Spring Vlog | Using unspun yarn for the first time! 

Loving all the neutral tones of your makes 😻 lovely vlog. Always find your vlogs so relaxing to watch ☺️

hello from NW Iceland -- i'm new to your channel (and just ordered some yarn!), thanks to a link from Ailbiona -- and unspun yarns are the BEST, so glad you've discovered them! and count me amongst all the people who really love that Seaweed color... just extraordinary. beautiful work!

I do love that Dropp sweater - so lovely. I was looking through some old yarn that my mother gave me ages ago and discovered that I too have some unspun yarn. Wow! Maybe I can make something from it! As always, thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to March 30th and seeing the new items in your shop!

Ahhh I need to start my seeds too! Thanks for the reminder, lol.

I love all of the things that you make. Both of your sweaters are stunning. I especially love your, The first sweater. Not sure that I would enjoy the thicker sleeves. I am fine with the shape of them, it's the fisherman's rib that concerns me. I get pretty hot, quite quickly. 😄

Hey, a little tip for doing a tubular bind of with unspun yarn is to spin the yarn a bit (I usually do it by hand). When knitting with two strands you can spin each strand lightly in one direction (for example clockwise) and they ply them together in the other direction (counterclockwise). By doing that you will make the yarn much more sturdy and able to be used for a sewn bind off. It takes some time but it is so worth it.❤

Love your sweaters 😍

Welcome to the love of unspun yarn! I tried Nutiden and now it’s my very favourite thing to knit with. Your sweater looks lovely. And you are absolutely right about the colour of the Nutiden. The depth of their blends is so lovely.

Love your Nutiden jumper - I've knit a Nightly in Nutiden and its wonderful to wear, so light and warm. Re tubular bindoff - yes I love it on one by one rib but dont really think it's worth the effort on two by two - converting is such a hassle and worse with Nutiden I suspect - and it doesn;t look as nice as the one by one. Just my opinion. Yay for us loose Knitters, knitting w unspun easier for us xx

Omg your Dropp looks sooooooo gorgeous on you!!! I’m so inspired to knit this pattern too 🧶🥰

Emma I found that it was impossible to get a nice bind off with unspun yarn (even if you pre-spin it or pre-felt it) so I bought a skein of Jamison and Smith in a very similar color and I held the J+S together with one strand of unspun to do a tubular bind off and that worked much better, looked smoother and was strong.... might want to try that.

Would it work for mittens too? Oh the yarn you did beret in. Lol

Lovely to catch up with UR makes,,,, Love UR sweater,,,!,! Spring is coming slow here,,,still got lots of snow,!!! Elaine ⚘⚘

I always look forward to your videos. They’re always so calming and full of beautiful inspiration! 😌

Hi, Emma. I love your The First Sweater by Hive Knits. The new sweater WIP is looking great… I love the colour… it suits you. I like the colours of the yarn that you showed.

Love the colour of your unspun yarn! I think Ruth of Ruth loves to knit would love the description 'Donkey Brown' Thanks for an interesting Vlog.

Just heard your question of gardners corner in an old episode 😂

I love your new sweater! It’s very ‘cool girl’, I think the style suits you well and great to hear it fits under a coat ok 💗

It's so wonderful! Spring has sprung! Your First Sweater really looks great, the yarn has an authentic deep roots vibe about it. The new limited edition dark grey also look naturally vibrant and would most likely go well with many garments. It's great to see the comparison between the two different shades of dark grey.

This was the perfect way to start my morning! Catch up soon!!😊

I love your sweaters-

thank you! lucky folks getting the seaweed hearth dk - itis beautiful!

I just knit a pair of sock in a brown like that and I love them. Our color palettes are the same, I also love rustic wool.

I love that Dropp sweater! Well, don't I love all of Albiona's patterns? Would be so much better if I lived nearer you two and didn't have to faff with post and such.

That drop and color are just beautiful on you.

Emma, your sweaters are beautiful as is your yarn...

Such beautiful yarns! I'm currently working on the Miles Shirt Jacket in another unspun yarn (manchelopi) and really wanted to do a tubular cast off, but after about 10 or so stitches I pulled it out (difficult, yes) and just did a regular old bind off, which in unspun doesn't look so bad. The sewn bind offs are just too hard with unspun yarn because of the breakage and I don't spin so didn't have a way to spin my unspun. Rearranging 2x2 rib for the tubular bind off always does that because one is sort of doing a mini cable, but maybe the trick is to always do it on the wrong side of the fabric. Thanks for the podcast!

Hi Emma, Suzanne Bryan is considered a master knitter by TKGA. She has a few videos that maybe helpful with your tubular BO. She has three comparisons for invisible BO, one which is the tubular. Also, there is a video showing BO in the round without a jog. Have fun learning more! www.youtube.com/@SuzanneBryan/search?query=Tubular%20BO%202x2%20rib%20in%20the%20round

How clever to spin the nutiden for the bind off! 😮 💡 Shame it still didn’t cooperate 🤨

I’m fairly certain Andrea Mowry (of course) has a tutorial for the 2 x 2 rib tubular bind off!

Hi Emma if you dont mind may i know many plates you use in your size. I have only 3 plates i would love to knit that dropp sweater...thank you in advance..
