Woolen spun yarn or worsted spun is how the fiber is prepped before it's spun. Worsted spun is a tighter more defined spin because the fibers are combed straight before the spin. Woolen spun is loftier and airy. Superwash or Non-Superwash is whether or not a treatment has been used to make the yarn machine washable. The stitch definition has a lot to do with how the yarn is spun and not necessarily whether it's Superwash or not. Look into the terms so you have a better idea of which yarn to use. It'll help you to find substitutions more easily.

Thank you so much for this comment! You are correct that I used the terms incorrectly. I'm pinning it here so others can use it as a resource. Thanks for watching ♥️

Oh yeah! You could over dye it, rather than pulling it all out. It is beautiful, and you have put in a lot of work on it! Whoever made that suggestion is right! ❤

@YarnStorieswithOlivia Ай бұрын

Your channel just showed up on my home page and I’m so glad it did. You have a great presence and so comfortable showing your knits. Looking forward to following your journey here as a podcaster. Don’t apologize for yarn substitutions as we all should use is yarn that makes us happy - I’m a firm believer that all yarn deserves a chance 🫶

Congratulations - thank you for showcasing your knit passion with a knit podcast. You inspired me to try the pressed flower since I spin myself, and the pressed flower really showcased the beautiful hand-spun yarn so well. Remember that you can redye the Afra sweater - for another color. It is not very difficult, and the sweater is so beautiful. And if it fits, that's the most important. Thank you for putting your voice out. Love from Scandinavia

A lovely first podcast! The mustard color looks nice with your skin tone, hair, and eyes. Maybe knit a cowl/scarf with more colors to wear with it. It would also be pretty with a flowy woven silk, multicolored scarf near your face. If that doesn't work I agree with others...overdye it, which could be a fun project. Looking forward to seeing you again.

I know what you mean about the knitting hobby, I don't know a soul who knits. In SW Ga., everyone crochets. Oh well, least there is You Tube to connect with other knitters. As for that gorgeous camel colored sweater, no way I'd rip that out. It's beautiful. You can knit another one, if you don't like the color of that one, or maybe you can gift it to someone. The Flowers cardigan is to die for, love your color choices. Congrats on your new podcast, I'm sure you will do well. You are very personable and fun to listen to.

Congratulations on your first podcast, I really enjoyed it! I think the beautiful teal yarn will better suit your colouring for your sweater. You put a lot of work and time in your golden sweater but if you don’t love it you will never wear it. We should all love what we knit so go with your heart!

Your channel popped up and I am so glad I watched!! I love your enthusiasm for knitting. The Afra……such a tough call. If you aren’t loving the colour I think over dying is definitely an option - as long as you love the fit after finishing, after fixing the cuff and after blocking. I love knitting for the s-l-o-w aspect of it ❤

So Nice to stumble into this lovely podcast 😍 about the sweater: I would finish it (since it is allmost done anyway), and then I would knit it again in the teal colour 🤩💙

@kathleencrabb9190 Ай бұрын

I think you are a natural in front of the camera. I know that you said you don't have a problem reknitting the Afra but it would pain ME to have you undo all those hours of work. Ask yourself what the original intention you had to wear this with and keep that in mind before the frogging starts. Best of luck with this new adventure and looking forward to your next podcast whenever you have the time to post.

@movingstitches Ай бұрын

also! if you are not happy with the color, you can dye it or , since it is cashmere, frog it and use it for a half and half for whenever you finish the other one, as you will enjoy the process of your next background project! I have frogged manchelopis knitted in 2 different projects because I was not vibing with the project. It is a pain, but you gotta trust your gut :)

I enjoyed your podcast. I have socks as “stress projects”, I knit a tube, then cut in an afterthought heel. They don’t take that long, are small, plus easily portable-my purse project.

Thank you so much, Claudia, for your lovely podcast. I'm already looking forward to your next one. Thank you too for introducing me to two patterns that I loved - the Darjeeling blouse and the pressed flowers cardigan. I will definitely knit one, if not both. I love that you use colour! So many podcasters seem to knit almost always in neutrals. I agree with everyone about the Afra sweater. You may love it when you've finished it. If not you could gift or sell it.

Hi from England! Loved your podcast! The pressed flowers series of patterns never floated my boat, to be honest. that is until you held up.your cowl and cardigan!

Stress knit! Love it. I have the pattern and hesitated to make it for a friend. I will be jotting down great pointers such as swatches (which I will keep for reference in a notebook) to get with this pattern for not a WIP but a Stress Knit bag! Young lady, you bring modern colors that my granddaughters and I would love. One is nineteen, the other five. Both are going to love it. I have put the notification on to avoid missing your next one.

The Afra sweater looks great! You could wear a scarf to add some colour, or overdye it, though you'd want to practice on something else. It would be tragic to ruin it.
