I've knitted with all their yarns except the linen (I'm not a designer, just knit waaaaaaaaay too much). Overall, I don't have any issues knitting, but by far my favorite is the finita! I like to make lace sweaters and cardigans and it's lightweight and soft but not uncomfortably hot like the wool ones. The bamboo is really nice for brioche stitch, but not so much lace. I have 2 summer cardigans I made from bamboo that are nice and flowy

In my experience as a weaver (& knitter, spinner, crocheter, etc) I've found that linen-based yarns work best in weaving and cooperate best that way. Linen is really 'grippy' even when spun smoothly so crocheting or even knitting with linen yarn can be difficult no matter what; viscose is slippier so I assume that's why it was used for a yarn intended for knitting, but it would still be difficult with the linen inclusion.

Omg Fredrik Backman! Many years ago when I was 13 I read his book (my favorite ever) "A man called Ove" and wrote a piece about him in school at the time. I had the chance to meet him and give it to him, and he signed the books I had, we talked for a long time. It's amazing to see his book turn into a movie and then be nominated for an Oscar - and now see people from all over the world (like you!) mention him. He is truly the sweetest man ever, and so talented!

Hi Toni, your energy is infectious! I really like the way you review yarns. I love your Tunisian crocheting. I can’t believe how many different ways you can create a design in Tunisian crochet! I’ve used Tunisian crochet once, and don’t think I had it down pat. But watching you crochet (not necessarily in this video, but in other videos tutorials) just inspires me to try Tunisian crochet more often. I’m plan to try some of your designs. Don’t stop doing what you’re doing, you’re great! (I have even seen you on CreateTV!) Wonderful you are! So lively, friendly and bubbly!

After just completing my first ever pair of knitted socks with fingering, I'm so glad you had Finita on here. I didn't think I'd ever WANT to work with fingering and I KNEW I didn't want to touch lace weight but now you've got me rethinking that. The swatch you did was GORGEOUS. I think that stitch would make a great summer tee or dress pattern...just saying. Thanks, Toni!

Hi Tony! I am writing for the first time and I have recently started following you... I felt immediate connection with you as I saw your first video for the reason that we share similar passion for Crochet. Although I am quite handicapped with the "social networking thing" I love to watch your videos and now I have subscribed to your channel so I can directly see them. I am not expert in crochet but I too find it quite calming. BTW I loved your video where you used siri for selecting colour. A common thing which I had observed in your videos is that I see you using a crochet hook of large size than what I would have picked for a particular yarn. Could you make a video regarding how to choose the hook size based on yarn or design. Please.

Toni: Great review as are all of your yarn reviews. I will have to try out the Finita yarn as well as the Dyak Tunisian hooks. I have never heard of this company until now.
