  • I recently became aware that you can buy yarn lots via auction on shopgoodwill.com. I couldn't find any reviews on buying yarn from the site so I decided to try buying from the site and reviewing the experience with you. Here you will see me showing you what I purchased in one yarn lot. The total cost was 48 dollars with shipping and handling.
    In the next part of the video I will talk about my experience purchasing from the site, what I learned and tips on best practices.

    That colourlab deep teal, and the multi that goes with it, are gorgeous. Can't wait to see what you do with that.

      Or, you can see if it dissolves in small capful of bleach, it might be a blend or 100% natural fiber. Polyester/ acrylic tends to withstand a soak more. ( Of course, just like fire safety, proceed with caution, away from materials and creatures that could be harmed, - but be sure to keep it ventilated so your lungs are safe, too.)

    On an unrelated note, I remember you encouraging me to stop trying to make my first video perfect forever ago, and I just posted my first one on my dedicated channel @JordanTheForeign. Thanks for the encouragement, it's really helped me to get to the place where I can look at myself on video and not NOPE out of recording/editing lol. Please note that I didn't really edit the video at all. Editing time will come once people are actually watching xD.

    You did well. I scored a box of about 25 chunky paintbox yarn for $25 at a salvation army. I haven't tried the goodwill site. My local goodwill over priced the random yarn they put out. I have a large stash from varies clearance hauls. I'm trying not to purchase yarn these days.

    • @WoodshedTheory
      @WoodshedTheory  10 місяців тому

      Yes so many places overpriced crappy yarn but then when they get special yarn it’s cheap - I would say this is a great resource as long as the shipping and handling doesn’t make it crazy

Also have you done a hexagon cardigan yet?? If you haven’t check it out, I’m working on one now. I think this is great because it can be applied to any collectable autonomy GW. Thanks Claire!

    That was like watching that trick where all the clowns come out of the car... Every time I thought that had to be all the yarn, I was wrong. 🤣 I'd knit a sweater for my two-year-old daughter out of that gorgeous deep green yarn. I knit a sweater for each of my brother's two daughters for the occasion of their first ever day of school, but now that I have kids of my own, I didn't do that for them (my two boys), and I don't know why. My ten-year-old might wear something I knit, but my five-year-old is super picky about what he'll put on and he doesn't like anything thick or soft. My daughter still wears whatever I decide to put on her. We'll see how long that lasts.

      Yeah, pin looms can be homemade in any size : ) I have seen some really cool videos of large versions of these that use recycled t-shirts to make "pot-holder rugs". Wall art, whether rya rugs/ and/or latch hook, macrame, tapestries, etc can really get creative, too. I have also enjoyed learning about the eclectic/ accessible/ imperfect "saori" weaving from Japan, though it involves a more involved loom.

    Another great score $850 bucks of yarn for $48 is awesome. I was kind of worried there would only be one offs in there. But very pleased to see enough skeins to get at least a sweater out of it. All of the fiber in one color way I would say that might have been bought by someone with a weaving loom to make a wall hanger with. That’s what I would use it for anyway.
