- I took a trip on the Wayback Machine and Google Search to learn the details of the rise, fall, and implosion of Mystical Creation Yarn. It's a strange yarn tale of bleeding yarn and a faked death.

i love in depth videos on internet history and i also love fiber arts, so when i say this REALLY hit the spot
Thank you Emma for the recommendation, I decided to watch this before her vid and it’s great! A+ content!
Did her video actually have anything to add, or did it just restate everything from this video?
@@PutRandomNameHere Well, what happened was I watched this one, thought “Y’know, I think this covered everything,” then never felt like watching Emma’s haha.
The story that just won’t die! Even though this is old news, it bears watching again - scammers are everywhere, and there are certainly red flag lessons to be learned here. Thanks for the coverage.
This was really fun to watch as someone not involved in the knitting community AT ALL. The way you presented the info was super fun and soooooo salty XD
Thank you!
I'm years late, but this was fun to listen along with as I was working on my own project so that I don't have to fake my own death to get out of a missed due date
I love stuff like this! The only other legend-type story like this I've heard was the whole GothSocks debacle... what a mess!
Yeah. I want to do more of these. I'm casting about (ah no pun intended) for another one. But, I'm holding off on doing another faked death right away.
Oh my God, I loved this video, thank you. I can only imagine how much work this must have been.
I am very much into True Crime and never thought that there is True Crime material in our knitting community. 😂
You have a big talent in telling and summing up complicated stories and it was so cozy to see you crocheting during the process. Now I have to check out your other videos. Great job!
Oh thank you! I want to do more of these types of videos but work life. I hope you enjoy the rest of my channel. 😀
Check out the story of Rainy Days and Wooly Dogs also known as GothSocks. Another one who died, but for only 10 minutes, it is from that debacle the group Demon Trolls started on Ravelry.
I will have to look more into those. I know about GothSocks but hadn't heard of the other two. I've always intended to do more videos like this but ... life.
I was in Ravelry at the time. I was part of the rubberneck group. I knew a podcaster and dyer who went on her blog to explain how to make your yarn colorfast if you bought MCY yarns. That was before she "died" and I remember lots of drama between MCY and the other dyer.
I also remember someone "dying" in the middle of a yarn subscription service and then coming back to life. Was that Goth socks? I don't really remember. The rubberneck group was so fun back in the day.
Oh interesting. And yes it was Goth Socks who "died" for about 10 minutes.
I’m baffled.. I was all into the Ravelry scene by that time and completely missed this drama. I enjoyed you telling us about it though.. like my hobbies true crime podcasts and crafting all together 🎉
I bought yarn from her! I remember having some big issues, I think with her turnaround time, lack of responsiveness, color, and quality. I wonder if I still have my emails from that.
You are an excellent story teller! And yes, I did hear of this saga on Mastoddon just today. The legend lives on!
Thank you so much.
I'm from the indie makeup and more subreddit, so I've seen my fair share of controversies about small business owners when their brands implode. But I've never seen anyone fake a death. I've only heard something like that happening in the bookish community. However I've seen how the community can react when a small brand owner is in the midst of drama, including how much grace and leeway they get before we're drafting up scam warning posts, I know how exactly this plays out, I'm not from this particular niche of crafting, but I've seen this for perfume and bath and body brands.
I'm here! ☕🍿🧐
I hope you enjoy it!
"Everything went to hell in a project bag" 🤣🤣🤣
I' m here too. I didn't know that the knitting Community ist also a mystery and true crime Community 😂. Thank you for this Video.
😂 Neither did I until I heard about this. Crafters, we transcend genre.
This Video ist brilliant.
@@uf9050 OMG Thank you!
Wow, it looks like you spent lots of time researching this. I was snickering at the mention of LiveJournal - is that still a thing?
I did a fair amount of research. And yeah, livejournal is still around. Who is using it? I have no idea.
I was on the knitblogs and Knittyboard at the time. You got it right. I wasn't a customer (don't like jumping on bandwagons), but many friends were. I was friends with Monkey, too. *Sighs*
Oh wow. The story on MamaMonkey is something else from the scant details I’ve seen.
@@CarrieCraftGeek Yeah. Honestly, she had some issues, and I just can't be mad at her. MCY and the many others who have pulled that now standard story? I'm not okay with what they do.
23:32 wish it said “dyer dies” 😆
I forgot all about how Facebook was really just for college students in the beginning. I'm pretty sure you needed a college email address to join!
Yup. It was a big deal when us younger Gen X'ers could get on.
I still have some MCY sitting around here somewhere....
Ohhhh. I wonder if it’s from before or after MCY quality went down hill.
What is a "suede-o-cide"?
It was when a person went online and faked their death, usually by posing as a grieving family member informing an online community that a popular member had passed away. It's a combination of pseudonym and suicide. (I probably didn't pronounce it correctly.
It’s actually pronounced “SU-do” side - like the word pseudo. Some of this vlogger’s pronunciations are difficult to interpret.
