Great idea for any who intimidated by learning how to cast on first. A beginner can get comfortable with learning a basic knitting stitch and handling the needles and feel more confident, then learn the cast on techniques. 😊

This gives the vibe that this was pushed out for the Christmas kits gifts and likely to be found on the clearance rack by Easter. I can see the ready to go cast on being useful for someone trying to learn on their own when they don't have a knitter on hand to help teach casting on in the first place. Size 13 needles are suggested for gage and I assume the premade loops, sold separately, can at times be too cumbersome for beginners to learn with. This is definitely for a niche market, but with restrictions on useable needle sizes, and how limited the casting on length can be I don't feel like this will be a long term product. I hope it helps those who need it, but I really wish Lion would focus their energies on expanding their recycled fiber yarn lines or some of their other awesome products.

Thanks for sharing this product! I guess seaming with the loopy end is a bit annoying? Lol I would probably trim the loopy strand a bit shorter before weaving it in. 😊 Thanks again.

The loopy end did not just “blend right in”.

Wow hopefully we get some new knitters!😊

I cast on using a crochet hook and it works a treat.

[@TheOriginalKallenda]

I feel that casting on and the knit stitch are the easiest parts of knitting, and if you aren't willing to learn those two things you might as well not bother with the craft at all.

[@lboone20]

Depends on what cast on you use. What is your favorite?

[@TheOriginalKallenda]

Good point. Some are trickier than others. But the knitted cast on is super easy, and I like long tail and provisional too.

[@KYERRN]

Clearance this out now. Actual crafters can cut off or frog the loops and use the yarn.

After watching this video, I now want to try my hand at knitting. But I won’t buy this yarn…I’ll just watch another video on how to cast on. Thanks!

[@elainemacdonald6541]

It must be really magic if it can precict when you are ready to cast on front or sleeves and loop itself up...

[@TheChroniclesOfYarnia]

This isn’t…..weird. You have to take the time to loop the loops on the needles why not just cast on…it seems inefficient and kind of silly. I love innovative thinking and I applaud the effort, I just think the mark was missed.

[@AllenArt64]

I think I'd rather take the time to learn it the right way. Sorry. I see this ending up like the loopy yarn...in a bin at an Ollie's somewhere.

That’s it 7:22 the rest is dead air

[@pearlsandmanna]

I’m sorry but, to be honest, this product makes me cringe! Please just focus on creating high-quality, affordable natural fibre yarns. That’s what the knitting world needs more of! I’m so tired of having to drive for over an hour each way just to buy quality wool yarn.

[@BrandilynEsquivel503]

Gimmicky….either people want to learn to knit or they don’t….focus on making good tutorials to cast on ….teach a man to fish and he will never go hungry….

[@Ash-hi5hy]

Damn girl, harsh much? Maybe this is a good jumping off point for some people.

[@pluutonius]

Hey. Relax. This is a good way for people to get comfortable with knitting to see if it's for them and even start to build a passion. Just because they don't learn something straight away, doesn't mean they never will. They'll come back to it when they're more confident with yarn. Like it or not, this teaches people how to knit.

[@HenriettaHudson-we4wv]

You know what? You must lead a very empty life!!! I've been crocheting for 20 years. I've knitted a little bit because I have problems casting on. And my knitting looks a bit wonky. I'm definitely buying this because this solves the hassle of casting on and gets to the fun of knitting!!! You should try expanding your mind rather than to be a hater!!! GET SOME THERAPY!!!

[@HenriettaHudson-we4wv]

You Tube must've deleted my comment. With that being said, I've been crocheting for 20 years and knitting for about the same time. I've had problems casting on which make my knitting look wonky. I'm buying this because at least it helps me get a start to knitting. Stop being a hater and get some therapy. Expand your mind for a change!!!

[@lboone20]

You have evidently never tried to teach someone to knit. Casting on is only one row, by the time someone is ready to cast off and start again they have forgotten how.
