Only because I previously read the comments about your voice I wanted to say I notice a difference and it indeed sounds more natural and relaxed. Off to watch the whole review now but wanted to comment before I forget.
Thank you for the feedback! :)
Would love to see a pure merino comparison video! Like the knitting for olive 100% merino fingering weight. Thank you for the thorough review, am going through and bingeing all your vids. I am new to the States so it's really handy that you mention availability of yarns here (previously I was in Australia and had easy access to gorgeous 100% merino wools at my local store)
Welcome! We are so happy to hear you are enjoying them! We will absolutely add that one to our list!:)
Am knitting with KFO cotton/merino for first time, getting exactly the gauge stated! Very soft and delicate, considering it a light fingering. Modifying the Slightly Sassy V, by Aimee Scher, which is written for a sport weight yarn. Have done my best math, erred a bit on row gauge, making one size larger than my measurements call for.🤞
That sounds like a fun project! Happy to hear that you're enjoying it:)
I've only tried Knitting For Olive Merino, Cotton Merino, and the Soft silk mohair, and they are all 5/5 yarns for me. I've never tried the cashmere or heavy merino, and I've definitely heard a lot of ppl complain about the heavy merino. People also complain about the knitting experience with the Pure silk, but I've heard that most people end up loving the finished garment, so it ends up being worth it. I recently bought some Pure silk, but I haven't tried knitting with it yet.
Yes, we had similar experiences with the Heavy Merino and Pure Silk shared in our review videos. We would love to hear your thoughts after working with it!:)
This was such a great review and so helpful!! I was so unimpressed by the heavy merino I had sworn off knitting for olive. But the colors they offer are so great I am excited to try the cotton merino!!
We would love to hear your thoughts if you decide to try it out!:)
I enjoy your reviews, especially the comparison reviews. I'm currently considering Drops Cotton Merino so I'm interested in reviews on this blend.
Thank you for the kind words! Stay tuned for next week as you may enjoy our 3 yarn cotton merino comparison video!
This is available at both of my local yarn stores, so I think a lot of people will be able to get it locally if not always in the full color range
We are happy to hear that!:)
