fuzz and the subtle variety in thickness/hue gives a nice dimension to the piece. Also it has a really beautiful drape and all of the colours are gorgeous

I’m sensitive to wool yarns too and my favorite yarn of 2024 was Hjertegarn 120 Extrafine Merino😍 It’s sooooo soft and warm, and wears great!

I was casually watching your video when I see that you have a shot of my insta post about the sebastian sweater!!!!!! thank you for making my day!!!! (the stringtheorypractice one)- adding your other recs to my ravelry to dos haha

I am also a relatively sensitive person and some of these are not the same for me. I am VERY sensitive to alpaca so the brushed alpaca is itch city to me but the drops Alaska I find to be just a semi-dry feeling wool - not at all itchy. Happy to have more recommendations tho

Do you know of a plain fitted cami pattern? like flat on the top but loosely fits around your body? I want to duplicate stitch over some flower patterns but can not find a good pattern for my lifeee

Loved this. I've watched a lot of rank videos but none have been about yarn so this was lovely. Definitely chuckled a lot at your tier category descriptions.

Ok so I made a garment entirely out of sirdar cashmere merino silk and found that it's still pretty itchy. It sounds like I may have a slightly higher tolerance to itch than you, but I still find it fairly uncomfortable.

It’s pronounced mo-ahl bo-ahl. What a great experience! Island hopping in El Nido is so much fun. Although, snorkeling and seeing jellyfish swimming around you is scary (even if they don’t have the poisonous tentacles). I especially loved the underground river in Puerto Princesa. So glad you enjoyed your trip! I’ve been a couple times with my family, but I bet it’s so much fun to be around other young people! Siargao had a really cool vibe.

Oh my gosh, you are so beautiful! I crochet and knit, so ofc this was on my FYP. But after seeing you, I just felt I needed to comment to tell you that my first thought after seeing this video was how BEAUTIFUL you are; just in case you wanted or needed to hear it. Especially your smile! It's absolutely contagious! And I mean this girl to girl just spreading positivity. And ofc I'll also like the video 😊

really enjoyed this video!!! I just think you mic was maybe picking up cars driving passed or something, making it sound a lil funky in headphones :P

I'm autistic and am super sensitive to itchy fibres so this video is so helpful for me! I discovered Yarnsmiths Merino DK and Merino Sock (4ply) this year and omg... super soft and skin friendly, lots of colour choice, and reasonably priced too!!

i thought i was the only crazy person that decided to try drops fabel in a garment. i feel the same way. its very prickly, but i can wear it with a shirt under. it's not as itchy for me, but around my neck i can REALLY feel it. and 100000000000000% on brushed alpaca. im so happy i found a fuzzy yarn that doesnt itch like mohair.

SALLY POINTER MENTION!!! i love that woman

I've yet to make the jumper but I have a good feeling about malabrigo silky merino :D Sooo soft

I loved you taking us on a walk in nature with you 😊 That was very relaxing and pleasing to my brain. And the sweater turned out beautiful! I think the duplicate stitch turned out great💜

as someone who is also very sensitive to yarns and cares deeply about using ethical and sustainable yarn from non abusive farms, my favourite yarn is definitely Knitting for Olive, i've only used their fingering weight merino and silk mohair but they are so soft and lovely and i've never had any allergic reactions or ithciness using them! plus i love knowing the fibers i am wearing are from happy healthy animals and not ones who are mutilated or abused.

as a fellow sensitive skin girl i appreciate this list lol i've been trying to find yarn that won't make me itch

GREAT FINDS GIRL

I really like Kremke the merry merino, it's one of the softest yarns I have tried and they have a very pretty color selection! It does grow a bit when blocking, but nothing too crazy. The brand also has good sustainabilty and animal welfare practices. Unfortunately its not the cheapest, but I personally think its worth it for such a nice yarn.

Thank you so much for this video!!! It's so helpful, love your videos, they are so calming to watch and knit/crochet along to 🫶

The white top that was too itchy, i think wearing a long sleeve top or even a button up or a collared shirt under it would look cute and might help with the itch! The top suits you so nicely btw ☺️

My favorite yarn for this year was Illimani’s Santi yarn. I also have very sensitive skin and I used it in a beanie and it is sooooo comfortable. It’s a blend of ultra fine merino, baby alpaca, yak, and mulberry silk. I consider it to be on the pricier side, but for smaller items that are going to be worn next to the skin, I would consider it well worth it.

Drops Daisy ! 100% DK merino wool, extremely soft, cheap, with a beautiful color selection. I used the natural color paired with matching Brushed Alpaca silk for a big chunky scarf and it's the softest, cosiest thing ever. I'm now planning to knit a Terrazzo sweater in caramel and a Daydreamer cardigan with either the crimson red or the light purple color (both paired with kid-silk but BAS would work just fine)

I used DROPS Daisy to knit the Louvre Sweater and the Oslo Hat by PetiteKnit this year and I thought it was reeeeeeally soft, it doesn't bother me one bit, even when the turtleneck is next to skin. The only downside is that it's so soft that I feel like because of it it's a bit too delicate and pills more than I would like to, as I've worn the sweater about 15 times and it has some pilling under the arms and in high friction areas, and overall it looks a bit fuzzy with wear. But for having paid 2,75€/50g I won't complain too much. Also, the color range is amazing. I wouldn't particularly say that I have very sensitive skin, but I definetely notice that some wooly fabrics irritate my skin a little bit. For reference, I have used DROPS Fabel to knit socks with no issues, but perhaps it would be on the edge of feeling comfortable in other areas, if that helps :)

Love your videos 😍😍❤️

AH! i have sensitive skin and am always SO worried about buying yarn in case I literally can’t use it, and whenever you mention a yarn doesn’t bother you in a video I immediately add it to my list! so this video is EXACTLY what i needed ty ly 🫶

I have a rec for you!! 💕Recently I was looking for a skirt pattern and found the Bitchin' Skirt by Dani Ruiz, it’s a self drafted pattern and really easy to knit up actually :) you can make it in any yarn you want, and the construction and instructions are easy to follow and understand 🤩 I made it in a white cotton yarn held with a golden sparkly yarn, it turned into a beautiful glittery but chic skirt :) she also explains what yarn weight to use for different effects and so on 🫶 Currently I’m thinking of making a matching top as well to have a nice set for going out 🤩

I just recently found your channel and you are so inspiring! I'm a beginner knitter starting my very first sweater. I'm from Scotland too 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I’m from the philippines! I hope you enjoyed!!

does anyone else hear that high pitched ringing like a dog whistle? anyways love your videos!!! i started knitting in august after being a crocheter my whole life because of your channel so thanks!!!

I showed this to my girlfriend!!

Loving the longer videos! Love to put in the background while I crochet 😊

I love it! How many strands did you use?

“This is the project where I realized I need to be careful with my yarn choices” (two projects later) “well this is the project where I REALLY learned to be careful with my yarn choices” 😂

Brava! Red, white with stripes and black&white&grey and sunset are excellent and that top opn in front just 💯❤️

All this in your first year?! Damn!

we actually started knitting for very similar reasons! i started knitting sometime in 2020 when my universities online classes made me really restless so i was looking for something to do with my hands and picked up knitting!

Great place to buy yarn oblige is hobbi, it's from Denmark but they use royal mail, and only charge £2.99 post or free if you spend over a certain amount. X

With the knits you don't like donate them to a shelter for homeless, they are always happy for warm clothes. Well done on beautiful clothing. Love the red one ❤

wonderful knits you've done!

Hey! Would you have a list of the yarn shops in Glasgow ( or Glasgow area) you liked can't seem to find any where there's some nice yarn.... Also instead of a tag I just use a tiny piece of embroidery thread (or any small thread) in a constrasting color that I saw on to mark the back Ps (your videos are amazingxxxx)

Am your babe

1. I suggest putting a little X of contrast yarn in the back of your knits instead of a tag so you can tell which side is the back. This has been a game changer for me 😂 2. Your wool and the gang sweater is probably itchy on your elbows because elbows tend to be the driest skin on arms (even if they don’t feel dry) which is sensitizing. Wonder if a dab of lotion would make the itch go away when you wear it with a tee shirt?

aww it was so fun and refreshing to watch a video of a new knitter with a lot of things you didn't end up wearing; i love to knit but i'm also newer to garment knitting and pretty particular in my style so this was SOO relatable <3 everything you made is so cool and creative and your attitude is so inspiring! this made me excited for the new year of knitting :)

this is so so lovely and so awesome to see all that you've made this year!! im getting more into knitting after being a *very* casual knitter for some time, do you have any other knitting youtubers you recommend??

I love seeing your progress. BTW, sometimes, baby yarn just means it's DK weight or lighter.

beautiful!
