I love ur Irish Wolfhound. I had one for 10 & a half years. She passed away from old age. Her name was Beloved. She was a fabulous dog her whole life. A real wonderful addition to our family.
What a beautiful name.
What a wonderfully long life! 💜
Love the jumper you’re wearing. The colour is just beautiful.
For sure do the tunic dress. I live in Vancouver, Canada. similar climate to yours. I love my longer tunic sweaters to keep my thighs warm in the wind and cold and damp when out walking!!
I see yarn and doggies and I am hooked ❤ knitting on my jumper sleeve
Just found your vid while I was knitting on the couch… with my Irish wolf hound snuggled by my side ! Her name is Pyrrha and she’s 5 …😊
wow! yes to oxters (edinb-scotland). found ye whilst watching another knitting pod. yer yarns are absolutely beautiful. the colours are delicious. the sweater Zwartbles-how many skeins???? beautiful non-irish wolfhound. i'm backing up and watching the other pods and each episode is a treat. thank you.
Ohh I think I used four maybe? I've a 94cm bust, it weights 348g in total.
oxters is used here in the north-east of Scotland
Oxter. I do use it but don't know when i started using it, there are lots of ways the term could have entered my vocabulary. 🤷♀️ Most Americans do not say it.
My Zwartbles/BlueTexel yarn arrived today. You are so right about the color. It's glorious! The new Causeway colora are super fun too.... I'm not sure how i will use what I bought (😮), but it'll be something good.😅
Lovely blog Emma ❤ We also say oxters in Scotland 😊
Oxters in Scotland too 😊
Your amazing Irish Wolfhound made me click, and I’m so glad I did. Your yarns are beautiful. And the sweater you made for your little girl is stunning and is now on my list for my little boy. I've liked and subscribed and look forward to what's next. Happy knitting 💚🧶💚
Thanks for the like and the subscribe!
The blue yarn has a special meaning for you, especially since it came from your Dad. I’d think your Mother-In-Law would understand that connection to the yarn and be happy for you to make her something she picked out. My Dad is gone now and to know he appreciated my love of a craft would have meant the world to me. Your story touched my heart in a father daughter sort of way.
Funny you said that. I get that feeling about the yarn too.
Me too. Please keep it and the colour would suit you. Even though its not your usual style, its part of your journey and precious because your father bought it for you. You'll regret it if you gift that yarn. Speak to your mother in law and rethink your plans.

Cannot wait for the little Irish wool video series that you’re going to be doing 🥰 I’m so curious to learn more about it all. You’ve really inspired me over the last year or so to slow down with my knitting and to be more intentional ❤ all your knits are so beautiful and well thought out and seemingly well worn!
I just made the Miles shirt jacket by Ozetta holding two strands of your Zwartbles and Blue Texel yarn together and absolutely love it! Thanks for your inspiration
I live in Belgium and in Dutch (spoken in both Belgium and the Netherlands) the word for armpit is oksel (pronounced ox-cel). So that makes me wonder if there's a link between that and oxter 🤔
The Dutch word for armpits is 'oksels' ! 🙂
What a majestic hound!❤️🇨🇦🐾
I think it would make a great tunic/ dress! I hope you keep going.
I'm so excited about the Galway Emma! What cool project! Can't wait to try it out :)
A lovely soothing 'by the fire' watch. With thanks as always.
Yes, go for a knitted tunic/dress. I made a sleeveless one last year and love it, gonna make one with sleeves for next winter. Its the most cozy, indeed with leggings, so comfy and still classy 😂
Just discovered your show, very cool. I really love all of your yarn. The sweater you are wearing is beautiful! That color is just gorgeous.
Sweet chat and knitting and yarns!!!!perfect start to my morning 🌅!!!
Thanks emma
Elaine ❤🏠
Gorgeous as a tunic with split seam hem, white button down shirt under and long, then leggings and Doc Martens! Classic!
So excited for the Galway yarn!! I had previously watch Carol Feller’s project reviving the Galway sheep last year maybe two years ago now!!!
I tried the Galway yarn through Carol Feller’s blanket club last year. It does do cables beautifully. My opinion, it may be too scratchy for a garment. Curious of other opinions and examples you may get. I think pillows would be a good project for it. Thanks for a lovely podcast.
For some people it may be, but for some it may work well. Originally it was used for outer garments in Aran knitwear so it might work well for people who do outside work and aren't too sensitive.
Really enjoyed the podcast. The Galloway yarn sounds intriguing!
My heart is beating like a steam hammer at you showing your new yarn. I love it. Can't wait for St Patrick's Day!
!
I feel exactly the same Frances. So exciting!
Oh, yes! Your comment about a designer's language i their pattern is So True! I've just knitted a second pattern from the same designer, and it takes several efforts (each occupying rows of knitting) to make the connection with the "language"...reading a chart helped me make it understandable, and pulling a few inces out three times seems to help, too!
Yes we say arm pit in the US. That’s a lovely sweater you’ve wearing.
Very nice chat today. The Galway yarn sounds wonderful. 100% Irish yarn, sheep to skein, so lovely. I was able to get a hearth sock set from The Woolly Thistle and am anxious to cast on a pair of socks. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Watching From Prince Edward Island. We definitely say “armpits” in the Maritimes. Lovely podcast as always ❤
Thanks for a lovely podcast ❤🎉
The Galway sounds amazing! I didn’t know there were native Irish sheep, though of course it figures when I think about it 🤦🏼♀️ And a St Patrick launch is perfect! ☘️The causeway yarn is a conundrum for a spinner, how did they woollen spin Teeswater?! 🙀 I bet it gives a lovely halo though 😍 Is there a reason you don’t add to the listings what natural dye materials you’ve used? It was interesting to hear about the alder cones and different modifiers 😁
Just because it would take me time I don't currently have- it's probably alright if just dyeing with one item but I frequently mix several dye vats and it starts getting complicated as I don't always take notes!
@@woollymammothfibres sounds like you have a lot of fun! 🤩
The Galway breed news is so exciting! Really looking forward to your interviews. Thank you Emma!
Emma your yarn is so beautiful 😍 I like hearing the origin of it 😊
Thank you Emma for sharing 😊 your yarns and colors are so pretty looking forward to your new yarn
The Alder colour way is really nice 😊
I think a dress/tunic would look great. Love the marling.
Is that oxters? I’m in Tasmania, and I’ve heard that before. Love the marled look
The new yarn sounds great!😍
Oh, the Sorgenfri jacket is by a Norwegian designer. We have our own way of doing this over here, haha!
I agree - a knitted dress/tunic would be so cosy!
I'm really getting into the pattern now, I love it!
Jumper! It is so pretty or a tunic
Hiya Emma
I'm one of your many viewers. I love your channel.
Hope it is okay to ask you about your favourite yarn shop in Ireland. I hope to visit Ireland in July. I will be staying with a friend in Monaghan, but hope to visit Belfast, Galway and Dublin.
I want to bring at least one sweater quantity of Irish wool back home to Bulgaria. What can you recommend? Studio Donegal looks great.
Thank you in advance
Like your rustic approach to a natural life and pursuit of knitting events gets too complicated. Your natural yarn and dyeing look great.
Lovely vlog. Very exciting projects. Are you in the Studio ,yet? Thank you.
Lovely to listen to you. Is that a Deerhound?
Bedlinton Whippet :)
@@woollymammothfibres Very nice. I’ve always liked that cross. I have whippets and deerhounds to keep me occupied😊
Is that a dress you’re wearing or a skirt ? Love the colour next to the jumper
I say armpits in Kentucky in the USA. 🥰
I love your Dunrobin Sweater! How many skeins of your limited edition yarn did it take? Just curious, I've expirended holding yarn double can change the yardage required. Thanks for another great, cozy, episode. Alyaws nice to see you!😊
I think I used 5 but I can double check if you'd like?
If you ever feel enthusiasm to make videos about natural dying, or anything related to natural dying I would be glued to my phone watching it 😍😊
Hi Emma. Lovely video. The fire ❤ can you please share the machine you use to spin dry your knits after washing them. In my humble opinion, sip away and enjoy life 😊Please and thank you
I think it’s called ‘White Knight’ but any spin dryer like that would work
Thank you Emma!
Oxter might be related to the Dutch word “oksel”
That is really interesting!
Watching you from Québec, it is a (macaron ) in French 😊 l love your podcast and would love one day to visit Ireland. Do you deliver your wool that far?
Love the jumpers but not the constant slurping 🙃 and ads so won’t be subscribing.
May I suggest you not slurp your drink while podcasting….extremely distracting
