I got 2 old sweaters from our secondhand shop to unravel and boy it was trial and error. Even after struggling I lost a big collar from one of them but still ended up with so much yarn i wasn't even mad. For sure a fun and sustainable way to get some good quality yarn for quite the good price!!

Wow, that sweater was a real find! Last time I was in a thrift store I looked at a bunch of sweaters but none of them had nice seams like that - all had been sewn together and would have resulted in a couple hundred short lengths of yarn. 🙄

@marithecreative 2 года назад

Definitely would love to see the natural dye video!!

@madeinthemoment 2 года назад

I'm so excited to try it out! I got a new camera too so the video quality will be nicer :)

Me too!

@RosiePetals0 Год назад

Omg this is a genius! I’ve been crocheting for months now. This makes so much sense how have I not thought of this. Will defo do this. Esp if I can save A LOT of money with yarns

@madeinthemoment Год назад

Yes I totally recommend! It is a bit of a time intensive process but so rewarding in the end!!!!

@ASquareGranny 6 месяцев назад

We will not discuss nor acknowledge, how many times I’ve watched (& ENJOYED) this video. Just. So. SO. SATISFYING. Seriously.

@jeanstevens2305 Год назад

If it were me and I was going to dye the yarn a solid color, I would have colored it before I unwound it. As for the "ramen effect", the waves and curls greatly reduce after the yarn has spent some time in a wound cake. Sometimes as quickly as overnight.

@allinsonsherratt418 Год назад

That was really useful. I'd use a fine cable needle to help me unpick the seams. I have a beautiful angora jacket that I've never worn (he a ha), & is in a dated style. I had been thinking about cutting it into something else, but I'm hoping it's got those suitable seams. As I've got a lambswool jumper I don't like, I'm going to practice on that first. Thanks for sharing

@kellybryson7754 Год назад

Wow. Very interesting. I have a sweater in mind for this, so thank you for all of the explaining.

@Ma-PaHandmade Год назад

I don’t have a swift so I wrap it around my bent knee! A swift sure would be nice! Great and comprehensive video of the process!

@madeinthemoment Год назад

Yes! Before I had a swift, I used the back of a chair lol

@paadoxal 2 года назад

cool video, thanks!:) have a nice day forgot to say that i'm on a thrift store sweater hunt and i can't find any good ones bit i'm not giving up

@madeinthemoment 2 года назад

it sometimes takes a little time! I just happened to get really lucky with this one :)

@laurelgirard8475 11 месяцев назад

I’ve done that if I haven’t worn them much,or I know I won’t wear them much. I recently moved and had about 20 cardigans I made. I frogged those to make new cardigans until I have $ for yarn. Moving is expensive.

Very informative. Thanks.

@NeneLyonz 6 месяцев назад

how Cool! thanks I loved that video👍👍👍

@emmadacey538 2 года назад

I found you from Instagram I have known how to knit and crochet for years but I’ve never had the attention span to follow through with a project I’m actually crocheting a steering wheel cover right now

@madeinthemoment 2 года назад

I'm so glad! I hope you continue enjoying it :)

@angeknowsit 9 месяцев назад

I kust did this, but it was mistly cuz i didnt like the shawk and also the color of the yarn, im also planning on dying the yarn and upcycling for a christmas present.

@elizabeth4053 Год назад

Thank you!

@juliajs1752 9 месяцев назад

Ugh, dyeing cotton is difficult, might have been better to do it with wool. I'm interested in finding out how that dyeing worked out!

@julesyan Год назад

This is awesome! What swift do you have? Mine never turns as smoothly as this 😢

@aries81dp Год назад

Hi I’m from uk and I bought a cardigan from a charity shop to practice but my crochet chain doesn’t come off so smoothly. I had to cut each V. Where am I going wrong 😩

@sue122 Год назад

Probably too late now, but you should try unraveling from the other end of the seam.

@bella-sx1zt Год назад

came from instagram! this is awesome!!

@madeinthemoment Год назад

aw yay! It's a super fun process!

@hippiepisces9745 11 месяцев назад

The pink mesh you're wearing Is there a video on that

@jaxynnsimons2159 11 месяцев назад

Can you just wash the garment before unwinding it? Or were you just washing the yarn so you could dye it?

@JazzyUrquoise Год назад

Hello, beginner here! I did the same thing with two sweater but the yarn was all “untwisted”. Is there something i didn’t do well?

@snowgirl1939 Год назад

Hello from the UK! 🤗 . I,ve just bought a genuine vintage Aran cardigan to unwind to re-make into a more modern tunic jumper, I,d planned to wash the full cardigan before I unravel it, would that be ok? Or should I do as you,ve done and wash it afterwards? Does it make a difference doing it your way? Eileen Waterfall 🙂

@madeinthemoment Год назад

I often wash it before and after unravelling if it’s thrifted/secondhand! Once before to get it a little cleaner and then after to make sure any dust or things that were trapped in the stitches can be cleaned out!

@snowgirl1939 Год назад

Cheers! Thanks so much for your info. When I remake my new item I,ll send you a pic 👍❤❤🤗 maybe a while! 🤣🤣💖

@hilarycohen1470 11 месяцев назад

In addition to a seam ripper, it seems like, say a small DP knitting needle would be a useful tool in this process.

@alexandra3804 Год назад

Can this process be done without a hanks winder? I only have a cake winder 🙁

@madeinthemoment Год назад

Yes !! If you want to wash the yarn after caking it you can always wind it around a chair to get it into the same shape as a hank :)

@ArtisticInspirations. Год назад

Is there a way to tell the weight of the yard or most of them usually thinner than a worsted weight yarn (4)

@allinsonsherratt418 Год назад

Pinterest has ideas about weighing the yarn to calculate length etc. Might be something similar here on RU-vid too

@illummise8436 9 месяцев назад

Where'd you get the swift?

@helensallee3173 6 месяцев назад

Kiara, I watched the unraveling video and have a question. I have a crocheted garment I am trying to unravel. Natural angora type yarn. But each step is like untying a knot. Nothing just pulls as you show. What am I doing wrong? Any suggestions appreciated.

@eljaycee 2 месяца назад

So I bought a Hank of yarn and it looks like someone else bought it first, didn't know how to untie it, tangled it up then returned it....any suggestions????
