7 affordable, high-quality yarns and what I made from them | HERBGARDEN knitwear 

Thank you so much for sharing your extensive bank of knowledge. Hugely appreciated. I plan on researching all the yarns you described. One of my favorite yarns is Drops AIR blown yarn. If you’re not familiar with it, it is a unique experience. It is wool blown into a woven tube, not spun. I made a cable sweater, even with this lofty yarn, the definition is beautiful. Also I love your designs and your knitting is beautiful.

Oh my goodness! You must release that cardigan 😍😍😍

Hanna, I so appreciate this information! Thank you so much!

I have used Tynn Line and Holst Garn Supersoft and love them both a lot. Tynn Line splits easily though. I would love to try the BC Garn Loch Lomond. I love woolly wool !!! Thanks you so much for all your suggestions.

Thank you! I really appreciate informative podcasts.

Fabulous round up of yarns .loved this podcast

A great podcast. The first I have seen of yours and I have subscribed because I also love your designs. ❤

I loved this topic, you are so helpful, and your knitting is very beautiful.

Very informative. Thank you. I’m looking forward to trying out some of your recommendations.

You knit impeccably wow!!

Your knitting is amazing!!!! I enjoyed seeing your beautiful sweaters and hearing about the beautiful yarns💗🧶

Thank you for the reviews of the yarns. All of these were unknown to me. Beautiful sweaters too.

I loved your video. You explained it very well and you did a beautiful items. Thanks a lot

Your sweaters are beautiful!

Very informative, thank you. Glad I found your channel.

Your English is wonderful!!

Another great episode, Hanna! I love the summer tee you are wearing and I am looking forward to it's release🥰 If I could only knit with one yarn for the rest of my life I think it must be Rauma Finull. It's wonderful norweigan wool. The color range is huge. It's perfect for colorwork because it's so forgiving. One of my favourite yarns🙂 Hope you have beautiful spring days☀️

Thank you for your thoughts on these yarns! I have recently moved to Europe to live so it's great to know what I should try, the yarn options here can be overwhelming. I love the top you are wearing too. Looking forward to the pattern!

Thanks for your great yarn tips. I went and purchased some sandnes garn Line.

First time finding your channel. I am a fan! I will definitely give the Icelandic wool a try. Sending greetings from Vienna!!

Thank you so much for this overview of different yarns. I just started my research for getting into knitting and I found your video to be very helpful.

Wow, you make some beautiful sweaters and I’m impressed with your knitting overall!! Loved learning about your favorite yarns. Makes me wish I lived in Europe. I never get enough yarn and love learning about it. Thank you! ❤❤❤

what a lovely overview. I've only tried the holst supersoft (together with a mohair) of these yarns and loved it so much. I would love to try the line and the austerman merino cotton later this year or next year, thanks for your overview

Thank you for the suggestions! I'm only just starting to learn knitting but my local stores carry acrylic mostly, I will definitely research your recommendations ❤

What a great video! I totally agree on the Loch Lomond and the Line, such great yarns. I personally don't enjoy Holst Supersoft, but I think I might have knitted it too tightly. I would loooove to see the video about German handdyers ☺️ Liebe Grüße aus Würzburg!

It was lovely to see your video, I can never figure out how much yarn you need for a sweater, talking about the quality of different yarns was nice! Loved the designs of your sweaters as well 😍

This was a very interesting podcast!. I live in the US and I have found two good sources for Sandnes Garn and British wools. I think it’s helpful to think about the costs and quality of the yarns as well as how they perform when knitting and wearing. Thanks for sharing information podcasts!!

Thank you! You described everything beautifully and very helpful information for me as a new knitter. I am exploring garment knitting now and have trouble finding affordable quality yarns. So glad to have found you! Beautiful work and your color choices and design are so beautiful as well. ❤

I loved seeing all of the European yarns. I love rustic and tweedy yarns like you had here. My favorite yarn back when I knit a lot is no longer made, but I would go for Harrisville Tweed or Green Mountain Spinnery yarn here in the US. I love woolenspun wool of all types. I'd love to try some unspun yarn.

Your video was super helpful. I am traveling to Germany soon and will shop for the cotton merino and others for sure! I also love Line and just finished Le Knit peacock tee in it. Beautiful!

I can’t wait for your Fibre Artist Sweater.

Liked and subscribed! The holst cones weighing 38 grams is a lifesaver! Thank you so much!

I love all your knits so much. They are just gorgeous! I bought 9 skeins of Loch Lomand in Paris for a souvenir. Seven skeins magenta and 2 skeins pink. I am sensitive to wool so I am thinking of a large shawl. I love what you made with it. Love the tweedy texture!

So interesting, thank you

You are amazing. I don't knit...I crochet, but I still really enjoyed your video. Your garments are spectacular!

Really enjoyed this podcast…living in the US, most of the yarn names I’m familiar with but have not used. I do have a sweater quantity of Loch Lomomd I’m really looking forward to trying now. You are an amazing knitter & designer.

I’m using the Holst Supersoft for my Poise Sweater right now and I’m loving it! I’m super excited to see how it feels after a few washes 😊

Thank you so much for such informative video. I have worked with plotulopi and holst supersoft. Austermann I tried their silk mohair and found it very soft. I would love to try Erika design highland wools after watching this. I have knitted with Jamieson and smith 2 ply jumper weight and love the stitch definition and the fact that it does not pill much.

great video! thanks

I’m so envious of the yarns available near you. I would go to a yarn shop every day if I could just to see the wonderful yarns. I live in rural U.S. Not many yarns available here. We have to order online and it gets expensive. Your knitting is beautiful. Thank you for your video.

I love the brioche cardigan knit with Plotulopi! I hope you are able to write up the pattern. It's gorgeous!!

If I had to choose only one yarn for the rest of my life (praying that that'll never happen 😅) it would be Holst Garn Coast. I find it so so wonderful and would be able to knit both summer and winter garments, and I like the colour range

My Mondim socks wear out too fast but while they last they’re my favorite feeling socks. I have about 8 different skeins I’m probably going to make hats or something else with them. I do love the yarn though.

This is the first time I have seen one of your videos. I am so glad you came up in my feed today and I have subscribed to your channel because I want to see more! Thank you for showing us such affordable, yet quality yarns. Before this video, the only yarns I was familiar with were the Sandnes Garn Line, the BC Garn Loch Lomond, and the Ístex Plötulopi. I am amazed at how reasonably priced these yarns are. I live in the U.S., so I will have to research where I can obtain these yarns and how much they will cost me! I am amazed at how in expensively you can make a sweater using as yarn as a cardigan. Because of how enthusiastic you were about the yarn, I am really hoping I can find the Holst Supersoft. Because I had never seen your videos before, I didn’t even realize that you were not just a knitter, but a designer! I love your patterns. And how nice that so many of the pieces that you shared were knit up in the blue color of these various yarns. That is one of the colors that I also gravitate towards, so I could really visualize how these sweaters, as well as the yarns, could work for me. I have a backlog of projects that I already have planned (and I already have purchased the yarn for them), but as soon as I see daylight, I look forward to purchasing several of your patterns and knitting them up for myself. You intrigued me with the yarn you used for the socks. I am just beginning to knit socks, and I was led to believe that you must have nylon in the yarn in order for the sock to have any longevity. I had always thought that making a wool-only sock would always lead to disappointment because the heels would certainly wear out. You may have convinced me that this is not at all true. We shall see. Hanna, it was so nice to discover your channel, and I look forward to viewing your other videos and podcasts. BTW, my granddaughter shares your name, but she spells it Hannah. ❤🧶🐾

Holst supersoft is one of my go-to yarns, but I recently discovered a love for cascade 220!

I'm knitting with Plötulopi while watching this, with an order of Holst Supersoft on the way 😄 But I have to say, Plötulopi is very scratchy (haven't washed it yet, I hope it will get softer). But I recently tried Manchelopis after it was mentioned in another podcast, it is organic wool from Spanish Manchego sheep. It is MUCH softer than Plötulopi and around 8 EUR / 100g in a German online shop ;) but the colour variety is not very big yet.

I love the video and the yarns. I am very interested in the brioche cardigan pattern that you made with Plutolopi. It is wonderful. I love plutolopi yarn. When do you plan on releasing the pattern?

Thank you so much! I am currently knitting a fair isle sweater in Holst and it is IS super stiff and rough. I’m glad to know it will soften. Also what color is that blue in holst it’s gorgeous! Thank you again, enjoyed very much ❤

I really love drops yarn. I look for the ones that are 100% alpaca or merino, usually I get the puna one. they have decent colour range, but most of all it's incredibly cheap for being 100% alpaca wool

Currently I love my John Arbon Exmoor socks! But I want to knit with many more yarns before I make a lifetime decision. By the way, John Arbon yarns are also available from the german handdyer Bohei yarn.

I wanted the Loch Lomond but I'm not sure I would say it's budget friendly. Not where I live in USA unfortunately. Depending on where you buy it and the color you want I've seen shops selling them for 14$ usd. So for a sweater we are looking at hand dyed prices.

I love the designs and colors you chose. Will you be texting the patterns? You are a good knitter.

Hello! Any update on when the pattern for the tee you're wearing will be available? I absolutely love it. Thank you. :)

Hi i followed u from my gaming channel (tanysims)😂 and this one too(tahani_crafts) i realy think knitting is harder then crochet 😂😂so u are super creative love your sweaters all beutiful 🎉great work ❤also nice to know about knew yarns and qualities❤

Oh God your not released pattern with BC yarn Is lovely ❤ when Will you release the pattern? I Need it😅❤😂

Dear Hanna, when will you release the pattern of the Fiber artist sweater? I would love to knit it in the yarn and the color you suggest here. Thanks for a very interesting video, its my first time visiting. I'm from Norway and share your oppinion on Line and tynn line as well. :)

What is the name of this shawl? I love your presentation thank you

Thank you! 😂

Hi i followed u from my gaming channel (tanysims)😂 and this one too my crochet channel(tahani_crafts) i realy think knitting is harder then crochet 😂😂so u are super creative love your sweaters all beutiful 🎉🎉🎉great work ❤❤❤also nice to know about knew yarns and qualities❤

is holst sturdier after you wash it? I have some but it feels kinda brittle and breaks easily, I am not sure if this is because i havent washed the spinning oil though. I want to use it for a project but I am concerned with the durability as this is something special that I would like to last.

hello Hanna ! I really love knitting and would like to get into working in this area, may you give me some advice about how to work in this area? I'm not major in knitting. Sincere thanks！

Holst supersoft actual has more yardage than stated because that spinning oil must account for some of that weight. The question is how much?🙈

Han a p.ease re.ease the pattern for your plotulopi sweater. I have 5 plates of grey and would be interested in that pattern

Can you say what mohair you held with the PLÖTULOPI please

Do you have to block sweaters each time you wash them?

Does the sandnes line yarn grow alot after washing?

I hope the textured wall is not the "popcorn" type that may contain asbestos - plz be careful.

I know it's been a while, but I've just stumbled upon your channel today. I did want to perhaps spur some thought about organic yarns. If you desire organic products for personal reasons, this wouldn't apply. But if you use organic yarns for environmental reasons, it may be better not to. Organic farming has a much lower yield per acre compared to conventional farming, thus requiring greater destruction of natural habitats in order to produce a similar amount of product. Just a thought.
