I had the most success with long term odor control when I placed the skeins in baking soda and left for over a week. I did wind the yarn before I used it for the shawl I crocheted. The baking soda was difficult to shake out and I had residue that flaked off while winding the yarn. Was a bit of a mess 😊

Hi carolwallace2 This isn’t my pattern, and it was written as a symbol only pattern. I cannot take someone else work and make a tutorial without their consent. Places like Yarnspirations have many written/chart patterns on their site… often there is a YT tutorial that goes along with it. That is how I learned how to understand chart patterns… hope this helps

Thanks for your response. I understand what you mean

😊😊

Ugh factory and weird smells are the worst!

That’s great.

Hi! Yes I absolutely love this pattern too… I don’t think there is a video tutorial.. the pattern is a chart pattern.

This yarn is a hand wash…but how’d the skein/hank hold up? I was afraid of knots, (which it barfed on me while using it for the SisLove Shawl)

No I didn’t have an issue with smell contamination. But the best way was to place baking soda in a Tupperware type container and leave it for two weeks. I shook the container every so often, and I changed the soda after a week. I’ve used the yarn for the SisLove shawl and no funky odor… not as fresh as just bought but manageable, and after the shawl was finished a wool soak and hood as new.. FYI once the yarn returned to room temp the smell returned after freezing…

It’s my style. I like to chitter chat and that’s how I’ll always be. Appreciate the love but I will stay being me.

Hi Susanne. I don’t have any for storage, my clovers are still put into the original packaging with the styrofoam “holder” at the bottom of the packaging. I would consider anything that keeps the hooks from slamming together so they don’t get burrs or rub off finishes.. I know many YTers have patterns/tutorials for making your own hook holders. I have seen some nice cases on Amazon that were hard, zipped shut and had pockets/elastic that hold the hooks in place for approx $12-$20ish.

@@TwistedStitchesShow I didn’t think about potential damage from them shifting against each other. I need to make storage for my double point and straight needles. Guess I should make it for my hooks at the same time. Thanks for your answer. Also, it seems to me what they charge for Clovers there should be a case. If you look at equivalently priced and rated interchangeable needle sets, they all come with a real case.

They’re the best for the budget and the way I crochet. I wish they would make their large hooks using the metal as well. Sometimes the plastic hangs up on stitches…

Still my fav!! 😉

Hi O R just an update: the freezer trick worked but once the yarn warmed up to room temp the smell returned. I had a great outcome by putting yarn in a container with baking soda, I changed it after a week and put fresh soda and let sit for another week. I used this yarn this past year and the smell was almost completely gone, and it allowed me to work the yarn (I made the Half Circle Shawl by SisHomemade) without a horrible smell.

Hi Jennifer Metz. Yeah if I remember correctly it was on the thinner side, but you could always hold two strands together and make a really cool marled effect.. I may try that myself. 😉

I know many do, that would be up to the designers to make that call.😉

Thank you Kath Whit! Happy New Year too!

Hi Brieann. Thank you svm! I made the dress using a T-shirt of hers for comparison, the dress now fits her perfectly. (After a year). I suggest using actual measurements to get a better fit.

@@TwistedStitchesShow that is good to hear. I bet she looks really adorable. Today I finally finished my first one. I won't know how it fits until my recipient sends me some pictures. Many blessings and happy days to you and your family!

Thank you, it came out beautifully. If I can help you with anything with the diagram feel free to leave a message and I’ll see what I can do.

Hi Karen. I think you’ll really have success with the clovers. You can always purchase a single hook in the size you need for your project and give it a try, hope you can get back to crochet soon! 💚

Hi Aleksandra, I love the feel of the yarn, and I do plan on making another top with it in the future, but like you something with a tighter stitch. I didn’t notice any charts for this pattern, I believe the link to the pattern is in my description box.. it’s a very beginner friendly pattern and I love the way it looks, I will make another Sweet Pea top using maybe cotton or Coboo yarn next time.

Sorry to hear of your loss… getting the smells out of yarn is definitely a toughie but I did have “better success” using baking soda in bags/totes for sure. Hope it works well enough to be able to tolerate working with the yarn then after the project is done a good wash . My shawl I made using the “stinky yarn” smells absolutely fine.. thanks for watching! 💚

Thank you so much 😊👋

Thank you so very much.💚

Thank you so much it means the world to me. 🤗💗

@@TwistedStitchesShow sending healing thoughts after your accident,

Thank you Robyn. Hope you have a fantastic week. 💚🤗

Oh I do love the way those Furls look and I have heard really good things about (especially the Odyssey).. I may… buy one in the tiny hook size to see if it helps when working with fingering weight yarn… Have you worked with the Furls a lot? Does it help with hand/wrist fatigue? Thanks Jennifer for sharing! 💚🤗

@@TwistedStitchesShow I think that the furls helps with my speed and fatigue after I got use to using it. It took a couple days. I really like them. The streamline wooden hooks are lighter and have the Susan bates head but I like the odyssey hook head best. It’s a combo between the two styles. It’s heavier tho

Hi April. Thank you for all the thoughtfulness and love.. I’m still working on the same color in the new shawl, but I’m sure it’ll speed up as those stitches increase. We love and miss Peaches something awful and yes all we can do is hope she is being cared for and loved. Thanks you so much 💚🤗. Hope your week is amazing.

Hi Barbara I’m so excited to add the new colors into the shawl to see how these minis work up! The SisLove is the biggest fingering weight shawl I’ve done and I love it! I’m definitely a fan of the thinner weight makes especially living here in FL. Thank you my friend for keeping me in your prayers and thoughts. I am so hopeful for Peaches return. Hope you have an amazing week! 🤗💚

Good morning Hannah Sideris. Hope you think about giving the SisLove another go, if you need any help, reach out. That’s it the Koi yes for sure I see that! Thank you so much for all your support and keeping Peaches in your thoughts! Huge hugs 💚

Hi Wendy, thank you my friend for all your thoughts and prayers! Yes Peaches has been our family since she was 7 weeks old. She will be 7 years Oct 28th. Ryleigh is such a character and once she makes up her mind, there’s no changing it! Lol. 🤗💚. Huge hugs

Hi Karen. Thank you for keeping Peaches in your prayers. I know prayer works and I’m so hopeful for her return. Yes these teeth, ugh, but thankfully these are temps and I’m sure the permanent ones will be way better, tired of glue lol. I love this shawl it’s definitely one of my favorites, and one of the biggest I’ve ever done! Thank you my friend for all your support you’re awesome! I hope to get emails from everyone 💚🤗. Hope you have an amazing week! 💗

Hi Reggie. I love that shawl! She is the biggest I’ve done, especially with fingering weight. Hook color is muy importante! 😝. I knew you’d like those purples! And I felt it fitting for the start of your shawl! Thank you I hope Peaches is returned to us very soon, and for now someone is smothering her with so much love she’s happy and content! 😢. Huge hugs my friend 💚

Thank you Neva 💚🤗

💗💗thank you so much 🤗

Than you 💚

Thank you Tammy, I sure hope so too… and yes a kid would definitely fall in love, she’s sooo good with kids and other animals. Huge hugs 💚🤗

Good morning Evelyn. Yes Ryleigh is a character for sure! Thanks so much my friend. 💚🤗

Hi Karen. Thank you so much for being here and all your support. Huge hugs 💚🤗

Thank you Debbie.💗. 🤗

Thank you so much Dorcas, I pray everyday for her return, safety and that’s she’s being loved. I can’t wait to start using all the colors, and seems like the “Dead Prostitute” colorway is a hit for the next color in line. I hope the rest of your week is amazing my friend 🤗💚

Thank you Theresa so much. Huge hugs & much love back! 🤗💚

Hi Alisa VanRooyen thanks so much! Hope you have a terrific day. 🤗

Hi Paula Latham thank you for your well wishes my friend. I am in love with this shawl, definitely wanting to make some of their other patterns they have. Hope you have a wonderful day 💚🤗

Hi Amanda, thank you… yes it’s been such an emotional roller coaster, you go through your day wishing the phone would ring or one of the posts is really her… it’s less devastating as time goes by, but reminders pop up and the not knowing is so hard, I just can only hope and pray she’s being cared for and loved. When bad thoughts go through my head I just get so mad and sad, and unfortunately feeling angry at my son for his lack of caution because he was in a rush to grab something out of his car just makes me resentful and I hate feeling this way. Thank you my friend for all the prayers. Hope you have a great week! 💚🤗

@@TwistedStitchesShow I Understand to a point! Not the same thing but have gone through a lot of loss Last year and this year and I get how things just pop in your head and its just a flood of emotions! It does get easier but we never forget! I hope your heart starts to heal! Love and hugs!🫂🥰

Thank you I pray that one day, soon, I’ll get that phone call from the registry! I am in love with this shawl, it’s truly one of the biggest shawls I’ve ever made, especially with a fingering weight yarn.. but so worth it, have you made this or any of SisHandmade’s shawls? I’m thinking of making one of their other shawls next! Take care my friend 🤗💚

Hi Donna Cox. Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. I pray she is cared for and loved. She’s such a good girl, and so good with kids and other animals. Take care my friend 💚🤗

Hi Carleta Schwontkowski I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved baby. I’ll keep you in my thoughts too. Oh the dead prostitute color is one of my favs. The orange with the March mystery yarn? Yeah I’m not a huge orange (like the fruit color) myself, but it does match, odd as it seems… it would make fun toes, heels and cuffs on socks I think. I hope you think about giving the shawl a go, I love the way it worked up, it’s a beautiful pattern. Thanks so much for the love my friend. Take care 🤗
