I love ya’ll! 💕 🇺🇸I always learn so much valuable information from your videos. As a continental knitter, I am striving to kick my habit of twisting the yarn twice around my index finger and hold it properly as Arne teaches in the tensioning video, but it’s very hard to learn a new way of tensioning. For yarn choices, I agree that an acrylic blend is better than 100%. I find that some acrylic is just as fuzzy as say, alpaca or mohair and can get in your eyes and if you wear contact lenses, this is a painful experience! Even when I wear my glasses, the fibers upset my eyes when knitting or crocheting with cheap acrylics. If acrylics are all you can afford, that’s fine, but try to find ones that are made well and always buy within your budget to make a project...100% cashmere socks -not my idea of true luxury but a cashmere scarf is, even if it’s a blend because I know that the person who made it put a lot of love into the gift along with the cashmere. Cheers, Jenn

I love using different fiber types for different projects though it can be interesting to make a poject several times with different fibers, you learn a lot by doing that! For most projects I use wool or merino, sometimes in blends. I just bought merino yarn from an Austrian company with the advertising slogan of "the soft gold from Austria" - who can resist that? The closest I came to using pure Alpaca was a Sandnes sock yarn with 70% Alpaca/30% Nylon. I wouldn't use those socks in my every day winter boots and the yarn does pill but the socks are incredibly soft. My feet stay warm and don't care about pilling ;)

I am having the same issue with acrylic yarn, the ones I have tried seem to be so loosely woven. I tried a fairly priced 30% merino in the Womens Institute brand and it was so much easier and more pleasant to knit with. I have ordered some acrylic in that brand to see if it is just a problem with the brand of acrylic I tried before, or if it is all acrylics.I hope it goes well, but that merino blend was a joy to use, around £7 per ball, and i made a narrow (15 stitches wide on large needles, around 10mm or maybe slightly bigger) scarf from it :) please let me know if you find a good acrylic brand :)

Thank you so much for this information. I've watched quite a few yarn reviews, but they're mostly about (American) brands and not about the components that are used. And I live in the Netherlands so I want to buy a little closer to home. What I like best is what you told about the behaviour and the coarseness of the different types of wool. The itching of some woollen garments drove me crazy as a child. No matter what we did: steam it, freeze it, bathe it in lanolin. Because of that I never dared to wear any woollen garments and I always stuck to acrylics. I'm confident enough now to give wool a try again, and on top of that: make it myself.

This is an incredibly useful video. I wish I had this information when I started knitting as a hobby about 13 years ago. I was tempted by the sumptuous caramel colour of some home spun alpaca. I had no idea what to do with it so when two more shades of ivory and light green became available I thought would do some fair isle with it. Thankfully I didn't get around to knitting with it. I was going to do a Lisa Richardson gingham style sweater from Rowan Magazine 69 with the yarn, which you advise doesn't work well. Your video has saved me a whole lot of heartache!

Great video. Thanks for the information. The only thing you got wrong is saying bamboo is a tree, it's actually a grass, but you're right in saying that viscose is made from pulp like the pulp from bamboo. Thank you, Gentlemen, for always teaching us something new!

Obviously a lot of research, experience and knowledge went into this program. Thank you so much, from now on I will be more selective what yarns not to combine in my treasure pile of leftover yarns. So now I wonder what to do with my 10 balls of white, yummy 100% cashmere.

So Good advice. I really like alpaca because it is so soft and I have quite a bit of pure baby alpaca yarn. Know I now that won't use it for fair isle.

Your advice is invaluable and for me very timely; I have alpaca yarn and was thinking of using it for a fair isle toque. I`m so glad I watched this.

Hi Arne and Carlos- thank you for explaining how to choose yarn for projects. I see that we have to balance the durability with softness and itch factor. Can you please explain 4 ply and 2 ply and what they mean and their function?

soo neaty knitting , the number of ply is the number of little "strings" twisted together to make the yarn. if you slightly untwist it you can count how many "strings" / ply in it.
