I'm weaving in ends on a big project and this came up on an autoplay. What a fun watch. Thanks for recommending these - they're all great. Big Twist gets slept on so hard.
Cool! After watching you’re review of truboo I was a bit hesitant, but it does split.
Hi girl! I totally thought I responded to this but I appreciate you for supporting me and stopping by to say hi! I adore watching your videos, stay creative 🥰💓
Lmao! I was watching one of your videos before watching this one. 😂
@@mimato lol same!!!
Oh hello tony
Thank you for giving an honest review of the “cheap” yarns that other stitchers complain about. As a newer crocheter I don’t want to spend a lot for something I will probably mess up. Although I’m jealous that your stores have such a huge selection of yarns.
you can always buy from the same stores online! and if you don't like the yarn you can return some of the items in store, i do see that ur comment is a year old tho so do you still crochet?!
i’m literally so jealous of your joann’s store 😂
my joann is so tiny and mostly fabric that we literally have ONE TINY aisle dedicated to yarn
We don’t even have joann’s 🥲💔
I feel the same but with micheals at micheals there’s one tiny isle we do have a Joan’s but it’s farther away
I don’t even think there’s a Joann’s in my country 😫 there’s not many stores that specifically sell yarn and I have to go to shops which have very tiny yarn sections and they usually only sell worsted weight acrylic and milk cotton yarn and rarely there’s chenille yarn in stock but I can only find really tiny crochet hooks like 1.00 to 3.00 mm or 12.00 to 15.00 mm hooks so I either have to triple my yarn to use my 12.00 mm hook or struggle a lot with my 3.00 hook which I have currently lost so I’m downgraded to 2.50 mms! There’s only shops like daiso or day to day or greenhouse which have tiny yarn sections but never big sections. 🥺
SAME
@@I-ate-ranpos-snacks SAMEEEEEE
I also love the Big Twist basic. Its soft, you get good amount of yardage and it comes in so many colors. I hope they have a good black Friday deal on it soon. Last year I bought a bunch of colors for under $2 each.
Yes exactly, when I use coupons I get big twist for like $2.20 a ball!!!
Wanted to just let you know that since Hobby Lobby is a no go for you anymore, Knit Picks sells a 100% acrylic that's so soft and squishy. I JUST got it and never used it before but it seems like it'll be my acrylic go to now. Think the worsted is 220 yards for 2.99 but I've seen it on sale for like $1.80 a skein!
They also have a jumbo ball version for this yarn that I think is comparable to the one pounders. Not sure tbh but it's good pricing but has less color options.
Hope I helped!
Wow thank you so much for telling me! I appreciate you giving me other suggestions as well because I’m definitely going to have to switch over!
That’s crazy I had never heard about them before like that, so now I change 😊
And that price isn’t terrible either!!
Why switching over from Hobby Lobby?
Omg, only $1.80 for a skein on sale? I’m getting ripped off at my local pharmacy which sells it for $2.50 on sale
Hobby lobby is the only store near me, so I unfortunately don’t have a choice :(
Whats wrong w/ hobby lobby
I went and bought some Big Twist a few weeks ago because I needed it for something. I was SUPER hesitant at first, because it used to be so scratchy (years ago). I don't know what they did, if they switched to a different manufacturer or their current manufacturer bought new machinery, but it's working for them. I absolutely love it for blankets now.
Would definitely try to buy yarn online. My favorite online shops are LoveCrafts and Hobbii yarn! Both have reviews with pictures and ship super fast and the colors are pretty accurate in person
Yes I’ve been using lovecrafts recently and I’m pretty happy with their yarn and service! 💓
I highly recommend bernat softee cotton. They don’t have a ton of color options(they have a baby version and a regular version that are the same thing) but it’s super soft and it’s always on sale at Joann. I think it’s 40 or 60% cotton, but it’s so soft and it can drape nicely too. Also, Michael’s carries a lot of the lion brand yarn and some bernat yarns. For people in the UK or in Europe, I recommend drops yarn :)
Yes! You can find it at Walmart too, it was the first yarn I ever used and I love it!
i love big twist yarn!! by far the best acrylic i've ever used
Great video. I have worked with Big Twist and I Love This Yarn. I make sweaters and cardigans and I have been very happy with both brands - affordable, quantity, color selection. Also, the finished product seems to wear well. I have knitted and crocheted garments with both brands.
I know you said they both wear well, but in your experience does one pill more than the other?
i could watch vlogs like this all daaay hahah 💗 and i’m so impressed with the huge variation of yarn on the shelves!! here in brazil it’s really hard to find it on physical store. so i love seeing it!
Oh my gosh I didn’t know that yarn was really that scarce in Brazil! I’m so thankful I have places nearby me - really makes me grateful ❤️❤️
The only store in Brazil that I know with yarns shelves like in this video is Caçula.
I loved this!! I’m pretty newish to crocheting so this was really helpful. I’m currently getting ready to go yarn shopping now lol thank you for this! x
Shiny sheen in is called Stellina. It's basically tinsel. Definitely adds a nice touch to some yarns. I mostly use merino wool for myself, however there are some acrylics that are just heaven. I also used Truboo for a cardigan for my mom. She loves it, it's so incredibly soft.
Love that celery color and the silkiness. The Lion Brand wool is nice to crochet. I haven't tried the Big Twist but I will if it's softer and less expensive. Love the colors of Big Twist.
Do more of these yarn shopping/ yarn review videos !! I loved it!
If you haven’t checked out the Big Twist Living anti-pulling yarns yet, I totally recommend picking up a few skeins when they go on sale. They’re even softer and buttery! I absolutely love them and they frequently go on sale for as low as $2.50 each!
I agree with the Woolease thick and twist…my fave for hats😍😍😍
Always makes my day when I see a new Erin b video!
I've used the lionbrand Wool Ease yarn to make some scarves for my sister and mum. It's actually soooo good, I usually hate wool cause its scratchy but this yarn is actually great. Two balls of it does work for a scarf as it mentions, I used a 9mm hook and had a 150 chain to begin it 👍🏻
Have you ever used a knit loom? Some of the tough yarns can be used on them. I have made two strand washcloths with scrubby yarn and cotton together.
Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn is the best yarn ever made, like butter! Every other week all of their yarn is 30% off. So on those weeks their I love this yarn brand is the same price as scratchy red heart (3.79) 😊
Hi Erin. Love your video. If you are looking for a t-shirt like yarn, I would recommend Bernat maker home dec, its close to a textile yarn. I started off with Bernat and made blankets with Bernat blankets and beanies with Bernat baby velvet. I love cotton brands, my go to are caron cotton cakes, lily sugar’n cream. For Acrylic yarns, a good find would be the caron one pound, caron simply soft, I love how it gives you a very nice soft feel and not to mention Big Twist, affordable find. 😉 enjoy!
OMG! I love the yarns you've chose! I buy only Big Twist because its cheaper and OMG the selections!
The Big Twist Textile yarn was very nice for a basket project I made, but overall I felt like I spent too much for the amount of yarn I got. I highly recommend the Hobbii Ribbon yarn as an alternative! More bang for your buck and more color selection too!!
Yes yes thank you sooo much!! I’ve been on hobbii a few times and really wanted to purchase from them so now I can get their tshirt yarn too! 💓💓💓
@@itserinb also hobbii bungee mini is similar to big twist textile if you’re looking for a yarn like textile. They offer bulk discounts as well if you get multiple skeins and it counts for mix and match colors.
I loved finding you and what fun to see all your recommendations. We have a lot of the same tastes in yarn.
I love buying yarn! Its so fun! Also WOW that's a lot of yarn in that store!
Sugars n cream yarn is my FAVORITE it’s cotton and it’s WONDERFUL about 175 yards each skein? For like 1-2 dollars
I recently got into crocheting and I love using yarn bees yarn
I love these videos! excited 💖💖💖
I'm making a moss rug and I got some of the wool-ease! I agree. idk much about yarn/fiber types but its working really well haha. I also just got into wool felting and crochet lmao I'm supposed to be packing for school but I'm making tiny mushrooms💀
im crocheting a shirt with the big twist rn and its super soft on your skin
Alize yarn is great I buy it on Amazon. Diva stretch Alize yarn is good for tops and bikinis bottoms. Great vid.❤🌻
Love big twist!
I love your yarn shopping videos🌸
Hey! By the way I love your videos and I just wanted to let you know that I got the big twist textile yarn from a Joanns that is a little far away from me but usually they have it in Joanns that are in bigger towns/cities. So maybe try that if it’s not at your local Joanns☺️
Can't wait to see you work on the new colors of yarn. Super excited E.
i have recently been obsessed with crochet and am looking to start a buisness!! i love it!!!
Pima cotton is a very soft cotton and great for clothing/baby items (summer).
Es un sueño ese lugar donde tu compras 😍
En Costa Rica no hay tantas variedad ni lugares así Dios me daría gusto comprar asi
Yes! I LOVE Big Twist yarn! :)
can’t wait! 😍
Dang your Joann's store is so organized and stocked! Mine is disappointing every time :(
I love big twist i use it alot
So much variety of wool that is not scratchy at all! Wool also has some many benefits that you don’t get from acrylic. Wool helps regulate your temperature and stays cleaner. Would also stay away from the hand dyed yarn at hobby lobby, it is so cheap that it is obvious the people who have dyed the yarn are not getting paid a fair wage
Do you have any yarn brands or types of wool that aren't itchy to sensitive skin you can recommend? I'd love to get into more natural fibers, but my body tends to disagree with whatever typed I've tried.
@@bloomwiththestars merino wool is well known for being soft. I would check out cascade yarn as a step into nice and affordable wool yarn. Peace fleece (brand name) is also great American wool/mohair combo that is very affordable and comes in lots of colors
coboo and lily sugar and cream/peaches and create is really good as well
You are so fortunate to have such amazing stores selling beautiful yarns. We don't have so much in the Philippines...yarns are so expensive here. God's Great Graces!
living vicariously through this video bc i have no money to go yarn shopping
Coboo is another good one by lionbrand very similar too truboo. Thanks for this video😊😊
Bernat Softee Cotton is a Great option for Swimwear, it has a good texture and nice to crochet with. :)
I made a beanie out of the I Love this Yarn, and I LOVED it. 100% recommend
I live in Jakarta Indonesia, where can I buy these yarn ?
Yarn selection is limited where I live in Jamaica and it's pricey compared to America. One ball of red heart super saver yarn cost JMD 1500. I've only seen about 3 different brands, and the colours are limited.
I like learning about what's available in different places so thank you for sharing your experience yarn shopping in Jamaica. It's too bad you have such a limited selection of yarn -- has it gotten any better over the last 2 years?
Hey! Just got my hook and yarn in today and am super excited to start some things, but i have a slight problem. My left hand (that i'm holding the yarn with) starts hurting really bad. I was just wondering if this maybe happened to you when you first started, or if you have any possible solutions i could try! :) You are absolutely amazing btw!
love how she still goes i still look beautiful even though i didnt curl my hair cos must youtubes would say i look crusty musty
U guys are blessed to have such a wide selection of yarn 😭 where I am the yarns are very small and colors are limited, also the quality of the yarn is pathetic 😭
i love crocheting
I live in NY and there is no Joann's near me and that sucks because never can buy the Big twist when they go on sale!
Have you tried hobbi? They have a wide section of cotton yarn 😊
I‘m so jealousss, I think germany doesn’t have stores like that, we have some stores that sell yarn but the aisle is usually very small, at least for my city🥲
Hi Erin! I wanted to ask how many hours a day and days in a week do you crochet? I like to marathon crocheting, but I realized it's not very great for my hands.
If you're interested, there are some great YT videos of little exercises you can do while crocheting to help your back, hands, wrists, etc. I've also tried something that was recommended in one of the videos, which is to take a quick break about every 20 minutes to rest these parts of you body, stretch them out, and then come back in a few minutes or whenever you like.
And finger stretches. We are advised when studying to look away into the distance at intervals. One should do finger stitches. Some love fingerless gloves and say they make the hands feel better and go longer. Regular crocheting can preserve hand function for some arthritis sufferers. I think crocheting and knitting has save my hand function. I get oven mitt hands sometimes and I hate it, but less so than of i had to tried to keep function with hand crafts.
Wish to have a store like that here in Philippines...one of ur fan here in Phil's I really love ur handmades... godbless
Is there anything better than getting coffee and shopping for wool
Have you tried the Alize Diva Stretch yarn for bikini’s yet? It’s a super small yarn but it’s elastic and water resistant!
The I love this yarn, actually comes with a free pattern. That is what the picture was.
I have a great idea for your next video do a other yarn shopping in Michaels and lobby pick up bernat baby banklet they are best yarns to use
I actually have all of the colors you showed from hobby lobby and love their yarns. Their cotton yarn is awesome
i'm so jealous! i live in Australia so I don't have any of those stores!!
Joanns carries the big twist t-shirt yarn. I have gotten it there in store maybe go to another store
danggg so jealous! our yarn here is kinda expensive
LoveCrafts has a cotton t-shirt yarn called Hoooked Zpagetti Solid.
and also one from Paintbox yarns. Paintbox yarns has become my inexpensive go-to yarn.
I just like the one basic Red heart super saver brand 😂
Hello!! Question, do you know where I can find sparkly yellow yarn? I'm making a KDA themed jacket with golden stripes and I don't know where to find it.
came back to this video tp tell you west haven yarn by hobby lobby is a truboo dupe
I am so jealous. In my whole town there are like two shops that are selling wool and tbh there isnt a great choice. Like only 5 different colours and two thickness levels are existing here. It is frustrating
In my country yarn isn't as available, there's a shop that does have one isle of yarn but they are expensive so I go to the chain store hua ho and there's only literally *one* shelf of yarn that's affordable and there isn't much choice but at least the colors are pretty
I love yarn
I love this yarn is goat
I have an observation with yarn. I buy it for the color ,the feel ,quality , price and then pick a project and go back to get more. Does that make me crazy?!?
Fluffier yarns can also pill very easily. Please update us if pilling becomes an issue.
Hi!! Yes over time my big twist does pull after washing, so I need a really good acrylic that doesn’t. So far the “I love this yarn” hasnt pilled!!
omg it's very cheap the yarn over there 😱 in brazil it's a little expensive
Holy crap yarn is so much cheaper in the US 😯
Im saving money to do this 😂
I hope we have store here in the Philippines. 😊😊😊💜💜
Hobby Lobby doesn't have the coupon anymore as of February -thanks to some people who were angry they couldn't use the coupon on furniture that is always 30% off and decided to sue- , but every other week the yarn goes 30% off! :)
Sad face.
It doesn't matter because all of their yarn is 30% off every other week ❤❤❤
thank yewwwww
What else can you make with truboo yarn ?
You can make anything with DK/sport yarn, the truboo would be good for light summery tops!!
Son las lanas muy bonitas quien estuviera hay pues me gusta el ganchillo mucho es mi preferido
Excelente 👍🧶🧶
3:58
literally in the middle of a beanie with that yarn when i saw whattt
4:28 and that one is right next to me uhh im so scared
What is your favorite yarn for amigurumi

Could you tell me which website you ordered truboo ?
On Joann or michaels! 💖
Omg ... its a bit expensive here in the UK 🥲
Thanks!
hi denise!! thank you so much for supporting me
What yarn do you recommend at Michaels?
Similar stuff like Joanns! I like Lion brand hometown/ wool ease / and shawl in a ball! Recently the michaels brand “impeccable yarn” is very affordable and pretty good quality for standard worsted weight yarn!!
Is no one going to mention the sale on the chunky yarn?
Its very2..amazing..🤩🤩
Who else watches these while knitting?
love ur videos what editing app do u use?
Hi!! I use Final Cut Pro 💓
