How is Yarn is Made?

[@lone-welf]

I started crocheting about 2 months ago and wow. Seeing this makes me incredibly grateful to have access to yarn. Imagine crocheters in Victorian times for example. Seeing how something is made or where it comes from will make you appreciate it immensely. Thank you for sharing!!

[@chronicstitcher7933]

Gosh I love yarn. Even watching how its made. Everything about it. yarn makes me happy.

[@Pluviophile218]

I am totally with you. Yarn is an addiction.

@@drawingbymona9899 I share that concern, which is why I don't use animal fibers. Quick fix! :D

[@Rita-cd9bj]

Mikey, you have got to go back further in the yarn making process... Acrylic yarn is a mand made fiber that actually starts off Liquid. Please show this process

[@Nari_Trovi]

after watching this I'm not angry at my first encountered knot-in-a-yarn sitiuation here ;-;. I thought that maybe yarn was made in like one continuos strand and that was spun to the shape we know and when one long strand ends before the ball length is reached it's tied. Or that it was the result of bad management or something ;-;. But now I'll be happy to see knots in my yarn. Because that means I got a special skien of yarn. One that could have been somewhere living with plastic and trash, But now is a beautiful creation.

[@samannthaswtnss9397]

“The comb is more finer” That some good unglish.

[@theagespot9717]

'Hey, stop complaining about knots. We're trying to save landfills (money) here!' I get that it costs money to cut out uneven portions of yarn, but I bet the original decision to tie knots in my yarn had absolutely nothing to do with environmentalism (not that i particularly care about landfills). Hate to be so negative, because I see the logic and I enjoy this channel, but I really detest my desire for a knot-free product being brushed off and glazed over with concern for where we throw out the waste. The knots aren't just annoying; they can actually ruin a piece of work if it's a heavily detailed item. I can also accept it on the cheaper yarns, but if I'm paying good money for a ball of thread, I expect seamless quality. I recall back when I was a young adult, the emphasis on the consumer being happy was massive in every job I'd trained for. From selling socks, to dyeing hair; my bosses were always very adamant that the customer's happiness was the primary concern. Nowadays it's wonderful if you find a company that cares at all. I find that sometimes even my most carefully-worded, friendly and professional emails are often ignored if they contain a complaint or a question that a business doesn't want to answer. It all boils down to profit. If you can sell it to someone, it doesn't matter who. More people will visit the store, more will come to the website. The sale will be made whether the first customer is happy or not. I'm really not as cranky as I probably seem to be. I'm a pretty chipper and forgiving girl. But let's just call it what it is: a way to keep yarn skeins cheaper.

[@sumerfoster8485]

Can't watch entire video. Narrator...sir, you need to learn how to follow punctuation, and breathe at appropriate intervals. Also, the writer for this video seriously needs to go back to English class. Poor grammar. It was so hard to follow. Terrible.

[@introvert211]

Whenever I find a knot in my skein of yarn, I either go with it, or I cut it out and reattach the yarn to my project. It depends on the project I’m working on.

[@P.M.P.181]

I want those big spools of yarn in all colors. Am i weird?

[@edwardhuang2966]

No, I want the thick unfinished yarn.

[@annlyon6524]

Awesome! My family history goes back to New England and my ancestors were weavers. Came to America about 1635. They owned and worked in woolen mills spinning wool. Automation put them out of jobs by the early 2oth Century. I love to knit and crochet too. This was a very interesting video. I would like to know where and how the acrylic yarn process starts. It is actually a liquid made from crude oil, I think. How about a video on that process?

Interesting video but wish these video makers would realize how their use of obnoxious and overly loud background music ruins their videos. The music on this one was so loud I a difficult time understanding what the narrator was saying.

[@LosTinVA4Now]

I absolutely LOVE these videos. I find it fascinating to watch how things are made and you do a fantastic job narrating, Mikey!! I can't wait for your next one.

[@TCMedicare101]

This spoke to my engineering brain (mechanical engineer). I've been curious about how this was done on an industrial level.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

I studied as an engineering technician. It fascinates me as well.

[@SigalAlon]

Wow, Mikey, this brings back so many memories from my childhood. My grandparents were in textiles production, from the beginning stages of creating the fiber threads and spinning, all the way to weaving fabrics, and making garments. In their case it was actually women's undergarments. I would spend hours on end in the little factory, running between the machines, fascinated by the entire process. But it was noisy as hell in there.😂😂 Years later, when I happened to be traveling in Ireland, I got to a small yarn mills and as I entered it, I burst out crying because the smell was exactly the same as in my grandparents factory, and it just flooded me with so many emotions.

[@amandascreativeretreat4574]

For future, please turn the background music either down or off, it makes hearing you hard over it.

[@BlimeyT.]

I have had it in a knot and u can tell

[@Lady_of_Ishpeming]

I think it would be fun to tour the factory😀

[@tansayno]

And this is why yarns are not that cheap....

[@ladyd54]

Love seeing the making of yarn. Do you by any chance have something on how it is handled from the field to the point in which it started here?

[@llamameligiax8619]

Useful video!!!!!!

[@annvassallo2604]

It would be great if you lost the music. It's hard to hear you and it's distracting.

[@dragonassbabe]

"not likely to see ties" lolololol i find them ALL the time even the single fibers ones because by the time we get them it's frayed so badly i got to cut it out so it don't look so shoddy in my garment.

[@chriscode6431]

Yeah, but how do we get those mill ends?

[@amydavis4945]

Several places sell "mystery boxes" of yarn ... Like Kraemer yarns, Mary Maxim, I think even online Michael's does now and then. Most of the time it's POUNDS of "mill ends" that you can get very cheaply. I bought a 25 lb "mystery box" from Kraemer yarns for about $60... it was over 100 skeins of **perfectly good yarn** that was almost all mill ends. Some were labelled, the mill ends weren't... but they were all useable. When I figured out how much they were worth (by yarn type and weight and comparing on their website), it was well over $300 worth of yarn. Most of the time the "mystery boxes" of yarn will include mill ends and discontinued or overstock yarns.

[@gbengaekundayo9676]

I am happy to watch this video, but problems are that l need natural fibres in yarn or roving to be used for my project

[@amydavis4945]

How is that a problem? There are thousands of yarn types on the market. Go find what you need and buy it?

[@FrothingFanboy]

Mikey, this is a good video, but you are talking a little too fast.

I would love to see how Bernat blanket yarn is made.

[@steviebboy69]

I worked in a textile factory here in Australia years ago, the processes were similar. that Gilling machine,. well we had 1st 2nd and 3d stage drawing,and in my section fed the spinners directly. we used either TEX or I think it was Worsted yarn count. That place made Patons yarn as well. Knots in the balling stage they always had issues with.

I dye yarn for a living. After the yarn goes through the dye machine it'll go to the other side of the room where the winders work. The winder machine they use looks just like what you guys call rub roving,but nothing like what's labeled winding in this video.

[@kennethsmith5042]

Most jobs in manufacturing yarn are loud and require earplugs. That alone slows down the learning process, Add to that the fact that a lot of people are impatient and rude in these places and you can see why most people won't do these jobs. There is next to nothing in the way of learning resources online and I think that is because these plants are revolving doors, most people don't stick around long enough to fully grasp their job, let alone make a guide for it
