I’ve been watching the response to the last video, and I just want to say—

I really appreciate the people who sat with it.

Who watched it all the way through (it’s 6 mins long), let it unfold, and allowed themselves a moment to think about what it was actually getting at.

That kind of engagement means a lot.

New video is live…👇🏼

I’ve made a few small adjustments to how I think about hobbies.

I would recommend watching the entire video before responding.

Six minutes is generally enough time to gather the necessary context.

After that, you’re free to interpret it however you’d like.

New Patreon video is up.

This one grew out of a really good question from the Help Wanted chat thread about holding yarn double for a sweater and whether doubled yarn still behaves like itself or starts acting like a totally different yarn.

So I used that question as a jumping off point to talk through what actually changes, what stays the same, and how I’d think about those swatches in real life when choosing yarn for a garment.

It was a fun one, and a very useful rabbit hole. Patreon link below:

Sunday’s video goes live at 8:00 AM PDT, and I made a little game to go with it.

I got way too deep into the jargon in this Superwash episode, and instead of pretending that didn’t happen, I decided to make it fun. 😂

Over on Patreon I posted three Superwash Bingo boards so you can pick your poison and play along while you watch. It’s available for all Patreon members (free and paid).

If you get BINGO, drop the timestamp in the YouTube comments. If you go for BLACKOUT, I need that timestamp too.

See you Sunday!

Hello!!!

Some of you may be wondering, “where’s that superwash video Tayler said was coming?”

And by “some of you” it could be…like…nobody. But since I am working on it and it is “late”, I am probably just projecting my own anxiety about it. 😂😅🫣☠️

But yes. It is coming. I just want to tweak some things before I film it and I also want to dig a little deeper into the microplastics question…

Also…it’s spring break for us and we’re doing some fun this ‘n’ that with the boys so I’m taking a tiny break for the next couple of days.

Have a great week and I’ll see you soon!

A new Fiber for the People update is now live in the shop!

fiberforthepeople.com/

There’s fresh yarn on several different bases while I wait for the next batch of Nevada Merino Rambouillet to come in later this spring, including some Wuthering Heights inspired colorways on a gorgeous alpaca, merino, and silk base.

Also, Branden and I are officially introducing FFTP socks (a hearty blend of Merino and Nylon), which has been such a fun new direction for us. They’re lightweight, cozy, one of a kind, and very much the beginning of a new little side quest.

Very excited about where all of this is headed.

I tried something a little different over on Patreon last week.

After finishing Wuthering Heights, I recorded a quiet knit-with-me video where I talk about my experience reading it (as a voice over) while I sit with one of my 20 minute candles and work on my knitting. It’s not a formal review or analysis, but rather a calm, reflective stream of consciousness about the book and what it felt like to read it for the first time.

I also uploaded a completely silent version of the same knit-with-me for anyone who just wants some candlelit knitting time in the background while they work on their own projects.

Both are over on Patreon if that kind of cozy content sounds appealing to you.

Either way, I hope your knitting (and reading) is going well this week.

Hellooo! (to be read in the voice of Mrs. Doubtfire ☺️)

You may have noticed there wasn’t a Tuesday/Thursday upload this week. I’m doing my usual quarterly shuffle…just adjusting the rhythm a bit to see what fits our (my family and my) current season best.

That said… this week’s video is going up on Saturday, and I’m genuinely excited about it. It’s one of those deeper-dive topics that sent me down a very interesting rabbit hole. I won’t say much yet, but I think it’s going to spark some thoughtful conversation around here.

In the meantime, if you’re a Patreon member (or if you’ve been curious about joining) there’s a new video up over there exploring whether softness in yarn might be…a little overrated? It pairs nicely with where my brain has been lately.

Thank you for always rolling with the schedule tweaks as I refine things. See you Saturday.

Hi friends!

I just wanted to take a sec and say thank you for the really kind response to my Sea Silk video. I’m genuinely honored that so many of you enjoyed that little deep dive (pun absolutely intended). I loved making it, and I really love exploring these fiber arts adjacent topics here on the channel, so hearing that you’re enjoying them means a lot to me.

I’m still working my way back through the comments over there, but I wanted to say thank you right here as well.

Also, I’m going to take a short break from filming this week. This weekend I got knocked sideways by what I can only describe as an allergy fueled head cold situation (it's so unseasonably warm that my histamines just don't know if they're coming or going), and it took me out more than I expected. So I’m using this week to rest, get my feet back under me, keep developing a couple videos I have in the works, and get caught up on my Year of Hats knitting.

I’ve got some really fun ideas coming, and I’m excited to share them with you soon.

❤️
