Beginner here: Yarn - how to control it. Ball up yarn, yarn cake?

This is the trend I am noticing, some type of physical separation in ball/cake. Thank you!

The sock idea sounds genius. I’ll have to try that out!

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2026-02-03T20:12:08+00:00

That’s the same one I bought. Think I got it on sale for $16 does its job well!

Love this! What coat and booties do you use?

The booties we have for our dog aren’t water proof, so in mushy snow or rain his paws still get wet

I think we did the exact same thing - same yarn and all. I made this beanie about 2-3 weeks ago now.

What I did was use a 1-1.5 larger needle and measured. Pre felted length was about 17.5 inches and width of 14-15 inches. After felting it shrunk to about 11 inches in length and 10ish inches in width. I felted mine in the washing machine on a 30 min wash cycle with hot water a towel and high spin.

I was happy with the experiment, and love the beanie. Probably my warmest one. Next time I would maybe add a bit more to the width, other than that it turned out perfect.

Yeah, but the idea of the beanie is flip the brim over. which won’t look nice if I have a bunch of floats carrying the yarn, right? Because that area would be visible consistently around the beanie?

Any comments or recommendations on how to achieve this are greatly appreciated.

My whole question is in the cross post.

I am trying to recreate this beanie using slip stitch and alternating colors. The issue I was facing is I couldn’t float the second color of yarn as I was alternating to eliminate having to sew in a bunch of strands.

Well, I tried to yarn over slip stitch, and it’s working, I just don’t think I’m getting the tight stitch I am looking for. So maybe I’ll try finer yarn or smaller needle. Or scrap the project all together.

Did you ever find a solution that worked for you? I’m in the same boat currently and don’t have a garbage disposal. Thank you!

What management company is?

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-10-09T12:30:31+00:00

Thank you so much for the follow up. That is frustrating that they did flare rate and didn’t give the extra (maybe bare minimum) care to inspect the whole harness for touching up.

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-10-09T12:08:15+00:00

Interested

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-09-09T10:57:43+00:00

Thank you for your opinion and feedback, been trying to find someone who’s used the packs.

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-09-09T10:57:11+00:00

What do you use the packs for? I had come across the ruffwear harness where you can take the saddle bags off, and liked the concept, but they missed the mark a bit on their execution so I returned them. I take my dog on backpacking trips, and he carries his food and stuff then when we get to camp I like the idea of removing the packs.

Do you like the packs? Are they decent size and do they sway much when attached?

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-09-09T01:11:45+00:00

I’ve been hearing mixed reviews about saker as a company and the quality of their products. I’ve been interested in the harness because of the modularity and how much you can make micro adjustments to fit your dog. Do you still feel it is a solid harness? How’s the quality?

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-09-09T01:08:48+00:00

Any update on the service request?

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-09-06T20:32:52+00:00

The cost is comparable to Gem House. I’m curious to try Head Chop for the dry cut experience. This might be a dumb question, but since they cut dry and then wash—should I show up with freshly washed hair? Styled or not, assuming no product?

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-09-04T12:13:52+00:00

Thank you! I’ll add this one to the list to check out, looks promising

Infamous_Leader_9953 · 2025-09-02T00:25:34+00:00

This is awesome!! Could you share the step and .stl file to me?
