#patons classic wool
Text
So i’ve perfected my personal sock recipe.
I tried something out with smaller needles for the toe area and reinforcing the ball of the foot with a slip stitch and I LOVE how it turned out.
They’re sooo comfy, warm, and a little supportive. It’s only taken knitting like… 15 pairs of socks to get to this point??
Yarns are Patons Classic Wool Worsted in Brown Mustard and Dark Gray Mix.

Crochet Texting Fair Isle Fingerless Gloves
One of the best Crochet Fingerless Gloves I have ever crocheted. These fingerless gloves have fair isle techniques involved. Dropping and adding yarn colour strategically to create a simplistic design into the glove.
Both gloves are the exact same pattern. There is no right or left version.
Due to the size of…

paton's classic wool worsted is such a good yarn and it kinda rots me that paton's is seemingly made by by yarnspirations just like just about everything else that i don't have to go online to buy because most yarnspirations yarns are either straight up acrylic or they're called something like WOOL-feel™ and you check the label expecting a bit of wool and it's like, 58% acrylic, 29% polyester, 6% asbestos, 6% recycled polyester, and 1% teflon. man you made such a good wool yarn with paton's classic wool worsted why did you have to stop there
#rubia speaks#knitting#crocheting#knit#crochet#yarn#wool#yarnspirations#their patterns are nice though. thanks for the patterns. i'm not making it in acrylic though sorry#paton's classic wool worsted#yarn crafts#yarn arts

I went to Michael's yesterday to explore (and bc I haven't been there in 2-3 years) and the yarn selection is Abysmal,, 90% of the stock is now Loops & Threads and there was barely any Patons yarn in stock :1
#patons yarn has def gotten shittier w time but I bought some sock yarn anyway#the store in general felt emptier than before like there was less stock#and they got rid of the cashiers!! there was only one and the self-checkout booths were buggy and slow#zeke speaks#I was gonna check out the paton's classic wool worsted and...it feels so cheap and the colours look bad#I'd much rather get briggs & little regal which is less expensive feels like actual wool and is produced in canada

Huh, upon cursory search everyone talking about black bean dye talks about dyeing cotton yarn even though cellulose-based fibers have a reputation for being trickier to dye. I think I forgot the extent to which animal fibers are foreign to a general audience...
#to be clear this is not a dig#it was something i experienced#'tis hard to find protein fibers at your average craft store. though felting has made unspun protein fibers more common#with the caveat that you can find a few wool blends and maybe some 100% superwash wool#and one brand of feltable singles (paton's classic <3)#but i've been so immersed in the animal fiber world of late that i forgot that people don't use it#because 'tis actually hard to find and thus more inaccessible to a general audience#though i must say. if you've got alum lying around and aren't pickling then i'm surprised you're not reaching for protein fibers#but maybe it's the reputation for uncomfortable fabric or the cheapness of cotton#(should not be so cheap with how resource-intensive it is to grow and process it imo)#anyways i have a dedicated dye pot now and can use mordants without worrying about poisoning the cooking pots

I made a sweater vest. I think I'm a vest person after all, just not a snug preppy vest person or like a tailored vest person.
Pattern is the Highland Slipover by Ozetta

I have about 10” done of the classic cabled sweater. I’m using KnitPicks Simply Wool Worsted in “Winnie”and it’s so pretty! It’s hard to get a good picture because even in person it can look so different depending on lighting. I’d say it’s mostly gray with some warm beige tones in the heather that come out more in some lights. I also think this sweater is coming out the right size to fit me well, and I’m really excited about it!
(Pattern is “Patons Honeycomb Aran”)

I went camping this weekend and one of my goals was to knock out these boot cuffs on the trip. I finished the second one 30 minutes before we reached our campsite so mission accomplished! I can't wait for fall so the weather will cool down and I can wear these out!

Yarn: Patons Classic Wool Worsted in Gray Mix

would you consider making a list of your favorite online yarn shops/sources? i've been mostly sticking to knit picks and places like that and would like to branch out a bit
of course! i must say i love knitpicks and spent nearly eight years knitting their stuff almost exclusively! though i will say that as i have branched out in the hobby my tastes have gotten more expensive.
one brand i like that is not too far out of the knitpicks price range and is a bit trendier is weareknitters! their the pima cotton and the petite wool have 9000 ravelry projects between them. i made two sweaters in their yarn last winter and really loved them! i also recommend their kits to friends who are interested in learning to knit, they do a great job of teaching you the basics and getting something cute out of it.
other than that, i am lucky to have two local yarn stores that i love and will browse in person from time to time. that gives me a chance to experience the yarn not through a screen, which is immensely helpful if you can swing it. doing that is how i've started to find brands that i love working with and will seek out again. recent ones i've enjoyed, ranked from standard to fancy:
grandma's classic yarn store brands
berocco or paton's: perfect Gift Yarn: sturdy, consistent, easy care
rowan yarns: i made the same tanktop twice in their dk cotton this summer, and i really love their vintage patten magazines which are pretty easy to find online or at used book stores
>$20 skein highbrow picks
malabrigo: really fabulous colors, dense, warm yarns that look great at all gauges
shibuiknits and madelinetosh: fancy fine yarns for perfectionist garments
indie dyers
qing fibre and superglō fiber: two women who are insanely talented with bright colors, mostly pastel and neon respectively. i have yarn from both stashed for projects in my queue.
mezzo.makes: kate is a truly gifted hand-dyer and specializes in cohesive, vibrant color medleys. i bought sweater quantities of the ophelia color from her shakespeare collection for myself as a birthday gift and am really excited to use it!!

I got new yarn and promptly vanished. Whoops.
I've been trying to keep up with amigurumay on Instagram but it's been tricky! I have had a very spread out deadline these past few weeks and it limits my time a little more than I care for.
Anyway, here's some of my current stuff!
I have a link to my yarn unbagging on my ko-fi page if anyone likes those kinds of things 😁

Frosted Fair Isle Hat
The Frosted Fair Isle Knit Hat has me over the moon with joy! Omg, the pleasure I felt in completing this hat was enormous.
I took this pattern on holiday with me. I got to Belize and pulled out the yarn and pattern to realize I should have had four colours, not three.
So I made due as I wasn’t going to let that stop me. So my hat is the…

what are the chances that the colours of yarn i want to work with would be available a) near me and b) in a fibre that does not feel like hell on earth to knit with
#rubia speaks#knitting#i used to knit with any yarn i could find for cheap#now i am much more pathetic and if i don't use wool or an extremely soft velvet-type yarn the it feels bad on my hands#i was hoping to find more patons classic worsted nearby#but the fabric store has limited types and the craft store does too#and neither of them carry both the colours i would like to get for this project
