let's go through my yarn stash together 🧶

[@blank.stitches]

okay, but the thumbnail is top notch 😏 this is such a fun video to watch! Also that sock yarn will make such a lovely twist loop top, i’m so excited to see you knit it! 🤍

[@crystalblue38883]

easy to fix that bulky sweater neck bind off: undo the bind off you did and do the stretchy bind off - which is knit two stitches together than put that stitch back on needle and repeat - knit two together etc.....Just a thought. Lots of tutorials of how to stitch a bottom up sweater together too.

I love watching other knitters stash videos! Mainly because they're well organized and know what they have, I just have a box with yarn 😅

[@truesummerknits]

@@lucylemonless2913 haha despite how it may seem I am the least organized person ever 😂 my craft room is such a mess but the corner where I film looks good

[@kaitlyntrugman6015]

I'm making the square neck cami out of the cotton merino dusty aqua and it is such a beautiful color

[@truesummerknits]

@@kaitlyntrugman6015 ahh that will be so beautiful in that color. I made mine out if a color that doesn’t suit me, so maybe I’ll make another and we can match :)

On the ruined silk top, I had a friend suggest that soaking in hair codified might be useful.

[@truesummerknits]

@@ginninadances I feel like I’ve heard that! I’d like to try that to at least save the yarn, bc pure silk was definitely not the right choice for the cami no. 9. Thanks :)

[@Bihfob3]

for the rowan i would mayby do accesories like scarf, hat or mittens, . Mayby you could knit a different kind of slipover? You could also use it for a striped sweater or colourwork sweater

[@lifeoutnumbered]

What if you mixed that bright purple with a gray color to mute it down to a more summer tone

[@StephSewn]

This was so fun! Especially loved the colour of that Drops Alpaca silk

[@truesummerknits]

@@StephSewn thank you!! It’s so gorgeous, if I didn’t have prior commitments I’d love to just cast on with it right now

[@lifeoutnumbered]

You could probably make a bralette out of that blue silk

[@leonivandestraat7272]

hahaha I can't... Good Talk!!! 🤣

[@CodyB-mz5yg]

What about Lily Kate France's patterns? Maybe calm night cami?

[@truesummerknits]

@@CodyB-mz5yg I love her designs and her patterns! I will definitely check that one out. Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@coolkid-yd9uq]

you mentioned mobile and birmingham i'm from AL! i recently discovered the yarn shop knitbham and made my first pair of mittens. i'm new to knitting and learned a lot about fibers just from you showing your stuff

[@truesummerknits]

@@coolkid-yd9uq aw that makes me so happy! I wish I was closer to either knit bham or southern twist yarns. Southern twist is about an hour and a half for me and I have never made the journey but I’ve heard really good things about both.

[@vrijrein]

For that purple yarn: what about a scarf and matching hat + matching set for a friend, husband, mother? Edit: I mean the first purple yarn, the muted one (lol, you had another purple after the first one).

[@truesummerknits]

@@vrijrein I definitely will do that at some point to use it up! I’m just so bad at getting myself to use yarns that aren’t pretty colors lol. That’s why knitting stuff for my husband can be so hard, he just likes brown 😂

[@vrijrein]

@@truesummerknitsoh I recognize this so much 😅.

[@mhairicameron9764]

Hat and scarf set for the purple rowan yarn ?

[@truesummerknits]

@@mhairicameron9764 I just never wear those items (never cold enough here lol) and the yarn is very beautiful so I’m hoping I can make some kind of garment out of it. Might make some kind of slipover or sleeveless top eventually 🤔

[@Lucy27102]

Congrats to the winner. Wish I had a stash like that 😢

[@HannahHasHobbies]

Where do you get your Drops yarn??

[@truesummerknits]

@@HannahHasHobbies sorry I’m just now responding! I now get it from wool warehouse, the shipping was somewhat slower but it was cheap! I think it was like around 5 usd

[@nikitinaknits]

You are so lucky you can wear so much lavender tones! I love them so much but they really dont suit me (

[@truesummerknits]

@@nikitinaknits It is a really beautiful color, if yku think it doesn’t suit you maybe you could knit some socks or some kind of accessory that isn’t close to your face!

[@ulrikaglingborn4999]

I love all the yarn you want to sell 😂 but I live too far away and I am too big to use that small quantitys unfortunately.

[@ellyt6599]

It’s very ‘hallloweenie’ color 😈(the purple yarn that you hate), maybe you can make a hat out or it.

[@truesummerknits]

@@ellyt6599 yes I think I will do something like that, the more warm color is one that would suit my mother (she’s some kind of autumn) so it may have to become a gift!
