SAY GOODBYE TO THE CURL! - Testing Techniques to Fix Tunisian Crochet Curling

[@erisisthename]

Sis! Turning the project upside down is a total lightbulb moment! I never thought to do that. Thank you!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

It made a world of difference for me. Hope it helps you too!

[@angelabury1349]

You have unterrified me of blocking. I tried it (and failed) once. I am now going to steal my mom's garment steamer!! She doesn't use it anymore (a retired alteration specialist) anyway. All the blessing to you! You never fail to inspire me.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

You got this, babe! Blocking is so simple and truly crucial to getting the most out of the things we make. I'm sure your mom is grateful that her steamer is being put to good use 🙂

[@lovealwaysmom]

I had no idea to have the project face down while blocking. The aha moment.😊 I use the size up, borders, the flck and the blocking methods on all my projects. That shawl is gorgeous on you. Your outfit helps highlight your beautiful complection. Keep up with the wonderful work!! BTW I learn tunisian crochet from you. Due to some health issues regular crochet was aggravating my wrists. Doing tunisian crochet is easier on my wrists.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

I'm so grateful that you enjoy my channel, and happy to hear that Tunisian crochet is a gentler way to get your stitches in. Happy stitching, my dear!

[@zenith1047]

I'm about to start a big Tunisian crochet project and was just planning on extensive blocking. Maybe I need to delay a day to see the results of these experiments

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Hope this video helped in deciding on the right method to deal with the curl in your project :-)

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

My wife is coming back to Crochet and I found you for her. I am so glad to watch this with her because, I now know why my cotton😂 T shirts roll up from the bottom in the front; thread tension. You content is awesome and your presentation is even better. You make me smile as you talk. Such a good human. Thank you for the lessons and information. We are sub 159k

[@karenbirckhead3101]

You are simply fabulous!! I learned Tunisian crochet from you and love the technique. I love how you share your experiences which only leads to growth. You are definitely my favorite and most accomplished crochet artiste!! Carry on!❣️❣️❣️

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Awwww wow! Thank you so much, this means so much to me. We can all learn from each other and I'm glad that you find value in the videos I make. xoxo

[@milliewatts3912]

Several years ago I took 2 classes in Tunisian crochet. One for a lacy scarf and the other for a cable scarf. To "help" with curling she had us to start thr first row in the back hump rather than the normal stitch. It seemed to help. I absolutely love your podcasts and look forward to each new one. I am 83 and still enjoy crocheting as well as other fiber arts. Thanks for all you do and so sweetly, too.😊❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Thanks for sharing that tip with us, and I'm so happy that you enjoy my channel. My wish is that I can continue to enjoy crochet all my life, as you have 💛

[@patriciajohnson173]

Just seeing you for the 1st time (tension curling) Love you personality

[@TLYarnCrafts]

So glad the algorithm shared my video with you and that you enjoyed it. Come back anytime!!

[@colleenhansen9036]

I just wanted you to know how much joy I felt seeing you pop up in my feed. 🥰

[@haley6969]

I’ve been trying to learn crochet since I was pregnant with my daughter but I could never get the hang of it. I found your videos a few months ago and I FINALLY got it! I really love Tunisian, and I’ve been able to teach my now 10 year old daughter who also loves it! ❤

[@TLYarnCrafts]

SQUEEEEE! I love hearing that! Keep up your practice - it only gets better with time. And to hear that your daughter is into crochet now, too, warms my heart!! I love that you're sharing this craft together and making so many memories. Keep it up!!

[@AmiableGrace]

I’m working on your Westmont shawl right now and I love that it alternates the simple stitch sections and the mesh stitch sections to fight the curl!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

That's one of my favorite patterns! So glad you enjoy it :-)

[@terryannsweeney4428]

I am binge watching your Tunisian crochet tutorials! I have a couple of needles ready… They were my moms which are over 50 years old, but they will work for now. You are such a joy to watch, so incredibly insightful, thorough, and informative! I sure hope you make it to 1 million subscribers! Just love your enthusiasm and great personality! I know these are a lot of work to make these tutorials, and I really appreciate you! 😊❤🎉

[@deetorbett2363]

Sweetie I just found this and....I LOVE YOU! Thank you! (I subscribed as fast as my finger could tap. )

[@SaraofWheatStateWoolCo.]

I really love your experiment tutorials like this! I mean I'm sitting here with headphones on and nodding my head and saying out loud, "yes!" lol. I don't enjoy blocking but I agree with you, don't just stop after doing all that work! I love how thorough you are and I mean you just really reached me here! One of these days I'm going to send you some of my hand dyed yarn to review and I'd love to see how my yarn looks worked up and blocked!

[@ciannacoleman5125]

100% honesty I use exercise mats (cheaper than "blocking" mats and the same but bigger) and quilting pins to block lol. At some point in the not so far future I will get some blocking pins but for now I have not done enough projects to invest in the "special" tools. The quilting pins I have are thick enough they haven't caused any problems.

[@GregoryLawson-k9o]

I love all of your videos. I have been crocheting for a number of years now and only recently came across your channel. Ironically enough around the time I decided I really wanted to commit to learning Tunisian Crochet. Your reviews of hooks helped me get a huge leap toward figuring out what my starter set was going to be (Lantern Moon ended up being the winner for now). I have heard you mention in a couple videos now that there are over 400 documented Tunisian Crochet stitches...however...I can not for the life of me find more than maybe 10-15 videos and about 100 from books that I have been able to find online. I am obsessed with making clothing with traditional crochet and would love to do so with Tunisian as well. I have a bad habit of not following the pattern with traditional and essentially end up making a whole new pattern in the process which has taught me SO many lessons. As a maker who wants to make clothing for a male body structure I often struggle to find patterns that are designed in this way. Not really a huge issue as the lessons I have learned with "going rogue" in traditional crochet. However, I am just starting out in Tunisian and given there are less patterns out there especially for patterns designed for a male body structure...I want to have as many tools in my tool belt as possible. A resource for as many stitches as possible would be fantastic. Is there a resource that you know of that I would be able to find this information? I would love to have a reference guide even if it is a collection of books, websites, blogs, or other designers/makers if you have any recommendations or guidance!

[@AM-zp2vv]

I cannot believe how much I just learned in one video! 😊 THANK YOU so much! You are truly an expert!

[@kayceegreer4418]

Some Textile Industry knowledge and crafting experience on Acrylic Fiber, plus, a parenthetical statement with ▪ marks the spot of how I like to work my Tunisian to avoid the curl : ● Instead of steaming, you can just give acrylic a HOT bath with fabric softener and produce the same effect; lay it flat to dry on the right side/face of it the first time. You may even have to put some double folded towel weight upon it. Doubtful you'd ever have to do it this way again. . . But don't quote me. I've only done a couple or three of my Tunisian projects this way and they were done with an H or I size hook ( ▪ I do one to three rows of purl stitch first, to avoid the curling problem in the first place - why fix when you can avoid - I also bend and pull my project around my hook to pull all of those front threads forward so that I do not get a big build-up of laxnesss in my Loops back there. As I work my stitches, I try to make sure there is laxness on the front/in my "pull through" loops - but just enough to be able to work the stitches coming back without making them tight to avoid the curl). ● The length of time in which you bathe it can produce smoother and smoother yarn, as the crimp uncrimps due to the Heat because Acrylic is very Temperature Sensitive. Longer bath = less crimp ( unless your water cools off because the sink is made of man-made synthetic materials, not enamel or porcelain over iron). Due to the nature of Acrylic and what the heat does to it, you may want to choose the bathtub to spread a garment or blanket out more. The part that curls definitely needs to be laid flat, in case I needed to say that. ● This (decrimping with heat) can actually eliminate some skin irritation, or a lot, in those who are non-allergic, but "sensitive" to "scratchy/ itchy" yarn products. ● Any heat above WARM, i.e. steaming, or a dryer or iron set on anything higher than Permanent Press or Synthetics*, such as COTTON/ HEAVY DUTY/ HOT setting, will change the crimp that is deliberately produced in the Manufacturing of acrylic yarn to mimic cotton or wool at the Factory. ● When the boiling hot solution is extruded through the spinnerette, a Cold shot of aerosolized water is sprayed at the fiber strand to produce a crimp to resemble either cotton or wool "staple"**. ● Acrylic is brittle at cold temperatures, so that is why cold wash is not recommended. It is the very reason Warm Wash is recommended. As I've said, acrylic is temperature sensitive. ● Any heat above WARM or Permanent Press/Synthetics setting will change the crimp to decrease the loft/ fluff/ bounciness of acrylic yarn. ● This is why steam blocking pretty much Permanently Presses acrylic yarn into submission, and makes it limper, aka "drapier". ● If any pressure is applied by a steam iron - if anybody is thinking of using an iron*** - that will depress the fabric and permanently press it into near flatness. If that is the look you're going for, go for it. I have used it to produce an effect on a stitch to make it look like those flattened link bracelets you see. * A HOT dryer can actually permanently wrinkle acrylic garments and blankets, because as the dryer goes into a cool down cycle, it permanently presses the wrinkles into your garments. **Staple(s) is an industry term for the fuzz you pull off of cotton ball, or, the down that comes from close to the animal skin in the case of wool. Staples is graded on its length which is why you pay a higher price for certain cotton and wool goods. *** Ironing: don't use a setting above the highest Synthetic setting - and use a Teflon or terry cloth (or flannel, if you must, but doubled/folded to be thicker) pressing cloth.

[@barryjacobs8524]

Three times I have tried Tunisian but it curls. I love it perhaps I can start again on her advice😊

[@JuanaGal220]

You are so awesome! I love listening to you, you'd be so fun to hang with! Thank you!

[@HillaryBean-cn4ny]

I am 75 years old, I remember when Tunisian crochet was the aphgan stitch. I love your videos, I love your explanations and delivery, I love watching you work, and I love trying out new stitches. Do you have any videos that show how to recover from a mistake? Example: mess up the mesh stitch with the yarn overs, how to recover without ripping out all the way back for a do over. I wish you all the best. You have given an old knitter a whole new set of options.

[@TerrilynandJeffStout]

I tried Tunisian crochet in the 80's. I still have the hook (hook on both ends). Without someone to show me, I failed miserably. I have been crocheting since I was 9, and I love it. I saw your KZbin video on learning Tunisian in 15 minutes. I dug out that new but old hook and gave it a go. I'm hooked! (Pun intended)😊. Thanks for giving me something new to add to my love of crochet! P.s. I've subscribed and liked your channel. Yay!!!! 🎉

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Yayy! So glad I could help you put that new/old hook to good use ;-) Keep it up, there's so much to explore in Tunisian crochet 🙌

[@dianemccabe9907]

Thanks so much for the blocking info!! Just finished an acrylic sweater and steamed blocked it! Wasn't exactly sure how to do that. Just starting another Tunisian crochet sweater .... You are a great help! Ewenited stitches sent me to you!!! I will be back for more!! Love your pattern!!! Could be my next project!! I'm hooked!!

[@maxinenall9950]

You are so right about the curl 😵 I hate making something and it has that burrito roll going on 😱 I had used a size bigger hook for the first row, added a border but my favorite is steam blocking 🥰 Thanks for all the examples and that beautiful shawl 🥰

[@idontknowwhattowrite6905]

It comes at the best time ! Recently, thanks to your vids I started practicing the basic Tunisian Stitch Pattern, before moving on to the Smock Stitch and after I finished my swatch, it was all curled up !

[@TLYarnCrafts]

don't you just hate when that happens?! grrrrr!! Hope some of these tips are helpful for you

[@rachelc2471]

This is so helpful! I love all the examples, very straightforward.

[@KristiesHooked]

I was just coming to say steam blocking works. The only time I don't steam block is on scarves because I actually like the look of the little curl at the ends. You can also add tassels to stop the curl on some projects, especially scarves and throws.

[@flagerdevil]

whatever I search for regarding tunesian crochet, you are right there with a video about it! 😁❤️

[@mirjam7638]

If you've got a lot of curl you can modify the border method and work the border on the top and bottom edges into the closest row of bumps on the back to pull it in the other direction

[@Whisper-Tunes]

Oh so you place it FACE DOWN! I'll be sure to try that with the sweater I'm working on right now! Thanks for the tip!

[@CopperA]

I gave up on Tunesian years ago. Loved the stitches but hated the curl! Thank you so much. Love, love, love your channel ❤

[@javierchuvieco6444]

I just suscribed (before the end of the video). I'm a beginner crocheter (I only made like 4 scarfs and a couple of small amigurumi) and I found your chal tutorial with honedew and simple stitch a couple of days ago, and I loved everything about it. I tried a sample with my regular crochet and I loved the result and the feel, and I also felt the enthusiasm you convey about tunisian crochet. Since then I've been looking for tunisian crochet hooks with cable. I'm from Madrid, a capital city, and none of the main yarn places has these hooks, some of then even no tunisian hooks at all! It's so frustrating, I went to physical shops because I literally want to start now. I ended buying a 6.5mm one online, so I hope to be able to start soon. The thing is, in the meantime, I'm learning with some of your videos, and it is exquisite how you explain, how visible is everything, and how light and tecnical and enthusiastic is the general tone of your vids, and really literally laughing out loud when in this video you start to present blocking. I think that's the moment when I hit suscribe. I guess I wrote all of that because this happens to be the video (within the ones I whatch) in which you most properly ask people to consider suscribing, and it felt funny I just did even before you asked it, for many of the reason you mentioned.

[@janisphelps1019]

I just subscribed. I have seen 2 of your vids and now this one. I have not picked up my 5.5 needle to make anything yet. I have enjoyed your vids, they make me feel like I can, I just need the desire to move forward. Janis

[@vintageangelcrafts]

Thank you for covering this topic! My current WIP is a Tunisian sweater for my husband that mixes simple rib stitch, rows of simple stitches, and honeycomb. The honeycomb corrects the curl for the most part, but at first it was driving me crazy. I've not tried facedown, so I will try this 😊

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Sounds like this video popped up right on time! Hope some of the tips are helpful :-)

[@nuvoclassic]

Thank you, Toni! I'm a long-time crocheter, and recently took a Tunisian crochet workshop. But the project curled so much that I dropped Tunisian. Wish the instructor had given these tips YEARS ago! I still have 1 Tunisian hook left - maybe I'll try again. Great tips - especially blocking acrylic with steam!

[@kimsmith7919]

Hi Toni, I am a beginner and I just came across your video. I love your instructions. Very detailed and I love that you go at a rate that even a beginner can keep up. Of course I subscribed! Thanks.

[@hazelvine]

I discovered the Tunesian Crochet Bump Stitch (where you go in from the top bump) and I instantly fell in love with it because it completely removed the curling for me while still looking like a beautiful textured pattern. :)

I’ve been crocheting for 32 years and Tunisian crocheting for about 6 months. I have always found blocking to be very effective for shaping all sorts of items. I don’t have blocking matts or those nifty looking pin blocking things but I think I’m gonna put those on my wish list!

[@severineg8702]

[@judylebeck2872]

What helps me combat curl is to draw up my forward pass loop enough that my hook can lay along the top edge of my piece. For me, this also helps blocks be more consistent in size between the different stitches.

[@gaylesuggs8523]

Toni, what an absolutely wonderful video! You are right about Tunisian - it is fun to work on, but that curl can drive you nuts! Excellent suggestions (some I've heard of before, but your explanations are terrific - you are such an excellent teacher, by the way). I was also delighted to see all of the beautiful Tunisian stitches you shared, many of which I haven't done before. That honeycomb - oh my! My "go to" with Tunisian has always been a pattern from Red Heart called "Trip Around the World - it was basically an entrelac, checkerboard-type pattern that started in the center and you worked your way around (using the Tunisian simple stitch), changing colors on each round. I have made several afghans using this pattern and gifted them. Only seven stitches on each block, so I didn't even have to use a Tunisian hook. Another KZbinr used it as a tutorial, and he also developed a border (still using Tunisian) that filled in the corners, and that greatly helped the curling, so I absolutely recommend a border to help with the curling. And thanks for the explanation on steam blocking - I need to get a foam blocking board and some pins as I'm working on a granny square afghan now (regular double crochet) and it will need to be blocked before I put it together. As always, many thanks!😃

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Oooo thanks for the heads up on the entrelac blanket - I'll have to check that out. I haven't tried that technique from the center out!!

[@OrganicMommaGA]

Your video tutorials and reviews have definitely helped me grow as a crocheter and gain confidence in my hobby, and for that I am eternally grateful! I adore your positive energy and way of phrasing so things are easy to understand, as well as not throwing shade at different fibers but giving (what I feel is) balanced review/overview that really does work well. I have always stuck with acrylic or cotton yarns because of their affordability and relative versatility, but when we are in a better financial place, feel equipped to also handle some higher-end fibers for special projects. Thank you, Toni!

[@TLYarnCrafts]

It warms my heart to hear that you've deepened your love of crochet with the help of my videos. It's exactly what I try to accomplish :-) I do hope you get a chance to explore other fibers. I love acrylic/cotton for the same reasons you do, and look forward to you appreciating other fibers for their unique characteristics :-)
