I would like to hear more about your sock yarn and any sock tips you may have. I enjoy so much about your videos, the gorgeous coastal sites, your garden, now your studio progress.

@sunrhyze 11 месяцев назад

I would really enjoy anything you have to say about socks, especially tips and tricks for basic socks without a pattern, sock yarn without nylon, DK socks, what do you do for heels and toes, etc. Definitely talk about socks! Your autumn colors are beautiful.

@suestubbe8783 11 месяцев назад

I enjoyed watching you while knitting socks and having breakfast. I too have to be outside every day...I live near the Avon so watch the heron and swans and deer most days. Thank you for your podcasts x

@marlenefaull248 11 месяцев назад

Yes please to any blog regarding your sock yarns. Knowing needle size and how they wear. Enjoyed watching your vlog. Thank you.

@seaweedeater3104 11 месяцев назад

I’d love you to do a segment/blog on knitting no nylon socks😊 Very tempted by those lovely autumnal colours 🧡

@RaineyDayReads 11 месяцев назад

The new studio is going up so quickly, although that’s probably my limited perspective of just seeing it in vlogs.

@blackmorerose 11 месяцев назад

I’ve knit quite a few pairs of socks in various no nylon yarns including 6 pairs in Woolly Mammoth and I’m happy to report all 6 pairs are still going strong. Natural Sock was one of the first no nylon sock yarns I tried back in early 2019 and it’s so good. Like you I’m a pretty loose knitter so the Hearth Sock is a great addition for when I’m not wanting to knit on quite such tiny needles. For any sock knitters out there who read this that have not yet tried Emma’s sock yarns I would 💯 recommend that you give them go if you can. 🧦

Hi Emma, thank you for a lovely peek into your week! I‘ve knit many socks but haven’t yet tried a no-nylon natural sock yarn and would love to hear your tips for knitting a hard-wearing sock. Also love seeing Rufus’ cameos ❤

@theknittingburrow 11 месяцев назад

Yesss, ignore the mess and go on with your day, I love that! :)

@darlenewatkins4999 11 месяцев назад

I would very much love to see a post on your socks and knitting with your yarns. Thanks! :)

@Button24 11 месяцев назад

I’d love you to show us how to knit the socks 🤩☘️🌹

@carolbulmer8253 11 месяцев назад

Hi, Emily. Thanks for sharing your week. I like the sweater that you’re working on. Your garden is beautiful❤️

@onepinkplumknits 11 месяцев назад

Always lovely to watch one of your episodes. Would love to hear more about socks

@magdamartinez2110 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma. An avid follower and collector of your yarns!! You clogs are great. I want to join the others and would be interested in your sock tips and tricks. So glad Rufus mad a guest appearance.

@chrissy24-7 11 месяцев назад

Oh please let Dobby crash some more 🥰 and Yes to info on socks without nylon ! 🧶

@paulacaldwell2948 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much for another lovey vlog! Loving seeing your yarns and the NI countryside and of course, Rufus 🐾 Watching from all the way in Adelaide, South Australia 🇦🇺

@fullamhoneyfiber 11 месяцев назад

This was so much fun. We are scorching here in Texas so I am living vicariously through everyone else north of us with decent weather. I would love to see more about your socks knit up with no nylon. I have some hearth DK from you that’s up in my docket and I love the wooly wools so much

@anitawessels3932 11 месяцев назад

You yarn is beautiful. Please show some garments in the yarn

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

I'll plan that for the next episode!

@judithburke3637 11 месяцев назад

What a fab podcast you are a delight

@annef.3387 11 месяцев назад

Hello and thank you for another great podcast. I’ve only ever used sock yarn with nylon and would love to know more about knitting socks with your sock yarn, how they wear, and maybe a couple pattern suggestions. Your garden looks beautiful! Looking forward to seeing how your new studio progresses.

@joshuahollykindness9168 11 месяцев назад

A heirloom quilt cardigan would look amazing in your hearth DK… I was think of holding all my natural sock and hearth sock leftovers double and then using one colour of hearth DK for the sleeves and ribbing, so pleased it will be in your shop this autumn 🍂🤎🧶

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Ah what a lovely idea! I’d love to see it if you do this 😊

@raphaele4561 11 месяцев назад

I am very interested by a video about how to knit sock with your yarn. Beautiful video !

@claireholmes7752 11 месяцев назад

Love your garden. Seems like you're getting the same sort of weather as we are! Fermanagh is well and truly in the lakes this 'summer' and I'm alarmed to see the leaves on the trees already turning! Autumn in mid August? Better get a move on with the sock yarn!

@MrMonet111 11 месяцев назад

Hello Emma and Rufus! My goodness your baby and gardens have grown. Would love to see a sock video😊 Will be36.6*C here in Virginia for a couple of days. We will take some of your rain😄

@carolinepartridge668 11 месяцев назад

Would be interested in gearing about your sock yarn and how you knit socks Emma please . Enjoyed this video and seeing those autumnal yarn colours too.

@this_skipper_knits959 11 месяцев назад

We've had so much rain here as well however it really makes everything SO GREEN 💚 (looking for the silver lining) your garden looks so good! Id love to knit a sweater in that green hearth sock you were holding (perfect green for me). Also the colour craze shawl you've shown in the past using those autumnal colours! 💚 thanks for sharing!

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Ohhh yes that’s a great call. Would look amazing in my autumnal colours!

@jessicalila3712 11 месяцев назад

I would love a vlog on knitting socks with no nylon content!

@SpintressStation 11 месяцев назад

I second this!!! 👍👍👌

@helenw889 11 месяцев назад

Great Vlog, would love info on non super wash sock yarn. I am very hard on my socks and would love to use some sturdy non super wash yarn. Patiently waiting for your Hearth DK yarns to make a cardigan 😊 your garden looks lovely and very lush and green from all the rain you’ve had.

@maria.b.this.old.cottage 11 месяцев назад

Hello Emma... thank you for sharing your week with us :) Yes, please do share how you knit your non-superwash/no nylon socks. I have knitted socks using my hand-spun yarn but has mixed it with mohair and when it felts it creates the most durable sock...but it is very warm to use with shoes :/ Thank you again for sharing. :)

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

I’ll definitely chat about this soon then :)

@MoonloreDancer 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma! The colours of your yarns have gotten me more excited for Autumn than I already was.😊 Nature never ceases to amaze me...all of her colours go together so well!!! Congrats on how well your studio is coming along! I love seeing your progress!!! I'm hoping for some upcoming days filled with sunshine and TIME!!! ❤❤❤ Kat

@krazedvintagemodel 11 месяцев назад

I look forward to hearing more about your hearth sock yarn. I refuse to learn to knit with needles and yarns so small I cannot see them. Blessings 🌻🧶

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Absolutely! Thick socks are underrated I feel. I definitely gravitate towards them the most!

@daniellesimpson9958 11 месяцев назад

Love that autumn is just around the corner (and the autumn colours!). I did a pair of socks this year in the Hearth Sock held double and it is a scrumptious outcome!! I just did a simple 2x2 rib sock and it's probably my favourite socks ever to wear. Just started a little PetiteKnit Friday Sweater in Hedgehog's Hide (natural sock) for my little boy for fall. He's very excited about orange :). You must be so excited to see such progress on the new studio!

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Oh amazing!!! So interested to hear this! I was thinking 2x2 rib as well, how many stitches did you cast on? I think when I held the natural sock together I think it was maybe around 50…

@daniellesimpson9958 11 месяцев назад

I cast on 52 but then decreased down to 48 about halfway down the leg just to give a bit more room at the top of the sock. 50 would work too i'm sure! I used 3.0mm needles. I used contrasting heels, toes and cuffs but still had 9-10g left of the main at the end so could have maybe done just 2/3 of those. I have a size 7US foot (but i knit them a cm or so longer). @@woollymammothfibres

@carleycaputi3324 11 месяцев назад

Hey Emma, I've been following you for quite some time now and always enjoy knitting along with your podcast/vlogs. Would love to hear an update on your natural sock knitting tips and tricks. I think its been a little while now since you talked about that. Congrats on your new studio progress, I bet you can't wait for it to be finished. Hope you are getting some sunshine! -Carley

@ruthnunezl 11 месяцев назад

Yes, please ! I'm so interested too in those tips ❤

@lindaspencer6547 11 месяцев назад

I’ll add to the voices wanting to know your tips and tricks for knitting socks with no nylon.

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Noted everyone, thanks! I will definitely touch upon it soon!

@jocastaguyon6857 11 месяцев назад

Me too! Would love a video about no nylon sock knitting techniques!!

@claudiapeterson4824 11 месяцев назад

Hey Emma, I enjoy your vlogs so much and all of the yarnie knitting knowledge you share with us! And always like seeing what you have on your needles. That was interesting watching you pull and fold your bread dough. What kind of bread? It looked yummy! Oh my gosh those black berries!!

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Just basic sourdough! Yes the blackberries are amazing this year, the best I’ve ever seen!

@under.eagle.mountain 11 месяцев назад

Ha! Just bought some of your Hearth DK for that very same patchwork cardigan! Going to get a few more colours in the update I think. X

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Oh thank you so much! I’m excited to see how it looks :)

@patriciajosey6686 11 месяцев назад

I do love a Rufus sighting! You have some lovely colours brewing in the dye pots😍

@lesliehamilton6151 11 месяцев назад

So that’s where all the rain has gone. Your garden is beautiful. I would love for you to do a video on knitting socks with non superwash yarn. You have given us a few tips over time, but I haven’t attempted it yet.

@koenigin2 11 месяцев назад

Emma… maybe the only blackberries left were at the roadside because you're not meant to harvest from the roadside?! 😛😂 Haha, love your vlog as always 💜

@PrincessDijon 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma! Please will you share the patchwork sweater pattern you mentioned in your vlog? Also thanks for sharing your bread baking. I’m very invested in your sourdough journey. I have been baking sourdough bread for many years and I just love to see other people’s process and flavor ideas. Cheers from Brooklyn, NY 🙂

@cecilehoare3053 11 месяцев назад

It's crazy how the iron transforms the colours! Beautiful!

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

It is amazing!

@Tisjustme 11 месяцев назад

I absolutely love going on walks and hikes with you and seeing the scenery! Just gorgeous! My late summer plan is to make a pair of dk weight socks using your sock yarn held double. I have a hard time choosing colors but I really can’t wait to make a pair.

@grahammcnicol7468 11 месяцев назад

Really enjoy your vlogs, your new studio is coming on a pace, and it’s great seeing the countryside around you. Thanks for taking the time to record and edit best wishes Frances

@miraremh 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Love your vlogs! Your autumn colors are so beautiful! I would definitely get a kit of them for the heirloom quilt cardigan, if you would consider making one - or even just giving advice about how much of each color might be needed. Your garden and home are so soothing and inspiring to see. Hope you all are doing well and that you had a chance to get a sunny walk in.

@conniesimonich2327 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma, I’d love to see how you knit your socks. Love the colors you just dyed.

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Thanks :)

@monicas1419 11 месяцев назад

I love your garden and can’t wait to see your new studio completed! I have always knit my socks with SW yarns with nylon so I would love a video/tutorial on how to knit them without using yarns with nylon. I’m afraid they will not hold up as well. Your baby girl is getting so big!

@andreacrazy4knitting 11 месяцев назад

So enjoy your vlogs. Can’t wait to see progress on the new studio and would love more info on no nylon socks.

@estherw8838 11 месяцев назад

The garden is looking so great! Always fun to see what you're up to!

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much!

@dianeschnebli692 11 месяцев назад

I’ve used your sock Yan for shawls and sweaters and would be really interested to hear how you knit your socks

@rosemarywhitley4494 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma another lovely inspirational vlog, thank you so much for sharing. Your experience and any tips and ideas for sock knitting would be most welcome, when you have time. Thank you! ❤

@radhikam2401 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for another lovely vlog. Have a wonderful weekend

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching :)

@TheonaYates-qz6hr 11 месяцев назад

Would be very interested in hearing more about knitting socks without nylon.

@intuitknit 11 месяцев назад

What beautiful colours you are making Emma. I love your garden spaces. Just wondering if you grow woad there. I have some in my garden for the first time. Question: can you dry woad for later use? Love your episodes.

@anissam5009 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma, I so enjoy spending some time with you! I just started knitting socks with no nylon so would love to hear what you have learned.

@KnitandGrace 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma, thank you for another lovely vlog! I've actually worked on one of my squares for the Heirloom Quilt Cardigan that you've mentioned while watching today.Cheers!

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Oh fab! I hope you are enjoying knitting on it. I’ll have to consider one properly for myself!

@lokifibercompany3842 11 месяцев назад

I would love to hear about how you knit socks without nylon

@BarbaraColes-fw5mz 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma, It's always such a pleasure watching & listening to your podcasts/vlogs and any sock knitting tips you are able to offer would be really appreciated; I haven't knitted a pair myself so am keen to learn before getting stuck in. With thanks from the Cotswolds 😀

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Hopefully I can be useful to your potential sock knitting endeavours! Thanks for watching!

@emmaofavalon 11 месяцев назад

Just recently got into sock knitting and I'm rrally interested in no-nylon and disheartened by all the comments I see that say 100% wool socks wont last more than a couple of wears. Would love a vlog all about nylon free socks!

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

Definitely not true, I can attest to that! I will have to get on and make this vlog :)

@k_darby 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for another peaceful video! I chuckled as I am also working on the Levitate Wrap right now. A video on the differences in sock knitting with/without nylon would be fascinating. In the US the only sock yarns I have used involve nylon and I hadn't thought you could make hardwearing socks without it.

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

I will definitely plan to do that then :)

@allyinsweatpants 11 месяцев назад

Your videos are always such a pleasure! Which of your yarn bases would you recommend for someone who hasn’t really worked with wool before? ❤

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

I guess the question would be, what would you like to knit/ crochet? Feel free at any time to send me an email and I can advise you!

@PamKnitsToo 11 месяцев назад

I’ve never knit socks before but I’m so interested in learning and making them. I think your Hearth yarn would be great to learn with because it’s heavier. What do you think??

@gaylecmiel8221 11 месяцев назад

Hi Emma, I’d love to know more about your sock yarns without nylon. I’m afraid the heels would wear a hole if I doesn’t have some nylon content….. could be wrong, it’s just what I’m hearing around. I’m a beginner sock knitter! Worcester spun and woolen spun…I have no idea what is the difference, so that would be a great topic for me as well. Do you have some idea how much shipping your Christmas box would be to the US? I’m tempted, but shipping costs can be outrageous! Your approximate idea would be helpful. Love your busy blogs and the bread looks yummy indeed. Happy knitting! Gayle in Minnesota.

The greenhouse is magnificent, is it wooden or aluminium? would you share where it is from? have bought some of your lovely sock wool today x

@woollymammothfibres 9 месяцев назад

It's wooden! It was made by a local joiner in Bushmills :)

@Rachel-rv5ff 11 месяцев назад

a couple of years ago i purchased a yarn from you that was (75%) BFL/ (25%)Masham 4 ply, fingering weight, undyed. do you still sell this yarn? it has honestly been the best yarn i've ever knit with - i held it double to make a shawl. if you don't sell this yarn, is there something you sell that would be comparable? thank you for your time. i so enjoy your knitting content and lovely views of the garden and coast.

@woollymammothfibres 11 месяцев назад

I don’t carry it in stock all the time but I could maybe bring it back for a short time :) glad you liked it!

@Rachel-rv5ff 11 месяцев назад

ok! thank you for responding, emma. @@woollymammothfibres
