How is Yarn is Made?

It's almost unfathomable that in centuries past, all these industrial processes were done manually by hand. There's so much work that goes into producing yarn, but it's become so invisible that most of us just take it for granted since large scale industrial operations have made it so cheap. When things are cheap, people don't care about them.

I love yarns. Thank you so much for producing this vid. It's really great.

I started crocheting about 2 months ago and wow. Seeing this makes me incredibly grateful to have access to yarn. Imagine crocheters in Victorian times for example. Seeing how something is made or where it comes from will make you appreciate it immensely. Thank you for sharing!!

Wow, Mikey, this brings back so many memories from my childhood. My grandparents were in textiles production, from the beginning stages of creating the fiber threads and spinning, all the way to weaving fabrics, and making garments. In their case it was actually women's undergarments. I would spend hours on end in the little factory, running between the machines, fascinated by the entire process. But it was noisy as hell in there.😂😂
Years later, when I happened to be traveling in Ireland, I got to a small yarn mills and as I entered it, I burst out crying because the smell was exactly the same as in my grandparents factory, and it just flooded me with so many emotions.

after watching this I'm not angry at my first encountered knot-in-a-yarn sitiuation here ;-;. I thought that maybe yarn was made in like one continuos strand and that was spun to the shape we know and when one long strand ends before the ball length is reached it's tied. Or that it was the result of bad management or something ;-;. But now I'll be happy to see knots in my yarn. Because that means I got a special skien of yarn. One that could have been somewhere living with plastic and trash, But now is a beautiful creation.

This is one of my favourite “behind the scenes” videos of yarn manufacturing. ♥️ TFS!

I absolutely LOVE these videos. I find it fascinating to watch how things are made and you do a fantastic job narrating, Mikey!! I can't wait for your next one.

[wendyd]

Thanks Mikey!! This was very interesting, thanks for sharing this process with us! Such a process!

[kimberlyhoward]

That was awesome. I love "how it's made" videos. That's also the reason I watch your crochet pattern videos, even though I've been crocheting for a very long time🤗💗.

[nushratgt]

thank you for sharing how awesome the manufacturing industry is ! and how it connects to crochet :)

[meetshadowtheshepkita]

Great praise to all you knitters, weavers and those who crochet I’d take a break from Cricut if I’d learned to macramé. Thank you to soft and fluffy sheep, for sharing your warm coats May acrylic mixes save you from some knicks-es and being caught bare in the cold.

[francesyamashita]

This video has given me an appreciation of the yarn that I buy! Thank You for giving that to me.

[tammybrennan]

I really loved watching this! Now I’m not so pissed at the knots either lol

Awesome! My family history goes back to New England and my ancestors were weavers. Came to America about 1635. They owned and worked in woolen mills spinning wool. Automation put them out of jobs by the early 2oth Century. I love to knit and crochet too. This was a very interesting video. I would like to know where and how the acrylic yarn process starts. It is actually a liquid made from crude oil, I think. How about a video on that process?

[Rita-cdbj]

Mikey, you have got to go back further in the yarn making process... Acrylic yarn is a mand made fiber that actually starts off Liquid. Please show this process

[denischablyther]

Thank you for sharing. this was very informative.. Thank you for all your hard work. God bless you.

Props to the dude reading this info off to us. "Rub roving" is a mini tongue twister.

I worked in a textile factory here in Australia years ago, the processes were similar. that Gilling machine, . well we had 1st 2nd and 3d stage drawing, and in my section fed the spinners directly. we used either TEX or I think it was Worsted yarn count. That place made Patons yarn as well. Knots in the balling stage they always had issues with.
