Hi, Gary and you too, Juan! Nice hat, Gary. Looks like a Bag O Day Special! I’m trying to decide on colors for a C2C for an expected great-grand-baby. Gender unknown at this point.

Hi Gary! Thank you for the Temu yarn review. I have been seeing it alot and wondered how it would work up! Pixel is so adorable! She's growing so quickly it seems!!

[@urbanyarn]

OMG - Pixel is so fast growing and I think it's slowing down a bit these last weeks. At Doggy class she's with 3 other male dogs that have doubled her size in the 4 weeks we've been together. I like her size right now. I don't know if she'll be able to fit on our lap if she grows anymore.

[@annmcginnis6531]

Such a cool sampler piece❤Hope U are well very soon. I think with those beautiful Autumn colors you could even get multiple use out of it. I'm thinking what a incredible table runner for a festive touch.

[@urbanyarn]

Oh yeah - i can see that could be used as a table dressing. It would be a very cozy feel for sure.

[@KrissD.]

Gary ur scarf looks beautiful? Great job! 😍 I’ve been buying a bunch of different mohair yarns to mix with other yarns to make some cardigans with sometime . One I bought is from berroco and it resembles that temu chunky dots one you have. Has the same type of color splashes throughout the cream color base coat. I can’t wait to use it sometime. I have like said bought and currently buying lots of different ones to use in a few crochet cardigans but one I’m going to make it more of a scrappy mohair yarn look 😜 Pixel is looking beautiful. Who was Pixels buddy there with her? 🤭 Have a great week. And hopefully by now you are feeling better. 🥰😘🥰

Hi Gary😃💜

[@barbaramcewen]

The scarf looks great! I love seeing how different colors of mohair can totally change the look of a yarn. I quite enjoy using fuzzy yarns myself and did not really understand people's aversion to them but I also use Susan Bates metal hooks so maybe that is it?! I tend to be a very speedy crocheter so I feel like wood and plastic hooks slow me down! 😂

[@urbanyarn]

You're so right about adding a bit of the fuzzy yarn can change the look of a yarn completely.

[@Swtnovember29]

Very nice video!!!

[@healgrowlovecommunity8397]

I love your mega scarf - such lovely colour combos! I think it's a great idea to use mohairs from Temu paired with others for a project. I haven't bought anything from Temu yet but once I've finished my Christmas gift wips, I will give them a go. I also love the rice stitch (which I haven't tried yet) and the woven effect that it gives. I'm sorry you're poorly - hope you feel better soon. Pixel is a darling! Those innocent puppy dog eyes!!! Love from Mary in the Outer Hebrides 🇬🇧 xxx

[@elainep9239]

Hi Gary. thanks so much for sharing your beautiful rice stitch scarf ( i keep wanting to call it the rice cake scarf!) i love that inspiration of mixing 2 yarns/brands/together. it helps me figure out what yo do with my own bits and bobs of yarn stash. still waiting on my herrchners order for the willow yarn to start on my natures walk... and mix with my stash... your inspiration also. 🤣

[@urbanyarn]

Hello friend! My pleasure to help with ideas on what to use those yarns you have. I hope your order arrives soon from Herrschners to let you continue on the Natures Walk. My 2.0 version is slowly making a few smaller progress steps. I have done 1 1/2 of the squares I'm going to put into the blanket. There are 14 to each that I'm grouping.

[@KevinMontreal]

Hey Gary, as usual your colours are spot on and the scarf looks great. I have only worked with fuzzy yarns once and disliked it for the frogging issue… I will give the Drops yarn a try though as I love Drops yarns. Thank you!

[@urbanyarn]

Hey friend! I need to look into more Drops items as the Brushed Alpaca Silk was such a soft dreamy yarn. I do like how Drops has all those free patterns too (showcasing what each collection can be made into).

[@nette5597]

Hi Gary, I love your visual introduction - scenes from your local area I assume. I also like that the yarn on the shelves in the background look like they get used (many others have a backdrop that reminds me of yarn displayed in a store).

Love SOME fuzzy yarns, can't do a full-on mohair.... I won't say allergic, but it's a definite sensitivity...but suri, a whole different story!! 🤣😂🤣 I love how you made panels of color with your mohair scarf. I didn't finish my geogradient, I set it aside, I honestly like it, but it wasn't keeping my interest... So I made a Sockhead Cowl with "psycho" from my trilogy yarn Halloween Advent... similar color to the yellow,white, black mohair...but fluorescent!!! Its amazing under a blacklight!!! (I'll have pics on ravelry). Feel better soon!!!

[@urbanyarn]

Hi Patti - I think putting a project to the side because it's not holding interest is very much a sensible thing to do. You've started a new pattern that can feed that part of your creativity and play with that fabulous new yarn from Trilogy Yarns.... it sounds delightfully bold!

Gary, thank u for sharing your work, its just stunning. Your choice of color combinations are just so beautiful. I'm new to crocheting but i liked how you added "stripes" to your scarf. I actually have comp a scarf using the rice stitch which i love but wasn't sure how you added the stripes. At the beginning you mentioned sewing it in and then towards the end you mentioned using yarn so was it a special crochet stitch you used or a reg sewing stitch? again, thanks for all your hard work on these videos!

Hello Roseitta! I'm so happy you've come over to try out a video here. I absolutely adore Crystal!

[@gardengalsu]

Really liked your 'sampler scarf' ~ ah, Temu ... I recently bought some 'everyday yarn' & I do believe their yarn descriptions are SUGGESTIONS rather than factual conveyances From my yarn label: [I DID have labels] my "Bright Silk Wool" was made of *100% Polyester(!)* + "8.5% The Tide Will Return(???)"! Go figure ---- at least mine felt nice :)) So this may explain why YOUR yarns weren't as soft as you expected. 🤷‍♂

[@urbanyarn]

Oh no - I hear what you are saying about the descriptions on TEMU's website. They are hard to gather the facts about an item. They do an amazing return in a certain timeframe - which I used for shirts I thought were cotton and they turned out to be micro fibre. There weren't any questions and I got a credit for the cost added to my account.

[@brendamcchristy6044]

Hi Gary

[@urbanyarn]

Hello there!

[@mypinkbathtub]

Hi Gary! Thanks for the mohair chat. I have recently started 'collecting' it for some future projects. I also bought some Hobbii Diablo, have you ever tried that? Diane from Manitoba 🇨🇦

[@urbanyarn]

Hello Diane - I've seen Hobbii Diablo many times in my visits to the website, but it never made it into my cart. You'll have to tell me how it works up and if you feel the price tag on it is comparable to others on the market.

[@valackerman7519]

Have you reviewed Temu's Squirrel yarns? I think there are a couple different blends. The polyester,which is usually a soft yarn,was reviewed as rough but I wonder....

[@urbanyarn]

No I haven't tried the Squirrel yarn from Temu yet. Perhaps when I make another yarn order with them I may throw in a skein. Thanks for the tip.

[@nancybailey1635]

Gary, I see why Crystal sometimes runs her color choices by you. You have a great eye for color.
