Love the yarn colour way and the name too. I really enjoy Kelly’s channel on TH-cam, she is such a likeable person and I am jealous that you got to meet Jeff 😊
What a brilliant video Ali. You had the best time and I bet you now can’t wait for later in the year. All the trial skeins you dyed were beautiful, gorgeous colour choices. I’m looking forward to knitting my skein up 😃
Oh! That looked like such a fun weekend. Your Wonderland Walk color way is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
What fun! Thank you for taking us along on this delightful yarny adventure.
I have several skeins of naked wool AND a new neighbor who knows how to dye yarn…
Now, I just need to do it! 🌻🧶😜
Do it do it! It was so much fun and then to see how the finished skeins looked was an added surprise! Enjoy :)
What an idyllic place! I have added it to my bucket list of places I must go before I die. It will take some doing as I am from California, USA but I am determined. It’s just so beautiful. And I love your yarn and it was so wonderful to see you have that experience of dying the yarn. Can’t wait to see the finished sweater. ❤
Really enjoyed this vlog. What a beautiful place you stayed in and gorgeous area.
Oh they are glorious 😊 Great yarns Ali
Oh what a wonderfully cosy and lovely vlog ❤
I love the yarn you created. Amazing!
So excited to have my skein of this gorgeous yarn. I waited to open it as I was watching this vlog and loved seeing your little message on the band. Thank you for sharing your experience, it looked like so much fun! I really liked the blue skeins too, I wonder whether lay family would dye them up 🤔 I would love to do one of their dyeing retreats and ironbridge looks like a beautiful place to visit x
Oh what fun! Your "wonderland walk" colorway is beautiful Ali.
Thanks so much Karen! 🤗
What a fantastic chance to dye your own yarn from start to finish. I’m loving it 😍
Thank you Claudia! 😊 It was amazing fun!
What a wonderful video! Loved every minute❤
Beautiful Wonderland Walk yarn Ali, thankyou for taking us on tour adventure. When you held the sock tube up to your face it suited you so well. Xx
Thanks Carolyn! I am glad you enjoyed it 🤗
What a nice looking place. Seems so homey and quiet. Lovely.
It was a gorgeous place to visit (the town and the guesthouse) - I'll definitely be going back :) x
All the yarns were so lovely!! And that B&B was just the cutest thing ever!!
Thank you! It was all down to Nick's expertise :) The B&B was so delightful! x
I’ve really enjoyed watching you, Gayna and Sandra learning all about the dyeing process. It’s so interesting seeing the skeins evolve, and I love them all! I don’t think I’d know where to start. You certainly managed to capture all the elements of your magical fairy forest! 🌳
Thank you Margaret! Nick is a great teacher, as is Kelly, and they were so helpful in pulling out the colours from my inspiration board. It was a fascinating process! 🌳✨
Proper Job!
What a grand adventure! Beautiful
cottage feel to your bed and breakfast room…and TWO pieces of cake. Yay!🍰🍰So nice to be able to choose your yarn colors and have such expert guidance.
Haha - any day with two pieces of cake is a good day! 🍰 Thanks Barbara xx
Absolutely beautiful, all of it!! Thank you for sharing with us. You're such a lovely, warm person and I'm thankful to you for sharing your adventures, and I always learn something new from you which is a total bonus. Such a pleasure to watch. Thank you!!!
What a wonderful experience. 🇬🇧
It was such a great experience, I thoroughly enjoyed myself :) 🤗
Very pretty wonderland walk colorway you created ❤, all four skeins would make a beautiful featherweight cardigan combined as a fade I think. Very interesting to watch the whole process come together. You did a very good job 👍🏻
Thank you Eveline! 😊 I was thinking of a Featherweight faded candy too, would be lovely...
What a wonderful experience! Your joy just burst out of my screen and into my heart! All of the yarn you dyed turned out so lovely, and I thank you for sharing your inspiration pics as well.❤ Really well done!
Thank you for taking us on your yarn dying adventure. I need to see if anyone offers this near me. Your colour combos are fantastic, and I loved your mood board. Can't wait to see what you make from your bespoke yarn. 💙🩵💚❤️
What gorgeous yarn Ali! Looks like you had such a fun time. I am a big fan of greens too so I'm off to buy some right now... I think I'm going to make a shawl with it. Not sure whether it will be knit or crochet yet though! xx
Lovely room at the B&B! I recognised the dressing table and wardrobe as being the same make as my mother had in her bedroom! Lovely weekend away. Love Ironbridge. Beautiful yarn!
Oh how lovely is that? I loved the feel of the decor of the B&B, very calming and traditional :) xx
Thank you for sharing your lovely time with Kelly, Nick and Jeff xx
It was just wonderful Jo! Obviously gorgeous Jeff/Geoff (sp?!) was the highlight!
How exciting for you, what a lovely few days you've had, your yarn is beautiful xx
Thank you Sandi! 😊
❤❤❤such a great experience 🎉🎉🎉
Loved it all,,and the colors,,,,
ELAINE 🏡💕
Thank you so much Elaine! 💚
Oh my goodness what an absolutely lovely experience.
That room! The view! That all looks heavenly to me.
I was quite giddy about that view! And my early morning walk around Ironbridge was beautiful, I loved it there :) x
I went on a Lay Family dyeing retreat two years ago and had great fun. They are such a lovely couple. Loved all your colour choices. Can't wait to see Wonderland Walk in a full item of clothing. I knitted the Marble Mount sweater after seeing the sample in their shop.
Love the colour yarn together
Love the color, ordered mine today!
Thanks so much! 💚✨
This was a lovely video, Ali. I found it particularly valuable as I’m going on a yarn dying retreat at Lay Family Yarn in the autumn. Obviously my FOMO kicked in and I purchased a skein of your yarn to knit some Christmas socks 🤗
Dear Ali, I love youre Videos. I always look forward to watch them.
Thank you so much Julia! This is so lovely to hear, I am glad you enjoy them 🤗
It's been another great adventure and insight into the world of yarn dying and the thought process/inspiration behind a new colour scheme. I watched Gayna and Sandra on their trip too. Well done and I look forward to seeing your future garments in your *OWN* colourway creation!!
What an idyllic charming village! Lovely BNB! What an exciting fun weekend! I think the color of your yarn is amazing!! So you!!
Thank you so much Evie! x
That was so much fun! Thank you for sharing your journey.
Glad you enjoyed it Kristina! 💚
Hi Ali I wondered if you would be invited to dye your own yarn and I'm so pleased you did, it's a lovely colour and I've just put my order in thankyou
Thank you so much! I'm delighted you like it 🤗 I had a great time dyeing with Kelly and Nick and learned so much x
Those yarns would look beautiful as a kit 😍 I could completely see the inspiration when you held the images up too.
The view was stunning and it looked like a wonderful visit, I enjoyed the vlog takeover aswell. Such a fun video xx
Oh thank you Kayleigh! I owe you an email by the way....
I am so happy Kelly filmed that extra bit, it was a lovely surprise when she showed me and added a great extra side to the vlog :) xx
It was an interesting video on the wool dyeing … I love the yarns you dyed so beautiful 📚💞📚
Beautiful yarn you dyed. Very pretty colors.
Ali, I loved this video! It was so interesting to see the yarn dying process. All of the skeins you dyed were gorgeous 😍
Thanks so much! xx
What an amazing experience and I’m glad you had a wonderful time! I’m sure Kelly and Nick are amazing hosts at their studio! I love all the colours you dyed and I like “Cammo”particularly! I was very surprised the end result wasn’t yellow but quite understand your logic! Glad the bed linen at your B &B was acceptable 🤣 and it did look a very comfortable establishment! Thanks for a great vlog x
Kelly and Nick were incredible and I'm looking forward to the retreat in November even more now! That cake was homemade by Kelly and it was SO good 😋 Thanks for watching Heather! xx
The view out your window is beautiful. Love your jaunts.
Thank you! I was giddy when I saw that view, just perfect! x
You chose so well Ali, love your yarn colour way , just beautiful and so you ❤ love & Hugs Suze. 🥰🧶🤗 xxx
Wow, you where in yarn dying heaven for a couple of days. And the colors are amazing! Thank you for taking us a look inside. Looking forward to see your garment(s) with this beautiful yarn. Till the next time, have a good week. Greatings from Holland from Michelle aka Shelly Aussie ☺️❤️
Thank you Shelly! It really was yarn dyeing heaven! 🤗
Just ordered mine! Now to anxiously await its arrival 😊
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy it when it arrives! I think I will be running a Wonderland Walk K/CAL soon so watch out for news! 🤗
What a wonderful opportunity! I am so happy for you! Your color is so beautiful, and I can't wait to see what you create with it. Thank you for taking us along on your yarn dyeing adventure❤
Ah thank you Denise! 🤗
My favourite was the darker green too.
yay! So glad you agree with my choice, I am so indecisive 😄
I really enjoyed my time at a Lay family yarn retreat last year and I stayed in the same b&b as you, it’s fab isn’t it? it was lovely to see the views from the window, brought back lovely memories. I’ve booked again this year. Kelly and Nick are so good at their craft and such lovely, inspiring people. Your yarns are beautiful, I don’t think I could have chosen just one, looking forward to seeing what you knit with it. Thank you for taking us along with you.
What a wonderful experience when you ask which one was your favourite I chosethe one you liked Wounderland Walk I will be ordering some if it still available.🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧
Oh I am so happy you liked the same one! Even if the original 24 sold out Nick has the formula to dye to order so the colour will always be available to buy I believe 🤗
wow! what beautiful yarn you dyed! You must be so proud. Well done Ali!
Thanks Susan! I was soooo nervous but I am thrilled with the result! x
Thanks for taking us on your yarn dying adventure. Congrats on how beautiful they turned out.
I find it ironic that a dyer thinks their finished yarn doesn't meet their inspiration/expectation, then it sells quickly. It meets or exceeds the inspirations +/or expectations of the buyers!
Thanks Valerie! I am thrilled to bits with it 😃
When I saw Gayna from Tales from Cuckoo Land, be one of the original TH-cam dyers , I really hoped you would be one! When you hinted at it last week, I made sure I had money in my account just in case. Needless to say, I purchased one of the original 25 🥳 I enjoy both your channels very much 💜
Thanks so much Gina! I am so glad you liked it and bought a skein! Thank you for you kind words too 🤗
Just bought the yarn. Love the colour! So excited 😀 well done Ali x
Oh Jenny I am so happy you like it! This has made me grin from ear to ear 🤗
That was really lovely and interesting
Wow beautiful yarn , my favourite is Wonderland Walk ❤ well done !
Thank you Jenny! 😊
Ali it all looks like a fun time was had. How wonderful to have the opportunity to go and learn how to dye yarn. I ordered a skein of dk yarn, at first I couldn't make my mind up between dk and 4ply 😅. I can't wait for it to arrive. xxx
I am glad I am not the only one who is indecisive 😅 I hope you love it Marion! 💚
Ali the yarn arrived this week. It's beautiful, you are so clever dying these shades to make this beautiful yarn. I do think I shall knit a hat with it later this year. xxx
O I love Ironbridge my husband plays in the brass festival there every year ❤
Oh my word that's so cool! 🎺
This was amazing! I had to purchase 2 skeins as soon as I heard it would be wonderful as a Christmas yarn with red!
Love all 4 of the yarns - so hard to choose. x
It was very hard choosing just one! 🤗
Thank you, Ali, for introducing me to Lay Family Yarn! The Wonderland Walk colorway turned out so beautiful, rich, and earthy! I’ve ordered 3 skeins! Not sure what I’ll make yet, but I’ll put my little drop of wonderful pin on it and go for a walk! The color will go well with all four seasons! So excited to see what you make with it!!
Thank you Amber! Lay Family Yarn have beautiful yarns! I will be starting a K/CAL for Wonderland Walk very soon - stay tuned! 🍄🌳🐛🦩
Oooh, yarn is lovely! Kudos to you. The April cardigan is my favorite-I’ve made four of them! Enjoy the knitting journey. ❤
I love the one you chose. I’m not a big fan of green, but the one you chose is just luscious. I think it would look good on anyone! 💚
Thank you so much Pam! 🤗
What great Color’s for socks. I am a sock knitter. Can’t wait to see what she knits up.
Lovely video. Green is my favorite color (American spellings. Haha.) You chose my favorite of the four. I hope you relive your memories with every stitch.
Yay! I am glad I chose the one you would have chosen too, I am so indecisive 😅
I just paused and nipped over to get my skein! I added a red mini. I think that I will make the Fairy Ring Socks by Katie Green Bean with some color modifications! 😁
Oh oh oh! YES! Excellent pattern choice! I have the Fairy Ring Hat pattern...ooooooh! 🍄
Wonderland walk is gorgeous. Congrats.
Thank you Julie! xx
Thank you for taking us all along! Seems like you have had a lovely time- and the yarn is stunning!!!
Thank you so much! 😃
CONGRATULATIONS on your yarn dying adventure!! I'm so excited.....just checked out purchasing your BEAUTIFUL sock yarn!! Talk about a Wonderland walk, it will be making it's journey to the USA!!!
Oh! That's exciting to hear Darlene, on its own adventure to the States! Thanks so much for ordering a skein 💚
OH MY GOD Ali those colours are fab an would love to knit or crochet with them.
Thank you so much Tina! I am so thrilled you like it :) xx
Wow. Love the Color’s. I wouldn’t be able to decide. Lol
😅 It was so hard! Fortunately Kelly and Nick were very patient with my indecisiveness :) x
Ordered one DK skein! So happy. Mailing is pricey but I really loved the new green.
Aw thank you so much for ordering! I’m so happy you like it 😃🐛
Wow! what beautk
Lovely colours Ali, well done👏❤️
Thanks so much Rachel 😊
Loved the blog , Ironbridge is such a lovely place. The b & b was very nice and what a great view from the window. Your dyed skeins are fabulous wl done xx❤
Thanks so much Audrey! 😊
I’m really enjoying this video. I’ve been planning a trip to the UK from Canada to take a whole load of art and craft classes. I was hoping to come up to the Iron Bridge area, but it didn’t quite work out so I’ll be sticking to the south coast. Now I’m feeling even more like I need to come back and head further north
Have a wonderful time when you are here! Good to have an excuse to come back for more crafty times too :) x
Already bought before I even came here! 😂😂😂
Aw! That is so lovely! I am so happy you like it - I've been so nervous 🤗
Love a deeper colour. I’m thinking dog walking shawl for me 😊
💚💚💚
Really enjoyed seeing everything well done all x
Thank you Jacquie! It was a really fun couple of days ☺️xx
❤❤❤ Two of my favorite TH-camrs in one Vlog! Your yarn is just beautiful!
Aw! Kelly is one of my favourites too, she is so relaxing to listen to! x
Congratulations on your beautiful yarn colorway! What a fun experience.
Thank you! I learned so much and I loved it, such a creative process 🤗 xx
I absolutely love your Wonderland Walk yarn!! It's beautiful!! That's so fun that you got to hang out with Shropshire's Premier Vlogger!! 😘😍 It looked like you had a good time! Thank you for sharing this with us!! 😊
Haha, not everyone gets to spend time in such premier vlogging company! 😂 Thank you Debbie, I am so happy you like it 💚
Gorgeous, love Wonderland Walk!!!
Thank you! 💚
It was lovely to meet you at the knit night! So pleased you managed to find the bridge! When you first recorded out of the window and I kept saying to myself just a little bit more to the right and she’ll see it 🤣
Love the name for the yarn! Can’t wait to get my hands on a skein!
Ah Sam it was so lovely to meet you all, thanks for letting me gate crash! It was a lovely evening after a lovely day :) It took me so long to find that bridge, I was beginning to believe it was all a conspiracy! 😂
Wow Ali what a great dyeing time you had I love all the yarns my personal favourite is number one blues teals & speckles is that available to buy ? Do you know ?
Iron bridge is a delightful area I visited many years ago history of the old toll bridge & at the high street end was the best bakery with great pasties & delicious flapjacks yum yum my favourite cake is FLAPJACK
Thank you for taking us along & giving us time with Kelly & Nick & Geoff 🐾🐾
Thank you Sue! I don't think that one will be available, although Nick did write down the formula when we were working it so...maybe? 💙🩵❤️ xx
Love this Ali! Went straight over to Layfamilyyarn and got myself a skein 💚
Aw! Thank you so much Concetta, I am so pleased you like it! 😊
Your yarn is glorious, well done! Such a nice touch to see it in a knitted swatch too. I'm also jealous you got to meet Jeff! The painting you used for inspiration is called Into Wonderland, and is by JoJoes Art. It is licenced to Diamond Art Club as a diamond painting.
Ah thank you Janie! I shall put a little note in the description about the artist, it's a beautiful image 🤗 xx
Thank you for the insight into yarn dyeing and yarn spinning, very interesting. Why did Kelly's husband Nic not say hello during Kelly's vlog? Look forward to seeing the knitted garment
Because it was 8:00am and the diva wont be on screen until after 9!!
It’s true - such a diva! But also I had planned to sit down with Kelly and Nick and chat with them on camera and got so carried away with having fun I totally forgot 😅
@@layfamilyyarndon’t blame him. I’m not people-worthy until after 9am either! 😂
Great job Ali. Really enjoyed watching. ❤
I met Nick at EAYF last year he’s quietly reserved but with a very witty rapport & found his eye contact amusing what a great couple so in tune together sadly missed them this year so glad he has recovered his back problems 💙💜💕
Hi Ali. What an amazing insight into the whole yarn dying process. Your inspirations were so true to you and the colour way is adorable. I’ve just treated myself to 2 skeins of wonderland walks and can’t wait to receive it ❤❤
Thanks Tina! I am so happy you like it and bought some! I will be starting a K/CAL soon, just trying to sort out the details in my head 😅 Watch out for news soon! xx
Absolutely loved this vlog and your yarn, just perfect. I’ve ordered a DK skein 💚💚💚
Thank you so much Sarah! I can't wait to see what you make! 😃 🐛 🦩🌳
I absolutely loved your yarn dyeing adventure! I’m way over here in the US (Massachusetts) so I doubt I’ll ever be able to visit Lay Family Yarn but what fun watching the dyeing process. I just ordered a skein of Wonderland Walk. It should get here just in time for my birthday 🥳 Thanks so much for taking us along!
Happy birthday in advance! I am so glad you liked the Wonderland Walk! I will be announcing a K/CAL very soon! 💚
What a great opportunity for you , and thank you for taking us along !! Beautiful colors 😍
My pleasure 😊
Loved your yarn. Thank you
Thank you Andrea! I’m so relieved people like it 😊
Your yarn is just lovely and completely captures your theme. How pretty! Thanks for taking us along!!
Aw thanks so much Jane! xx
Beautiful vlog well done, all such gorgeous calming colourways, exactly my kind of colours so i couldn't resist ordering a skien. Might use it to make a moonlit shawl 😊 xx
Oh a moonlit shawl would be such a lovely project - now I want to do that too! 😄
Beautiful yarn dying job, well done👏. Will definitely need a skein of that. I’m also going to one of the Lay Family Yarn Retreats but in October, excited for that and to see much more of the surrounding countryside.
Oh wonderful Dianne! I am there in first week of November, can't wait! I had a lovely time walking around Ironbridge, it was gorgeous xx
Just bought the yarn. Lovely colour ❤
Oh thank you Jo! 💚✨
@@LittleDropsofWonderful-Ali it's funny, I actually recently bought a jumper quantity of Secret Garden by Lay Family Yarn because I wanted a colour like the colours I see on my dog walks- I should have waited a few days. Oh well, more yarn 😁
My boys had their school residentials at iron bridge, looks beautiful. I love your choice of yarn too, that would have been my choice xx
Beautiful place for a school trip! Thank you Laura 💚
@@LittleDropsofWonderful-Ali please do a socks knit along, I have all the gear and no idea 😹
Stunning yarn I love it ❤ I managed to grab a skein whilst on holiday. I was so excited when it was announced that you was the next dyer love your vlogs. Thank you for all you do It is very much appreciated 🥰
Thank you so much Julie!! Hope you enjoyed your holiday 😃
