Today we're exploring marled yarn options (think: Spincycle Yarns) within a range of price points-from BUDGET to BOUGIE!
(The sweater I’m here is my Felix Pullover # 3
www.ravelry.com/projects/Tayl... )
Welcome to the Wool Needles Hands Knitting Midweek Ramble, a new video format I’m introducing to the channel. It’s a place for me to ramble about other knitting//fiber//craft-related topics that just don’t make it onto the podcast episodes (usually for the sake of brevity).

I just bought Feederbrook Farm yarn at Rhinebeck and I can confirm, it is LOVELY!! It's my first time buying marled yarn like this, and I can't wait to use it. You don't see these yarns crocheted too often, so it should be a fun challenge 😀

Tayler, thank you for doing this, particularly since you are an independent dyer. I'm always impressed how you showcase others' yarn as well as your own. You could do as many other dyers do and only talk about your own yarn, because your yarn is amazing. I have a sweater quantity of your yarn waiting to be knitted up as soon as I figure out the rest of my pattern lol - you would have every right to feature your yarn proudly in all of your videos and just call it a day. I've encountered a lot of ridiculous yarn snobbery and elitism in the past few years, especially on IG and YT. There also has been some straight-up Mean Girl behavior from some popular designers and dyers that really leaves a bad taste. The price points of some of the patterns and kits with recommended yarn keeps them out of reach for a lot of people. Some knitters, especially newer ones might not be as savvy or as confident in their yarn substitution, so it's really quite wonderful what you've done here. I love Knitpicks in general as a great source for quality yarns. I've also used Schoppel Zauberball Crazy yarns, Primrose Yarn, and Patons Kroy sock yarns for several projects. I look forward to checking out some of these other recommendations.

Knitpicks is my go to for almost all my projects these days - they have a great variety and great prices - if you hate acrylics but you need to make something for a baby or a cancer patient, or someone allergic to wool, thier Brava yarns are just SO nice to work with - nothing like the acrylics you will get in the craft stores.

Queensland Perth - 80% superwash wool/20% nylon - 100g/437 yds/$15.00 (at Simply Sock Yarn) and Queensland Rainbow Bridge 100% superwash wool - 100g/328 yds - $16.75 - Just to add an option. This definitely has a more rustic hand to it, but it works well for me because I use it for socks. I will absolutely be indulging in some of the Feederbrook Farms yarn when I have the budget for it. I love BFL.

@CrazyAuntVal Жыл бұрын

👍I totally agree about the Queensland yarns, they are well made and their colour choices are varied and lovely. An interesting FYI ~ Queensland and Jojoland yarns are spun from the same fibres and produced in the same factory. They are often indistinguishable from one another; so if you can't find Queensland in your area, Jojoland is the perfect substitute - and vice-versa.

I also appreciate the many options available for those times when natural fibers are not an option economically. I have fond memories of falling in love with crochet as a young girl, using the very cheapest of acrylics. Thanks again!

I've knit socks with it and it holds up really nicely.

Great Podcast - thank you!!! This is the first one of yours I've seen and won't be the last for sure! You mentioned JoJoLand yarn. I just ran across them with a surprisingly great situation! My sister and I bought yarn at a store in WI for an Aran type sweater for my great niece and we didn't buy enough. We called the shop and they were able to order more yarn and I assumed I'd have to make do with whatever dye lot was available. I was thrilled to find out they still had that dye lot and I got the yarn in a timely manner. The yarn is Baritone, a 100% superwash wool, and the color is a beautiful rich green, perfect for an Irish sweater and the price was $10.00 for 100 grams/220 yards. And I love working with it, it's a very nice soft wool yarn. Also, before we called the shop in WI, I tried calling JoJoLand directly in Texas and though they seem to be a very small business, they did return both my call and my email within a business day or two. So, overall, I was impressed!
