hello and welcome to a yarn story I'm Carmen and I'm Kaye and this is our yarney podcast our yarney whiny something podcast yes uh we are back for season 3 yes very excited to be here I feel like I've forgotten how to do this yeah in the I know we did have a month right it's like five weeks I think five weeks yeah but I was actually reflecting as I was coming down I think this is almost a year till when we when we started started in April I think so too yeah I don't know it was giving me
like deja vu when I was walking down here like I feel like this is the start of something again uh yeah it must have been about this time last year I'd have to look back I think it was I feel like it was April I'm pretty sure it was end of April yeah well it couldn't have been an end because I was still knitting a hat to go to the makers and Mavericks event oh yes I did like I did that in an early episode uh and that was the end of April cuz I'm going to that again this year um
although they're doing it the first weekend of May yeah bank holiday yeah I saw like they're giving away somebody's like they're doing contest someone had a they did have a contest someone won I did it it wasn't me it wasn't me either I already bought a ticket so also to randomly showing up to the makers M why not it's great event yeah I don't have a business you might be thinking about one I don't know um yes it must been like early April I think that we started that sounds about
right well happy one year then yeah yes uh as it's season 3 yep we got new glasses yay new wine glasses I feel like they're very like a kind of glass that I would have had in high school like Middle School I was going to say uni cuz they are plastic this time maybe that makes sense then same time in our lives um I do feel like our so we have actual sponsors this season for our one I'm not sure they're going to appreciate our season plastic glass it's such a like contrast between like their Vibes
and for like Barbie Taylor Swift getting ready for ar oh my God about t for a minute um so yeah new wine glasses um and we have a wine sponsor yes we asked and we we talked about it enough yes exactly the wine gods have shown down on us yes they have um so we're very happy to have wol wines our neighbors here in Walcott Street and our friends yep um and basically the like every like when we were in there a while ago knitting and having a glass I just and watching them interact with other
customers I was like they're like us but wine yeah exactly you get a similar kind of experience when you go to them you learn a little bit you get what you you maybe come in with an idea of what you want but not really sure and then they help you they help curate that for you yeah and I mean they're as word nerdy about wine as we are about yarn yarn and pretty yeah uh thanks Wolf wine mhm and um our first bottle of the season is thet which is a German um not going to show on the camera
it is from Zim it's a kin 2022 or 2020 uh it's p no I love the penor I'm seeing if same yes it finally did it there we go uh it's a cool label actually it was a pretty label okay I'm going to read about the vineyard first um th is a family domain based in Zim in the r hessen and since 2006 it has been run by Kristoff and his brother Johannes uh The Vineyards are managed organically and the domain is being taken in a biodynamic direction we love that uh soils are interesting and varied with
light clay Limestone red Sandy LOM and even flint and schist we we' decided we don't know what that is well we don't know what schist is we know what Flint is and Limestone and Limestone yeah uh and it says the pen nors from Zim are intense swines which possess exceptional fruit definition combined with a richly textured palette a great length of finish and a brilliant Ruby color which we won't be able to see with our classes uh this particular vintage characteristics are reminiscent of
violets and wild red fruits BR Bramble berries I think that's cute there way they've written that and cherries so I assume they wrote that in English rather than in German you weren't just translating on translating it on the spot um but I'd be like wow that's impressive I know I'm a terrible translator of German I really am because I learned them so separately so they exist in separate parts of my bra I feel like my sister-in-law is a bit like that sometimes with French or at least she
was when she was like like newer to the US um but it'll be interesting to see how the babies are with it yeah it's um it's something I've read up on so if you grow up bilingual uh those both those languages exist sort of separately it's not like when you're learning language at school and you do flash cards like yeah you know glasses whatever it is in spish there you go that's Italian not Spanish but you know it's um it's a terrible example cuz that's glass in I wonder how that got into the
English language oh well I actually on that note of languages I actually um saw this really cool Tik Tok where it's actually I think a YouTube video that's been made into a Tik Tok um and it's like this linguist who has done a bunch of research on like um how um Accents in the UK have changed like versus the North and the South and he's actually like then performed them so he's like spoken at like a Yorkshire person talking to a southerner like a Londoner um and like been in conversation about
things as that that has changed like from like the 1400s down to present day so it's really interesting I feel like I've seen that YouTube um because Danny is quite in LS and uh I bet he is cuz I think it is supposed to be like an amazing Channel like yeah and uh We've def had conversations about the I'm G to get this wrong the roor r the I don't know it's the way we pronounce our RS and that's like a major distinguishing Factor roic there we go thank you I
think it's a big thing like even in the states of like in Boston for instance like park park the car and hav yard kind of thing that I think is the video I watched like guy was talking about how that came from England and how that has moved over to America and how that's changed over time and which dialects in the states are most similar to like dialects here it's really interesting yeah it also would be really interesting actually to like do a video where they
were like I really want to hear the sound of American English like really early on you know like in the 1809s or something um because they I've heard something where they've said like um American English Today is actually closer to how British English was during that time oh or something like that so yeah it'd be interesting to see how close even American English is over there we start recording audio well I think that's the thing I think some of our earliest audio
recordings are from like the turn of the century right um maybe a little bit like 1880s kind of times but they're really badly like they're really like quite rare I think now um that was from another podcast I will learn that we've been uh watching and reading things in our break anyway let's try the wine Cheers Cheers oh that smells nice you can really taste the fruit yeah I'd say actually it's a lot fruer than I think some other pan NOS that I've had yes definitely
um like it almost tastes like there's like some strawberries in there like really light fruit yeah it has like a a light end to it yeah exactly like it starts the full body PE and then it sort of ends yeah really light and like almost like with a little like Fruity Zing at the end yesh it's very nice though yes it is very at my alley mhm yes it's going to be very drinkable and I think too actually the body of it quite good it's not like super lightweight no it's like kind of like a
medium body yeah so on the internet too it said that it was um good as like an aief oh okay uh on its own or with chicken it said yeah it's actually really good for this weather yeah it is um I really like a p Noir when the weather changes like I like a cab or even a or something a bit heavier more fulled in Winter cuz it feels like you can be like really cozy with it and it's like really warming but I like to move to p p no is probably one of my favorite grapes yeah of all
time I we might need to start counting how many times Kaye says this is her favorite great I get very excited about P people need to like recommend me like I bet my uncle he would like be able to recommend me loads of wine that I will like based off of this that aren't okay I think it's just like my limited wine knowledge I'm like yep I know like that's dependable like I'll go for it well I think we're going to learn some stuff this season yes I think so it'll
be fun I'm quite excited for that yes yes same um so what have what have you done in your spring break basically my spring break well um I found a wedding venue that's exciting yep um so Sam and I are getting married on the 14th of July 2025 do you want to announce that to everybody yeah okay I mean why not I mean none of you show up to my wedding but just out I mean and maybe that will change who knows the drama also I have in my head when I just said that um one of Taylor's new songs
is like uh what is it called it's um but daddy I love him and it's like you're not invited to the wedding and I was like yeah yeah that just popped into my head that's what I I love that lyrics from her new album are already in our heads cuz they're in mine too it's been like what not even 48 hours I think exactly yes so we're getting married at a small venue in bath I won't tell you which one no stalking the wedding yeah exactly um but I'm the reason I was actually announcing the
because I like that it's bestie day so my grandfather when I told him he was like I guess we can't have any french royalty there otherwise they getting their heads chopped off I was like okay I sure and then when I told my friend Nicole apparently she told her fiance and he was like oh thank God I've been worrying like that we wouldn't have any plans for besti day he's American too so so people are like really into this theme I feel like that's what it has like French
Revolution needs to be like the theme if I costumes now get started on your wigs you know oh my goodness I like don't even have my Taylor Swift outfit sort of yet no I definitely can't be oh my okay well I look forward to it as long as I'm invited yes you are you are don't you worry I feel like I've been like sending um loads of like electronic save the dates like WhatsApp text and stuff like that um to people that s's like why do we need to send them postcards now I'm like it's just a thing we
do then it's official like on printed something it's official in WhatsApp I don't know you could go H actually it's going to be a week after but no it is it's all signed and dotted and almost paid that's very exciting yeah it's very exciting so that's a big weight off my shoulders I've also been working my thesis excellent um which is really good I had a supervision with my um two supervisors the other day and they're like super happy with my work that I've
done so like that was a huge relief big weight off my shoulders um and I still have like quite a lot to do but I feel like I've gotten like a win and that's motivating so yeah y so I was doing that earlier today for instance and feel like I have a good balance with it now fantastic which is good but how about you what have you been up to what have I been up to um I think since we last spoke I've been to a trade show I did or was our last episode before or after the
last knitting Retreat I don't remember we had knit Retreat March we weren't filming in March no we weren't were we uh so we knitting retreat at a business retreat um doing a lot of work behind the scenes for things that hang on I need to look at a calendar and see if I can mention it because of when this sodas being released mhm yes yes I can announce what we've been working on yay that's really exciting uh so behind the scenes we have been working on uh a very exciting new Retreat
MH um we are hosting our first Retreat here in bath woo yes so it's going to lots of people have been asking for one yes lot we' had a lot of requests for a retreat and bath so we knew if we were going to one in this city it had to be very bath like we wanted to bring the best of the city and all of the things that we love about it um and all the things that make it historically interesting and wonderful uh and inspiring and beautiful into the retreat uh and there's really only one venue for
that in my opinion and that is the Royal Crescent Hotel yep where the uh featherington family lives in Bridgton yes yes they do um I'm your Bridgton guide don't worry we got that sorted to so yes um we are hosting a luxury treat in bath and it's going to be the Royal Cent Hotel it's going to be in March 2025 Y and it's amazing it's going to be amazing and I mean also too I was when you told us about this and then you told me what Beverly how Beverly decided the wine oh yeah and I was like Jesus
like this's a big wine package like y all going to be drunk well you know we just like budgeting is very important for large uh events like this and so we just we like to be want to make sure that we're able to be generous like I don't want to be sitting there being like nobody that person's had like an extra glass of wine right like that isn't how you no everybody wants to be like able to relax and do what they want to do um so all the details are on the events Unwound uh
page uh you can read them there um but yes so this is actually our first Public Public Announcement um about it yeah it was sent to I think previous retreaters yeah previous retreaters and those on our Retreat mailing list so if you um want extra special access to things like this in the future definitely get on that mailing list or if you do come to the retreat you'll be put on it you will be put on it yes and you'll hear before people who just listen to the podcast
yeah we love you too but yeah we just uh and you can be one of them one of them one of them so yeah that's been a big that's been taking up quite a bit of time in the background and that's a huge piece of work you guys should be really proud of it and yeah we're very excited um we have a lot of like little things planned in it Erica Knight is teaching that's amazing yeah I think that was one of the things that like um was really important to get right to because we had been like talking about
like who could be like our kind of um big name kind of teacher right to like you know draw people in but also give people an opportunity to meet a designer that they really admire and respect and learn from um and I think that we had discussed like well and and you were saying like I really want it to be somebody British um like there's no point people coming to bath and then being taught by like you know somebody not from here like represent the states or yeah exactly um not to say that that
doesn't have a place at other Retreats this is just what we wanted to do um I I really feel like I want to present like The Best of British nting in this and what's more British than erican knite not a lot yeah she's so amazing and I'm really really excited that we get to work with her um Amanda's going to teach as well yep I mean amones is amazing too yes you will have met her on the podcast um she's also very British and uh fantastic and has the most amazing
Stories yes she does uh and Anton from the W raw wool company will also be um presenting SL teing yeah he's got just amazing amazing knowledge about the um well about the industry but specifically about like all the nerdy stuff about the will Super nerdy like in the best way um so those are the things that I can tell you about now there are lots of there'll be like lots of little surprises uh that we'll yeah yeah we don't I'm really looking forward to it we don't want to
give away like everything we're doing yeah we like to Del I feel like I need to take this week off the retreat like I'm not officially like doing anything at it I don't think unless Carmen hasn't told me but you know I'll be there I'll be like floating in the background snapping pictures um yes that's been a huge project um I did some sleeping you know oh yeah stff having a bit of a break from lots of well I had plenty of activities but like from this regular activity which was nice and then the
other thing is I've been working on a talk I'm giving at yeah I thought it was rengen house but I heard someone this morning pronounce it renen oh really I always thought it was regen but there's an n in there isn't there yeah so I don't actually I'm not sure but I'm giving a talk on May 9th um at rangan house here in B which has the best name ever this talk I haven't memorized [Laughter] but it feels like it would be like a title of a Taylor Swift track thanks I will take that as a massive
compliment and no it isn't just like I'm going to talk about all of my exes I talk about my ex jobs yeah there you go um yes it's it's business related yeah so uh yeah you can come join us in bath for that on May 9th um we'll put a link to the tickets for that Y is there going to be like Ling thing yeah so it's um I haven't been to one of these before but Beverly's been to a couple so you get a glass prco and there's like opportunity to like chat and uh the talk
series is called herspace it's all like oh that's really cool female entrepreneurs business peeps oh I should go to some of these yeah well go to yours but I should go to some of the other ones too I think um yeah so just been gearing up and then yeah that's probably a enough of a list of what I've up to in the break I feel like this is like the segment where we just chat and catch up than like do anything else I think people like that though yeah exactly um I've read a
couple books too oh that's impressive business e books but still but yeah still reading it is and it's probably well it's two more books than I would have read by this time like last year I'm trying to like get back into reading actual books i' spent a few years when I started the business like not reading anything just just busy all the time yeah time or head space um and I quite enjoy reading so yeah I think it like gives you the space to like let your mind wander and like think creatively
reading for sure and I think part of it is sometimes I'm like read or knit read like I can't do both I have that issue I'm not really into audio books at all and I definitely am not in any way the person who can like read a physical book and it at the same time so o um speaking of things to do while knitting um have you seen full swing on Netflix mm- so it's like the golf PGA kind of um oh I did see the trailer I it's really good I mean Sam and I watched first season we
like it's just really really good um but that follows the whole like PGA live golf kind of like divide on the first season and then second season is obviously beyond that because they announced last year live golf and PGA are now like merging okay after all the drama so it's like drama fest too love it but I know you like Golf and I know that like golf I love a documentary type thing too I watched I finally watched the Beckham oh did that was so good isn't it really good um I've actually
always been a fan of theirs I always kind of felt like I shouldn't be for some reason like I wasn't supposed to be but I well they had all that really negative media I mean which they talk about in the um and I think like David just used to be like such a shy person um and like yeah I mean you just see this like all the time I mean another one of Taylor Swift's new songs where she's talking about the media just being like all in her freaking face all the time and like not
able to live in normal life as a result of it yeah um I mean I think his story like what he accomplished is just that much more remarkable for how poorly he was treated yeah definitely for that era was wild yeah wild wild it's like the Britney documentary yes which also yeah just made me feel a whole bunch of ways yeah because you also do like think back to your own your old self being like Oh I was totally caught up in this absolutely like I was I was well into you know the
drama of and like hating on people like for like not even like consciously just being like Oh that's just the opinion to be had like there is no really other opinion I mean I'm a late Swifty and I definitely bought into like she's this annoying little girl I was definitely um somebody who was like more on the Kim Kan side of the of the table then on the um Taylor side and it wasn't like a big like thing for me like obviously like they're just celebrities I didn't think
about it like that much right um but I was definitely like oh yeah Taylor is just like making this up like a whiny girl wh a whiny white girl yep um in particular um and like the thing was to like have those views at the time well yeah and they fed into was so 2014 I would have been working in my first like office job um which was the Princeton Review and it was a really like casual funny place to work yeah um and we were all about pop culture we would have been
having like conversations about this and like you know making fun of whomever yeah exactly whereas I feel like at least now today like we've still got like loads of problems I mean I think too like you look at like some of the Taylor Swift like fan accounts and you're just like my God like calm down like yes like Jesus like stop going after like all of her ex-boyfriends like they're like the worst people from from that have ever existed or whatever absolutely like I I read this Reddit
post about like that was I mean everybody knows that well not everybody probably but everybody knows that I'm a big Joe alwin fan um I love Joe um I also don't know anything about him like you've said that a few times and I've actually gone on the internet like trying to find things about him because like I I'm not a fan of his friend no good reason right exactly I have no no basis for this at all whereas like I'm like less impressed with Travis Kel and I have no basis for that I'm like see I
I just think they're like the best on the internet right now whereas I'm like is he the one though maybe that has some that says something about like our preferences our preferences yeah exactly and I think that is it like I can see loads of just like superficial similarities between like Joe and Sam who like to be like these reserved private people um but then also like I'm somebody who likes to be more public and likes to like I'm not Taylor Swift don't worry I'm not saying I'm Taylor
Swift but what I am saying is like I kind of like related to that of like oh like I get that dynamic in relationship and how you have to negotiate it and you have to be like you have to have a partner then who like supports who you are and isn't afraid of that like and I think like Sam does a really good job of that whereas I don't know what Joe did but doesn't seem like it job he did a great job according to the music but I sympathize I think with the dynamic I
think and then also too I think what it beautifully captures is how and we see this like a lot in relationship and I think it's like a core defining fact of what it means to be in relationship with somebody is you know you need different things at different parts of your life and to be in a long-term relationship with somebody and to be committed to them in that way means making that constant choice to always pick them and prioritize them even if it goes contrary
to what maybe like you expected or what you thought the plan was going to be but then also knowing when you can't do that anymore when you can't compromise that and when you need to move on like that's I think the beauty of at least the kind of world that we live in now is that we have at least the opportunity and the ability to make those choices without shame definitely um and so like for me I'm like you know what if Joe was like healing for her in some ways and it's
not anymore like good for her that she's moved on yeah yeah absolutely she I mean she seems she seems really happy in uh the yeah Tik toks and that's what that's what matters like seems really happy what the hell do I know like I don't know anything um I love this okay before we turn into okay we will tlor we will stay at Taylor stft podcast for a few more minutes while we discuss the album The Torture poets Department which came out yeah very recently Y and I have
really enjoyed so far I've really enjoyed it too mhm I always like on my first listen of every single one of her albums I'm like well this isn't anything oh um so I'm like kind of listener I'm like um not really impressed but then I keep listening and keep listening and keep listening and I think that also speaks to her songwriting ability and how that carries so much of her work it's like the the music is great the poppy is like catchy and stuff like that but it's really the the songwriting and
her Artistry her Pro her poetry there that I think is what grips at least me yeah and like pulls me in and keeps bringing me back over and over and again and then I learned how to I learn how to then appreciate M the music as well so that's my like review I mean yeah I think lyrically speaking um she's just on point on this whole album like I I feel myself reaching for my English degree yeah skills and like dissecting it as if I was back in like a poetry class um which I'm quite enjoying
and yeah it's got more of a Midnight's Vibe or like a uh is it Evermore the one that she like a little bit chill but it's also it's produced by the guy from the national which makes sense which is a band I really like yeah I mean it's very like melodic like almost like some people have said like every track sounds the same and I like completely appreciate and like get that but then this is the thing like when you go back to it and also like then you start noticing like the ones that stick
in your head and actually they aren't like if you listen to for instance um but daddy I loved him on its own without like listening to the rest of the album you'd be like actually that's not that slow of a song it's actually quite a like a belter um and it reminds me a lot of Like Love Story well it's funny when you walked in a minute ago I was watching a Tik Tok of a guy I follow who's a huge fan he was like belting that to his husband he was like really annoyed that's like dnamic it sounds
like it wasn't Max and Vinson no no no no no no um I actually don't know his name is he's like a realtor in New York I don't know how I found him but um um yeah he was like belting it out like it was yeah like a a banger whereas yeah in the middle of everything else it feels feels CH yeah and I I think like like I think they are quite a lot of songs on there where if actually you listen to them less as a listen through on the album they are like Standalone really good songs um and I think that's
what she does on a lot of her albums like they're not necessarily like Evermore and folklore I think we're like very much like we're going to tell you a story here um whereas I feel like Midnight's is a bit like that too I feel like when I first started listening to midnights I was like I was not impressed with lavender Hayes at first is not like into it at all and now it's probably like one of my favorite albums um and same thing with folklore and Evermore when they came out I was
like she's trying to be a folk artist now well I mean this is what I remember too I didn't like her at first cuz she was country and I just was like I hate country I'm the I mean don't ask me why um and yeah I mean I think like that's that's an interesting point there too I was the exact same way I mean it's probably very classist of us yes and like and yeah that's what that's what I was going to say I was like I think it's you in the north you have this thing of like
anybody listen to country or bu of like uh poor redneck uneducated people which is totally not true is very very far from true but I feel like growing up like that was like like I just remember people being like you can't say y'all because that means that you're uneducated whereas now I say it all the freaking time yeah well and in Oregon um country listeners were like super conservative and because we have like the rodeo we have plenty of like sort of like
outdoorsy like ranch style like the West right like that there is plenty of like country music fans um but yeah where I grew up was like hippie town right so country music just kind of like was the antithesis of that somehow yeah yeah and so I just had an irrational dislike for and I think that that was still that was like very much me for a long time too I still kind of feel like that like I feel like that's one of those like implicit biases I have that I have to actively work against
yeah except for like love Shia Twain yes freaking love Shia Twain I alsoo love um I love Johnny Cash I love Patty uh what's her name what's her freaking name boots are made for walking that person Parton no no no I love Dolly Parton though too like um yeah I'm like obsessed with Beyonce's new album oh yeah that's really good as well I love like all of the classic country music yeah so I don't really know and then actually a friend of mine my best friend in school she went off to
Montana for University and she sent me a mixtape of country songs um cuz you know this was like back before you could easily burn CDs uh maybe it was a CD I don't know anyways like a mixed tape of country songs and I was like but I loved the whole thing like had like gu Brooks and it had all these other country artists that I would never have thought to listen to enjoy mixtape so what the [ __ ] do I know but I think that is like um like interesting I mean I talked about this
in my thesis too about these like narratives that we construct that then guide our behaviors and um like some of them are really hard to get rid of um and I think also too we like have strong associations with music too based off of like the people we are around at the time when that music comes in and we associate music with the people who introduced it to us or who we at the time like like it was I've seen this um Tik Tok where like people have been like I'm in a very happy married secure like
healthy relationship but this weekend I'm in a breakup I don't find it a super break upy album though actually well some of them are though yeah but like not in the same way as some for other albums yeah cuz I think there's a lot of like happy yeah yeah there are and like well I think like that's the thing like some people were expecting like this to just be like oh because she says like it's a postmortem of the relationships that she's been in over like the last two
years but what a postmortem like like means is not just like oh I'm going to sing about like how sad I am it's about like what happened in that relationship and there are happy moments and there like she appreciates the complexity of relationship and that's what makes her song So relatable and her album so relatable is that you know there are moments in a relationship and she says this so beautifully in so many of her tracks of you're fighting with yourself of do I
keep fighting in this like do I keep trying to make it work do I like what is good and like understanding that that is an hugely important part of a happy healthy relationship is continually going back and choosing that person and forgiving and negotiating and and doing all of those things and she captures that beautifully in her music but then all these lovely lovely um happy moments but then there are really horribly sad yes ones and you know the guilt that you
feel but also the the sadness that you feel when you make a decision that you need to move on and I think she captures that in quite a lot of the songs like love of my life um is really that's why I I love that song it's a good song yeah but I really like I'm going to get you back it's one of my favorit think I've clocked that one properly yet yeah have a few listens and it's you're going to want your English degree for that one okay I'm going to forget I I'm not
great with like remembering song titles um this is definitely not my forte in any way shape or song uh nope not that one but I um I can do it with broken heart oh yeah I love that I think that's a really brilliant song cuz I I imagine almost everybody can relate whatever whatever reason your heart was broken but like having to just continue yeah make it happen because that's the option that's the only option right exactly I think especially too for anybody who like is in a business like
you or in an industry where like or or a job where like basically you don't your job doesn't happen without you yeah if you don't show up then nothing happens nothing happens yeah like it's all on you yeah where yeah and that um yes I found that very relatable yeah okay we are now turning into a with podcast so we're going to go back to some knitting um you brought some whips you said yes I did I am wearing one can you believe no it's not a whip no sorry not a whip sorry a finish an Foo we're
so out of practice I don't know what anything's called anymore no I don't have any okay I've got my socks but I they're an fo from like two years ago ushi I I I see that Al Kayla has some super cute shoes on I do she's got a whole um I've got a whole like she's got a whole vibe Vibe today I don't know you're going able to see her feet but uh I've got my um cardigan on from high school this is my school uniform in high school um I said to Kay when she came in I was like oh it's like I like the

mhm she I think is like a sponsor Ambassador I think she works for them maybe as a model um yeah I think new just bought a pair of shoes from them as well like the yeah the leather is amazing I mean the craftsmanship is amazing they're just like traditionally handmade shoes um like good English quality shoes um so they're hoping for them to last for years you know that they're good too because um good leather quality cuz leather is quite should be quite stiff
if you want it to last for a long time and it is but it's also like you can tell it's getting more flexible as I'm wearing them and they really then will like form to my shoe love it yeah maybe we should get links as a spor i about to say re-advertising uh so that's your fo so I am wearing my Stockholm um vest by petite nits which I started when I went to Iceland last year should have been done really quickly didn't take enough yarn with me on the trip um and what was
the yarn that you used this is isar tweed and mohare okay so I think it's the wine Tweed with uh the really neon pink oh nice um really is like that perfect mesh then between the two of them is like it um and like when I look down there's little Flex of like green blue and red and what um the one thing I would say is so she it's a peits pattern she asks you to pick up like an absurd number of stitches under the arm sorry peaches is asking for pets here um and I
didn't do that uh I picked up like a third maybe but I've still picked up too many like it's doing a little puckering there mine does that as well yeah Amanda said basically I picked up too many stitches and I could go back and but I'm probably not going to yeah yeah uh but I really like the fabric it's made it's it's warm but notating I really like yours I think I think yours fits better than mine's like oversized like the way that she like intended the ease yeah um
and I think the that's like that's the thing of um cuz some people have said this to me about her patterns is like you have to be stick thin to like show them off the way that you do and you don't have to be stick thin you can make them fit you however you want to and also I think it like that doesn't look bad to me it's just a different look um right but I think like some of hers because she EX she does them so oversized um that the if you're doing them not with not as much ease or you
want it with not as much ease then you need to consider that when you're making a different size right and so like okay the oversized look might be really like that might be really good for the oversized look having like a crap ton of stitches cuz then it will drape really nicely right um but if you're not going for that if you're not for theed look then maybe actually adjust that Stitch qu Stitch count yeah sorry peaches is being over here I mean peaches peaches
gets what she wants she really does um and then the other thing I finished I haven't shown off either of these on social media either or anywhere uh is the leapling O that's exciting in um our next level colorway from spin cycle in plump I made sort sleeved uh the drama of the needles I I mean it would fit slightly better had I knit it on the right siiz needles but it's fine it's cute um I really like the fabric though yeah I like the fabric as well I did like a round of decreases when I got
under the bus like on the waist just to like bring it in a little bit how did you do were they just like standard decreases or did you do short rows no I can do short rows because of the yeah I tried short rows that did not work with the kind of stripy nature of this I ended up with these weird wedges it's not good um but yeah it's cute Andy um and I'm very happy with it and we have Next Level back in stock so yay if you want to make one you can too it looks super super super cute I love that
too yeah I really enjoy that it finished on this like yellow and pink bind off um such a nice feature yeah and I didn't have to manipulate that at all love it yeah well actually that brings us maybe to our to your whip well to to the to the um philosophical interlude oh a philosophical interv and um that was a project that you had a lot of like frustration with right not because of the pattern necessarily just because of the knitting Mojo well it was supposed
to be a quick knit and then it was not mhm and at the time I think that like was a pattern yes so what I wanted to talk about was like knitting Mojo I feel like recently for me um my knitting Mojo has been a bit off and I was you know I feel like part of that is because like I'm uninspired by the things that I'm knitting but at the same time I'm I actually really like the things that I'm knitting like I want to wear them I want to finish them I like the yarn I'm using
I want all of those things I like like all of those things and I want to do it but I just seem like everything seems to be taking forever and I'm getting frustrated and then I'm think oh what I need to do then is like start a new project because I'm in a funk or something so now I've ended up with like six whips and I'm like stressing out about it welcome to my world that's basically where I spent all of last year in that cor so I feel like I really need to like finish something
um so I'll show you my whips cuz I did bring some of them I didn't bring all of them I actually thought about bringing all of them and I was like I don't want to carry all of this that's fair um so this is my first whip is it like even have you started it it's a theoretical wh okay I me I have a few of those so I'm actually doing the SAR cow SAR vest Cow by Alex bird um and this is my yarn for it and I haven't started it because I need to wind them and I have like a million other
whips that are stressing me out and I said I wouldn't start this until i' finish the Press flowers um but I really need to start it I feel like I did not say that but I also haven't started my sest yet um so this is Opus Evergreen and spin cycle D the wool in um The Meadows um green on green yes very green on green I thought it would be really nice for spring also transition to fall too yeah so that's one W you're going to wind that before you leave yeah okay great this is my
second whip which is the um press flowers oh you finished your sleeve yay so I finished sleeve um y I also really also green on green yeah I need to BL different greens so I'm using North Sea and isar Tweed with spin cycle died in the wool in light years yeah um I love the sort of like really fresh lime green yeah bits here but I also really like this dark strip here I feel like I really like how that was in the body actually because there is some of that in the other skin that you've used for
the sleeves but I feel like I don't know I feel like it would have been a little bit too much to have it in the sleeves as well whereas like it also wouldn't have looked as good if it was higher up the body ex I think that's right um it has come out strategically well yeah exactly um I have to say though my yarn quantities are way off like I have so much yarn left like so I calculated that I think this needed four skes of spin cycle mhm and like they'll use two six six SKS of
Tweed because they're 50 grams um so I think that's right I think I got six and I have two no three full balls of visar tweet wow left and I am like halfway through my third one I like don't know what the hell my gauge is fine too I just I like sometimes this happens to me with Opus too like Opus goes so far yeah um and I don't know maybe it's like the stretch in it or something or who knows right we haven't quite figured that out I don't have an explanation but we have I mean
this is feedback we've had actually fairly consistently on a few patterns mhm the last couple is like the quantity it says that you need is off like off by quite a bit yeah yeah so like I guess that's like just something that we learn right as we go and like I I always say like it's better to have too much than too little and like I can just use like the the bits that I have but I also have I have like half a ball of three spin Cycles left oh wow so like that's I've used like one
and a half SK so I'm like which which has been good actually because then I can like make my sleeves match and so you're doing yourn man like spin I but not really like because I'm actually I'm only picking from like I'm not cutting it in between right I'm picking from the either the center or the end but I guess I also too selected four skines that were actually really similar so like where they are in like where the colors are in each of the SK is actually really
similar so like I've been able like so like the ball that I used up for this it started with that mint and then the other one that I have that is also like a half SK that also starts with the mint and like goes to that so I've been lucky or like when I picked them I guess I did a good job picking them yeah um it was probably all from the same bag or something um yeah even then that doesn't always yeah uh I also have my pressed flowers nice which I haven't worked on I
love your I haven't seen this in person have you not um I'm not really any further because I was getting like really sore forearms and I think it's cuz this is quite heavy on the needles it's a lot of stitches a lot of stitches yeah uh so I took a little break from this but this is mine what size are you doing the four I think okay I'm doing the two yeah I mean it is a big piece of fabric yeah it is so pretty though yeah I'm very pleased with it I've got the
iser spiny would love to do this as the shaw with levitate um dyed in the wool which is like pinks and purples and this is actually such a good I mean you'll want to wear it like once you finish it because like my God that's a lot of stitches yeah but it will be really good one to have in the shop because it really shows what the spinny feels like when you feel that spinny on that SK you're like ooh really scratchy really itchy not nice but it's just it's going to be so nice when I
block it like it's this is this to me like yes it's like rougher but it's not itchy like it's not got that like Pokey itchy bit right and also too get like so much of your oils yeah so I have one more flour repeat to finish before I can split um and I'm sticking with a fairly cropped version cuz I just can't do any more flower reps uh but yeah I sort of paused this cuz I was getting really sore I love that though gorgeous colors so what colors again this is uh spinny 101 with um DED in the wool
levitate and yeah it's like teal with pinks and purples yeah y um it's gorgeous thank you we don't have any levitate do we uh we do not currently have any levitate I mean it's on order yeah well it went like in a minute yeah when we got it in um cuz it is an amazing do have Next Level back in though which a lot of people used for this and theirs all look amazing like some used it one would be really good with uh one one would be really good nabe it looks really good with a white
cream actually now that we have dream state back in I really want to do warp and weft finally yes talking about that it's a pattern by Jesse May yes uh ligh house with um just like that would be gorgeous yeah yep so I actually think the light house that I'm currently missing but that will be back in May and yeah I will have it I also have enough things to do okay so that was your second whip what else do you have for me oh funny I have the same whip well so is at knit night um this is
the bath like open knit night to like anybody um it's like not associated with any particular shop um just people getting together um and I brought my um pressed flowers but I had the wrong needles for the um for the sleeves sleeves um so and I actually didn't have the peach is getting attention the window you hearing people in the background but um I didn't have the right needles but I did have a crap ton of spin cycle and the right needles to cast on [ __ ] so I was like okay I'll
just use my ends I love it really I really like it um so I'm using ends that actually I used in my um original shift here which is LEF Salty Dog and Rosie Maple but I'm actually combining them with ends from the uh shiftan Cal last year which was rusted rainbow it was either rusted rainbow or stay out of the forest but I'm pretty sure it was rusted rainbow because I don't see any blues in this um so it's Ruster rainbow with um Every Rose so it's super autumnal yeah like warm tones yeah it's
like very much Kaye cow yeah cow cow um yellows Reds greens and then bright idea as well so like all all six of those are actually in this right now most of it is actually um so like the background up to like probably 2/3 way through the first like section MH that's the background color is Rusted rainbow and then I actually go into M end bit of um Rosie Maple um cuz I thought those would go well and then I brought in salty dog is the contrast color and I think
that's every rose actually it's this this screen for a bit y it might be actually yeah that's Rosie Maple there that actually might be and then I think the contrast here is where I start bright idea but this is the section you were messing last night so I'm thinking about ripping out the green because I've actually run out of it mhm but I do have yeah do you want to hold that oh yeah I can hold this I'm not being a very good assistant no no that's fine so I have so basically I messaged Carmen
and Susan last night and I was like what do I do um because I have another skin of rested rainbow that I think I got because I was worried I was gonna run out of rusted rainbow for the cow yeah um so yeah so I so I I have this one in my stash but this one has like and this one actually has some really nice yellows in it too so it could take the place of some of the Salty Dog yeah cuz I've also run out of Salty Dog Okay um and but I also have this left over from
my Tesla which is stay out of the forest which has a nice little red Center to it and it goes it like goes from red to orange to purples to like a teal and a brownie teal and green teal kind of thing you must be at the you must about this must be the widest point yeah yes so after this section you start decreasing again so I'm thinking rip back the green yeah and use the red bit first mhm of the stay out of the uh of um not stay out of the forest um Shad of
the earth um use that because then that will transition really nicely um and then use the green as like a contrast and maybe use some of the um uh what's it called uh bright idea with it as well depending rather than cake this so just keep it a pretty ready background yeah I think like I really like some of Susan's where she has like the background pretty like whereas this one is clear like these are the three colors she you I used and I really like that but this being my
second one yeah I think it would be nice to have like one that's like almost all the same color only your second one yeah it's only my second one yeah okay yeah these my noodles those they they flew out of something I think they're yours yeah oh it's probably because I have no it's yeah so I think that's the plan okay let me know in the comments if you disagree and you think I should use this instead no no don't that up yeah I can use that for something else a full schem
whereas I've got like I mean at least I'm using up my ends but like some of these ends are pathetic like yeah Stripes you know yeah you can do another use purple it's pretty I do have this red here I think that's Rosy Maple that is Rosie Maple yeah well I also have a sh and this is I cast this on when next level came in because I also wanted to copy Susan yeah and make a Oh no you're fine um a completely Next Level shift cowl oo I love that your gauge is so much
different from mine I know I've noticed that on like both our um uh what's it called um press flowers and our shifts yeah uh so you're so much tighter than me which is weird yeah I'm pretty sure I'm on gauge though yeah uh so I've just uh started decreasing uh but this is three schemes of Next Level that I'm using and I have been doing some yarn management because I've had to rip back a couple sections that were just too syy I kept this one actually that from a distance you really
can't tell the difference but I like I actually think it's really pretty and it flows very nicely so yeah I feel like when you're using Color like the same colors you kind of need a little bit of that too like it plays together nicely um so I basically I picked three sort of extremes like a really coraly color a more past this was actually my really blue skin that I've used lots of already um but I know this is my blue skin what the hell is this one I don't know the P
one right yeah this is the Pasty one oh yeah it is um yeah so the socks that I've been knitting um they are done in actually our snowdonia sock garor snow sock right behind me yeah possibly yep snowdonia sock we might even have the color uh which is an absolutely stunning oh we have the color but no name yarn 75% Romy 25% hean oh wait no it's not even the right color G certified and what color am I doing it in I do not know the answer to that it is fig which is not I was
expecting a Welsh name that I couldn't pronounce but it's big you were prepared to not pronounce the name right and yeah this is the Hermione sock um my mom has knit me quite a few of these um it's got one of our favorite heels it does so this is that's where I Did It For the First Time yep in the Hermione sock y so this is the of the Partridge heel and why we really like it is basically it's like one row slip stitch one row just like plain knit right back and forth um
and so it like makes a really thick um basically heel yeah well it kind of it's offset too so like honeycomb so I don't know if you'll be especially because of how dark the wool is but you can kind of actually see it yeah it's definitely my favorite heel also please do not look at my nails everyone oh my goodness I need to get them done next week so anyway um so yeah it's a really pretty heel but it also make it does make it really thick like feel that yeah that's good
and I need that though like I go through the heel of all my socks like I go through my like cotton socks that way too I'm wearing a pair of cotton socks with a Mas with a Mas Cole yeah it's like insane for me peaches is getting so much attention yeah it's still light out now cuz you know it's summer time and um so she standing in the doorway of the shop and everybody's like oh the prettiest girl and she is but yes um but anyway so I'm really excited for those to be done
and then I can wear them with my cool new shoes but it is becoming summer so that's okay yeah I mean it doesn't feel like summer outside no no it's like a really nice like chill and then feels like September is I mean the outfit yeah I also feel like I'm dressed for September exact I mean I was actually when I was um getting ready I was like debating I was like all of my outfits that I want to wear are like fall out outfits like going back to school outfits
yeah well I also I was like well I need to wear one of my new Foos I like it is definitely too warm yeah for the leapling in chunky yeah um and I prefer this over my white gloss but it was not ironed and I wasn't ironing it I the nice thing about wo though is that it is like pretty regulating like you know like if you need it to be warm it will warm you right but if you need it to be a bit breathable it will to a point it still W it is still yeah and like the
heavier yeah and I mean the leafling is quite dense yeah yeah so yeah but um even today I was doing some gardening and it was like really windy and I had on um Amanda's well basically the cardigan that I stole which one is that so one the yeah that's where that is you need to bring that back in I know the thing is is that so my excuse is that like we so what even before I took it there were two buttons missing and so like we need to like put new buttons on
it so I'm like we should do that I would like to take that one to uh Toronto actually so it it's like an amazing sweater it's a really good sweater it's a like I'm obsessed with it and like I treat it like it is my own but I did also too just wash it um so that it could go on on the road okay you washed it and then you gardened didn't yeah is what you're telling I didn't take it I didn't take it off um because I was like yeah this was readable for a minute like
but like now I'm moving a lot I really need to take it off and I was in the Sun at that point whereas before when I did put it on I was just sitting in the garden yeah like yeah perfect sweater for this time of year yeah it is quite nice it's made out of Opus so it it's very lovely it's a um yeah I'd like highly recommend anybody making it like I need to make one so I don't have to steal this one anymore yep but you can tell it's been worn by a lot of people though at this point like the the
underarms are felted at this point oh poor underarms well it doesn't look bad though I mean the the um like that's one of actually the nice things about it is like um the Stitch work on it like basically the pattern um like you can't tell it's felted at all my stripes uh which didn't totally weave in the ends under the arms but doesn't matter cuz they felted too yeah cuz I was tanked up underneath it right exactly I mean that's the thing with Cardigans in general the underarms do
tend to felt it's not like yeah that's unexpected no um but you do want a pattern that is bit forgiving of it yes absolutely yeah I mean no one's walking around like this like hey look at the underarm of my sweat that'd be weird but yeah just warning you you might need another sample I'll knit it for you in my knitting Mojo era oh my goodness oh my goodness okay well so that's all the whips we have another segment though now we do it's a what's in the shop what's in the shop
what what no isn't it lessons we do last segment okay we we're trying to like try out this segment thing so that so organized so we're more organized because as you all know uh we never really have a plan but now we do have a plan there's a spreadsheet there's a spread sheet what's in the shop then yarn we're obsessed About Yarn we're obsessed about yeah um cuz there's more than this there definitely is more than this but this is kind of like new arrivals things we're
still obsessed with y um and I've put it all in this lovely hideen Hammer basket which whereas if you come into the shop and you're shopping with us you get to use yeah so they're just little shopping baskets for the shop um right so we have two Yarns in here both fluffy which seems like it should be wintry but they're super special special they have a super power they do uh so this is snuff nug from Camaros which you have probably heard us talk about before
um especially if you're like newsletter subscriber we love this yarn uh actually you will maybe want to grab that sample that's behind you there um so snuff nug which means snowflake in Danish in case you're wondering is 55% baby alpaca 35% organic cotton and 10% fine Marino wool so because of the cotton in this yarn it is Fluffy but not as warm as it looks like it isn't necessarily just a winter Yarn yeah yeah um is it the cotton core right yeah it's cotton core whereas
what's blown around it is Marino and ala it's so we have this um Seline Jumper by Ann ventel um so Susan actually made a an adult version in a similar color way but using different Yarns um this is in snuff nug um and is a child size probably is this a it's a three maybe three yeah is that a three I feel like three are bigger than that maybe it's probably a two or three a two or three yeah yeah um anyway um but it's actually it's a really good kids yarn because of the cotton in it um
so as we know most kids for some reason have these like temperature regulation issues where they are either ridiculously hot or ridiculously cold and you can't ever figure out what they what's up to until they're complaining about it yeah um but this is really good for that because it does have the marina which is also temperature regulating and the cotton which makes it like and it's super soft so a lot of kids find mooh hair a little bit Pokey yeah um but this
is like super soft it's like a snowflake peaches we're still recording the podcast so you can stop growling thank you um it comes in some lovely bright colors like this is jelly bean green uh it has um hind bear I'm guessing is a raspberry it's got a lot of Pinks actually it has a lot of Pinks um and then we also got the nure in so these are all undyed so if you're like a what is it sad sad beige baby s sad beige baby this one here is n Brun I don't know what that translates to but it's a
lovely like caramelly color n Brun probably NE natural brown maybe yeah I'm going to call it caramel um yeah we have a whole range of that um we've actually restocked it a couple times recently uh they they didn't have a lot of it last year like they were out of stock so we didn't have a lot of it but they've restocked and now we're getting it in and then the second yarn is brand new to us do you want to talk about it because neither of us know anything about it really I feel like you
know more about it than I doad in Germany yeah exactly so this is a yarn that Carmen um found when she was in Germany at um H&H in Cologne um and we we I mean every time we go to H&H we do go and see isar we love seeing them um and seeing their samples I mean like their samples are like phenomenal we always like fall in love and they're like I'm going to knit all of those things like I still have actually yarn and patterns from H&H last year where I'm like years ago yeah oh yeah two
years ago that I still need to knit which is stressing me out but you know's knitting's not stressful come on right but anyway this is really new um and this is called isar Soft yep um it's replacing their ecosoft oh is it replacing it well it's the same yarn but they're ecosoft only had natural colors now they're doing dyed colors so it's just called Soft mhm we have some of the EOS soft still right uh no we had like one ball oh do we okay yeah we used to carry the ecosoft because when we were
at um loan the year that I went um we really loved the samples in that and so we were like yeah we definitely need to get that but it only did come in Naturals but now they have some of the colors which is really nice you just got in and another reason that we're talking about it now is because it also it has 44% organic cotton and 56% alpaca yes this one doesn't have any wool in it uh it's about it doesn't feel as thick or look as thick but I do believe it knits
to about same game it has a really nice I mean show this orange up to it because you can really see the core shining through it yeah um so it will create a really lovely kind of um not speckled but like textured um lookat col it won't be flat so that's basically the cotton not dying the same way the does so this is 50 g to 125 M this one it's 50 g to 110 M yeah so I think this is probably like I would call this an eron and this worsted yeah I think this can be like one of those ones like so on
some patterns you see like um a designer holding a fingering weight with a mohare and um they'll call that a DK yeah like this would actually I think go quite nicely with a lot of those um but equally I think it could also be with a sport weight yeah and a um mohir you could also use that for as well yeah I think like a a wor a DK worsted um so they've got the bright orange they have color 58 which is a pale yellow which is really lovely for spring um and then we have color 10
which is like a really nice kind of like minty but going towards the Bluer side of mint um oh it's yeah it's definitely like a Bluey Bluey mint rather than greeny mint yeah and then this is color 100 which is their Navy I really like this one because of the core I think it makes it um very interesting there's some other colors I didn't bring them all over here yeah so that is what's new yeah in the shop and we're excited about those yep I really want to use um I
still haven't used the snuff dog so I really want to use the snuff dog on something I've got the badger and blue on the go which I'm knitting for Amanda instead of myself oh really yeah why because I bought the women's version of pattern and it like it does fit me but it fits me with negative ease and I just don't think that's and Amanda was like no one ever knits me a sweater I bet that would fit me and I was like yeah probably would so I'm going to finish it off and
then Amanda gets and Amanda get sweater lessons and knitting lessons and knitting right so this week we are going to talk to you about a question we get in the shop all of the time I've put this in another hide and Hammer bag uh we get asked all the time why yarn is in skem or Hanks uh because we will wind your ski or Hank into a ball for you or a cake yeah and a lot of um new Knitters um have made the mistake um myself being one of them I think once but I'm a unique case because I have a
mother who is like no yeah mhm and made me like basically Han her yarn uh or SC sorry not SC her yarn uh ball up her yarn with her um I mean so these are all schemes um we will put you cannot knit off of them yes so that's that's what we're saying is a lot of newbie knits will try to knit just from the skin um and you need to ball it up um otherwise you'll end up in a like tangly mess yeah so this is I would say like 80% of the YN in our shop comes in SK so you have
commercial SK which are super neat mhm and tidy and are done mostly on a machine with like a little bit of manual hand help um and then you have hand dyed Yarns which are also like beautifully skined don't get me wrong uh and I want to show off the shly Brian because these are quite special she's dyed them and reskined them into two perfectly matching 5050 G this colorway by the way is with a little bit of mascara and Tequila Anything is Possible Oh my God I like this one making me want
to go for margarita I know right uhi also in a SK yeah so we get asked all of the time why why they come in schemes especially because you have to like put in the effort of putting them into a bowl yeah so just because we're doing lessons now uh so those are all skem this these are donuts mhm so this is fonty it comes in a donut shape um this is knitting for Olive pure silk it also comes in a dut I think the reason it's called that is fairly obvious there's a
hole in the middle looks like a donut yep yeah we hate these well shops hate these because they are storage nightmare they are they're display and storage nightmares uh this is the knitting for all of cashmir so cute a lot of the time if you've actually so for instance like our Trio from isgar was a storage and display nightmare it looks really good in our like display case that we have at the front of the shop but um over time with handling and bringing the balls out
yep sometimes like the strands come out of the like little strip that holds them in and so like they look Messier it's not to say like anything's wrong with it at all it just looks looks Messier um and because well I'll explain in a second and then these are balls yeah these are also called balls um so those are sort of the three so the balls too are like almost like the cylindrical looking things where like there's a whole in the middle of the cylinder um it's actually like a lot of the time
when people come in asking for cotton yarn they expect it to look like this yes this happens to be cotton but this is wool um actually this is alpaca this is Eco baby and we used to have um yaku which a lot of people Mook for cotton because of the size because of the shape and the shape y yeah um it's funny the like the things we associate in our heads with things so we get asked all the time I used to say I used to have a three-fold answer to this I now have a
four-fold answer I only had a onefold answer oh what was your onefold answer my onefold answer is that it stores better okay yes that is one of my folds so so it like it decreases the amount of yarn that is wrapped around it creating less friction and that's why it stores better well it's easier to display like this we can hang it up and then you can see the skin very pretty on the shelves you can see that with um fluff behind us yes um also you see this a lot in the
spin cycle actually we which is actually we always have to tell people with the spin cycle at least I do in the shop is okay you're not getting a skin and a lot of the skin of spin cycle you're not getting a ski of spin cycle where you can see all those colors all the time yeah like it's not a hand dyed like dappled no kind of it's a gradient it's a gradient and so like you have to think when you look at it I see all this colors imagine it shifting from one to
the other and that's spin cycle whereas with uh ushi or you can see yeah you can see more of the color on it um so one it displays better see fluff behind me um two it's an extra process turning it into a ball so especially for hand Dyers but even for the commercial Yarns like this fiber company combria fingering here that's an extra process in the production which would add cost mm especially for the hand Dyers like they would need actual Machinery to turn it
into a bowl right um so that's two of my folds what's my normal third one uh I mean it Maes better that's for sure but my new fourth fold old reason uh which I learned I kind of knew this but I had it explained to me very thoroughly by Anton from the raw wool company is that this is the least amount of tension on the fibers for storage purposes so you have this is the fibers are really relaxed in this state of being uh whereas in a bowl or a dut or a cake they are under more
tension meaning that the fibers over time like and I'm talking a lot of time okay will not be as elastic as they are if you leave them like you can leave them like this for a very long time yeah yeah yeah so I think that goes into the like theory behind the reason I gave you at the beginning which I just like didn't know like my my thing was like it stores better yeah and like for a long periods of time like but I don't know why yes like I don't know why so it's
really good to know it's because it's under less tension um which is also why if you are buying skin of yarn you don't want to cake them up until you're ready to use them it is not great to store which always said to people but if anybody challenged me the shop being like why I'd be like I don't know yeah it's bad for the fibers like if you stored it in a cake for years um probably like three I don't know I always assumed it was like attraction of mods too I mean that's also it right but
it um well it's not like directly the attraction to Mo but like the mo can bury into it and like really establish themselves whereas like typically if you have a sked one with Moos they sit on top yes yeah very true peaches you're going to really have to stop that thank you um yes so that is your lesson and knitting for this episode of the podcast yeah we hope you very uh informative I think yeah um and also too I really want some of that raw wool um so those are all our segments I
