IceYarns: yarn review - Wool Cord Light Camel Beige, 50% wool, 50% acrylic, Ice Yarns 63080

Hello, my fellow knitters and yarn collectors! Today I will review a self-striping Wool Cord Light Camel Beige yarn from IceYarns. It is one of my favorite sites to order yarn from but it seems that at the beginning of the year that increased their shipping cost and ordering from there got a bit pricier... The yarn has 50 g per skein/ball I bought this yarn because I like to knit with wool, especially in winter as somehow it makes me feel warmer :) But also because right now I like experimenting with different sock designs. The acrylic component of this yarn is what makes it non-itchy (like 100% wool yarn might be) and also stronger. You can even machine wash it in a gentle cycle, but NEVER dry in a dryer! The yarn was a lot of fun to work with! It is thin if knitted with just one thread. But I like to knit fast! Plus, wool socks always feel 100 warmer if they are nice and thick! So, by using needles size 5 and 6 (for another pair of so...

Another 100% polyester yarn: Kartopu Wash It or Scrubber Twist, Scrubby Self-striping Eyelash Yarn

Well, in my last post I was excited about various washcloth that I knitted for friends and relatives. Even my mother-in-law was happy (wink-wink). However, my husband said that for his taste, for his gentle back, sensitive neck and pretty face, the scrubbing exfoliating washcloth was too harsh and too scratchy. He said he felt that it was going to take off a layer of his skin off (well, it's true.... I tried to explain to him that removed will be dead skin, but... - he said he wants a softer washcloth). Well, he did not have to ask me twice. It simply gave me an excuse to shop around and try another exciting yarn I 've never tried before. He did not have to ask me twice! So, I cam across another exciting Scrubbing Yarn but with a twist. Literally! It is called Scrubber Twist! Other websites call it Scrubby yarn. Red Heart, Hobiumyarns, Ice-Yarns and Yarn Paradise - all have it either as one- and multi-colored . Hobiumyarns and Ice Yarn offer the sa...

Excellent yarn for Addi knitting machine - Rainbow Yarn from IceYarns

Hello everybody! I recently bought two Addi knitting machines and started experimenting with them. So, I found a new way to combine both of my obsessions - trying new yarns from all over the world and knitting them too :) ! Today I am reviewing a wonderful yarn from Turkey, which is called Rainbow Winter Sale Yarn with a SKU number 65496. IceYarn.com and YarnParadize sell this yarn. This yarn first seemed too thin for me - these days I like knitting quickly using double or triple folded yarn. So, I first got a small batch of it while it was on sale because it had such an attractive texture and then bought a larger supply. It is made in Turkey and has an interesting thread consisting out of two individual threads. Both threads have interesting boucle texture to them, which, in my opinion, makes this yarn so wonderful for the Addi machine. The total fiber content is 30% of wool , 30% of acrylic, and 40% of pol...
