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.

This is one of my favourite “behind the scenes” videos of yarn manufacturing. ♥️ TFS!

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

Mine too! I think it's fascinating.

[@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.

[@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.

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

[@meetshadowtheshepkita]

Great praise to all you knitters, weavers and those who crochet I’d take a break from Cricut if I’d learned to macramé. Thank you to soft and fluffy sheep, for sharing your warm coats May acrylic mixes save you from some knicks-es and being caught bare in the cold.

[@meetshadowtheshepkita]

I have worked as a spinner from the age of 16 in 1968 to 2004 .in Yorkshire u.k. working average 60 hours a week.

[@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.

[@cornishbabe9]

many thanks for this program can we have some more like this please.

[@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?

[@lone-welf]

where did you learn of your bloodline that far back?? genuine question, I’m obsessed with medieval times.

[@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.

[@TCMedicare101]

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

Worked in a carpet yarn mill (Barwick) in Barnwell South Carolina 1974-1977. Supervisor in the Spinning/Windingrooms. We had "Saco-Lowell" Spinning frames, with manual doffing. Ran (if I remember correctly) 21-175 count. Spinning acrylic yarn fine, but absolutly hated to run Nomex.

[@quekirdora]

wow, thanks Mikey you are the best

[@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?

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.

[@kennethsmith5042]

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.

I don't understand your comment.

[@TheCrochetCrowd]

[@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

what kind of animals are in this yarn can someone please tell me

[@floridapielady]

Acrylic is man made and begins as a liquid. Only the wool mentioned in the video comes from sheep. (Avoid any yarns containing animal ingredients) Sheep are horribly mistreated in the wool industry. Google wool cruelty for more information.
