👋🏻 Hi 👋🏻 Gary, your entro was picture 🏞 POST CARD 🏞 perfect. Beautiful yarns, I can't wait to see what magic you'll create with them.

I love their yarns! They have the best deals but shop carefully. Oh you are right! Those weathered colours are so lovely and pleasing to the eye.

@urbanyarn Год назад

I have to agree with you about shopping carefully. I do need to read every detail on the yarn (to confirm the correct yarn weight by cross referencing how many grams v's the total length).

@SigalAlon Год назад

Hi Gary! Love the new color of Rockstar. The alpaca ones you showed at the beginning look interesting. I wonder how they'll work up. I think you'll really enjoy the hand dyed yarns. They're gorgeous.

@TheSablelou Год назад

That blue took my breath away! And then the beautiful Merino that was tonal!

I hear you on that one! that blue is electric and soft - striking and gentle all at the same time.

@@urbanyarn So here’s something funny . . .My son just returned from deployment last Thursday and his dear girlfriend asked if I would knit her some socks. Since I’m a sock knitter now I was happy to! When I asked what color she wanted she said purple. . .guess who hard to go shopping for purple! I had no purple in my stash! Rose would be ashamed of me!

LOL! No you are not weird for liking the crinkle of the plastic. Actually I'm indifferent to the sound.

@loricraft32 Год назад

Beautiful yarns Gary, my favourite would be the very first yarn the feliz purple tones ( gorgeous), the taupes & grey go well together but I think the princess blue would pop among the taupes also, loved the scenery at the start of this video real serene looking, the orange lilies remind me of the ones my husband bought me years ago, I had them for many years loved the colour ❤❤❤❤

@urbanyarn Год назад

Hello Lori - Thank you for commenting on the intro and exit video clips. Strangely I get such a kick out of those additional memories. The intro was a beach called Miracle Beach - a really sweet little boat launch and small boating habour.

Oooh what mouthwatering yarns! I'm definitely going to check out their website. Thank you for that helpful info - their prices are pretty good!

Hello there - ICE Yarns' website can be a bit difficult to navigate. After a few minutes (20mins) you get a better understanding of how to use it and read the cost prices (per unit v's per package).

@judyscreationsincrochet2710 Год назад

Those browns look good with Princess Blue but the brown & grey are also great but I like the blue & grey together also. Looks like those yarns & wish I was making an Ice Yarn order but have to wait for now. Your shipping & brokerage fees were lower than I remember paying. Good deal.

@urbanyarn Год назад

Hi Judy - perhaps the secret for the brokerage fees is to make it worth it by purchasing enough yarn in the one go. One of the last videos I watched you were going on a yarn *diet* and I think I might have to do the same too. Just for a little while - as I have around 50 yarns I have queued up to use!

@romaynecarlin1249 Год назад

hiya gary! nice haul you have. i received my ice order yesterday and im going to start the secret yarnery's (christa) frankly circles this weekend. so excited! i chose a similar color way to hers. yes, choose another 2wt to go with the neutral - i love doing that. the blue and brown hanks are spectacular together. hugs to you and chad!

The last ICE yarn I purchased was the Picasso pastel rainbow, as Crystal has shown many times , on Bag O Day crochet. I used it In my submission project challenge event, as a pinwheel accent . Today In Your video, I love the taupe and gray best ❤

@urbanyarn Год назад

Thanks for letting me know what you got in your last ICE yarn order. I've never tried Picasso, but it has intrigued me. Great choices for your favourites - they are also my new favourites as well.

@pattigolden1 Год назад

I've never purchased from "ice", you got some really nice choices. 🥰 I can't help but wonder if that "rock star" is mislabeled, I'm used to it looking like a shiny almost metallic. That merino/silk could be overdyed too!! Not to mention an amazing price! It's not fair that you get hit with shipping/tariff twice. I've been on an Indy yarn kick.... I keep telling myself "don't do it, don't do it...". I do it. 🙄 It's HOT here in central California, bugs sooooooooooo I also ordered some little cedar blocks (sticks? Planks? Whatever).. Gotta save that wool!! 🤣😂 I've never had a problem, but I'm not taking chances with my investments. I've been in a dark/moody/earthy kind of yarn mood. I think I'm ready for summer to be over.

@urbanyarn Год назад

LOL! Patti I loved the part where you tell yourself - "Don't do it" - that's very much like me. I have this little habit to fill a cart up and then strip it back to nothing, wait a few days and fill it up again. Sometimes I escape the "Purchase" button and other times I don't... LOL! I know what you are meaning about the cedar blocks. I found a place where I purchased cedar scented pouches and they smell divine!

@peggiegraham5945 Год назад

@KevinMontreal Год назад

Hey Gary, nice haul! I like the hanks as I am moving away from acrylic. As for the fees, I can’t get around them either. When I order from Hobbii it comes regular Canada Post and I usually have to pay around $30 in customs fees so basically when I decide to buy in Europe, I get a lot of yarn and it needs to be a great sale. I have family in the USA that I can ship to if I do Little Knits and pick it up there when I go visit and bring it back myself…

@urbanyarn Год назад

I hear you on buying from Europe when it comes to customs (or added brokerage fees). You're so lucky to have family you regularly visit in the States to collect all those US yummy yarns they sell. I agree with you that one of my go-to US stores would be Little Knits!

@Christena1601 Год назад

Wonderful haul. I have bought a sample of ice yarn from the yarn snob, just to see if I want take the plunge.

@romaynecarlin1249 Год назад

hi. try it. read carefully and take your time. its best for me to shop with a project in mind otherwise i'd go broke. the shipping is high but you amortize it for the skeins you get and its not terribly expensive at all. most often still cheaper than american stores.

@urbanyarn Год назад

That is some great advice and a good way to in corporate the shipping into the discounted yarn price.

@MarySiddell Год назад

I received a shipment from Ice this week. I couldn't believe the prices. I love the yarn, but I started a new project and I did notice the varying thickness. Sometimes very thin. I do love the colors and will finish the project. Will definitely order from them again.

@urbanyarn Год назад

Hello Mary. Thanks for letting me know that you have tried ICE Yarns and are willing to purchase from them again in the future. I can see myself going back for the Merino Extra Fine hand-dyed (and seeing when the other collection is back up for purchasing). I found a great pairing yarn I can use with the Alpaca/Wool/Acrylic blend and that's Rosetto yarn...Hmmm!

@MarySiddell Год назад

@@urbanyarn I've been working on an afghan and using the Picasso yarn. The more I work with this the more disenchanted I am. Thickness variance is really bad and it splits easily. Many places where the strands have been joined there is a large lump in the strand. I love the colors but not certain I would buy this again. I hope the other types I purchased are not the same. I would love to do something in cashmere. What can you tell me about it? Is it easy to work with, etc. Is the Rosetto from Ice?

@karaoverman7818 Год назад

Makes me want to buy more yarn. I have avoided Ice for awhile because of shipping, but that lace weight merino/silk is calling to me. And the other merino ex find.

@urbanyarn Год назад

Hi Valerie - I am so sad when it comes to brokerage fees from private third party couriers. I only do it once in a while if it's yarn I know for sure I cannot get anywhere else. There are some resellers of ICE Yarns in Canada to made it easier to purchase.

@@urbanyarn my last purchase was non-yarny however I couldn't get it (a gift for our daughter) here in Canada. I was thrilled with many of my US purchases from Little Knits and Love Crafts however I can't justify it anymore even with their amazing sale prices.

@urbanyarn Год назад

Hi Stacy - I'm not sure if the US would also get *Dinged* for brokerage fees when an ICE Yarns pack come into the States via FedEx? Then there would be the expense of shipping it through the postal service across into Canada. It may work out to be more expensive. However, that would be a work around.
