Woolen spun yarn or worsted spun is how the fiber is prepped before it's spun. Worsted spun is a tighter more defined spin because the fibers are combed straight before the spin. Woolen spun is loftier and airy. Superwash or Non-Superwash is whether or not a treatment has been used to make the yarn machine washable. The stitch definition has a lot to do with how the yarn is spun and not necessarily whether it's Superwash or not. Look into the terms so you have a better idea of which yarn to use. It'll help you to find substitutions more easily.
Thank you so much for this comment! You are correct that I used the terms incorrectly. I'm pinning it here so others can use it as a resource.
Thanks for watching ♥️
Your knits are beautiful and your 1st podcast was great. Thanks for sharing your makes!
Oh yeah! You could over dye it, rather than pulling it all out. It is beautiful, and you have put in a lot of work on it! Whoever made that suggestion is right! ❤
Your pressed flowers cardigan is stunning ❤
Your podcast showed up today on my watch list and I’m so glad that it did. I really enjoyed it. Your Pressed Flowers Cardigan is going to be stunning. I love your color choices. Looking forward to more of your podcasts.
OOh my goodness! You would never believe this was your first podcast. You were very professional + seemed to be very calm. You spoke eloquently, + your work was beautiful. Well done for taking that first step! I look forward to your next podcast.
This has been an excellent podcast. You are lovely, soft-spoken and very humble. I really appreciate that your content is straight up just knitting. I appreciate your honesty too. Looking forward to your next podcast.
I absolutely love your voice. Tranquil and serene ❤
Your channel just showed up on my home page and I’m so glad it did. You have a great presence and so comfortable showing your knits. Looking forward to following your journey here as a podcaster. Don’t apologize for yarn substitutions as we all should use is yarn that makes us happy - I’m a firm believer that all yarn deserves a chance 🫶
I would NOT frog your beautiful sweater. It is gorgeous. Accessorize with your favorite colors.
Your pressed flowers cardigan! Beautiful!!!!❤️
Great first episode. Your knits fare lovely. Overdye the sweater. It’s a beautiful design and sounds like lovely yarn.
Congratulations on your first podcast, I really enjoyed it! I think the beautiful teal yarn will better suit your colouring for your sweater. You put a lot of work and time in your golden sweater but if you don’t love it you will never wear it. We should all love what we knit so go with your heart!
Great job, you were a delight. Looking forward to more of your podcast.
Congratulations - thank you for showcasing your knit passion with a knit podcast. You inspired me to try the pressed flower since I spin myself, and the pressed flower really showcased the beautiful hand-spun yarn so well. Remember that you can redye the Afra sweater - for another color. It is not very difficult, and the sweater is so beautiful. And if it fits, that's the most important. Thank you for putting your voice out. Love from Scandinavia
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
Looking forward to the next episode ❤
Congratulations on your inaugural podcast. You are a natural and your knitting is gorgeous. Please do not frog the sweater. Finish it, block it and you accessorize when you style it. It really is lovely and the warm colour will look great on you. If you hate it, gift it or sell it. Keep podcastin💕
What a great first podcast. Your pressed flowers cardigan is going to be beautiful. Can't wait to see your next episode.
What a great podcast! ❤
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m looking forward to your next podcast. Your projects you are working on are beautiful.
I am so glad to have found your channel. You are so enjoyable to watch and listen to. I now have a few new views, patterns, yarn, etc. all compliments of your channel. Can't wait to see what's to come.
A lovely first podcast! The mustard color looks nice with your skin tone, hair, and eyes. Maybe knit a cowl/scarf with more colors to wear with it. It would also be pretty with a flowy woven silk, multicolored scarf near your face. If that doesn't work I agree with others...overdye it, which could be a fun project. Looking forward to seeing you again.
Loved listening to you! I agree that you should complete the Afra sweater... you're getting to the best part 😊 Looking forward to your next podcast
You are lovely and great first episode!,
You did a great job on your first podcast! Congratulations!
Congratulations on your first podcast. Love your scarf version on the Pressed Flowers pattern 💕🫶🏿🙌🏿
Congratulations on your first podcast. You’ve done an amazing job. Looking forward to seeing many more 🧡🧡🧡
Loved your first episode!!! You’re a natural and I enjoyed hearing about your knitting adventures. I hope you enjoyed doing it and decide to film again!❤
Great first podcast.
You are a natural born podcaster! So happy I found your channel.
excellant
Wow, great podcast! You could over dye that gorgeous Afra sweater.
Really good first episode!
Don’t frog that Agra sweater! It is beautiful! Finish it, block it, and style it. It will surprise you how nice you will look in it. The color is good. I’m enjoying your first podcast. Keep up the good work.
fabulous debut!!!!
This makes me want to get to work on the Pressed Flowers cardigan that I’ve swatched for, but not really started. Excellent podcast-algorithm brought me here directly after finishing a Wool, Needles, Hands podcast.
Hi Claudia, love your podcast and your projects! Is it allowed to say that I love your hair style too? And the wooden background is lovley. Hope to see you soon again. Greetings from Germany
I know what you mean about the knitting hobby, I don't know a soul who knits. In SW Ga., everyone crochets. Oh well, least there is You Tube to connect with other knitters. As for that gorgeous camel colored sweater, no way I'd rip that out. It's beautiful. You can knit another one, if you don't like the color of that one, or maybe you can gift it to someone. The Flowers cardigan is to die for, love your color choices. Congrats on your new podcast, I'm sure you will do well. You are very personable and fun to listen to.
Great first episode 😊 I love your description of the sunset colours for your shawl!
Great job. Hope to see more of your projects🎉
Love your podcast, great first episode! The Afra in teal would be so beautiful… especially with your skintone. Altough the ochre is also very pretty. Looking forward to the next chapter and what you will do. 😊
I vote to finish the sweater and then dye it a dark color. You’ve come so far and it looks great!
Great job for your first podcast! Afraid sweater...loved the mustard color, but when you posted the pic & I saw it as more an olive green....I can see it washing you out. Go with the teal & consider that a trial run & use it for something/someone else. Looking forward to hearing more from you! I too love Taylor Earl...what a sweetheart!!
Good job.
Lovely first podcast 🥰 I will say if you’re not loving the colour or a project whilst knitting it you’re not going to love wearing it, that’s always the case for me at least, but you’ve got so far so I completely agree with finishing it and dyeing over it!
Youre beautiful , and what you have created with your hands , is stunning , thankyou for taking the time to show your creations , and i have subscribed . Off to buy yarn ❤😊
Your cowl is gorgeous.
Loved your first episode. Great job! Let’s do a KAL with your mom’s sweater. I’ll do one for my mom for Christmas too!
I'm inspired by your pressed flowers colours. I was struggling to decide what colours to use.... I have totally fallen in love with yours.
PS. I did enjoy your podcast😊
Hi Claudia. Congratulations on your first podcast! I really enjoyed watching/listening while knitting on an Irene Lin pattern!! I am also a big fan of her designs. I’m making the Faye summer top. It’s the 4th time I’m making it but the first one I’m doing for myself. Great job on your first podcast and thank YOU for sharing your time to do this. I look forward to watching the next episode 💗
Great podcast. The first two sweaters I would of kept those colours. They were perfect but you have to fill it in your heart.
I think you are a natural in front of the camera. I know that you said you don't have a problem reknitting the Afra but it would pain ME to have you undo all those hours of work. Ask yourself what the original intention you had to wear this with and keep that in mind before the frogging starts. Best of luck with this new adventure and looking forward to your next podcast whenever you have the time to post.
Your channel popped up and I am so glad I watched!! I love your enthusiasm for knitting.
The Afra……such a tough call. If you aren’t loving the colour I think over dying is definitely an option - as long as you love the fit after finishing, after fixing the cuff and after blocking.
I love knitting for the s-l-o-w aspect of it ❤
Hi, lovely podcast.
I‘d finish the sweater and dye it.
Can‘t wait to see your next episode. ❤
Congratulations on your first podcast, already like a professional :-)
I agree with others, continue with your Afra Sweater, can always add a pop of your preferred colors using accessories.
Love your Pressed Flowers cardigan, all the swatches paid off for a perfect selection, look forward to seeing your completed items
I am so happy I found you!!!! Amazing podcast! I have missed podcasting and and have not been on TH-cam in a while, but I decided to start again and you were the first one to pop up when I logged in today.
I love your Afra sweater, the colour is great for fall. If you are that unhappy with it, I would gift it rather than frog it. Just my humble opinion. Thanks for so much inspiration and for being courageous enough to podcast. Looking forward to #2.
I like having a simple knit I can pick up too. I'm working on the half and half, and so close to being finished with the Brume. Great first episode, I look forward to seeing you again.
Very good first podcast. Please finish the Arfa instead of frogging. Overdye or gift. Pretty colors on the pressed flowers cowl.
Hi! I enjoyed your first podcast! Love loved your pressed flowers pink choice!
Great first podcast! It certainly didn’t seem like a first podcast. You have a great presence and way of conversing with us. Just my opinion…keep going on the ochre sweater. You’re almost finished and it’s beautiful! I bet it will look great on you.
Great first pod! Finish the Irene Lin sweater, you’re almost done. As others have said you could always overdye but I think when it’s finished you will still love it 🙂
Wonderful first podcast. Never apologize for substituting yarn. I try to purchase most of my yarn at my local yarn store so I’m always substituting yarn. I am currently spinning yarn to knit a pressed flowers cardigan. Hopefully I will have the yarn spun to cast on in early 2025.
So Nice to stumble into this lovely podcast 😍 about the sweater: I would finish it (since it is allmost done anyway), and then I would knit it again in the teal colour 🤩💙
Swoon on your Pressed flowers cardigan! You have inspired me to put in on my list! OOOH, your Afra sweater, I know you don’t love it BUT it looks gorgeous on camera! Thanks for making your first podcast and have subscribed to watch more in the future. Great projects! And I love your dress and your style!
You did a great first video! It was very enjoyable. Loved all your projects and I hope you do not frog the beautiful sweater with that much work in it. Looking forward to future episodes. Happy stitching!
I think you should finish your sweater and gift it to a friend. I’ve done the same thing so many times, chosen the wrong colour. If I finish it and keep the item I don’t wear it, if I frog it I don’t end up using the yarn again because I already know it doesn’t suit me. Great first episode, thank you 😊
You are so fun to watch! Very knowledgeable and you don’t actually seem nervous at all. Beautiful stitching as well! ( please hold your projects still for a bit) keep it up!
Congratulations on your first podcast, I love it. You have to knit what brings you joy, if you love the knit, but not the color, rip it out and choose the color that brings you joy and happiness.
I think the colour of your afra sweater looks good on you, and… you are almost done! ❤ I also want to make this one day, I too love Irene Lin designs, you have to finish it, and if you don’t wear it, you could carefully over dye it!😊
I think it would look great with green
Great episode 👏 I think you should finish your sweater.
Looking forward to your future projects and episodes.
Many greatings from Denmark
Thank you so much, Claudia, for your lovely podcast. I'm already looking forward to your next one. Thank you too for introducing me to two patterns that I loved - the Darjeeling blouse and the pressed flowers cardigan. I will definitely knit one, if not both.
I love that you use colour! So many podcasters seem to knit almost always in neutrals.
I agree with everyone about the Afra sweater. You may love it when you've finished it. If not you could gift or sell it.
Great premier! You are a natural. Your knits are beautiful. I am looking forward to your future projects and episodes.🧶😊
Love your podcast! Yes, I think you should frog the sweater for the teal color. It will be worth it since you love the teal…and it will look amazing on your skin!! The yellowish color does not do a lot for your skin.
Wow, doesn't seem like your first episode! Great job! Your pressed flowers cardigan has me yarn shopping 😂 it is so beautiful, and I must have one in similar colors. Can't wait for your next episode!
That pink is gorgeous, and you definitely have the cherry blossoms falling on snow!
I live in southern Nevada as well. I am looking forward to seeing what projects you work on for this climate ❤
Lovely first episode, I've been watching as I work on my Ranunculus. If that Afra sweater isn't bringing you joy now, it won't bring you joy to wear it. Frog it! Can't wait for the next episode. 😊
Enjoyed your podcast. The pressed flowers pattern is very pretty and the colors look great together. I will look forward to your next episode and see the progress you have made on your projects. I live in AL and we have long hot summer so I knit with cotton and linen too.
What a great podcast! With beautiful projects....look forward to future episodes! I'm from Miami so I get it about knitting challenges in steamy hot places! Currently, I'm knitting Stephen West's mystery sock a long which I did last year as well.. Loving it!
I enjoyed your podcast. I have socks as “stress projects”, I knit a tube, then cut in an afterthought heel. They don’t take that long, are small, plus easily portable-my purse project. As for your sweater dilemma - I would finish it. You could always over dye it. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your next podcast.
Every stitch matters. I love that.
Hi from England! Loved your podcast! The pressed flowers series of patterns never floated my boat, to be honest. that is until you held up.your cowl and cardigan! It's sparked so much inspiration for me to use my handspun. I would definitely finish your Afra, as others have said , you can always overdye it. I am looking forward to seeing your next podcast.
Your first podcast? Wow, you're a natural - really enjoyed it. Love the pressed flowers shawl with great colour choices - I'm just finishing one too. Look forward to your next podcast 😀
Great first podcast! Your color choices for the pressed flowers cardigan are beautiful. Before you mentioned it, my first thought was that it looked like cherry blossoms.
I really enjoyed your podcast, hard to believe it's your first, well done! I love the sweater that you are questioning the color, try to imagine it with a really nice necklace nestled in the v-neck.
So must inspiration🎉 I’m knitting the Floresta by Elene Solier Jansa.
Have a nice summer❤
Love your first podcast, feel like I’m sitting with a friend chatting. finish your sweater and see what it looks like. Love the pattern. You could wear with a coordinating scarf or gift it if you really won’t wear it. Look forward to your next post.
I just found your channel and decided to watch to hear about the pressed flowers cardigan. I recently frogged mine because I did not like the fabric that my yarn choices created, and am trying to decide what to use instead as I love the sweater and enjoyed knitting it. I agree with others that you should not frog your sweater, and agree with the suggestions that others made. You did a great job for your first podcast. I’m looking forward to the next one.
Congratulations on your first Podcast! You are a natural in front of the camera and I have enjoyed your episode. The pressed flower cardigan is delicious (no other word for it🤣)...I also love pink...so I have subscribed🤗....❤from South Africa🌵
well hello and thanks for such a lovely video, I am reknitting the collar on my Tolsta tank while I listen and watch your swatches and projects, love the tone of slow knitting of your channel! Thanks for posting and looking forward to the next one!
also! if you are not happy with the color, you can dye it or , since it is cashmere, frog it and use it for a half and half for whenever you finish the other one, as you will enjoy the process of your next background project! I have frogged manchelopis knitted in 2 different projects because I was not vibing with the project. It is a pain, but you gotta trust your gut :)
Stress knit! Love it. I have the pattern and hesitated to make it for a friend. I will be jotting down great pointers such as swatches (which I will keep for reference in a notebook) to get with this pattern for not a WIP but a Stress Knit bag! Young lady, you bring modern colors that my granddaughters and I would love. One is nineteen, the other five. Both are going to love it. I have put the notification on to avoid missing your next one. I am glad to have been a part of Bravo again for this inauguration. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Really enjoyed your podcast. Don’t frog the baby camel. Use a scarf for a color pop you like and the camel will reflect the warmth of your skin tone. You were very enjoyable to listen to. Thanks ! Jill. Salt Lake City
Amazing YT. ❤ you are definitely in the right place 🎉
Think about over dying the sweater. I certainly appears you are so close to a finish!!
Look forward to future YT
I just love the Afra sweater. The colour is delicious and looks beautiful on you !! So happy to have found your podcast tonight
I think it’s worth finishing too… and worst case over-dye it and wear it and see how you like the sweater… you can always make another one… love the teal
Wonderful Claudia!..I’m now a fan of your podcast and your work is beautiful ❤
Love your podcast! You did great! Pressesd flowers is on my list for this year as well. Dont frog your sweater ! It is beautiful and perfect for fall . I am currently working on the Book Club Cardigan and am enjoying the knit very much. Next up for me is another Fallow for my daughter’s birthday. Happy Knitting 😊
Enjoyed your podcast! Keep making more content! On your Afra sweater, I would finish it. If the color really doesn't sing to you see of someone can over dye it to a color you would like. After seeing your pressed flowers sweater I need to jump in the pressed flowers bandwagon.
