Very interesting podcast. It demonstrates why designers should be paid fairly because of the sheer effort involved in designing.
Thank you!
I love Regia sock yarn especially in the nature colour palettes ~ I loved the seagull
Thank you Arne and Carlos. I can’t stop knitting your original designs. They are so intricate and detailed and I call them my cheat fairisle socks only a gazillion times better🌺
Thank you Olga!
I really enjoyed learning about the design process for these sock yarns. You have such a wonderful sense of color and design and that’s what makes your Regia yarns so striking. Thanks!
You are welcome!
I absolutely love this episode. So often we just buy a yarn and never give any thought to what’s behind the design. Now I know and I’ll never look at a yarn in the same away again. Thanks, Arne & Carlos.
You are welcome Gloria!

I wish they'd bring back that Edvard Munch Collection - love The Scream yarn colorway. Thanks again for a fun episode!
Those colours are still available
@@ARNECARLOS Where can you get them?
Amy Mikelson they are available all over the world. Sorry we can’t be more specific, but any good local yarn store that sells premium yarns is likely to sell Regia.
@@ARNECARLOS thank you so much for this information. Take care!
@@ARNECARLOS Schachenmayr actually stopped printing some of the coulors ;-(((
it was interesting hearing about how the yarn is printed (and not dyed). i always wondered how they managed to dye colorways with such specific, consistent sequences of colors, but it makes perfect sense that it was printed. it would be nice to go to the factory one day and get a 'behind the scene' look at that part of the process. i love your "the Scream" colorway.
Yes, hopefully we might be able to show you that some day.
Dear Arne and Carlos,
Thank you for such an interesting video...it is fascinating to learn about the link between your creative ideas and the technology which develops your inspiration into these beautiful yarns.
I have such horrid memories of learning to knit socks in school that I have never attempted to make a pair of socks since! But I think you have persuaded me to try ...the colourway inspired by ‘The Scream’ is my favourite...., but I liked them all. (And although seagulls can be a nuisance, the colouring of their feathers is beautiful too, especially on the young gulls..fabulous patterns of fawns and browns).Best Wishes to you both. I look forward to your next video.
Try this video - th-cam.com/video/n51ctcB8Tdg/w-d-xo.html
it’s a German children’s TV-Programm, they explain and show how tho yarn is printed.😀
@@nupsiwulst9946 The video you posted the link to is wonderful! You can see the whole process of printing colors onto sock yarn. The machinery is fascinating. Audio is in German, but if you don't speak it there shouldn't be a problem understanding what is going on. Thank you so much!
Perhaps you could post the link again so it's a separate comment instead of just a reply. That way it will be at the forefront of the Comment section where more people will see it.
Nupsi Wuist what a great video. Thank you
I just love the two of you. Your creative spirits are like sunshine! I love how much I learn from you, but even more how much I enjoy sharing your company for an episode.
Thank you Andrea!
Love the original Munch yarn. Wish beautiful yarns were never discontinued. Especially after hearing how much work goes into them!
Some things can't last forever.
Carlos looks so fancy in his sunglasses! Also re:making fish: fast forward 6 months to when Arne buys all the fish /crab from the fish van.
So a person can wear knitted socks the same pattern as their sweater! How refreshing for Arne to admit he doesn't remember everything . I am that way too and my husband remembers like a computer.
😂
Your sock yarns are so much fun to work with and they always turn out so well, (regardless of knitting mistakes😎)
Two thumbs up for The Scream! Blown away by your artistic par excellence in all of the designs.
They are all wonderful, Reggia has a great product, but I do find that I like the art inspired ones the best. Would love to knit the scream and the self portrait.
Thank you Suzanne!
Printed yarn in 7 colors...you guys are blowing my mind! Brilliant! Thank you. Sending love. 😎💞
You are welcome.
Thank you for a very interesting video.
I am a Regia fan and to see and hear who the designs are figured out is amazing and will look at the designs with different eyes.
I can't remember what designs I have knitted because all my socks are gifts.
For me getting the stripes of each sock to match is great fun. I knit a swatch and just keep on knitting until I see the repeat of the pattern. Socks just finished the repeat was 7 cm apart.
My daughter thinks I am weird, but for me this is enjoying my sock knitting.
Thanks again and I will buy some of your designs in future.
That sounds like a lot of fun!
I would love more programs about design and color!
Socks are my absolute favorite thing to knit. And your sock yarn is the only yarn that I like to use. Thank you for this video - I loved hearing about how you guys create the designs. 🥰
You are welcome!
You clever chaps. I wondered about sock yarn color designs. All answered now😊
Neat!
Thank you both for explaining the story of Regia yarn so well. Loved it. Cheers 💕😍😊❤️🥰😘
Love love love your Regia collections. I’ve knitted too many to count. Thanks for sharing all your genius!
You are welcome, thank you for watching and supporting us!
The yarns are all beautiful I think the new collection the colours are stunning and more adventurous, the mountains and fjords blues are so alive, fun to knit and wear.
I love the Pairfect yarns you have designed, and made several pairs using the different patterns. The sweater pattern you show here in progress was given to one of my coworkers and he was so happy to receive those socks! The yarn is delightful to work with because you are always seeing the pattern developing as you work. Thank you for all of the work you and the folks at Regia have put into this project. I am not personally able to wear wool but am able to knit with it thankfully.
I love knitting socks with your yarn. I don't have a favourite because each time I think " wow". The colours of your home and garden would be fun in sock colourways. This was a fascinating episode, thank you.
You are welcome!
Very interesting and entertaining. Carlos, you are never boring, really, I could listen to you all day! Personally, I love the nature-inspired designs.
Thank you Minda!
Loved your explanation on how the yarn was made from your imagination. Yes, Carlos you never can have too many ( two drawers ) of handmade socks! Someone asked how much it cost to knit a pair of socks. Told me to just go to a store an buy a bag of socks to "get more bang for my buck." My answer was its customized to fit my foot. They're a dream to wear. An it recyclable! You can't do that with manufactured socks after 6 months.
The scream !!!!!for socks , very interesting talk thank you so much such a pleasure to see you both on my phone on a Sunday so enjoyed it immensely bless you , that naughty seagull chatting above you both , it made me giggle xx
😀
love the little motifs and details on the Edward Munch collection best. I agree, I never get tired of knitting socks!
It is always fun to start a new pair!
Thanks for explaining your design process. Regia makes good quality yarn that I have never been disappointed knitting with. I like you nature colors the best.
Thank you Sunny!
Love the original collection soooo much. I have knit every one! Thank you for sharing about your process of designing the sock yarn.
I love the designs based on the Munch museum. So much so, I purchased every colorway!
Thank you for supporting us.
I love your sock yarn and am very happy to hear that you do consider how different sock sizes will look. My socks are 60 stitches around.
Thank you Christine!
I love all your yarns, but I like the yarn inspired by nature the best.
Thank you!
So interesting the process of designing these patterns. It never occurred to me that yarns were ‘printed’ I always assumed that they were dyed. And that the design process is so technical.
I think your trip is inspiring some designs... red buildings, wooden church, lambs, dying process, and drying racks. There is so much to work with in2020.
I liked this episode very much. I always enjoy hearing about the creative process of a knitting pattern or a yarn. My favorite is the scream. I found this design so beautiful and consistent to the painting. Love it
I love the nature yarns. I love the colors and organic patterns. It is relaxing to knitt with colors from beautiful Scandinavia ❤🇸🇪🇳🇴🇩🇰
Thank you!
Thank you so much for explaining how the sock yarn is designed and the amazing process. Very fascinating. I never knew that you are instrumental in the pattern and colors.
I like the Regia sock yarns designed from Nature, Mountains and Fjiors
Thank you Becky!
I love the mountains and fjords but I love the sock yarn from “scream”.
Love knitting with Regia! Bought two colorways, and had to knit them as soon as they arrived! Beautiful!!
Thank you for that inside information on how your Regia socks are designed. Personally, I love them all, but I do love the art series the best. Love to see another collection.
Thank you Pat.
This is so awesome - I have always wondered how these yarns are designed. I love the Scream design. Thank you!
Fascinating video. What a wonderful job that must be to design the sock yarn. I love Regia yarn! They make very good sock yarn. Thank you for sharing what you do.
Love this episode! Very interesting to learn the design process for your yarn lines. The seagull was a cute addition. I would love to knit socks from a line based on your garden.
Thank you Mary!
This is fascination and seems like something I’d love to do. I’m an Architect and Interior Designer - love design and color selection!
Before watching I would have said I love the yarn based on nature. Once described the inspiration from specific works of art, I love those as well. It just makes knitting with these yarns so much fun to know your thinking and considerations while designing them. A true win, win!
😀
Holiday colors would be nice! Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Valentines. I would have to buy at least one of each for myself but then more for gifts!
😀
Never knew how much thought goes into this sock yarn! Great job guys! The yarn is miraculous!
Thank you!
I enjoyed the techniques you used to get the colors for your sock yarn and how you get it translated to your yarn. Very informative. I think everyone enjoys it too. Thank you for sharing. It was interesting and fascinating.
We are glad you liked it.
Oh my goodness! How interesting! What talents you two enjoy and share! Love!
Thank you Judith!
Thank you for showing us how your inspirations are turned into yarn, but even more interesting is how your design is processed into yarn. I didn't know how the yarn was able to do those designs. I like the ones from nature most but the one with a lot of orange was nice too. But blue is my favorite color with pops of color.
Thank you Elise.
I love this video! I had no idea that so much technology and design was put into making these beautiful patterned sock yarns. I love the nature inspired designs.
It takes quite a bit of work!
So very interesting. You both are true artists and engineers. Thank you for sharing your talents.
A fascinating look at how sock patterns are designed. I hadn't even given a thought to the fact that design even came into play having only used the stripe/ dot yarns. I'm going to make a concerted effort to look for Arne& Carlos patterns from now on. Love you guys!
Thank you Laura!
Fascinating!!! Carlos, you (and Arne) could never be boring. Thank you for explaining the magic behind the patterns.
Can’t believe it’s a year ago! Looks beautiful place and lovely sunny day! Love the yarns I’ve seen it in my local yarn shop! Gorgeous colours magnificent! Xx 😘🧶😘
Thank you so much!
I save all my sock yarn leftovers, including the yellow section from Regia. During lockdown, I knitted it all into a pair of socks, using the helix method with two colours on the go at once. I also knitted them “two at a time”, so I could use every scrap, and “magic loop”, which was a new challenge. I did end up in a tangle from time to time. I ended up with a beautiful, if a bit zany, pair of socks. My daughter described them as “sisters, not twins”; they are also known as my “lockdown socks”..... oooops, now I don’t have any darning yarn.....time to buy some new sock yarn....”Mountains and Fjords” in blue, I think. Thank you for explaining about the maths/science behind your sock yarns....fascinating. 🤓
CathAfloat funny to read your comment as I also knit with socks with scraps. Different colored cuff, toe and heels. Biggest problem is connecting superwash threads, they don’t felt and sometimes come loose...always something.
Lisa McInnis Thrifty, through and through! I always sew in my ends....never tried felting them, though it sounds like it doesn’t always work. I am having a go at Arne & Carlos’ “GAUTE - Spiral socks with no heel”. I did a star toe, ie a non directional toe, so that they can be worn any which way, so the “heel” area won’t wear out so quickly - if that makes sense. 🤓
What a great episode. And as always with your wonderful mix of interesting information, humour, and the special , charming Arne-Carlos deviating from the topic ;-)
My favorite of your sock yarns are the first ones, which I now know are inspired by Munch.
And there was no end to my delight, when you showed the "scream" yarn, because I am wearing socks made from that right now ! I also made several pairs from "the Self-portrait". And two other Munchs, where I do not know the names : one which is mainly green and light blue/light grey with red, and - the one I love most - is the very colourful one with red, orange, and yellow, a little sky-blue, and stripes of the almost-white with almost-black dots . I think I have knitted 20 pairs of that, and fortunately still have more than a kg left of it.
But now I see the one with the tall pattern ( Was it called Gargia ?) , I will surely have to try that also !!!!
I enjoy learning new things. Plus when you share we see your personalities come out. Like the art inspired socks.
Thank you Luann, never stop learning.
great that you attempt to teach all of us what the process is. I really appreciate this.
Thank you!
I have always wondered how this was done. Thank you! I just loved the SCREAM and the one inspired by the sweater that had the pink in it.
I really liked the Edvard Munch paintings that inspired sock colors, and the pink and blue socks!! It's very cool how you keep your inspirations for designs in Norway. Waving Bye!
Waving back!
Love the ones inspired by artwork! Especially enjoy the pairfect sock yarns, so fun!
Thank you Rose!
This video was Fascinating! Loved learning about this process. The “Scream” color way is beautiful. Thank you for all your creative work.
You are welcome!
This episode was abolutely fascinating - thanks so much.
You are welcome!
A friend of mine gave me a ball of this because the colors reminded her of me. So fun to learn how much thought and design goes into the yarn. thanks for sharing!
You are welcome, thank you for watching.
So much thought and planning goes into the yarn, no wonder the results are so amazing. Thank you for what you do.
You are welcome!
Love your sock yarn and the easiest sock in the world pattern. Thank you👍🧦
Thank you!
Loved learning from you! So enjoy all your podcasts.
Carlos and arne that video was really enjoyable. I really like to learn the nuts and bolts of the design. Thank you.
Love them all -but think for my first pair i will do the blue mountains and fjords.
Thank you!
Arne and Carlos as always I really enjoyed your videos . I'm glad to see that you are really enjoying different sceneries .
Thank you Vida!
Was impressed by the process, not as simple as one might expect. You both bring your individual talents to the table in collaboration for the final product. Love how you get your inspiration. The bird with the blood-curdling scream, surely Carlos won’t be missing them. Well-tanned and rested, this trip has been good for your souls.
Blue and Orange pallette is lovely as well as chocolate and orange and green.artwork inspiration I think is my favorite. Brambleknits
Thank you!
This was so interesting,thankyou for putting the effort in and keeping us all so interested
Hello to you both. I very much enjoy your yarns and I was fascinated to sit and watch how you get your inspiration. As a Shetlander I appreciate colours of nature, the ever-changing sky and sea, the bright gold sun hanging over patchwork fields. My favourite is Self Portrait. I just 'got it' right away and it's beautiful. Thank you for all the hard work
You are welcome! Thank you for watching.
Love the yarns inspired by paintings. Have you thought of doing ones by van Gogh?
That was a great explanation of your process. Thank You. I have knit with the Regia sock yarn. Loved it. It's been awhile since I used it so I don't recall if it was your design or not. I hope Regia continues to use your designs. You're wonderfully creative!
you are a lovely team - and get lovely results
Thank you again for another very informative and fun video. This one will also help me appreciate colors in paintings when I am able to resume going to museums. Continue to enjoy your vacation!
You aswell and hopefully we can all do some museum outings soon.
Fabulous video! You two are always a delight to sit with 🧶learn your passion for knitting & textiles ❤️
Thank you!
Love ❤️ that you understand the colour wheel
👍🏻
The Scream is one of my favourites 🤗
😱
Absolutely love this yarn. Bought 2 different color skeins and best yarn I've knitted with so far. Colors are so well coordinated together. TY
They are all great Thank you for sharing your artistic abilities
Wonderfully impressive 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
Thank you Marina.
I love the Regia yarns you have designed. My favorite one was the from your original group, the one you said was from the self portrait - I absolutely love those colors. I have not kept count as to how many socks I have knitted with the Regia yarn, but I have knitted many for myself and as gifts for friends. Not only are the colors beautiful, but I love the quality of the yarn. Thank you for sharing your design process.
You are welcome!
Every pair of socks I have knitted using your sock yarns ALWAYS receive great comments when I photograph the socks additionally those I keep and wear myself. And they make great gloves (I use a solid Regia yarn for the fingers and thumb). Keep inspired and keep creating!
Great idea for gloves!
Love the mountains and fjords!
Thank you!
It feels like home whenever you two are on. Thank you for sharing you and your beautiful gifts with all of us.
You are welcome!
I love to keep them with me to pick up and knit where ever I am. I like the nature mountains and fjords, but my favorite is the self portrait colors from the painting. Maybe colors of Lofoten will be next ! Love the colors of the socks. Thank you.
You are welcome!
Wow it is much more complicated than I imagined so thankyou both for explaining the process so well. I bought Fall Night and crocheted a scarf in Granny squares, it turned out so well, I love it, it's completely unique to me as once the Granny squares were finished I chose where, and in what order they would be joined together, so no one else could replicate this... I had so much fun making this I'm going to do another one. 👍😍 PS ... What fab weather you're having 😎🌞 best regards Christinengland
The weather has been amazing and glad you are enjoying our yarn.
Another really interesting episode. I have finished my first pair of Pairfect socks and had to source a second ball from England (I’m on the west coast of Canada) because a friend commissioned me to make a pair for her husband! Now I am going to be on the hunt for more. I love the Munch and Fjords and Mountains!
Ich hatte Sockenwolle Regia Pairfect Arne & Carlos gekauft!!! Super!!!
👍
Very interesting on how these yarns are designed. Love the explanation and you two are very talented.
Thank you for listening!
Very interesting to understand your inspirations and the tech involved in making these yarns. I love the colors inspired by nature. Thanks for sharing 👏
You are welcome!
Fascinating to see how it all works. I got the set a while back of Winter Night, Fall Night, Summer Night, etc. and knit them, I think back in 2016. Love them!
Thank you Jeanne.
I love The Scream yarn. Cannot wait to try it.
Thank you so much for the wonderful episode. It was so interesting to learn how your process works from the first design inspiration (paintings! Costumes! Landscape! Sweaters!) to working with engineers (printing color! Back and forth to fine tune! Planning socks in so many stitch counts! Choosing perfect colors!)and fun to see yarns that I use and love. I have knit The Scream and I have just received a skein of mountains and fiords in the sunset/storm colorway. The Scream is my favorite colorway ever used - and I knit a lot of socks. I knit them during lockdown, and the wonderful orange and yellow and complex pattern were such fun and so happy and uplifting. I loved all the cheerful colors and the story behind them. I love Regia Arne and Carlos yarn!
