Last year I won 2 cones of Woolyknit from Rebecca, the Creabea. For the KAL, I think it will be so special to knit her new pattern, the Cargill, with one of those cones held with mohair 🥰
Hello Inga from Porvoo, Finland 🌻! What a lovely collaboration you have 🙂 I had to order some cones from UK just to see and test these beautiful yarns. thank you for the coupon code regards Anne
I bought a couple of cones but didn’t realize they’re almost lace weight, (not woolyknit) even though the label says fingering, it’s very thin. Do you knit just 1 strand or should I double for true fingering weight? I’ve never used coned yarn before.
Another great video! Use british yarns alot as love the feel if shetland wool. Have you watched We Grow Wild podcast another great knitter from Italy. ❤
I love Woolyknit wool. I have knitted the Bill sweater a few times for my Husband and my Son. I live in Yorkshire so love the fact that the mill is not too far away from me . My husband bought a neck light for me so that I could knit dark colours. Its a game changer ! I love to watch your podcasts , and get lots of ideas and inspiration from you . xxx
code wouldn't work for me = which makes sense now I've re-read the post and realised chunky doesn't count - but who cares at that price - I fancy 100% BW poncho
I would love to try woolyknits, however the shipping cost to the US starts at $49. This makes it unreasonable for me to try.... :( I will be watching the posts of what others are knitting. Happy Knitting!
What a lovely collaboration. I love British wool. Or any natural wool. My most favourite shawl is made of local wool I bought at a market stand. It was a joy to work with and I love wearing it.
Hi, Inga. Thanks for another great video. I went right to the WK site and checked them out. So much yummy yarn. You're right, their prices are VERY affordable. Also, your coupon code worked!
Did you really knit the sweater you're wearing with 5.5 mm needles and 4ply? It's gorgeous, but I didn't think you could knit with needles that big for 4ply!
Thank you for fab podcasts always 🧶inspirational and fun 🧶and thank you for the Wooly Knits suggestion … just placed my first order with then with your discount code so thank you so much 🙏💥💃🧶❣️❣️❣️
Any advice on how to wash wooly knit British wool would be great. You inspired me to buy their wool all the way from Minnesota, USA. I love love love your podcast!!!!
i usually fill the sink or a tub with warm water and woolsoak(the kind that doesnt need rinsing out) Then gently put in the garment and submerse it under water without to much friction so as not to felt it in the warm water, then let it sit in it until the next day, gently squeeze out the waer and lay flat to dry
Hi Inga - you know I said the code doesn't work for me - well they have sent a special offer on the chunky - which was an awesome deal anyhow - knitting a poncho for my wheelchair - I struggle to put jackets and coats on....
Hello my dear, tried to order woolyknit yarn, but there was no space to use the coupon code at the checkout. Perhaps you can rework this with your friend. Thanks a lot.
I’m so excited about this! Can you tell me the difference between the four ply Holst Garn supersoft and the 4 ply British Wool? Does the British wool have the spinning oil still on it? I am also curious if you know where I can buy silk mohair on a cone. I absolutely love using cone yarn and want to find more
I havent noticed any spinning oil on woolyknit cones myself and i have a few😁 i also find the yarn more hairy if that makes sence. I dont know of any mohair cones but id love that myself😍 maybe kfo has some?
I would suggest that the latter would be a more sustainable option since British breeds are reared in many places all over the world, and therefore it would be possible to source yarn locally rather than have it shipped from overseas.
I bought the cherry red in the 4ply I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 and have never heard of woolyknits. But such a good price hoping the red will look nice for Christmas ❤ 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Thank you, Inga and Woolly Knit. I have just placed an order. I am excited for my yarn but am worried about the duty fee lol. I'm going to be a copycat and knit the Ranunculus in light grey neutral :)
I wonder if you could tell about the differences you see between the wools of different british wool manufacturers: woolknits, j.c.rennie (I remember you used yarns from them), donegal yarns (you know them?) etc. - what do you know, what you heard, how do you feel the yarn when you working with, what it looks like as skein/cone and what as FO, how it is feel wearing, how lasting. I have not tried any British wool yet (I am a newbie in knitting), and in Poland where I live, there is not much available. So I would like to order, but I cannot afford to try everything and I would like to choose well, so that I feel encouraged to continue my adventure with British or more generally - rustic products :)
I agree beautiful coloured yarns! I’ll have a look as you suggested after all I’m in the Uk 🇬🇧! Love all yarns so gorgeous! Thank you Inga lovely to see you and listening to you! Xx 💜🧶💜
This is such a great collaboration with Wooly Knits. My goodness they only sent you a Lot of yarn. You will make some wonderful garments and accessories. I am going to order and have the yarn sent to Germany to a friend and she can bring it out to South Africa in October or November.
Just found your channel via Wooly Knits. This will be my first time ordering from them. You and Rebecca from Crea Bea have given me the courage to knit my first sweater, so this has come at the perfect time.
I have a hank of humbug tweed from WoolyKnit that is ready to become a pair of mitten (to start with). I also recently finished a half-sleeve raglan pullover in their jet black 4-ply, held-double. It created a beautiful, squishy but not too thick fabric! I'm excited for this MAL!!
Thank you for this Inga and Woolyknits! I tried a yarn cone for the first time after several of your episodes. I AM hooked! I added to my cone stash! Thank you so much! ClaudiaSJI
What an exciting collaboration! I‘ve been catching up on your podcast the last couple of months while beginning my knitting journey. Super excited to be all caught up just in time for this collab! So it is kinda sad to have to wait for new episodes instead of having lots of backup. :D
I've just finished my first sweater in Celtic green, love the colour. Love woolyknit yarn think it's the burnt orange for the next one. Thanks for the inspiration
I love the concept of actually using British wool - and Irish wool for that matter - and any other countries wool where they destroy their own wool - eg burn it in power stations, etc - and then import wool to knit with - makes no sense to me
Hi Inga! Love you podcast! I’m looking for a brown and I see you have the WK cinnamon brown. Is it super rust looking in person? I am definitely looking for a brown and it looks very brown in your podcast. How browny brown is it? Am I making sense?😂🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
Thank you Inga for the info on Woolyknit and I'm already contemplating my purchase! I plan to knit your Selbu Cowl, the pattern of which I ordered a few years ago. I'd love to make this into a wide headband, what are your suggestions for sizing? Should I just go down a needle size or should I reduce a repeat? Thank you for always inspiring podcasts. You are a delight and joy to watch while I knit. Just can't figure out how you get so much done with both your medical profession and your knitting!
Inga you are a bad influence. I was determined not to buy any more yarn even with a discount code. And I have just ordered two Woolyknit Aran cones 🤣 I shall make the Be Thankful Cardigan by Lily Kate France. Thanks as ever for your wonderful inspiration and great company 💕
wow, what a great excuse to get a bunch of woolyknit yarn !! haha i actually maybe last year bought two £10 cones of 500g of their linen cotton blend & i just used some of it making a susan crawford vintage pattern which was nice... & some kerchiefs too (i actually just made my first knitting podcast episode so if u wanna check that out i talk a little about it there!! buut no pressure ofc!!) so i might use that to make something, but i also might grab some british wool & use a cone to knit a skirt?! especially because that makes it much less expensive considering how much yarn is needed for skirts !! anyway this is rly cool, i'm excited to see what you make! i do have some other kinds of british wool i could use too, might make some mittens from that mayybe!
Yay!! I'm going to make sweater no18 in the color harvest from woolyknit! I was missing that color in your haul. It is a really beautiful autumn color 🤩 Swatching today for it! 🎃🍁🍂
Is the cone yarn more round or fuzzy? I am just finishing a sweater with a light halo. Next cast on will be a rounder yarn. I didn't know merino was not british. I thought all the american sheep came from britain first. But nope, merino is a spanish. Thomas Jefferson used to keep merinos on the White House lawn and at Monticello. Aparently the rams were feisty
My half and half wrap is in charcoal gray and light pink and is fabulous. It is nearly finished. I got delivery to the US and it was reasonable and surprisingly quick. The yardage is endless and the yarn is not itchy but is rustic. I blooms beautifully and is very forgiving. I plan to make a color work sweater for my husband with charcoal grey held double and I need to choose a contrast color. So, off to shop. Thanks Inga
I am sooo excited! I bought a cone of deep purple and a pink for a colorwork sweater! Thinking Garden Gate! Great prices! I have just started my sweater journey so wish me luck! Your podcast is so inspirational! Thank you so much for the coupon code!!
Those cones look like they're nice to work with, I definitely will put in an order to make a cardigan or shawl. I'm in Canada so it will take awhile to receive it and will more than likely miss the deadlines but as Inga says, "We shall see " 😊
Thank you for letting me know about the British Wool just in time for my visit to my daughter in London😀 I've already but some in my basket. But I can't find one of the yarns you showed, the Dark apple green. Is that British wool or Merino? I'l also going to The knitting and stitching show at Alexandra Pallas. So I'm sure there will be a lot of yarn and fabric to bring home😂😂
@@knittingtraditions ok. I tried to use your coupon code, but something happend when I payed, so I lost the discount. I sent an e-mail, and they added a 200 g cone with no charge😄 That's good service😍 can't wait to get it. I'l be in London for a week from wednesday
@@knittingtraditions It is a matter of shipping cost, but also a matter of ecology, I try to buy local as much as possible. If I come to Europe, then I will stock a lot of European Yarns, promise. Or I could find English yarn here that as already benn imported anyways...
Excited for this! At first I wasn't planning on getting any due to shipping costs but even with added shipping, the cost is incredibly reasonable. I'm second-guessing my math because it seems too good to be true :D 1800g for $100 with your discount code, shipping included...that's the equivalent of eighteen 100g hanks for $5.50 each. Thank you so much Inga & Woolyknit for doing this!! How would you say the Woolyknit fingering feels compared to Tukuwool fingering?
Umm, I have no control. 🫣 I just got two cones of the Loden green, oh my it's yummy. The burgundy red is a gorgeous color for you! Thank you and excited to play along. Also, just love you watching you and your knitting. Always majws my day so much better. Have a wonderful say/evening 😊
Wonderful knit a sweater or other things knit along! British wool is warm! The sweater you have on is gorgeous!
I found my way here via Woolyknit and I so pleased I did😊.
Last year I won 2 cones of Woolyknit from Rebecca, the Creabea. For the KAL, I think it will be so special to knit her new pattern, the Cargill, with one of those cones held with mohair 🥰

These bloom alot so i have held it single no problem, ive also now held it with silk mohair and its lovely😄

Loving that Ranunculus! 😘

When you click checkout there is an option to enter the coupon om the very top of the page😁
if I would use my nice oniondyed bluefaced leicester yarn, would that count? Didn´t buy it in england but the sheep breed is a brtish breed
Yes thats fine
Yes! What a wonderful Start in the Week with you. :)
Great kick off, Inga! Beautiful sweater and lovely inspiration! ❤
I have some West Yorkshire Spinners yarn. It’s sick yarn and will enter on Instagram when I make some progress.
Love the tweedy yarn.

Hi question about the KAL, by British wool, do you mean specifically wool that is from Britain, or wool from British breeds regardless of origin?
I would suggest that the latter would be a more sustainable option since British breeds are reared in many places all over the world, and therefore it would be possible to source yarn locally rather than have it shipped from overseas.
British breeds is ok😁
Hi Inge from Brussels 🎉
How exciting! Loving the beautiful sweater!
I bought the cherry red in the 4ply I’m from the uk 🇬🇧 and have never heard of woolyknits. But such a good price hoping the red will look nice for Christmas ❤ 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Where do you recomend to buy english wool in cones?
Id recomend getting some from woolyknit as they have the discount code INGA20 and ship internationally;)
What an exciting collaboration! I‘ve been catching up on your podcast the last couple of months while beginning my knitting journey. Super excited to be all caught up just in time for this collab! So it is kinda sad to have to wait for new episodes instead of having lots of backup. :D
What gorgeous yarn such a shame I’m sensitive to wool, the lilac mauve is stunning. Look forward to seeing your lovely creations xx
Hi Inga x holding the pine green and blue green together would be really pretty for that cardigan you like xx
I've just finished my first sweater in Celtic green, love the colour. Love woolyknit yarn think it's the burnt orange for the next one. Thanks for the inspiration

Dark apple green is the same colour as your wall
Will Shetland wool qualify?

Its an interesting brown hehe its heathered sonit has alot of tones to it its a warm brown but not super rusty
Add some grey mohair to the lilac

The selbu cowl doesnt work with reducing repeats as its only two repeats so to make it smaller youl have to make the gauge tigheter or felt it😄

Just popped onto Woolyknits and I’m over the moon that I can get 100% wool Aran that I can afford yeh ❤ thanks x
Your so welcome😘
Is the makealong for hand-knitting only or could it be Crochet or machine knitting too?
Anything craftsy id say is ok😄

Hi Inga, is it allowed to add Italian mohair to the British wool? Thank you!!!!!
Ye syes!
What is the sweater name that you are considering making with the merino natural? I want to look it up if it is available in English. Thank you.
Ilha, its in english😁

I really like this celebration of English wool, being from Cannada makes it much less accessible though. Happy knitting !
If you can find any british breed yarns that counts;) but its alot more affordable even with shipping then many other yarns i have found😁
@@knittingtraditions It is a matter of shipping cost, but also a matter of ecology, I try to buy local as much as possible. If I come to Europe, then I will stock a lot of European Yarns, promise. Or I could find English yarn here that as already benn imported anyways...
Thank you for the introduction of the wool. Does the wool contain oil from the sheep and mfg process?
I believe it still has some lanolin but i havent noticed any spinning oil which pther cones i have used often have😁
Thank you looks like I will order some next week. I want to try cones and hanks in the “April cardigan.”
Excited for this! At first I wasn't planning on getting any due to shipping costs but even with added shipping, the cost is incredibly reasonable. I'm second-guessing my math because it seems too good to be true :D

How would you say the Woolyknit fingering feels compared to Tukuwool fingering?
Tukuwool is softer, this is more hairy
