Thanks Ana for the positive comment and I so appreciate the feedback!
The hood vest you are working on is so beautiful! The stitch work is amazingly intricate. You are such an artist!
Thank you Mary for the compliment on the sweater vest!
Love all the colors of yarn, beautiful ❤ I love brown, and I would love a long cardigan ❤❤
Hank is wearing a very nice vest.😊 the burgundy color.❤❤❤
Thank you, Gary, for ✌🏻 things showing me that beautiful ice yarn, and also reminding me of that #crochetbeanie #stitchsamplerbeanie from Crystal at #bagoday I'll be ordering new yarns and make another #crochetbeanie from Crystal collection. I can't wait to see how many other #contentcreators are going to copy your idea of using a 🔍 MAGNIFYING GLASS 🔎 to read those very 🤏🏻 TINY 🤏🏻 TINY prints. 🤣 😉 🤣 Also, another beautiful entro...✨️🫶🏻✨️🫶🏻✨️🫶🏻✨️
Yes!!! The magnifying lens is a great idea to read the small print on yarn labels. I need to try that!!! Thx!!!
The magnify glass in sadly a necessity for me at my age!
@@urbanyarn You are still young, compared to me!
@urbanyarn no worries, we can relate 🤓 🔍👓🔎 🤓
Loving your show. Really like your new hat that your friend made for you.
Hi Gary, I have missed you. The vest on Hank is great, I like it. The four colors of yarn , orange , turquoise,brown, and the first one look good all together. I like you like all of them. I have over loaded my watch list and don't always get around to everyone. I try though.😊 I will try to get to see you more often I promise.
Hello Dawn. I'm so happy you watched and commented. I know how difficult it is to get around to supporting all the channels we love, so no apologies needed and I'm always here when you want to pop by!
I love your purchases and your vest--glad to catch your video
Hi Gary. That's A very handsome vest Hank is wearing. I like the Ice orange variegated yarn. Great yarn haul. Have a great weekend.
Hi Danette - I would not have guessed your colour would have been the orange. Thanks for keeping me on my toes!
Beautiful yarn Gary…That fanfare yarn is just gorgeous😍🤩Love your sweater…can’t wait to see it all finished!
Hi Lori - I'm working on the hood part this weekend. I'll see how far I get. Hope you'll have a great weekend!
Your vest is beautiful, love the stitching and the color. I love purple so my favorite yarn is any purple you showed. 🥰. 🧶💜🙏🏻
My favorite sweater! It’s been a treat watching it evolve.
Hello Jax!
It's getting there - slowly by surely!
Hi Gary I love the Ice Yarns haul especially the burgandy one
Hi Gary, your vest on Hank is really Cool! Love the yarn haul from ICE!
Hi Gary! Love the vest on Hank. Beautiful work. You’re so talented.
Thanks so much!
Lovely project and beautiful yarns. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Oooh I love the worsted puzzle 🧶
Big Hugs 🤗 Gary. Watching your videos always brightens my day. 😊❤
Awe thanks Mamaggear!
That green/blue shade is beautiful! No, actually, I love all those wool/ acrylic blends❤
Love the hooded vest the orange/greens yarn is beautiful
Always so good to see you!
Your yarns are beautiful, reminds me of the Premier Puzzle Yarn.
I agree with you - but with all the yarns that I've tried, I've never purchased a Premier Puzzle Yarn. Not on purpose though!
Love the vest Hank is sporting 💚 cables are beautiful! It is on my list to learn how to knit this year. I like the purple 79924 the best 💜 Purple and green are my two favorite colors and I have 18 tattoos that are those colors 🥰 have a wonderful rest of your weekend Gary!
Yay! I'll be your cheerleader when you start your knitting journey!
I love the turquoise.
Hi Gary, thanks for the video. The yarns you showed are very similar to Premier Yarn Puzzle yarn as well. They are located in North Carolina, so also North America. They deliver quickly to me. However, the ICE yarn had some wool content which the Premier yarn 100% acrylic does not have. A pleasure to see you today and love the vest Hank is wearing!! 💚
love your cables in your vest - wow - also love seeing your yarns and thanks for showing us other options - the turq,green is my favorite have a great weekend with pixe and Chad l
Thanks Donna - you have a great weekend too!
Hi Gary good seeing your post
Hi Gary. Your sweater vest is beautiful…love the stitch work. Your Ice yarn haul was great. I especially like the a puzzle look-a-like yarn. My favorite colors is a toss between the turquoise and orange. Looking forward to seeing what you make with them.🥰
Thanks for letting me know your colour favs!
I luv the one with the orange in it the color just pops❣️🌻
Nice choice!
Thanks for the video. I love the sweater vest. The colors and stitch work are beautiful. I love your new yarn - my favorite color is the greenish brown. Very earthy colors.
Hi Stephanie - thanks for letting me know your fav colour!
Beautiful color for sweater vest. I love earthy colors as well as vibrant autumn colors.
Thank you so much Judy for your compliment on the sweater. I join you in on earthy and autumn colours.
Nice yarn 🧶 haul Gary! I like the puzzle except for the wool content! Great colors!💜
Hey there Rose! The wool isn't too bad in this one!
Yay!!! It’s time for Gary! Oh the puzzle yarn! I love the orange but when you held them up I could see the orange and your brown together!!!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Great idea!! Perhaps I'll have enough to do a vest when I use the two colours together.
Love the big twist.
I love the green/blue yarn, brown second, purple third and orange last. They are all excellent!
Hi Gary 😊 love the vest. Your work is just beautiful ❤️ I love all the yarn.
Thank you so much!
I love the Ice Yarns you shared!!! Very beautiful. Can't pick a favorite. I love them all the same. Just depends what I'm making and who it's for!!! I will definitely be looking at them for my next yarn purchase. I'm so stocked up on yarn from end of year sales and many of Crystal's patterns for several blankets and shawls!!! Thanks for the yarn haul. And shipping tips. TFS!
Hugs from Austin TX USA
Hello Barbara from Austin - Hope you are having a great start to your weekend. (It's Friday as I write this response).
Hi Gary..great haul! The sweater is gorgeous..Happy weekend
Thanks Debbie!
Love the orange one!! ❤
Hi Gary! My favorite Ice Puzzle was the purple (79924). They were all beautiful though. That vest is gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing your haul. I say it every time, but you always inspire me with your color play. Have a beautiful day! 🤗🧶
Hi Ruthie - you have a great weekend!
Gary, the things you design are often unique and special! You have an amazing design gene!
Thank you so kindly for that comment. It's very humbling and encouraging!
Gary the orange one would be great for something for fall
Hobbii has an almost exact match in the green/blue in a very soft acrylic the line is called "Fantasy"
Well spotted!
I like the green and blue ice yarn
Hi Gary, You've been missed. The green item on Hank is beautiful. I love it. My favorite color. Such gorgeous stitch work. The hat looks great on you
Hi Gioiacaterline - We will forever cheer on the green whenever we can.
Hi Gary, great yarn haul. My fav was the aqua/turquoise color, it’s beautiful. Enjoy your yarn festival tomorrow.
Thanks so much for the cheerful message. Great pick of a favourite colour!
Your vest is beautiful. I love tonal yarns. I'll have to check them out. Thanks for sharing.😊
Nice to see you Gary! Loved all the yarn. One day I’ll place an order with Ice. Hope you and Chad and Pixel have a good weekend. 😊
Thanks Gidget - We did have a lovely weekend. Way too fast though!
How about you?
Loved the copper color
Love them all Gary!
Kind of read my mind in saying that!
the orange puzzle is my fav. so boho
As you know, ice is my fav go-to place for yarn. The extra fine merino is so dreamy and it blocks beautifully. I'm so sorry to hear of those extra third party fees.
I'm determined to do more projects in the extra fine merino - I do hold off buying too often from ICE, but I do know I will again knowing I'll need to tolerate the add-on fees from a third party courier service.
Your cable stitch is gorgeous!
That's so sweet of you to write Peggie! Thank you!
Wow Gary I’m very impressed with that Celtic knot design you put together on the hooded vest! Sorry I’m behind on videos- we’ve been busy moving into a new home. I was having fun setting up my craft space in our spare bedroom today 😊 I liked the colors you had in your ice yarns- the gray one was nice and I liked the stretch it had- I use a lighted magnifier floor lamp all the time when crocheting so I can see to stitch😂
Hi Gary, I love the knitted vest it's gorgeous. My favorite color of the yarns (they remind me of premier puzzle yarns too) was the blue green colors. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Kris - thanks for joining in on your fav colour(s)
Hi! I LOVE love the blue mix among the tweedy yarns. Also the brown one and tne orange one! Arrrggghhh!
LOL! I'm the same way when it comes to picking my fav.
I'm eager to combine them now to make a bigger project.
Beautiful Hooded Vest!! 💚
Wow that's a high charge to get your packages!
All beautiful yarn! Love that brown and teal one. Wish I wasn't highly allergic to wool 😢 If it's anywhere in my house I cannot breathe, my eyes swell and I start sneezing. They make some beautiful wool! Have fun at the fest!
Hi Pammy!
Thanks for the compliment on the sweater. I'm aiming to get it done by Fall this year. I'm also feeling the pinch from shipping and the add-on fees by FedEx. I only will purchase every 8 months to a year - and only when I see something absolutely too tempting.
Hi Gary. Love the sweater vest ! Nice yarns. Awesome colors ❤❤
Thank you kindly Aida!
@@urbanyarn YW
I like the yarn with my orange in it, whatever you make will be amazing as your work always is!
Thank you! 😊
My favorite is the burgundy one
Your vest is gorgeous! Great ice yarns!
Thank you! 😊
I would with you Gary I love all the colors.
LOL - hard to choose just one right!...
Gary! I binged One Day last night on your recommendation! Loved 🥰 it. Thank you
Hi Margaret!
I love that you enjoyed it so much you binged the whole thing. I too felt it was the perfect length of telling the story. I cried at the end.
My favorite is the purple next is the green.
The blue green is my favorite.
That was mine at first - but I catch myself bouncing from one to the other!
I love the puzzle wool from ice. I like the 1st color you showed, the blue skein best. Hats and scarves.
Hi Joanne - looking through the comments, your choice seems to be one of the tip rating favs.
Gary, the teal and steel ( I know, right?) are so beautiful, and if used in the same project, perfection! The puzzle yarn is beautiful, also, but the super wash had me at hello!
LOL - I love the rhythm you did there!
Hi Gary,
Really like the gray tonal merino. Grays are my favorite neutral. I've heard a few CZcamsrs say Ice Yarn weight categories are different than North American. Have yet to purchase from Ice. The puzzle yarns look interesting to work with.
Have fun at your yarn festival. Very nice poppies at the end.
Hi Valerie - this is response is coming back to you a few days after the fiber festival - it was wonderful! I did get to meet a few local dyers and a new yarn shop owner that opened up a store. YAY!
Hi Gary, I love the techniques of vest. I like the orange and burgundy yarns. There is a fiber festival here where I'm at, not able to go, but that's all right next year. Have fun, Gary.
There's always next year to catch the festivals you missed this year.
I love Ice yarn. I think I get a lot of good deals. I swear they make most of the yarn for big box stores but I love their natural blends, not an acrylic lover.
I think you might be on to something there.
I Gary . I like the teal. 😊 enjoy
The teal is a pretty hank. OMG the orange puzzle is gorgeous. I thought the blue and green was great until I saw the orange. Then you showed the pink purple. I can't pick a favourite now.
LOL! I have the same delightful choice that bounces from one to the other!
Hello Gary
I liked the blue-green-turquoise and the orange-burgundy colours.
The cable west is so beautiful 💚. Gründl has also similar yarn, it's called Colour Twist (Big Ball version, acrylic, 200g / 312m). I knitted a hat and scarf set with it.
These extra fees are really interesting...DHL has never ever charged me with extra costs..
Loved the poppies at the end :) Enjoy the festival! 🐞🌞
Hello Emese,
I've heard the same thing with FedEx, DHL and UPs in the States, that they also don't charge extra for delivery. I wish we had the same thing here.
You know I'm "Googling" Grundl now... LOL!
TFS comparisons, it's so helpful. Hope you have a wonderful time at the festival. Sounds like so much fun.
Thanks so much! PS. the festival was quick but so much fun!
@@urbanyarn Oh good, glad you had so much fun 🙂 Love festivals.
Wow great choices from Ice! You have a lot of inspiration to work with. I love how Premier has now started collecting the taxes for Canadians & so no extra charges. I'm now buying from Premier. I hate getting dinged unexpectedly as well. Good information!
Oh that's great news Melinda. I also hate getting dinged!
Beautiful yarns. My favorite is the Brown / Turquoise ❤
Hi Traci! Thank you for watching and your comment.
Yarn festival sounds fun!@ ive used the wavelength, to make BOD granpas closet sweater. And it's VERY thick. 😊 have a fabulous weekend!
Good to know about the Wavelength working up into a thick material. I'll have to save it for either a super scarf or a cushion cover.
The orange is my favorite, then the purple.
LOL - Hi Laura! I'll be travelling up your way on a cruise ship in August. It's a family vacation and I haven't yet seen the itinerary.
Hi Gary hope your doing well. Love your sweater vest great job 😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much
All yummy!!❤
Those are all beautiful yarns from Ice. My favorite is the purple one. It looks a lot like Premier Puzzle yarn to me.
I agree Shirley - from what I've seen other say and from photos of the Premier Puzzle yarn.
Howdy Gary!
Howdy Lynette! Isn't it almost Camper time for Roy and you! Yay!
Hi, i made a cardigan with the Green, blue puzzle and everyone loves the color❤❤
Hi Karin - that cardigan sounds lovely!
Hi Gary. You'd be perfect to play Penfold if they ever did a live action of Danger Mouse! 😁
You keep adding more yarn to your stash. Mine has been a quest to make many projects with my stash yarn and I have been making scrap scarves with some of the yarn with plans for a ginormous blanket in the fall and winter. I might make coasters with the other yarn I have in a tote in the garage. I am also making a baby blanket and a throw so I am busy with many WIPs.
Thanks for letting me know what you are working and also have planned for the Wintery months - the blanket sounds amazing!
💜
Hi Gary, I have enjoyed watching your video. I like the purple yarn from ice yarns. I have purchased yarn from ice yarns several years ago. I love their yarns, but the shipping cost is expensive,
Hi Sharon. I do make my ICE purchases every once in a while because of the shipping and the FedEx add-on fees.
Hi Gary i think the turquoise/ green and the brown / turquoise together would make a beautiful cardigan.
But all of them are gorgeous. I just ordered some Malabrigo rios for the first time .i can't wait. I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but thinking solid granny squares cardigan.
I'm so excited for you to get your Malabrigo Rios! The days we get new yarns to squish is always a good day!
I like the burgundy marl, even though it isn't a color that suits my skin tone. S'always good to knit things for the random Gifts Box.
I like the idea to create with random yarns and putting them into the gift pile too!
I always enjoy your videos, Gary. Of the Ice yarn my favorites were the brown and blue and the orange. The Fantasy yarn from Hobbii is sort of similar.
Great tip on another substitute for the ICE Wool Puzzle!
Beautiful vest!! My favorite color is purple so any yarn that has purple in it is my favorite. Please show us what you make with the ICE yarns. Also another type of yarn that looks like the ICE yarn is Premier Puzzle yarn. I want to make a Christmas blanket for a friend of mine with The Premier Puzzle Shimmer but she has cats. I know the cats are attracted to shiny stuff so I will probably stick to the regular Puzzle yarn. Anyhow I just went off on a tangent. lol
I order from ICE once a year and I will try some of the yarn you showcased. Enjoy ur weekend!
Hi Linda - that's a great suggestion on a substitute being the Premier Puzzle. I don't think I've ever purchased any in the past - now that I think of it! I'm surprised.
Thank you for sharing what you're working on too - I love the sounds of your project.
I found the books I mentioned about the Ganseys. The main one is knitting Ganseys by Beth Brown-Reinsel and Alice Stanmore's Book of Fair ISLE. I also have Gladys Thompsons book but I used Beths book the most. Alices book is a treasure too. I hope to see you do a gansey. I said Id never make another one, haha. If you do start one, I will do another in solidarity! Mine turned out awesome thanks to those 2 books. The videos online are not really usable to learn. You should video as you go. There will be many grateful 1st time gansey makers that would thankyou!
perfect - thanks for the name of the books!
Hi, my favorite color was the purple. The extra shipping is a huge deterrent from ordering from ice, I think, one should be able to choose a shipping method! 🇨🇦
I agree Jeanette!
Hi 👋🏽 Garyyyy
Hi Andrea! I know that in the States it was Memorial Day on Monday - I was thinking of you!
@@urbanyarn hiii Gary! Yes it was. Appreciate you thinking of me; brought a tear to my eyes. Thank you very much! I was just about to close my eyes for a nap and relax on a Netflix movie that has been playing. You and yours, have an amazing week. Blessings to you! Thank you! Sending hugs, Andrea!!! ⚓️🔔💙
Gary. You're in Canada . You're wearing a toque😂❤
LOL - so true!
Hello Gary! Hank is looking very snazzy. I think you missed The Puzzle yarns from Premiere. I think, there may be about 8 or so colors. That includes a Puzzle Shimmer, with a shiny thread running through it.
Yes - that is a yarn I happened to overlook as a great substitute. With all the yarns that I've pulled from my shelves for a good stand-in, I realized I haven't ever purchased a Premier Puzzle. If I did it's deep in the past.
@@urbanyarn I have used it many times. It is soft, thick, and the stitch definition was always nice, given how busy the yarn looks. It has some great color ways!
Orange
Premier has puzzle yarns #5 bulky 100% acrylic 35 colors. As another North American choice.
Absolutely it is - I should have mentioned them too, but I've never had that in my hands.
I liked the one you said was purple. It looked burgundy to me. A
Good choice - I have trouble picking one, so I'm determined to make several items to enjoy all the colours... LOL!
Hi Gary, is your ac up high? The tree at the opening ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊 Here you are and were so happy you are!
Hi Joanneannese - it's really strange weather here. One day it's like a nice Spring day and then it's cold. I'm not complaining... LOL!
