i DIY’d the chunky sweater of your dreams *surprisingly easy*

[@laurenrose7230]

when she said she was going to use roving my heart broke lol. for anyone who wants to recreate this, use a super bulky yarn and if that isn't thick enough for your tastes, double up the strands. roving will not take long to fall apart even under normal use, it (obviously) sheds a TON, and washing it will practically ruin it.

[@jessemciver9592]

i was about to comment just this! it's way too much money for something that will just fall apart 😢

[@breanasanaghan1473]

i cringed so hard when she said roving. such an expensive material that you won't get much wear out of :((

[@Iris-fp4uk]

yes and it will get SO dirty SO fast and you can't really wash it.. it's so fragile and SUPER EXPENSIVE!!

[@Superficial-Intellectual]

Can you please please please suggest an alternative yarn? Thank youuu!

[@laurenrose7230]

@@Superficial-Intellectual Of course! Personally, I would probably use Bernat Blanket Big yarn because it is still soft and large but has much more structure. The downsides would be that it won't look exactly the same due to its chenille style, it can still get expensive depending on how much you are using, and craft stores are often out of stock because it is a high demand yarn. Another option would be using two strands of Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick & Quick yarn which would be soft, stable, and cheaper but maybe not as chunky and oversized. Hope this helps

[@francesbritton]

Chenille, blanket, velvet, and double stranded super chunky yarns are a much more durable alternative, and usually more cuddly! These yarns in the US are called Jumbo, and usually require 20-25mm needles to use if you want the same thickness as the one in the vid.

[@heatherburke9583]

as soon as you brought up roving, i immediately thought of the anti-roving video clip you included lol

[@dandibambi]

**PLEASE READ** Hey there! Since this video is getting a lot more attention than anticipated, I’ve gotten a lot of constructive feedback that I’d like to address and compile below: 1) Credit the original/support small businesses. Yes! This is incredibly important. If you have the means, please support Hope Macaulay by purchasing her pieces. Her sweaters are truly iconic and are made with incredibly high quality material and craftsmanship and are probably worth every penny! I did not do my due diligence when filming/making the video to provide proper credit so please check out her shop/instagram: hopemacaulay.com instagram.com/hope.macaulay/ 2) Problems with roving This is a subject I had no idea was so controversial, which clearly shows I did not do enough research before making this video. Thank you to those who brought awareness to these topics! As mentioned at the end of this video, roving is unspun material that lacks structure and has the tendency to pill/shed/fall apart if used to create a chunky sweater or a blanket. It’s far too expensive of a material for people to end up with a hand knit piece that will only last a season. This is something I should’ve included at the beginning of the video as a disclaimer rather than tossed on at the end. Some folks in the comments provided some better alternatives which I’ve linked here: Chunky Chenille Yarn: becozi.net/collections/chunky-chenille-yarn www.michaels.com/bernat-blanket-big-yarn/M10519837.html?dwvar_M10519837_color=Gray Chunky Velvet Yarn: becozi.net/products/plush-and-lush-velvet-tube-yarn www.joann.com/bernat-velvet-plus-yarn/zprd_17349325a.html If these aren’t chunky enough for you, or if they’re not as accessible, you can also double up on the strands with a thinner thread to achieve a similar thickness and added coziness! (commenter Lauren Rose) 3) Proper care If you choose to use roving (wool or synthetic) despite these disclaimers, you must hand wash/hang dry your cardi/sweater. Do not throw it in the washer/dryer if you do not want to end up with a pile of indiscernible fluff. 4) I am hand knitting in this video - not crocheting I am a dum dum and did not know the difference. Knit stitches are “V” shaped and often used with two needles, while crochet stitches are more similar to knots and often used with a hook! 5) Support my friend Sarah Pan, who also made a DIY video for this sweater: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6eno6yFdp6Jm7c&ab_channel=sarahpan Thank you for watching/supporting/giving feedback! Most of the comments are incredibly nice and I appreciate the constructive criticism. Thank you for helping me make this channel better :)

SORRY for nitpicking😅 But NEVER hang dry it, lay it flat on a towel after carefully squeezing water out of it. Same goes for anything knitted in wool... It deforms horribly if you hang it...

[@mewmew4264]

I appreciate you trying to remake hope's work. Please don't forget to credit her. I know her chunky sweaters are iconic. And the price is crazy, but considering the quality of the yarn she's using and the time she and her team is making, it's really worth the price! We're just used to buying cheaper products from big companies. But she's running a small business.

[@dandibambi]

This is important! And you’re right! Simply listing her shop in the description isn’t enough - I should’ve physically credited her in the video! As a channel that usually only gets 100-200 views per video, I certainly didn’t expect this one to blow up. If I could go back in time, I definitely would’ve promoted her shop more and tell people to go support the small business. Her work IS amazing and truly one of a kind!! As mentioned in the video, my sweater will probably fall apart by the end of the season whereas the true Hope sweater will last a lifetime. This tutorial was made with the intention to give people a cheaper (and fun!) alternative :))

[@LM-lr9kx]

@@missesmukta3415 well in general if you can take the piece and pull on it and pull it apart its roving. What this is used for is to make yarn. It is what you see spin in those wheels and stuff to make the balls of yarn. Yarn its self will be more strong. The fiber itself will actually seem woven to the eye. And if you pull on it it should hold tight like rope. (Not that you couldnt rip some yarns but still). Roven also can be spread or flatten out like the stuff you see people felt those 3d sculptures with. Also if you look up certain brands then you can find very pretty types of yarn you like to work with and start sticking with those. I find everyone has a favorite and it's fun to try them out.

An alternative to just huge merino wool roving is super bulky thick and thin. You can’t get it at any of our craft stores currently but it’s all over Etsy. It’s a tad pricey because it’s hand spun and hand dyed but omg is it gorgeous. I wish I could link photos here. I’m a newborn photographer and I use roving and thick and thin to make little layer blankets to go under babies. Honestly mine have held up very well. I don’t every put them in water though I just steam them to sanitize. The colorful one you used should actually hold up pretty well I have a mini blankie done in that and it’s lasted a few years already. The regular roving from Michaels is better (more stable) than the roving from Hobby Lobby. Though I’ve managed to maintain both for a long time. Except one pink one that a baby peed on and I tried to spot wash it and it changed colors. The Gingko Leaf on Etsy does variegated thick and thin and it’s so nice. I have her pastel and bold rainbow and they are top notch quality and BEAUTIFUL. 1AZ Colorworks is where I get most of my solids and they have excellent quality too. They also do some thick and thin with random wool curls still attached and that has to be my favorite. They also have great sales.

We pay top dollar for Merino wool. But I'll take a bogo from Michael's any day!! Damn, I don't give two shits about DIYing my own sweater, but you made me watch this through! There's something to be said about that. I'm so glad I found you Mira because this is the kind of random shit that if someone can make me enjoy...👏👏👏 Ok, now for the video...First off, this is the shit show I needed so I'm happy to figure it out with you. Did you feel weird about recording in Michael's? I felt weird recording in popeyes 😂 So many funny moments, that I could not help be rewind "Honestly I half assed this part" Like you weren't even trying to make it on the runway. In all honesty, the sweater came out really nice. Definitely a design worth some money. Maybe this whole KZbin thing may work out for you young padawan. Can you learn how to make food???? It doesn't have to be a cooking channel, just think your storytelling would be entertaining....Ok binging the other ones I missed (had a lot of stuff on my plate). BUT I'M BACK! Hi :)

also letting this run again because I had to come back and tell you... 70 DEGREES!? I would love that now, it's dropping to high 30s here in ny. I'm about to knit me the equivalent of a Canada Goose!

LOL JASHIM!! I always love your comments they're the BEST. Honestly, me trying to cook may be very on-brand because it'll definitely be a grand ole SH*TSHOW ~~~
