Anybody here knit…..collect hand dyed yarn?

Gilly knitter

I’ve searched on here and found some knitters ( crocheters) from a few years back but wonder if I’m alone here in my rather obsession of yarn?

  • You are not alone! Defo not alone. Dawn and Triker are the same I just read and so am I. I literally have lots of tins and boxes full of materials and fabrics. Got lots of adorable buttons. Every year I make myself a new soft hat and scarf. Like Dawn said it meets my sensory needs which shop bought stuff never does.

    It's also so soft to hold and touch. I used to sit with my gran and watch her make clothes, baskets and dolls. She taught me so much about it.

    Funny you mention the B----- word. I can't handle clothes that have the round fastening things. I think it's my Synesthesia I can't deal with the object or the word - makes me sick. Wierd, huh?

    But oddly, I started knitting because I needed cardies which don't have them.

    With yarns, I have a thing about self phasing yarns, repetitive stitches while colour generally changes through your fingers, transfixes me.
