just a note... the amount of light hitting your stash will fade out the colors over time (even a few months). You may want to put a uv filter over the window glass or a curtain over your shelf!
I am so happy to see Manos del Uruguay on your list! My husband is from Uruguay (we live in Chicago, USA) and I learned that Manos del Uruguay is a fantastic rural development program that helps women-owned small business owners grow their flocks and make a living off the land. Plus the yarns are gorgeous!
That's so cool! They've got a special spot in my heart because one of their yarns was my first time buying something nice from an indie yarn shop rather than craft store yarn on sale
I'm so impressed how chilled your cats are with alle the yarn. My cats go crazy around organic fibers especially Alpaca yarn. With viscose and cotton I have no problem but everything else they want to hunt xD
My cat completely ignores my yarn for some reason 😆 I was super scared at first because of all the scary stories I heard, but he's more interested in the needles than anything else 🤡 alpaca does tickle his curiosity a bit though, but nothing too crazy.
Thanks so much for your videos, very inspiring and motivating. I am currently making the sweater you are wearing in this particular video. I’m a new knitter and so I’m making it with an inexpensive baby yarn and if it turns out I will buy some (maybe) Merino and pair it with Mohair. PS. I’m from Canada. My friend purchased your book and we are sharing it… lovely book. I love the way it’s laid out.
What a wonderful video. A joy to watch you and see all of those beautiful yarns! I have a question regarding keeping yarns on open shelves. Do you worry about moths or other insects invading your wool fibers when you leave them on an open shelf? I'd love to do that but I'm concerned about the little buggies that sometime infiltrate my yarn stash.
Also tons of dust. I think she said she keeps them in big plastic boxes so she might have put them on those shelves just for us to see them in a more aesthetic way for the video? 😇
Well I am from Finland too, and never had any moths/other uninvited guests in my flat... :D Not saying it could not happen, of course it could, but maybe it is not as common here as in some other climates?
omg I was so excited to see you mentioning retrosaria rosa pomar!! I live in Lisbon and I was so proud that a local shop turnout out to have one of your favourites :) I'll be sure to go there and check the yarn you mentioned! thank you for the amazing work
Who doesn’t need motivation to organize their stash?!?!? Thank you! I’m going to work on mine today! It’s a rainy day here in Little Rock, AR so I’m not tempted to do something outside - and you have helped inspire me to get it done! Love your channel 😘
Do you worry about moths at all with the yarns being out in the open? I found a tiny infestation in one of my baskets of wool yarns so have put in place damage control (FREEZER) and have bagged up everything new that comes into the house.. but wondering if you have tips?
You will love Mad Tosh Pashmina. The original owners sold the business a few years ago, it’s now owned by Jimmy Beans Wool ( online retailer in US started by some Silicon Valley programmers). The transition was a little rocky, dying quality wasn’t the same but it seems like they are on a better footing now. Sometimes the Merino Light sheds die, flecks of color fall out of the knitted garment (quite a bit actually).
where can I get your book ( s ) in USA ? I don't do PayPal ( or ANYTHING that uses a credit card on the computer. I checked with BARNS & NOBLES, book store here in Tulsa, Oklahoma, but they don't have your books. ANY suggestions. ALSO, I'm allergic to AMYTHING with wool in it. any recommendation ? so far I knit with cotton I'm a beginner knitter.❤️
Fabulous video. Really love the way you've arranged all your yarn. So nice and inspiring to see some of the projects you're working on. I can't wait for your book to be out.
You have inspired me to get my yarns organized,, my yarns are mostly in a dresser and bins ,,,, I love your videos and I am looking forward to your book,,, Its nice that you have youtube because Im not an instagrammer yet :).. The Sunday brunch sweater is beautiful! Have a wonderful day!!
You really make me wanna knit again. I just bought the Japanese knitting book you recommended in your wedding dress video I got both, guess in the meantime a no 2 book came out. And I actually knitted one blouse before summer out of the Filcolana yarns the arwetta and tilia one string of each, it’s so soft and warm despite the short sleeves.Love that the offer the same color codes across their line!
I really love your shelf. It looks great. ❤ I have a bit of a practical question: do you do anything to prevent moths eating your beautiful yarns and sweaters? I would like to store my sweaters and yarn more visibly like you, but I'm afraid moths will just feast on everything like they always did...🙄
Hi, she lives in Finland and cloth eating moths aren’t really very common in Finland anymore. They can’t survive outdoors here, and indoors the central heating and resulting dry indoor air have made them pretty rare, and if they appear you can get rid of them pretty efficiently and stop their spread.
I discovered your channel when your wedding dress video popped up on my recommended list. I watched it and thought I need to dust off my needles and get knitting again. I used to knit daily but then began painting and kind of got away from knitting. Then during COVID I took up playing the harp. I am self taught although now take zoom lessons. I am also a flutist. So I keep very busy. But I began binge watching your videos and enjoy them very much. I am sitting here knitting up the Sunday Brunch sweater in an Italian yarn, Berroco Campus in a pretty tweed like purple color. It is a kind of thick thin chunky yarn. It is kind of like riding a bike. It all came flooding back to me and I’m more than half way done with one side in a few hours. I cannot wait for your book to come out. Do you have a title for your book yet? Or a release date? Will it be sold on Amazon?
You are such a joy to watch and your way of seeing life is inspiring. I was watching an old video of yours where you talk about living before discovering photography being on UA-cam etc. I guess I’m there, right now. That period of limbo before finding a way out. I hope you shine bright always like you do, and many blessings come your way
Hi Kika! I’ve started knitting a scarf with Cascade 220. It feels quite scratchy and just wondering if this will improve when it gets soaked and blocked? Thanks😊
Hi! My expreience has definitely been that it softens when you soak and wash it, I'd recommend to use some wool detergent when you soak it as that will make it even softer :) I've even once tried using hair conditioner as I read somewhere that that can soften up knitted fabrics, could also be worth a try :)
I'm surprised that your cat doesn't steal the yarn that is out in the open like that. I have to keep all my yarn in zippered curtain bags to keep it safe from my cats and all the cat hair and dust in the air. I would love to be able to organize my huge yarn stash.
Ah, I really need to organize my yarn stash better, too :) I'm partial to cotton & other plant fibers (viscose, bamboo etc), I don't really like wool much, I admit, I find them itchy & uncomfortable, for the most part ;)
Thank you Kika, this was fun and informative! Would you be able to do a video on fixing finished knitting projects, that you're not happy with? For example, I knit a mohair sweater, that is all baggy and boring, but I can't unravel it, cause, mohair. It would be great to get some ideas on what to do with these kinds of projects!
Ooooh I see the Hjortsvang rug in your room. I was thinking about getting it. But I hesitate, because I'm nit sure about the cleaning. Can you just vacuum it? I also worry about the dog hairs...
Just to mention, it's "on the shelf" rather than "in the shelf". 😊. Also, a small tutorial video on crochet basics will be most appreciated 👍. I've always been a knitter, and crochet has always been something I've wanted to do, but I've always avoided - talk about irony. Lol
I'm curious how much they are in Finland? Because I think they are expensive here in texas where they are made. They are $30 in Texas for those that are wondering
Love the variety and how the yarn looks on the shelves. I believe I have the same bookcase but with glass doors since I also have to worry about cats :) thanks for sharing and can’t wait for your book!
Isn’t the yarn going to become light bleached from being bathed in the sun all day? I always thought storing yarn next to the window was not recommended.
Hey Kika, I love your Videos and start with you fotographing. A few months ago, I startet knitting - just 2 weeks later I saw your Video about knitting. I was just like "Hooooraaaaayyyy"! Thank you so much, I knittet the Sunday-Brunch-Swetter twice and looking forward to your Book. The last weeks I heard about mulesing and about the oecological effects of low budget yarns. So I was thinking about animal- and Eco-friendly yarn. I really hope that you create some sweaters in sustainable yarn in your book too, or will represent some of them. Thank you so much, for your lovely work!
So many beautiful yarns and each shelf a new bed for Viggo 😆🐱. I am so glad you mentioned the Cascade yarn as I have literally been trying to decide if I should purchase their Heritage brand to knit a short sleeve t-shirt type knit called Anika by Bronagh Miskelly. It's a beautiful pattern perfect for Spring in Issue 227 of Knitting Magazine. I feel happier about ordering the Cascade yarn now (even though I know the one you mentioned was the 220). I have yarn stashed all over the 🏠 too! 🤣 Anyway, thank you for sharing Kika, I look forward to your book 🥰
Your videos are so great. Thank you for sharing. I have a wish for the next project...maybe in the future 😉....Summer jacket or top, home decoration. A blanket, pillow or things for the lovely kitties🐱🐈
Retrosaria Rosa Pomar is my favorite local yarn shop! They have beautiful yarns and are really friendly and helpful. For an English speaker in Portugal it's so nice because they speak English so well! It's like a little oasis.
Hi! I love your content and you being such a positive person! I can already tell that you love wool, merino, moher and alpaca but do you use cotton for summer projects?
When you take two strands of a yarn does the needlesize doubles too? That's one of the things I find very difficult to estimate. Can you explain how you pick the yarns to combine and how it influences the needlesize to knit with?
You know I lovvve your knitting videos! I've not knitted for a few months but your videos made me want to knit again so bad. Please talk about what to do with the small yarn scraps/waste. Currently I am knitting a top similar to your Lola top in rounds. It will be a crazy rainbow top 🌈 because of all the different colours. And there's a colour mixed yarn in there too, and that's the cherry on🍒 top because in there are lots of the other yarns.
Is your book going to be sold on Amazon? I’m asking because they almost always offer a pre-sale before it’s published, months ahead of time. I don’t want to miss it. I’m so excited about your new book. This was such an informative podcast….thank you for introducing us to these wonderful new (new to me) yarns. ❤️🙋
Wow this looks amazing. What is that lavendel yarn you have so much of? It looks cute. And how would you recommend learning more about how to choose the right yarn for a project?
Nice Yarnstash :o) It's nice to see that you as well go back mostly to the same colors over and over again. When it comes to wool it's now very important to me, that the wool is mulesing free and as ethical as possible, after I learned how badly the animals get treated. I always thought that making wool is not a big deal, but then I read about mulesing, sheep dipping and that after years of producing wool the poor things get transported alive from Australia to North Africa to get slaughtered. But luckily more and more - especially the small companies - produce beautful yarns that are as cruelty free as possible. Knitting for Olive is one of them.
Your Ikea shelf inspires me to do the same. I have a LOT of bins filled with yarn and would love to do something like you did. With your yarn being out in the open, do you have any concerns when it comes to dust or even the sunlight bleaching them? I have never been a fan of brioche, but I really like what you did at 17:25. When I say it, I thought it would be perfect for the sleeve/body hem of a sweater.
Sweater! It looks so pretty🥰. Your adorable cats remind me of my sons. When I am reorganizing my yarn or build shelves, they are always around sitting or sleeping 😘
An idea for a show! Maybe you can show us how you combine different yarns to make a sweater and explain why. I, for one, did not know that you could combine different wools.
I love that you made your inner child happy with your “shop”. Thank you so much for creating this space ❤ I love coming to see the new things you create.
would love to see you make a video on how to find good quality yarn or how to select yarn for projects. I love yarn stores but I need to stop feeling like I want to buy everything and instead be able to find exactly what I need.
I’m watching some of your earlier videos now while you are in babyland 😊 These older ones are just as great as your newer ones. I always love when you share what you are knitting at the moment.
I love all your wonderful colors. I also, would love to see a cotton, or cotton blend, with linen, bamboo... sweater, tee shirt. I' not great at knitting, but would like to try. Nice to see you organizing.
just a note... the amount of light hitting your stash will fade out the colors over time (even a few months). You may want to put a uv filter over the window glass or a curtain over your shelf!
yes

I can’t wait for your book ❤️
😮 hii jennaaa
I want your book too!!!
That shelf with all the colours of the rainbow is sooo pretty! I'd be curious to see something made with cotton or linen yarn, a summery project!
I'm so impressed how chilled your cats are with alle the yarn. My cats go crazy around organic fibers especially Alpaca yarn. With viscose and cotton I have no problem but everything else they want to hunt xD
My cat completely ignores my yarn for some reason 😆 I was super scared at first because of all the scary stories I heard, but he's more interested in the needles than anything else 🤡 alpaca does tickle his curiosity a bit though, but nothing too crazy.

@@edgar7021 but shops keep their yarns exposed too. I wish I had more shelves- in bins isn’t very appealing.
Well I am from Finland too, and never had any moths/other uninvited guests in my flat... :D Not saying it could not happen, of course it could, but maybe it is not as common here as in some other climates?
She is from Finland, not many bugs there is my guess. Brrrrr.
I get so nervous about moths eating my wool so I keep everything in see through zip lock bags!
omg I was so excited to see you mentioning retrosaria rosa pomar!! I live in Lisbon and I was so proud that a local shop turnout out to have one of your favourites :) I'll be sure to go there and check the yarn you mentioned! thank you for the amazing work
Yes I want you to make a sweater out of that "mitten" and put the pattern in the book 😍
Can’t wait for the book!, will it be size inclusive? 🤞x
Only use ‘z’ in the US. Organise is perfectly acceptable English.
Yep it sure is,
Thank you for the clarification. I kept thinking I was misspelling it.
Who doesn’t need motivation to organize their stash?!?!? Thank you! I’m going to work on mine today! It’s a rainy day here in Little Rock, AR so I’m not tempted to do something outside - and you have helped inspire me to get it done!

I'm a beginner knitter.❤️
Fabulous video. Really love the way you've arranged all your yarn. So nice and inspiring to see some of the projects you're working on. I can't wait for your book to be out.
And you should definitely make a sweater pattern out of that two color brioche!!! Love the coral and cream combo!
You have inspired me to get my yarns organized,, my yarns are mostly in a dresser and bins ,,,, I love your videos and I am looking forward to your book,,, Its nice that you have youtube because Im not an instagrammer yet :).. The Sunday brunch sweater is beautiful! Have a wonderful day!!
Thanks for all the great information on yarn and sharing your orginization of all your beautiful yarns!

Isn't anyone worried about moths etc. I keep my yarn in mesh bags, not loose.

I’m on the sweater team for the mitten that should absolutely be a sweater sleeve! It’s going be absolutely gorgeous!
Вязание это состояние души , по вязанию видно кто розовый и пушистый, по вязанию угадывается характер, вы умничка !
Great yarn stash indeed! And I adore your cat coming every now and then purring and being so lovely!!😍🥰
Thank you Kika, this was fun and informative! Would you be able to do a video on fixing finished knitting projects, that you're not happy with? For example, I knit a mohair sweater, that is all baggy and boring, but I can't unravel it, cause, mohair. It would be great to get some ideas on what to do with these kinds of projects!
We never get far from the child we were! Embrace it. Can't wait for the book!
This video is DANGEROUS.. I now have to go bookmark all the yarns linked which is not good news for my bank balance! 🤪
It looks wonderful, I assume you don't have moths (yet).
Nope no moths 😅 But now I’m actually storing my yarns in plastic boxes 👌
Super excited for your book! Hoping the sweater you made with the poofy sleeves is in it 🤞🏻 (#3 of your favorites I think).
Ooooh I see the Hjortsvang rug in your room. I was thinking about getting it. But I hesitate, because I'm nit sure about the cleaning. Can you just vacuum it? I also worry about the dog hairs...

When you’re married you might not want to have all your yarn in one place. If my spouse saw all my stash in one place he’d be somewhat disgruntled.
Haha my partner is luckily ok with all the yarns being out there on display 😆
Well this is her job, she has her own workshop..
I was watching the video and suddenly my country's name popped up! Hahaha, greetings from Uruguay. Love your videos!!
Never ever knitted before and you make me wish I could 😍😍... do you think I can make a sweater as a beginner???w no experience whatsoever 😄
I recently discovered Life in the Long Grass absolutely beautiful, ships from Ireland well worth the wait
I'm curious how much they are in Finland? Because I think they are expensive here in texas where they are made. They are $30 in Texas for those that are wondering
I enjoyed this.
Love the variety and how the yarn looks on the shelves. I believe I have the same bookcase but with glass doors since I also have to worry about cats :) thanks for sharing and can’t wait for your book!
Beautiful colors. Lavender is sweater plus hat? Striped scarf?
Isn’t the yarn going to become light bleached from being bathed in the sun all day? I always thought storing yarn next to the window was not recommended.
Make a sweater 😊
Hello! For the permin angel sweater 18:00 you knit, was it five skeins total of yarn you used?
Putting doors on the cabinet might be good with the cats and if you put a uv tint (if the doors have glass) will help the yarn not discolor
I find organizing using something like ravalry helps too.
I just ordered your book and I’m so excited😊new to knitting so… we will see
I so enjoy your videos and the yarns are beautiful and well organized now.
Can you explain labels on the packages 50g 100g and yardage?
The shelves look awesome, thank you for the sweater pattern xx
Have you ever tried Lana Grossa yarn? What do you think of them, in case?
Your shelf of yarn looks beautiful!! Another great video!!!
Love your yarn shelf!!! Such inspiration with all the colors!!!!
Where can I purchase your book.
Love the Sunday sweater
I store my yarn in moth proof boxes and away from direct light.
my stash is a mess need some inspiration i plan to organize it but i can hardly move iI also sew so its double trouble.
Find just this morning... gorgeous!!!!!🧚♂️🙂🙂🙂👍👍👍thanks!!!!!
You r so adorable. I used to play store with my toys and my grammas canned goods
How to prevent your yarn in shelf from dusting
FIIIIIIIIIIVE STRANDS OF MOHAAAAAIR! 🤩🥰 I love that!!! So soft and squishy and pretttttty! 🌺🌸💖
I love all the yarns and can’t wait for your book!
Dzień dobry
Jesteś bardzo pozytywną osobą i miło się Ciebie słucha. Wspaniała kolekcja luksusowych włóczek.🤩🧶
Love the sweater you are wearing. Is the pattern pon ravelry. From USA CHICAGO area. Just found your podcast. Love it
LOVE your yarn videos!! 😍🧶 All of those colors are just fabulous! The brioche would make an amazing sweater!!! 🌸
Hello Kika! I love knitting, i'm portuguese woman and i love Rosa Pomar to! I love your work! A BIG, BIG HUG for you!

The shelf FULL OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL YARNS is so beautiful. Thank you for all of the lovely content. 💗🧶
Retrosaria Rosa Pomar is my favorite local yarn shop! They have beautiful yarns and are really friendly and helpful. For an English speaker in Portugal it's so nice because they speak English so well! It's like a little oasis.

You probably know this: Don't let your yarn exposed to sunlight. It will fade. ❤️🧶🧶🧶
I'm sooo enjoying watching your videos. You are so exuberant and happy and informative!
I just found your videos---thank you so much for sharing them. You have inspired me to pick my needles back up --- I had been in a slump !!!!
Is your book going to be sold on Amazon? I’m asking because they almost always offer a pre-sale before it’s published, months ahead of time. I don’t want to miss it.

I am very allergic to Cascade 220 😭 knitting hubby a hat out of it and dying along the way. I can only do merino in the sheep category 😮💨
Love love love this, so helpful. I couldn’t do that display with my kitties who would definitely try and rearrange 🐈 🐈⬛ 😂
🧶🪡✂️ can't wait for your book I'm practicing a lot so that I'll be ready 🤗 and my vote is for a sweater
I'm actually very excited for your patterns book! My boyfriend's Finnish, so I asked him to order it to his address when it releases :D
Your Ikea shelf inspires me to do the same. I have a LOT of bins filled with yarn and would love to do something like you did. With your yarn being out in the open, do you have any concerns when it comes to dust or even the sunlight bleaching them?

So excited for your book to come out. I have been missing your videos and hope you are well! thank you for sharing, I really enjoy watching you
Hi I'm a new subscriber. Oh you have me wanting to organize my yarn stash. Nice video.
Lovely collection of yarn you have there! You must feel relaxed and happy just looking at your shelf. 👏👏👏
I love that you made your inner child happy with your “shop”. Thank you so much for creating this space ❤ I love coming to see the new things you create.
would love to see you make a video on how to find good quality yarn or how to select yarn for projects. I love yarn stores but I need to stop feeling like I want to buy everything and instead be able to find exactly what I need.

so cozy and cheerful! im definitely coming back to watch your videos next time i knit, thank u for uploading
I'm so curious to know what that gorgeous lilac yarn is! Does anybody maybe recognize it?
I love all your wonderful colors. I also, would love to see a cotton, or cotton blend, with linen, bamboo... sweater, tee shirt. I' not great at knitting, but would like to try. Nice to see you organizing.
