Handspun Heaven: Knitting a Sweater with my Blue Texel Yarn

Hello friends! After the crazy weeks that were Tour de Fleece 2024 I now end up with a huge pile of yarn. And this is the first finished knitted object from the yarn we spun during TDF. I present to you: a nineties cropped cabled sweater. Flair trend breimode knew what it was doing with this knitting pattern, and I knew that the Blue Texel Yarn that I spun would be perfect for a cable knit sweater. So tag along as I knit my handspun heaven.

"I had every intention to talk to you, but nature had more to say" is the most beautiful, healing, wonderful sentence. Thank you for the gift of that rain!! I live in a very dry climate and we just don't get that kind of atmosphere here in the summer.

[@cassafrass098]

Okay now I finished the video and I just gotta say that this sweater is EVERYTHING. It looks amazing on you, you radiate joy in it. I am wrapping up the collar and about to start on the sleeves of a sweater that I am so excited to wear but cannot wear until the weather changes. (I'm not in a hurry, though. I love summer! And this sweater will sit patiently, like a fine bottle of wine, until the right time.)

[@MijnWolden]

And maybe there are some chill mornings and evenings to wear it too!

The “atmospheric knitting” part was so cool! There really is something special about knitting with handspun. 🥰

There most certainly is 😁

[@tracybird4547]

I absolutely totally agree on having my sleeves be bracelet length or a tiny bit longer but not touching my wrists! Otherwise they get in the way of all the exciting handwork we have to do!!! Beautiful work and I loved your comment on connecting to nature and our ancestors. ❤❤❤❤

[@bagladysendtheferalspinner3761]

Many spinners find that commercially spun yarn feels 'dead' in their hands and knitting or crocheting with hand-spun is 'living' yarn. It is hard to explain but hand-spun has a distinct feel and a different connection to fibre crafts/arts.

[@MijnWolden]

Oh yes I get that. Not with every commercial yarn, but I have some very specific ones in mind that fit that description,😅

I have 48 granny squares crocheted towards a granny-square cardigan. This includes some of my tour-de-fleece spin and I am LOVING being able to crochet with z twist yarn. I'm particularly proud of this because all the yarn I'm using is hand-spun on drop spindle (I started spinning in April this year, largely due to your bad chaotic influence - YAY! Chaos goblins unite!)

[@MijnWolden]

Spindle spun garments are on another level!

Your sweater came out beautiful. I like the longer waist and shorter sleeves.

[@MijnWolden]

[@victoriasandrews9996]

What a beautiful sweater, quite perfect with your handspun. Love that you jumped right in and fixed the issue instead of just giving it away or not wearing it because it doesn’t make you happy. We all need to learn that lesson. Still love your dopamine sweater!

[@AbigailCollins-uo4wt]

I don't spin, yet, but I have thrown myself down the rabbit hole of plant dyeing and I really get that whole 'connection' idea. I am a process knitter and normally once it's done it's done, move on, but with my hand plant dyed makes I just keep gazing at them with an almost motherly love . A human knitting with wool provided by sheep who eat plants which release colour 😊

[@MijnWolden]

Emphasis on yet 😉

[@Janet-ov7zx]

You are so right - there is nothing like knitting with handspun yarn. Your sweater is a beautiful testament to how wonderful knitting with handspun truly is. And how wonderful that you have more knitting with the Blue Texel ahead of you! harpingJanet (PS. I totally get the sleeves past the wrist thing. Makes me all jumpy inside just thinking about it. Glad the sleeve surgery was so successful!)

Thank you for inspiring me to dive in!

I do the exact same with sleeves. I'm always convinced they're a lot less fabric than the front or back pieces. Even though they are usually at least the same. I just started my second sleeve of the Williamsburg Cardigan Lite by Karas Knit Eng. I usually prefer anywhere from 5mm-8mm needles. My hands are too shaky for anything smaller. I love the look of fine knitting, so I just live vicariously through you.

[@MijnWolden]

Big needles make my hands too shaky. I get so clumsy with them

The sweater is stunning, the pattern and wool are just so beautiful together. I’m practicing my spinning as new to it and dream of producing a sweater like yours. Thank you for sharing your spinning and knitting creations. You are so inspiring.

[@MijnWolden]

Happy spinning!

[@femkeball]

I came across your channel a few weeks ago and I probably have watched 40 hours of your videos, they are so relaxing and entertaining! Currently knitting a zipper sweater, and a pair of red socks with the softest alpaca yarn! I also started spinning with a drop spindle and got something that looks a lot like actual yarn haha. I want to buy a spinning wheel but I should wait until I move so I actualy have space...

[@MijnWolden]

Oooh alpaca socks sounds like a dream

[@maverickspirit208]

I love it too! I love it so much I'd like to make it for myself. Too bad that the pattern isn't available anymore, but I can use a stitch pattern book and create something similar. Your videos never fail to bring me happiness.

[@MijnWolden]

Yeah it isn't too difficult with the shaping. The Textured bit is alternating 3 purls and 2 knits to make a 2 row block shape, and then they had something called a 'rope stitch'

[@catpawrosales4265]

I read this as haven-spun, lol. That blue texel as always look divine. My fav knitting sizes are 3.5-4mm, and crochet 3mm (2.5-3.75mm) If our postal "service" wasn't such a joke I'd be begging you to knit me a 10x10cm swatch and send it to me so I could nose it an snuggle it. It looks sooooo good 🤍 and cozy 🤩

[@MijnWolden]

And Belgian postal services are one big clown face too. With the TdF secret Santa the only hickups were with the gifts coming from and going to Belgium 😅

[@julieduke7279]

(Gasp) wow, just wow!! The blue texel looks great on you. I’m a big fan of wearing natural colours too. Nice job on the knitting and blocking. I hope you receive many compliments when wearing it.

[@MijnWolden]

My mom has complimented me many times on this sweater!

[@jirup]

I watched this while plying Blue Faced Leicester, the mix of greys, silver and blonde made it a lovely yarn to ply. Most of my TdeF yarn has been woven into cloth and prepared for sewing, it's just waiting until I feel like sewing. Je trui ziet er heel schattig uit.

And oh god also the sleeves being only the halfway point is also relatable

[@MijnWolden]

You can do it!

[@Manitu4me]

Hi Jente, your cabled sweater is gorgeous!! I was already looking forward to see what you're going to knit, since i joined your channel at TdF with the Blue Texel fleece. I share your passion for the Blue Texel wool, i had just bought 2 fleeces BT at that time. Funny, i had the same thougts, that this rustic wool needs a cable pattern. I'm going for the Drops Renaissance cardigan. I can't process it so rapidly ....... it's gonna be a long term project. A good way to learn to love the process more then the result (what i usually do). Thanks for sharing your adventures on crafting with wool, i enjoy watching them

[@MijnWolden]

Drops renaissance would be great on Blue Texel indeed!

[@eddavanleemputten9232]

That sweater is absolutely gorgeous! And I’m already looking forward to your next Blue Texel knits! My own TDF projects have been set on pause. One reason is that it’s absolute madness at work and I’m completely drained afterwards. That’s not a good time to knit with the lace weight yarn I’ve painstakingly spun up, especially since the haapsalu pattern I want to knit is pretty involved. So I decided to finish a few knits I’d left by the side over the past year. They’re close to mindless knits but extremely pleasing to the touch and,being lace too, warm weather doesn’t matter either. Next week I’ll be on vacation for two weeks though. Hopefully the knitting I’ve currently got on my needles will be off and I’ll feel rested enough to dive into my TDF knitting. 😍 The socks… well, whilst I’m oh so proud of having spun sock yarn, I’m still in need of a satisfying sock pattern. It feels…meh. To be continued. LOL Your cable knit sweater makes me want to knit cables. I love cables almost as much as lace. On the other hand, I really, REALLY want a crochet skull shawl myself. Out of handspun yarn. Oh, the choices… 😂

[@MijnWolden]

So much choices indeed! I'm perpetually swinging between structural knits like cables or colourwork

[@alexvanderpol1]

You finished it already!! Wow 😲

[@saraht855]

I had a period of time where I knitted a lot with this one burgandy yarn and made a hood, a covid mask, a sleeveless jumper, a shrug, a skirt, over-knee socks and slippers and honestly wearing them all together was an absolute vibe and I would love this for you. I finished one of my tour de fleece spinning projects a couple of weeks ago and it looks so good! It's a black and red lace shawl and it used 100% of the yarn I spun for it (lost yarn chicken on the row before cast off but had some more black in stash). I've been working on reducing my WIP pile (full chaos levels on the living room floor) but have plans for the chiengora I span during week 2 or 3 of tour de fleece!

[@MijnWolden]

Full Blue Texel to match your vibe is now the goal 😎

[@saraht855]

@@MijnWolden alas I have no blue texel but I do have some Shetland cross Hebredian (fleece from this year and last) which is a similarly beautiful grey which I love to spin. I was also a little obsessed with light grey so have a full outfit quantity of items made from the same cheap acrylic in grey. (The best part is the trousers 😂)

[@resourcedragon]

That blue texel jumper is lovely, you have every right to be proud of it. And the great thing with the blue texel is that it will go with just about anything and would look good on just about anyone. I'm with the people who've suggested that you use your next three skeins to knit a cardigan. I'd be looking at a pattern that is textured but not necessarily cabled, just for variety. Favourite needle sizes: British 14 to about 10, which is about 2 mm to 3.25 mm Current project: trying to smash together a hat using some of my handspun merino and alpaca (a commercially combed preparation). It's a gently variegated moss green and very, very soft. My default spin is lace weight, so I'm not smashing it together quite as quickly as I would hope. I'm also working it on sock needles and I'm having to pay more attention to making sure stitches don't slide off the needles than I would like because I've really got more stitches on the needles than they're designed for. That's definitely slowing me down a bit. One day I'm going to have to learn how to spin thicker yarn!

[@MijnWolden]

The Blue Texel does fit with everything, it's great 😁

[@resourcedragon]

Saturday 31 Aug (just): despite the challenges I have finished the hat (other than the blocking). It looks good.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your sweater! ❤ You did an awesome job! Congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻… 😊 I am currently working on the "Jamila" top, by Heidemarie Kaiser. I am using my TDF challenge yarn (to spin up the ugliest colourway I could find and some make it work in a garment … 😂), and I am completely blown away by how well it is actually turning out. It’s an average of 31 C all year ‘round here in the tropics and we’re so used to the heat, if it drops below 25 (as it sometimes does in winter) we’re frozen, so hopefully I will get a chance to wear it at some point lol! Loved hearing the rain and storms. We have just had 6 months of our "dry" season, and are very much looking forward to the stormy monsoon season which starts soon. That’s when our storm chasing shenanigans begin … YAY! 😁⛈️⛈️⛈️

I think my personal favorite sizes in knitting needles range from about 3mm to 4.5mm (maybe 5mm but that feels like it's pushing it a bit already). I like how drapey the fabrics I can make that way are, plus whenever i enter a space with yarn I am immediately drawn to the thinner yarns (and I somehow always manage to find those spun with 3 ply XD)

[@MijnWolden]

Yeah me too, don't care a lot about the bulky yarns

[@RicaKramer]

This looks so cozy. I can totally see a long hooded cardigan in this blue texel. But I failed at tour de fleece i spun maybe enough for a hair scrunchie. I am just slow with crafts and I tend to knit much more than i spin. Working on my long summer cardigan because monsoon should be over soon. Have a great day

Handspun hair scrunchies are quite the luxury though

[@brandyolin5979]

Wow. That was so fast! I've been washing and prepping fleeces while the weather is good, I haven't even started knitting, but I got a drum carder and it's life changing. I do have one "blue" spotted fleece, but it's much more grey beige than silver blue like yours. Still nice. Considering over dying it olive green for the main body of a color work sweater.

I am currently mindlessly crocheting a blanket with thrifted yarns. Colours are: off while, pink, and 3 shades of blue. Reason?

I wish I could be as fast and successful as you ^^"

[@resourcedragon]

I'm sorry to hear you are unwell. I hope that will change soon and that you'll get your knitting mojo back, even with the unfortunate prospect of having to rip out a skein's worth of work. Are you sure the decreases are rubbish or is that not-feeling-well talking? I've not been too crash hot myself recently, which has slowed my crafting a bit but I had my second last chemo session today (they're weekly) so I'm getting a bit closer to the light at the end of the tunnel.

@@resourcedragon oooooof .... chemo ... that's rough .....I don't even wanna know how it feels like =( As for the decreases, yes they are. I used a free pattern, which already had awful decreases, I wanted to improve them myself ... didn't work. Then I actually did some research on youtube, and watched some very good videos, and now I know I want the good looking ones ^^ It's 2x2 rib all over.
