Thank you for this video! I’ve been so frustrated in all of my years of knitting and crochet and I never thought to go below a 3 weight because I assumed it was all for socks but I love that drape in store bought items. Looks like I’m heading to Michaels after work 😘😘
Yay! ❤️
Exceptional yarns and having explained the different yarn weights it makes sense. I live in Cape Town South Africa. Love your ideas ♥️🎁♥️
Thank you!
Thank you Chandi! Great information for a new knitter/crocheter on your well done videos. Plus, you offer such lovely quality yarns. I'm enjoying the education you are providing.
I appreciate your comment! ❤️❤️
Thanks so much for describing the different fingering weight yarns you carry.., I often wonder what they were and why I should choose one over the other, depending on my project needs!
I'm glad the video was helpful. Have a lovely day. ❤️
The crochet top pattern has a nice glow to it , including the patterns that you were showing they all have a real beatiful silky look to them
I'm so glad you like them! ❤️
Thanks for the informative videos. You have beautiful yarn, and I really appreciate that you include gorgeous examples in both knit and crochet!
Thank you so much! ❤️
This video was very helpful! I'd love a comparison of different weight yarns for knitting, too.
Great idea!
Like your explanation. I’m a knitter and crocheter so it’s helpful to know about the different based yarns and what they are good for
Thanks, Joy! 😍
Hi Chandi. Thanks so much for this video. It's exactly what I needed to learn about yarn choices. Great information. Have a beautiful day🙏
Glad it was helpful! You're very welcome. 🥰
Wonderful video Chandi! I’m new to knitting so this is a perfect reference guide. I’ve purchased yarn from your shop and it’s fabulous. Feels so silky smooth & soft. This is such an elegant treat! Definitely NOT my Mom’s chunky yarn.
Thanks! ❤️
This woman is stunning.
Oh, I’ve really got to win the lottery and learn to knit. I now have the desire to buy some of everything and cover myself in these yarns! Mmmmmmmm!
😍❤️😍❤️
I loved this video Chandi! Your yarns are gorgeous as always and I appreciate you sharing the projects you’ve made with each. They are beautiful. Thank you also for explaining all about fingering weight yarn. I eagerly await your next video!
Thanks, Thea!❤️
Thea Stewart what video??
Loved this video! I learned so much! I have been looking for videos explaining what yarn to use for different projects. This was awesome!
You are so welcome!
Loved this video on the lightweight yarn, I'm obsessed with cotton atm and have been making maxi skirts and patterned tank tops, plus the usual shawls. I'm working on another maxi skirt atm ( crocheted) the yarn I use us from Turkeys Ice Yarns its s 4 strand 2 weight cotton and it splits very easily so projects take a little longer. I loved the 2 tops especially the knitted on. I do both knitting and crochet.
Love this!
My God! Your work is so amazing that am still breathless dear. So many beautiful pieces of art and the yarn is just so unique. Pray to God I get reach so I'll be buying from you on weekly basis. Even better, pray so I get rich to go to your store and come back to P.R. with boxes full of your yarn and other items from your store. I don't know about you, but to me it sounds perfect. Am believing it's going to happen. Who knows one day you turn around and there I am.
You are so kind Rosita! I am believing with you! 😍
Video quality is always top notch. TY!
Appreciate it Seth!
I'm quite new to crochet and am LOVING all your teaching videos.
One major question I have [but want to master, if you could do a video, ~please~] is: how do you get BOTH socks to come out the same size (and as well, with mittens & baby booties)?
I know it has to do with consistency in tension, but each time I have to quit working on a project & I return later, how do you 'exactly' recreate your previous energy? Seems utterly impossible to accomplish .....
(for me, anyway).
That's a great question. We can definitely do a video on that. ❤️
Thank you for the video. I learned so much about fingering weight yarn, and your drool worthy yarns.
You are so welcome! ❤️❤️❤️
I really love the top its gorgeous, the yarns movement and flow the light just bounces off, the fingering yarn gives me inspiration. Already subscribed love your bright cheery greetings, if I'm down it brightens my day
Thanks for joining! ❤️
I'm going to try knitting the "Papillon/Butterfly" pattern on Ravelry. It calls for yarn with a long colorway. Can you show me some suggestions? Your yarns are so beautiful!
Nola, we don't currently offer long-color changing yarns but you could use a gradient kit if you like! Just check out this category: www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/kits.html
Thank you for the video. I normally stay away from fingering yarn since it seems like it would take forever to finish a project. Might have to try it one day.
You should! ❤️
I have used the Oasis Camel Silk yarn to make two pairs of shorty socks, with one skein. I am using one pair as everyday wear socks, and the other as my sit in the chair knitting or crocheting/wear to bed socks. Both are holding up very well so far. I can see some fuzzing on the heels of the everyday sock, but I wonder if that is due in part from wearing them in crocs, which has the little nubbins that the heel rubs on. I wear them at least once a week, sometimes more, they are a little over 2 months in my rotation and still look solid. The house chillin pair still look brand new. So far I am so so happy with them, not to mention they are just the most luxurious little gifts to myself. I have more of this better than ice cream yarn in my stash and there will be even more soon. I'm looking for a treasure chest, just to house this gift of the gods in. Go ahead! TREAT YOURSELF! Buy this yarn! While your there in Chandi 's shop do check out the patterns, and pick out the one you must have, then fill your basket with the yarn you need to make it. We all need snuggles and IMHO, nothing makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, better than yarn! Especially free yarn, sign up for the give aways, but make sure you have room for a massive addition to your stash!
You are so kind!! 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️!!
This is very informative demonstrated with beautiful projects
Love you Chandi! And all the yarn I've purchased!!
You're the best! ❤️
This is really beautiful
Thanks! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Chandi. Thank you for this video & the invite to comment. I know this video was put out a long time ago however I think this can still be relevant. I'm rather brand new to crochet.
Is it possible to choose the wrong yarn for your project?
Yes, that's still possible. The most important thing is to match the yarn weight if you're substituting yarns. Next you'd like to check the fiber content, are the fibers in the 2 yarns from the same families, like silk, wool, alpaca, and so on. It doesn't have to match 100% but if it's similar your project will have the same, drape/sheen/look. Different fibers behave differently, for example 100% alpaca doesn't hold it's shape and stretches. So that can affect how your final item looks.
One final advice I can give you is, make a swatch not just to check your gauge/tension but also to fill the fabric that you're getting to decide if you like it or not.
I hope this makes sense and is helpful. 🩷
@@ExpressionFiberArts Thank you so much.
You're really quite wonderful.
So love ALL of these !! I can’t wait to get some of these patterns and your yarns are so beautiful 😍
Thanks, Rita! ❤️❤️
All of the projects done here are beautiful. The yarn quality is really high but so is the price of the hand made yarn!
I love the way your videos are done!

Very informative video. Thanks, Chandi!
Thanks, Diane!
Thank you it was very informative on fingering weight yarn
You're so welcome, glad it was helpful 🥰
Thank you, i didnt know they were hand dyed. That explains why your wool is that price!! Theyre made individually and not massed produced like redheart for example.
You are so welcome!
Love your designs
Thank You!
I'd like to know how much yarn each project takes. I'd also like to see more videos like these with projects and your yarn. Thanks. Could you also include the price price of your yarn? Your stuff is gourgeous😍sorry I asked so much. No need to respond. I know your busy🙂.
No worries! Thanks for asking! I put, in the description box, links to all of the patterns in the video. If you click the links they should tell you how much yarn was used for each project. You can also browse around our shop at www.expressionfiberarts.com and you can see all of the prices for the yarn! Hope this helps!! ❤️❤️
With the yardage on that camel fingering, is it more of a light fingering or heavy weight lace yarn than a true fingering weight?
I would say that it is a light fingering! ❤️
Is there any way to explain the use of the yarn in a different way. I’ve had a lot of trouble because of my disability. I do understand different plys and was wondering if that has anything to do with how you know what to use
Here's another resource for understanding yarn weight and why it matters: doradoes.co.uk/2020/08/22/yarn-weights-explained/
Yarn weight is going to determine things like the thickness of the finished knit or crochet piece, the density of the stitch texture, what size needle is best suited for each weight, and how visible different stitch textures will be (i.e., a looser gauge with a lace weight will not show off cable stitches, as well as an more densely knit worsted weight). The number of plies (and fiber content) will affect drape and stitch definition and how the piece holds up over time). This is only a brief overview, but I hope it helps you a little.
Thanks so much
Are any of the shawl patterns available for purchase?
Yes! You can find all of our knit and crochet shawl patterns at www.expressionfiberarts.com/categories/patterns.html?_bc_fsnf=1&Project+Type=Shawls%2FWraps

Thank you so much! 😊
Why r youre wools so expensive? I cannot afford $32.00 for a skein of wool? Thats why i was asking what i can use to substitute with, ?
Ty
Catherine, our skeins are hand-dyed, thus the price. You can substitute any fingering weight yarn you prefer, though.
Wonderful!! Great information 💕
Thank You! 😍

❤️❤️
I found nowadays people doesnt knit baby stuff with fingering baby yarn.what is this yarn for if not use to knit shawl?
It can be used for a bunch of stuff.... depending on the fiber blend. You can make hats, scarves, sweaters, cardigans, gloves, socks, etc. Hope this helps. : )

Thanks for the helpful suggestion! ❤️
My suggest is explain to us about abbreviations knitting! Please make a video for us! Thank you!
Love this suggestion! Will do!
When you are talking about the different yarns, if you had a caption at the very bottom that said what yarn it is it would be very helpful as you talk about so many patterns.
That's a great suggestion! Thanks!

Is that Sri Lankan's name "Chandi"
I was named after the Kiss song "Shandi" but my parents changed the spelling of the name to Chandi. ❤️ As I became an adult, I realized that name with that spelling was used in various cultures. ❤️
Ohh..in here common name Chandi/ Chandra (mean moon🌝🌜)
But so beautiful ❤💓
