Friends!!! I forgot to go back and talk about my favorite knit picks ball winder!! Tomorrow I promise!
Good because o need to buy one and trying to decide - I hear there is also one with an electronic pedal as well ? ( it’s purple don’t know the brand ) etoki maybe ? And Stan woods cost anywhere from $80 up to 100 I believe.
Juan I have been caking up my yarn all day 😊
Certainly not a problem. We know that Knit Picks is the best. ;)
I love yarn caking! Watching you, or doing it myself, it's relaxing and yarn cakes are beautiful and more fun than skeins. I love it! 💕💕💕
The Stanwood is my new one as well and I love the size and ease to you it 😊
My mom, who passed away in 1994, was extremely talented in all the needle arts (sewing, embroidery, knitting, crocheting, quilting). As I recall, I think she used mostly medium worsted weight yarn, but I can’t remember if it was wool, cotton, acrylic, or all three. If she were still with us, I would wheel her around Joann (she would be almost 96!) and show her all the new yarns and fabrics. It would blow her mind!!
I was born in 1947. The older yarns is what I worked with. I liked the colors better then than now.
I was born in in 1964 and remember the 5 and dime stores having lots of inexpensive yarn
I was thinking of the Ben Franklin Stores, if you lived around any. They were little stores that were similar to convenient type stores.
Juan, I'm 62 and I can tell you I personally love the "vintage" yarns. Especially the colorful ones. Yours are beautiful made into cakes.
Me too. What Month were you born. I was October around Halloween time (19th). I love those other yarns too.
Watching a video by Juan is like sitting and having a chat with an old friend.
I agree. ❤
There is just something amazing about caking yarns. It's like the colors pop more in a cake. This was a lot of fun to watch. 🥰
Yarns aren't necessarily better. They're just beautifully different. We have so many more choices. Though I seem to remember all yarns were center. Just for reference, I'm 84. I've been knitting and crocheting for a long time. My mom and grandmother both crocheted. I think I learned from them. I taught myself how to knit. I don't knit anymore, I grip the needles when . my arthritic hands hurt. So, I stick to crochet where I just hold and don't grip the hook. Crocheting makes me happy. I crochet newborn hats for my local hospital's nursery. They're a nice keepsake of They're stay. Over the last 2 years, I've made nearly a thousand. I love watching you cake up yarn. I got the purple winder and am looking forward to do the same. What's exciting is that all cakes are center pull. Thanks for chatting with us, I love all the things. ❤
Something about you saying a skein was “abandoned” made me sad for all the forgotten yarns out there 😂😂. I love everything about that star brites colorway! ♥️
Yes soft touch on the yarn and coffee!!! Always coffee!!!! Great day!!!
This is my kind of video. I listen while I am working. ❤
Hi Juan, again thanks for keeping me company while working on my WIP. Making a meshy top for my 13 year old great niece, she is sending me pictures of clothing she would like me to make for her. I will need a month of Sundays to complete her wardrobe.
I am 70 and I think the color was better back in the day
I was born in 1952 and I like today's yarns MUCH better. The yarn of the 50's felt like Astro turf. Lol. I started crocheting at 6 years old.
I was born in 51 and I love all the new yarns!
I'm 62, born July 1961. I'm officially VINTAGE now ... I remember many of these yarns and colorways 😂 ... thanks for THAT, Juan 😅😅😅😊. I think our choices and materials are much better now, but because I crochet, knit, sew, and quilt, I am sad that it's so tricky to make beautiful things out of very inexpensive materials. Because THAT is the core history of fiber works. It was great being able to be $ poor and gift something amazing. Still possible, but much harder.
So many beautiful colors!!!!
Thanks for giving me something to watch while I cake up a big Pound of Love "blob!"
I love the cake videos so much fun
Fun like always ❤
I think today's yarns are better than the vintage yarns. The vintage yarn colors are pretty, but I prefer the fibers we have today. I am only 4 years older than you 😊
In the 70s I was taught to knit with Phentex yarn which was so stiff & scratchy but needed to make a scarf in order to achieve my "knitting badge" when I was a Brownie in Girl Guides. That yarn turned me off completely until I was 15 & my 90 year young Grandmother taught me to crochet with much nicer yarn, but cant remember what brand. From that experience today's yarn is evolving better & better. Which creates yarn obsessions with us all 😂
Thank you for all the things! Have a beautiful weekend!❤😊
Hi Juan! 👋 A friend of my Mom is decluttering, and that includes yarn. The lady is sharing the good stuff with others, and whatever is left will come to me. I told my Mom I don't care if it's little balls of scrap! I am so excited and hope some is older. 😊
Coffee and cake sound so inviting!! I'm glad I stayed!! Thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening 🥰
Hi @juantheyarnaddict. Well I was BORN in 1959! I started crocheting when I was about 10. That soft soft fuzzy pastel yarn, I can totally remember using. I crocheted off & on till now. Our youngest daughter passed away 8-25-20. Do depressed. Terrible. Then I came across a hook & yarn & thought I’d just fiddle. I found TH-cam & “ALL THE THINGS”. Fell in love with crocheting more than I ever did. Everyone noticed I changed for the better. It gave me something to think about, what I’m making, what I want to make, yarns to try, yarns I have to get. Etc. But I think your question about yarn is that us older people just get as excited as you young ones at new yarn. We have our favorites of course. My problem is that we live 2hrs from a Walmart, 4-5 hrs from a Joanne or Michaels, etc. So all my yarn is ordered online when I see a sale. (On disability). So watching your yarn reviews help so so much. I can just tell that I would or wouldn’t like the yarn from the review. So thank you for that. Totally enjoy your channel & of course your darling little mommy. Enjoy every minute you have with her. I hope you have a good day. I hope you see this. Have been down with health problems a few days, so just catching up with your videos. Oh 9 days behind. Guess I know what I’ll be watching the rest of the day. 🧶. ❤
Love the pink for a girl cardigan love it
hiya juan! i look forward to cake and coffee as well as wiwj. todays yarns are better in many ways. have a terrific weekend!
Enjoy these videos. I like seeing all the yarn and their colorways!!
I loved going to Woolworth's with my mom and my grandma!😊
I am loving these caking videos I can sit and watch til I fall asleep keep em coming Juan oh wait I just realized this isn’t the same winder 😮and different table go head Juan
You are so much fun! I feel like you’d be a great friend to sip coffee, work on a WIP, and spill some tea with.
Because we drink coffee and spill tea, not the other way around 🤣
Gotta get one of those ball winders...I prefer to work with my yarn caked too. Love ya...hugs to Wilma😊.
I’m crocheting with wool right now! So I really enjoy watching your videos while I’m crocheting! I say recipes too! Just do all the things and we will follow!
Shhh, don't tell anyone, but I was watching you on my way to work, lol. Starts my day with a smile. Thanks, Juan! Happy Friday! Big hugs!
I love watching & learning from You Juan 💜🌞
My earliest memory of yarn is “ Phentex” from the 60’s. My grandma knit 100’s of pairs of slippers with it. It’s made of 100% Olefin fiber, has no stretch and doesn’t shrink. I’ve never seen it sold in any stores but apparently Yarnspirations still sells it.
There are fewer and fewer brick and mortar stores that sell yarn which is sad but unlike my Grandma, I have the internet and can buy any kind of fiber from anywhere in the world.
Love watching you wind the Vintage cakes. Those colors are amazing. I love them. ❤ I can't wait to see what your finished blanket will look like. 😍
Am planning on going to buy a Yarn Winder tomorrow. 😊
Evening juan,say hello to you're mom from me,I love to watch you and listen to you when I work on my granny blanket
Hi Juan..sitting here watching you wind yarn. I remember watching Crystal (BOD) cake up yarn. She had some sort of attachment that would attach to the winder and then they used a drill to wind it. It was pretty entertaining and funny 😆🧶
I'm commenting as I'm watching. The first cake is so beautiful! I can confirm that applying tension makes a more compact cake. The first one I ever made was a fluffy little nugget with very little yardage. I gave the second one a little pinch and got easily twice as much on there.
I love these cake-y videos. I never knew how stunning and varied all this vintage yarn could be, and I need to get some for myself at some point!
I Love the star brights from red heart first time ive seen them...closest i can find to them is the new bitty stripes and i think the color was crayon box ..dont hold me to that but i think thats what it was called i cant wait for them to get here...thank you Juan for opening your world to us all!!! sending love and prayers
Hi Juan I have a lot of vintage yarn. It definitely stands the test of time. My favorite is baby vintage yarn sayvelle acrylic with the rayon pearlescent strand wrapped around it. I love when you babble about all the things. 🤣I like the little thing you have with the pink yarn 🙏🏽💜🫂
Beautiful cakes 🤗☺️
Love it 😊
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
Hi juan, I hope you don't mind me telling you this but your grandma and aunt would say, do what you love juan!. Just be yourself!. Do not change for anyone!. They are proud of you! And love you!. They probably would like the yarn they are used too!. Although try today's. I was shouting candy cane at my screen as you was questioning the colour. Then you said it! Lol!. I have some similar. And my hubby would tell you how organised I am with my yarn too!. Like you!. I like to ball my yarn up also. Lol!. I love variegated!. It's colourful & exciting!. I take 3 balls of a bold colour and wind them together to make brand new colourways, my favourite to knit or crochet with is dk. My hubby likes the chunky. His hands are bigger then mine! Lol!. Your mum is lovely!, mandy uk 🇬🇧 xx😊
So funny Juan. I’m watching you while working on a Wildflowers blanket! Had just ordered the Wildflower yarn and immediately started this. I agree. That first skein looks very much the same.
That was fun! Especially the last cake😊
I love my Stanwood yarn cake maker! Those vintage yarns you are caking up are the yarns I worked with back when I first started crocheting in my teens. So, I guess I'm vintage!😅
This was fun and soothing. I got quite a bit accomplished on a shawl I'm making for a neighbor. Thank you Juan.
P. S. Mama is right, check out a vintage pattern. 😊
I’m doing a scrap blanket in c2c in the round and listening to my yarn buddy keeping me from boredom! Thx, Juan

As a 59er, I have some fondness for older yarns - but totally love what is being done with alternatives to sheeps wool nowadays, including all the synthetics. And life is as simple as one makes it, Juan... YAM xx
Love the starbrights yarn. It was such a cool design as you were winding it up. 💜🩵
Put the wrapper around the outside of the cake. That's what I do. Don't have to worry trying to get the ball band back in the center of the cake.
I started crocheting in the 70s. The main yarn I remember was Sayelle and Wintuck . What can I say I love it all. I liked the prices better then but remember we made a lot less money too. Then again we didn't need it.
I love watching the cake videos - the perfect background while I work on projects.
I enjoy watching you cake with variegated yarn. I find it soothing and almost hypnotic how the colors change and lie beautifully next to each other. There's only a problem when you're busy crocheting, I forget to work on what I'm doing lol. I'm from 1961 and I learned knitting and crocheting from my mother at the age of 5-6, but I liked the yarns of the past better Many acrylic yarns here, at least in the Netherlands, feel very plastic-like and stiff, especially those from the discounters. I think the composition of the yarn has changed over the years
Juan, my boyfriend laughs at me because I’ll sometimes “talk” to you, such as saying “oh I have that vintage yarn too!”.
Please consider vintage mystery boxes to sell.
I thought the Stenwood was actually a wooden ball winder 😂 I have a wooden one and it’s a million times better than the Knit Picks winder.
Yes to vintage mystery yarn boxes!
I bought a knit picks winder because you gave it a good review. I never had a yarn winder before and I absolutely love it!
I could listen to you babble all night Juan! You should ask your mom how she feels about vintage yarn versus today’s. Thanks for all the things 💜
I have a yarn winder like that and am very happy with it. 😊
I love watching you making cakes while I crochet your C2C blanket! It's fine to talk about recipes instead of patterns, as long as the algorithm doesn't get confused and think you're talking about baking instead of crafting! 😂
👋 Juan! You inspired my Dollar Tree purchase of 2.5gal ziplocks. I have put my planned projects in each and call them my TIPS. Thoughts in progress... 😃 😀 😄
I enjoy the chat and all the things😊. I became a cake winder convert when I bought a Knitter's Pride winder, looks like your Knit Picks one. I use to help my Gran wind her scraps of yarn into balls. At the time I had no problem with that. But given a choice between one or the other, I would pick the winder every time, now. A cake winder is very hypnotic. ASMR for the mind😅.
Would my Gran have liked the yarns we have now? Yes, except for one thing. The price now! She would have protested the high prices by not buying yarn hardly ever. She was a "deal and a steal" person too. If it cost a lot she didn't want it.
Have you been given any Caron Dazzle-Aire? It was an acrylic that was soft but fuzzy and didn't shed. It even had a little sheen to it. I used that back in the 1990s, so did my Gran. The colors were nice and the price was right. Makes me miss K-mart.
The vintage combo yarns project sounds fun, whatever design you pick. I love pulling out older yarns and making something special withthem. Just keep itfun for you. Thanks for sharing.🤗😀😎
Great idea 💡 to make cakes and store in a tray that you can put another on top of it
love that starbrights ....its so stinking pretty
"Deals and Steals" yeah they're stealing from YOU! lol
Juan I need more of these videos even if it's not vintage yarn. I love watching you and theses videos while I'm crocheting
Here till the end.😮Great visit.❤
Good evening, Juan! I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand and am unable to crochet. Therefore, I am getting my crochet time through you! Thank you for all you do and all the things!!!
I am more vintage than you and I am not into variegated yarns and I think it goes back to my mother. I cannot remember her ever using it, just plain colors. I know my mom was in love with Red Heart acrylic. I surmise that she probably did not like the care and strength of wool. I don't think there were blends in her day. The only time I did variegated yarn was when I made all my pupils scarves for Christmas gifts. I thought the children would love the colors. I use more adventurous yarns, color wise and content wise now under TH-cam influence!!!.....Yes your mom is right. Vintage with vintage. Didn't you ever know that mother knows best!!! By the way, my ball winder is silent and I love it. I have Cinnamon Stitches to thank for it. She went over things you must have for fiber work. She was spot on for the ball winder and I don't need to clamp it down. You can if you want to. I am making a Quick Silver beanie as I listen to you babble on about all the things!!! ♥️🧶😁🧶♥️
Enjoyed watching you cake up vintage yarn while I crochet.🥰
I like watching/ listening to you no matter what you're doing Juan❤ im working on a neon granny square blanket right now, I always have at least 6 wips at a time, usually more🙄
It was very relaxing watching you cake up all the beautiful yarn 🧶 💜
I think the colors show up better in a cake.
I need to send you my yarn 🧶 you make some beautiful cakes 🍰 💕☺️ I think I really like that winder 👍
😮 Of course we love you rattling on about all the things!
Hi Juan, the blue rainbow kinda looks like Picasso, when it was going around. love it..
😊good morning friend
That was great fun! Greetings from London UK x
Hi Juan thanks for keeping me company while I worked on my project. Be Well
Love the caking. ❤
This first yarn is Wildflowers from Red Heart..I have so much of this one 😊
I love listening to you “babble on” lol. Coffee and cake is a fun time. I’m making my grandson’s baby blanket larger as he grows.
I loved ❤going to Woolworth 's for my yarn. There was so much to choose from.
Here’s some yarn history: Orlon - made by DuPont -was the first commercially successful acrylic yarn, and it wasn’t widely available until the 1950s. So in reference to your question about whether you would like yarns in the 1940s … likely they wouldn’t have been made out of acrylic, because that wasn’t available then, but would have been cotton or wool instead. And with WWII shortages, probably not much of that was available to average consumers.
So anyway… your gorgeous vintage variegated yarns probably date from the 1960s forward. And they really are beautiful! Such a lovely window on the past. Thanks for sharing them with us! ❤
I was born the same year as you but in June 27th and I remember when red heart yarn was only 99 cents and my favorite is the rainbow yarn I have been trying to find red heart tropical fruit, bikini, pinata, and starlight. I also love the Mexicana and all of the rainbows I am going to be starting a new baby afghan for a friend's baby. But the first 4 colors I can't find no one has them. If you find some please let me know. Great videos.
Todays yarns are better and softer than those of the 60's and 70's. I wore knitted and crochet items in the 60's in 1966 I learned to crochet and knit from my grandmother. The wool was scratchy and the yarn was plastic scratchy and hard in texture. I was knitting socks for my uncles who were in the military 🪖 in Vietnam. I knitted hats to match their helmet and uniform colors. I had a bad alergic reaction to wool in 1974 so for a long time I did not use wool. It is the Lanolin of the yarn. So for me I love today's yarns.
Thryss has that same winder and she covered the whole white part with yarn...💜💜🥰
Ha! Yarn chicken with the cake😂
There is more of a variety of yarns today than there was in the late 60’s and early 70’s when I first learned to crochet. There wasn’t much of a color choice, but we didn’t know any better. I don’t think people hoarded yarn as much back then. We got what we needed and finished the project before we bought more. I didn’t know any yarn collectors back then. I definitely started collecting fabric before I accumulated tons of yarn too. The quality of yarn I believe is better now.
Toooo fun... so glad these cakes are low calorie...in fact with that winder, they burn calories😂💜💜🧶🪄
i LOVE YOU Juanster but, I am not going to sit and watch you cake up vintage yarns... It makes me feel too old! I did leave my DNA!
they are nice color
Also ... I don't have any friends that like the same things like this that you and I do. Impertinent of me I know, I consider you a friend and I enjoy your vids and your talk ... and ALL THE THINGS!😂😊
Hi Juan, loving coffee and cake.
My WIP is Montastraea tee top by Expression Fiber Arts. Using their Oasis Camel silk Fingering; colour is Autumn Lake. Hook size 3.50mm.
This is my first project using a printed pattern. It's going well 😊
Loving all the things ❤
Good night sweet dreams
I was considering on getting a yarn winder so I am happy you on this❤😊christine
No, my friend, you are correct, that color is Sunrise. ❤
