Don't feel bad about your acquisition - you deserve every bits of yarn that you can buy since you are working so hard. And you make us discover new mill and brand so it's wonderful. I always enjoy your podcats ! Thanks.
Wonderful episode, Inge. You sometimes apologize for showing acquisitions, but think how nice this is for both your viewers around the world and for the smaller or lesser known spinners or dyers. I live in a small town in the US without any local yarn shops and learn so much about what people are producing and the characteristics of these yarns. I see it as you educating your viewers and helping to promote small and very worthy producers. All the best to you; you are hands (needles) down my favorite podcaster. 🧶❤️🥰
❤️🎉🥳❤️
I love seeing your acquisitions ❤
Hi. 2 is the number of yarn plied together. 11.3 is the length in meter, per ply, required to weigh one gram. Is a definition on their website. Farther research on my side the higher the second number/ the meters the better quality. Industry Standard for good quality cashmere is 2/26
You may need a tighter gauge for longer lasting garments
Inga, I love acquisitions! Just have learned so much about other yarns and other types of woolly wool since watching the “acquisitions “ portion of the pod cast. You are very sincere and have never come across as bragging or whatever. Please …….. (if you can afford ) I completely appreciate and enjoy this part of your podcast. As well as all the other parts too. Hugs, ClaudiaSJI
Oh Inge, I placed 2 wool orders in last 24 hours and I was reorganizing my wool room this afternoon I felt so guilty and I told myself that’s it for the next few months no more yarn. I sit tonight to watch you podcast and I get to the acquisition part and boom I order a greasy cone of the most beautiful green “New Lawn” I turned to my husband and said…. It is Inge to blame :)))) desert island yarn is Jamieson and Smith of Shetland I love touching it, knitting with it, smelling it … every thing about it
Blame me heheh! Im good with that;) uuuuh i really want to order a jamiesons and smoth cone😉
"That was fun. No." - You do make me laugh!!
I always love your podcasts, they make me feel so serene and put me right in the mood for some knitting :)
Thank you for sharing your acquisitions! Through your podcast I have discovered the wonderful world of Holst Garn, Woolly knit and now J. C. Rennie (will definitely try in a near future). I really enjoy your descriptive comments about the yarn you get and it has helped me in the past to choose what kind of yarn I would like to order online. So thank you! 😊
I had Holst on my list, but I have acquired the other 2 you mentioned. I purchased out Wooly Knit using the CREABEA promo and loved it so much I placed another order last night. Also ordered JC Rennie. Holst is on my list, but I really need to slow down. I think I have about 30 cones...minimum. Crazy part is I said I was not going to buy yarn this year.
Your podcast always brings joy to my day! I am currently working on a forest green version of the Billie Pullover, inspired by you:) Have a great day and happy knitting! Hello from Canada❤
"And do I have yarn that is similar in color??" I get you Inga!!! Haha... we love what we love. I loved hearing you talk about and show your acquisitions. I have discovered new yarns and places to find them because of you.
I love seeing your aquisitions because it introduces me to new sources for gorgeous yarns around the world! So thank you thank you!
I lit up when I saw your baby flax! I find out the gender of my baby tomorrow and can hardly contain myself. Your friend will love it, so kind of you to knit it for her baby!
Congratulations💕💕💕
I love watching your acquisition section because it's often yarn that I don't see much in the US. Your podcast also has made me realize that while I love *looking at* fun and colorful speckled yarns, I really prefer to knit with solids and earthy neutrals. I've even started exploring non-superwash and am loving it. Thank you for sharing your time with us!
I love seeing all your acquisitions-makes me feel better about all the yarn I have stashed in my sewing room closet 😍
I’ll be honest - my favorite part of knitting videos is the acquisition part! I love seeing all the beautiful wools available and especially love your acquisition section since you’re one of the few I watch who is in Europe with all the lovely wools available there! I also love seeing the patterns you find (and knit). They’re beautiful and beautifully done.
Never feel bad about sharing 🤗 you’re such a sweetheart, you never come across as showing off, and you help me make decisions for yarn purchases 😊 I bought a couple of cones from Scotland before your episode even ended😁 thank you for your podcast😊 you and chevyrell are my favorites 😊 peace and love to you from Ontario Canada ❤️
Oh thank you😘 hahah i love that you did that😘 hope you enjoy it aswell💕
Can I ask how much was the shipping to Ontario?
@@teeflemming9893 22 euros …
I bought 2 cones totaling 50 euros
Hi Inga, I don’t feel like you’re bragging about purchasing your yarn. You’re showing how passionate you are about your knitting. Also, it’s nice to help us become aware of different brands of yarn that we might otherwise not know about. You’re also putting those yarn producers on the map and helping to promote them by sharing because we may want to try those lovely yarns. You’re awesome, that’s what I think about you and your podcast. You’re very genuine and my blessings be given to you for being you!
I love the acquisitions section. Don’t feel guilty at all. I live in San Francisco so we have a lot of beautiful yarns here too, but it’s fun and inspiring to be introduced to yarn in other parts of the world. So next time I’m in Europe I’ll know what to look for!! 🧶
Dear Inga, thank you so much for your great podcast! You've brought back the fun and happiness to my knitting. Thank you so much for that! Since my best friend with whom I knitted together a lot died from cancer 6 years ago, knitting didn't bring the joy it used to. For some reason your vlog helped to losen that knot. 😊
Watching this was so much fun.I really enjoyed it a lot. Especially the acquisition part of it. Whatever the rest of the day brings, nothing can take that away. 😍
Greetings, Andrea
I do love your acquisitions the colours which are your favouties. You encourage us with your enthusiasm. Your knits are so well done with your variations in the pattern. Lol. Take care and rest 💜
Not showing off, sharing. I appreciate your sharing all your acquisitions and knowledge of different yarns. It feels sometimes like i am traveling without leaving home, learning about all the different acquisitions. If that makes sense. Lol. Thank you for sharing!
You are so radiant, you brighten my knitting (always knitting while watching you. Love all you do ans buy, continue doing it and showing it to us. Love from Canada
Thank you for sharing all your projects AND acquisitions. You give us great information on beautiful yarns and inspirational ideas. I have learned so much about how to pair yarns from you. I also agree with the sentiment that you work hard so you should enjoy working with quality yarn to make your beautiful pieces. My husband & I have both worked in health care (one of the most stressful environments). Knitting is so therapeutic. You are kind by sharing some gifted yarn in your giveaways and that is paying it forward as well. 😘
You don’t come across in a negative way when you show your acquisitions, I really enjoy this part of your videos 😍
Beautiful yarns. Thank you.love the dog sledding .
Yes I think you can claim to be an experienced knitter! You're one of the most experienced Knitters I've seen. And that scarf from when you are a teenager is fabulous you should definitely wear it :-)
Inga ! Your acquisitions yarns are really beautiful all of them! I agree the green wool same colour as your walls! Amazing colours! Love it all! Xx 😘
My "dessert island yarn" would be definitely "Le petite lambswool" from Biches at Buches. The colours, the texture, the smell, the light but warm fabric... I just love it and want to knit all the things with it. 😄
Greetings from Germany! Ingrid
I'll second this recommendation ! It's delightful to knit with.
I LOVE seeing all your acquisitions….please keep sharing them
I love your podcast! I do enjoy seeing your acquisitions! It makes me feel like I have gone on a yarn shopping trip with you💕🧶
Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you! For sharing your acquisitions. I learn so much. And it reduces my guilt so much🤣!
Thank you for another lovely podcast! I love seeing your acquisitions! I get to learn about brands that I don't see in my local yarn store. I've added several links to my knitting favourites folder from your podcast so that I can search for yarns when preparing for a project. Comes in handy when I can't find what I am looking for locally. Loved learning about the cones! Have a wonderful day!
So glad your share your acquisitions with us. We learn of new yarns and that is good stuff. Over the past two years yarn has brought many of us joy.
I’m always so happy when I see that you’ve uploaded another episode! Also, I love the acquisition section. I take out my journal and make notes. I find it so helpful for my own purchases. Thank you! 🧶😊❤️
OMG 🤤 I went to the website and just drooled. The colors are gorgeous! The Turin, Coffee, shade 123, Old Forest, and oh yes Morpheus. And 850 GM 👏👏👏 I’m anxious for you to knit with it! Please soon 🤣
I feel the same way 😄
which website?
Oh! That tiny pink sweater is divine!
As always I love your podcast. I love the pants. Couldn't find a pattern so I made up my own. They are wearable. I am jealous of your reliable snow. We used to have snow like that when I was a child here in Massachusetts. But now it's hit or miss
Thank you for sharing your new yarns it is my favourite part
I love it so much
I love seeing what you buy, your colors are lovely and very inspiring.
I have no idea how I have been living under a rock, but I just found your podcast (and subscribed) and I ADORE it. I love your garments and that baby sweater is too cute.
Oh thank you😘😘😘
Love your visible mending well dane, I thought it looked like a spider very cute 😍!
Inga, I look forward to seeing your acquisitions in every show. It gives me so many creative ideas, and I don't think any of us in the knitting world mind seeing all the new beautiful yarns. You have helped to expose me to some really good yarns around the world. Thank you. Please keep it up.
Love the new acquisitions. Please keep sharing.
Love all your projects and the YARN!
Hello from WESTERN NY, USA! I just wanted to tell you I love winding down my days watching and listening to your podcast. The orange and navy that you kept mentioning made me think of a BIG university that is local in Syracuse NY! This are their colors and a die hard ‘cuse (q-see) fan would LOVE socks in those colors!
Thank you Inga! You are such kind thoughtful person! I love to see all your yarns your knitting everything! I would love to visit yarn store shown here! Hugs & xx 😘🧶😘
Oh, hey!
I live near this mill in Scotland and I worked there few summers ago 😊. Their yarn is lovely 😊 (I know, I'm biased 😋).
Thanks fir another lovely episode! Btw, the pattern on your long ago made scarf, could poibly be called horse show lace 😉.
Thank you so much for another wonderful episode! I so enjoy watching you while working on my projects. Your knitting is lovely and I really enjoy seeing all the beautiful acquisitions. I get a lot of inspiration for future projects and yarns from the things you talk about. I have knit a Tulip by Melody Hoffman as well, and am currently working on a Wild Posy in plötulopi while watching you. I hope you have a wonderful day. Thank you again for sharing your passion with the rest of us. It really does bring a lot of joy and peace to my days. 😊
You're so sweet. I really love to look at acquisitions because I'm living in California and not familiar with all the European yarns as you are. Furthermore, in my climate, it is not a common hobby to knit sweaters, but I really can't stop. We don't have many shops so I find a lot of my yarns online. So thank you for showing me all your lovely yarn!
I love that you share your acquisitions and you always give an honest opinion about each one which helps us dream and also seek to purchase them. I truly appreciate your podcasts and look forward to seeing the next one
Please don't apologize for all the yarn you get!!! I'm sure those of us who can't afford it or don't have the resources or opportunity to get these yarns LOVE to see these yarns anyway. You definitely don't come off as showing off. Love your podcast and how it ignites the love of knitting.
Love it when you show your acquisitions. It really helps to see you show the yarn and talk about the color and feel. You really add value - please keep sharing. There are so many desert island yarns… I love colorwork, so Jamieson & Smith Shetland 4 ply in lots of colors… Flying Fibers FlockYarn (shepherdesses from near my Pennsylvania, USA home - BFL Longwool and Wensleydale)…. Ginger Twist Studio Wensleydale DK, Edinburgh, Scotland is also wonderful… all natural, non-superwash
Don’t apologize for showing your stash or acquisitions. Please continue because it gives us information about what is available.
Still here! That green mohair tweed so beautiful a green! 🧶💜🧶
I NEED that pink cone in my life!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Thank you so much for such a wonderful episode! I loved it all. Your acquisitions are a treat to see and I learn so much from all the different yarns that you show us. It really makes me feel like "family." I always love the closing shots of yarn shopping, the drive home, the ski slopes and your spectacular mountains. ❤
You've made me feel less guilty about my 4 sweaters quantity of yarn I've bought this week 😱 I am a yarn addict and I'm proud!! Thanks for another great podcast Inga ❤️
Lol Inga, you are in wool heaven! I know you truly love yarns and knitting and that you are sharing the love xxx💖
I’m adding my appreciation to others for the information you share about yarns from your part of the world, Inga. I’ve knit a lovely sweater in Hillesvag Tinde because of your inspiration, and it’s my current favorite sweater! I’m in the US but my son and his family make their home in Denmark and learning more about Scandinavian knitting from you helps me feel closer to them.
Love your inspiration, your courage, always going on. Please, stay happy and be brave. To see a young woman who is dealing with lot of hardships and still smiling. Simple enjoying her knitting, stitch by stitch. Maybe you never find out how important it really is. Enjoy your journey! Love your podcast. 🥰❣️💕 A brave knitter. Prepping is a good thing, not a bad. Thank you for choosing joy!
Really enjoying your podcast, especially the views into life in Norway (a place I long to visit one day) Keep doing what you’ve doing!❤️
Loved the episode. I really like your acquisitions. They inspire me to check out new to me yarn makers and I can add to my stash without guilt because you’ll always have more! 🤪thanks, Inga for your beautiful knitting and lovely attitude, you always make me smile!
I love here for the knitting AND the acquisitions. You are so inspiring, and I love seeing the joy on your face when you show your FOs, WIPS, and acquisitions. It brightens my day! Thank you for taking the time to do this. Big hugs from Ontario, Canada.
Another wonderful afternoon spent knitting and watching you show us all the things you have knitted. So inspiring.
I really enjoy your acquisitions section because I love yarn ~ just love it and it’s so nice to see yarns from other countries ~ keep buying and receiving please.
Inga you made me giggle 🤭 the cones are beautiful colours! I love them all ! You are so naughty ! I did not the wine coloured yarn on your fixture ha! Ha! Xx 😘
I always enjoy watching your podcast so much! 🧡 And it’s been so fun reading the comments and seeing everyone’s Desert Island yarns. Mine would definitely be Jamieson & Smith as well as Iona Wool. I loooove their yarn and it’s all available in cones. 😃
I love everything you are sharing❣This is why it is lovely to watch your pod, it is so interesting to hear about different yarns, patterns and all you talk about and showing! It is relaxing for me though I can't look at Instagram, because it is too much - my brain is too tired for that - so I only choose to watch pods! So thank you that you make it possible for me to see what is going on and you make the selection! And as somebody else said, you are helping small stores, indiedyers and pattern designers, GREAT!
As always so lovely to see you💗 I knew the full version would come up again and it did🙏🏻 Hope u have a wonderful day!!
If I were to end up on a desert island, I would like to bring with me all the colors of Rauma yarn. Thank you so much for a really nice podcast. And of course we are happy with yarn. Have a good time and knit beautifully.
What a fun morning to be able to travel along with you in your knitting journey
LOVE the acquisitions! It always introduces me to yarns that I would not know about in the States. And you are really good at describing what they feel, smell, knit like. That is super helpful, too. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for this new episode, I always watch them with great pleasure and like to see also your acquisitions because they give me the chance to discover new yarns (and make me smile because I can sometimes recognize myself in your words 😀)
That was a fabulous podcast! I loved the ending with the fantastic yarn store and the beautiful scenery, thank you so much for taking the time to show us all your knitting and your beautiful yarn.
I am here for the knitting yarn acquisitions, and your sweet personality. I enjoy hearing all about these wonderful indie yarn dyers and yarns! Thanks for the content.
From their website: If the yarn is 1/11.3Nm then you would multiply 11.3m x 765 grams = 8644.5 meters. If the yarn is plied twice (i.e. 2/11.3Nm) then the yarn will be twice as thick and therefore will be twice as short = 4,322.25 meters.
I love watching your acquisitions!! So much fun!! Keep it coming! You are most certainly an expert knitter!
Love seeing it all from FO's to WIP's, acquisitions to dream knits. Thank you.
Ha ha : I have a thing with yarn too ! Sometimes I freak out because I have yarns everywhere in my house but... knitting helps me so much (I have a chronic illness) and brings me joy and peaceful moment. Thank you for all your shares 🧡🧡🧡
Thanks for showing all the yarn, love it. It give us the idea and inspire us. Happy knitting and shopping for yarn !!!
I really enjoy your podcasts Inga, and will definitely look forward to your next one, I am new to knitting but enjoying every aspect of it, a fantastic craft 😀
You have a wonderful podcast Inga! Fantastic knitting. Love when you share your acquisitions. So inspiring Really delectable.
Loved seeing all of your new yarn. I especially loved all of the cones. So yummy.
Loved it!! Yes, please keep on sharing your acquisitions ❤
Enjoyed every minute of podcast! Such wonderful yarn goodies! So many possibilities!
Oh my, I have a really bad case of yarn envy!! Although, most of my family have wool sensitivities so likely I wouldn’t be able to use most of it, but whole CONES of yarn! Sigh! 💕💕💕
I think the lace shawl you made at 14 is lovely!
Watching your acquisitions and your joy about them feels to me nearly as good as buying yarn on my own!
Thanks for sharing it all- I’m another fan of acquisitions too. As it happens (a little guiltily because of SABLE- Stash Acquired Beyond Life Expectancy) I just bought yarn to make the Tulip Sweater. I’ve been admiring a shop sample at my favorite local yarn store for weeks and decided to go for it. I bought Lettlopi- olive green and Isager silk mohair in a dark green. And- love your lacy scarf- my opinion- wear it- it’s beautiful and the length will keep you warm. Also- love the yarn shop video and the skiing footage- I’m a skier and love seeing skiing in Norway!
Dear Inga - I truly love to see all your acquisitions and your energy makes my day :-)
I love seeing all of your knitting and always look forward to your acquisitions, Inga. And boy did you acquire a lot of beautiful yarn! 🌸
Inge, your personality really shone in this episode! Thank you for a most entertaining and informative almost 1.5 hours. I may be purchasing some of those cones, thanks to you 😀
"*mlep* Fiber" (and its derivations) is always one of my favourite and relatable moments in this podcast 😂 I enjoy the acquisitions corner of the podcast -- I feel like it helps me discover new items and think about colourways and fibers in a way I might not otherwise !
I love your videos. Keep showing the yarn you buy. It is very helpful to people that live in other parts of the world. When you mention a yarn I’ll google it to check it out. I’m purchasing some JC Rennie after watching your video. It’s great to see the outside videos also. Thank you
It’s always fun to see what you’ve been making and acquiring. Don’t feel one bit guilty nor do you ever come across as showing off. You work hard and if this gives you pleasure and you can afford it, why not? I think of having lots of yarn choices in my stash as the same thing as a painter having lots of colors of paint to choose from. Another reason I love to see acquisitions is to learn about yarns and dyers that are new to me and it helps to promote them. Your message of kindness to one another and to ourselves is always lovely. Thank you, Inge for sharing so much with us. BTW, love that baby flax sweater. Tin Can Knits has a lot of free patterns that are beautifully written.
I LOVE seeing your acquisitions! Don't apologize! If people don't like, they can turn off, but you earn your money, you spend it how you like to!!! You got me into Nutiden, so maybe I shouldn't be encouraging you,😂😂😂
Hehe😉 we knitters support eachother and thus enable eachother and its a happy feeling
Great episode. Please don’t apologize for showing your acquisitions. I love seeing them and learning about other fibers and places to order from. Everything you purchased was beautiful.Thanks for sharing 💕
I love seeing all the things you are knitting on and all your lovely acquisitions. You shouldn't feel the need to apologize. You can spend your money however you choose. Personally, I love seeing all the yarns and learning about all the beautiful dyers and mills you purchase from. Thanks for a wonderful episode!
Wonderful episode as always 😊 Thanks for sharing all you knit and also all the acquisitions they are wonderful yarns 🧶
I really appreciate you trying so many different yarns and patterns...so I don't have to and can make a thrifty choice when I'm online shopping. I actually bought some oily yarn from colour mart last fall to make a Christmas gift and I straight up never finished it because of the oil. I wasn't just smelling it. It was on my hands and after an hour I could even taste it in my mouth every time I knit with it no matter how careful I was to not touch anything else while I was knitting. I don't know I'm just sensitive or that supplier has more spinning oil than others but as lazy as I am I will 100% make skeins and prewash before knitting greasy yarn again.
Inge, I love the sweater that you are wearing! I also love the garment that you are knitting your friend’s new baby❤️. All the yarn that you have acquired is lovely😊
Loved this episode, and I appreciated your lace shawl made as a teenager. You’re obviously gifted in more ways than one. I’ve also taken on your outlook of avoiding superwash. Also, please don’t apologize for your acquisitions because you’re entitled to rewarding yourself and I appreciate your gift of enabling. Thank you for all you do 🤩
