It's not really new yarn, is it? Just pretty packaging. Having said that, I think it might make a great gift for someone new to crocheting. Add a hook and a link to your channel and voila!
Does anyone know if the yarn used in Caron Colorama come in regular skeins? I thought that might be a "new" yarn, of course it's just a self striping bulky 5 acrylic but I'm not sure if Caron already had that?
That was my reaction too. If it were a better quality, I'd think about it. Between that and the price, I'll pass. I may be wrong but I think I read that one of those in the regular yarn is the same size as a normal super saver. I'd rather deal with knots and get more yarn for the price.
@@KittyKraftStudio yes, it's the same as red heart super saver
I love that idea of using it as a gift.
@@naevisualizer Red Heart Super Saver is a different O'Go, it's a 4 weight yarn not a 5. I don't think Joann carries those, but I found the Caron Coloramo 5 weight ones there and they feel a lot softer to me as well.
for someone with extreme wrist issues, untangling is the bane of my existence, this format seems great for making yarn more accessible and easier for specific disabilities from my personal experience!!
I agree have nerve damage in my neck that causes spasms in my arms so can’t wait to give it a try🥰
honestly, as an accessibility aid for people with low/limited fine motor control, elderly people, or people with joint issues (like arthritis) I’m all on board!! It’s a shame it’s more expensive, because this feels like it’s meant to be a way to help people start/keep crafting but the price point’s just as likely to turn people off the product :(
It's not more expensive, the same amount of yards in the different formats cost the same 😀
Ok but your HAIR! It is soooo pretty!
Right? So striking!
Toni is looking like a star today!
That was exactly my thought too. Hair looking gorgeous today 😍
"Honey it feels like acrylic what you want me to say"
I burst into laughter
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just so much truth in that moment, even my husband chuckled!
Hilariously honest... pay more for hideous yarn... lol!
Same!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly!
I love that you had a celebrity moment at the store! Fun! 😍
Not only are your videos so informing and also calming; but as a former retail worker, it was just heartwarming to see how easily and kindly you interacted with the person who delivered your yarn. Your personality doesn't just seem 'for the video', but seems like a genuine representation of a part of you. Thanks for this video and all the others, always looking forward to seeing more!
I don't really anticipate this yarn staying around for the long haul. I would rather get the same thing in a cake or skein for less money. Even though I can afford their unique concept, it feels wasteful, from the higher price to the packaging. If they could come up with a way to incorporate more yarn into the concept at that price, then I would probably be sold on it 😊
My thoughts too! The packaging seemed a bit much. I do appreciate the idea n creative thoughts but a well written yarn band is what I’m looking for
Well said!
Not to mention, the larger volume probably makes it more expensive to for them to ship it to stores (since it takes up more space in a truck). So the price is always going to be a bit higher... and it doesn't really sound like enough of a game-changer to justify that.
This could work if they corrected the storage. There’s literally no reason for it to be made into that ring shape. DLana makes a rustic merino wool in a similar put up but it is in a log shape and from what ive seen, it’s a Very convenient put up in that form. I used it for a sweater and I travel a lot with my projects and in my experience it was a lot more preferable to cakes and skeins.
Yeah, I'm not into the wasteful packaging. Even if it were superior in every way, I wouldn't buy something that creates another problem with excessive packaging.
I don’t even do yarn crafts, but CZcams told me to play this video so I did. Then I found myself watching the whole video just because you’re so enjoyable to watch! I have no idea what the crochet terminology you’re using means, and it doesn’t even matter. You are just so excellent! Also, your blanket is beautiful and your nails are fabulous. ❤️
This comment! Never tried yarn crafts but she’s so inviting!
She's one of the best!
You're gonna become one of us, I just feel it in my bones :)
Kim stick around crocheting is a blast?!
Yes, she did a great review of this new yarn.
Your hair is beautiful. My question is why Yarnspirations couldn’t achieve the easy pull tangle free in cake forms without all the cardboard bulk. I feel like the customers are paying more for way less yardage.
right, they should just wind the skeins better and this wouldn’t be “necessary”
According to all the websites the yardage is the same the difference is the price which they’re explaining as the way each O’go is put together to get make them tangle free.
@@kbryant7219 we know the yardage for the blanket yarn is the same, for $2.00 more. Why are you charging your customers $2.00 for cardboard packaging when they have to recycle? Just asking.
@@preciousbeautyj1043 The Crochet Crowd said they are charging more in order to pay for the new machinery they had to buy in order to make the yarn like this. So they're literally passing off the cost to the customer. Gimmick.
@@rootsandwingsboutique that’s beyond ridiculous. 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
I bought a yarn winder for $30 online, and I find caking my yarn provides me with a tangle free experience! Perhaps it could be handy for someone just starting out, but I feel this is a niche product that will be short lived!
I ball my yarn by hand (it sucks just as much as you think) and when I do that I get all the knots and tangles out while doing that. One it is in a ball I’m good to go
mostly unrelated to the video, but I've started taking care of the yarn section at the craft store I work at, so I spend a lot of time in those aisles. naturally, people would stop and ask me questions, and I didn't have the answers! (I paint and make jewelry, so it's not my area of expertise). Channels like yours have helped me to learn about yarn crafts so I can better help customers. I even started to crochet myself! Thank you for your informative, helpful, and entertaining content!
I remember when regular old yarn was tangle free. Now almost every skein takes an hour or more to untangle the entire thing!!
I remember the regular old yarn too! Can we dream they'll bring it back???
The O’go doesn’t interest me but my Goodness that Catnap blanket is GORGEOUS!!!!!
right!! the free pattern is in the description😉
I guess I'm a little too frugal for O-Go. I will stick with using my yarn winder and caking my skeins before starting a project.
Even when I work straight off a pat/skein, I don't usually have issues with tangles, so I'm just not getting the whole point.
I agree completely! I’ve never had tangling problems, perhaps we are just lucky!
Same. I need a good winder
@@Keishabarnett69 I really like the knit pro one, it's on Amazon it's a purple colour scheme in the pics but comes in diff colours
@@C.Woodford thanks so much! I'll look for it now.
This is the first unbiased review of O'Go that I've seen, thank you! Also, and totally off topic, your nails are beautiful.
To me it’s a total gimmick! A total waste of cardboard. I guess I just don’t understand what’s so hard about giving yarn lovers a pull tab. Many of the international yarn companies do it, why can’t U.S. manufacturers do it?
From what I've heard that pull tab is an owned patent so not just any company can use it. They would have to pay for the rights.
@@sarahvail6414 it's really not difficult to find substitutes though
Also with the colour work side of "roll the colours into individual balls" that removes the whole purpose of buying the o go surely 🥴
Most of the yarn is manufactured outside the US, and I agree w/you as to a pull tab. Has nothing to do w/paying for patent. I’ve had yarn from RH when it was owned by Coats &Clark with pull tabs, I have other yarns that have pull tabs or yarn that’s wind w/a pull end hanging out. The manufacturers have either gotten lazy or don’t care.
@@sarahvail6414 I dont know. I've bought yarn from Hobium (Turkey) and Hobbii (Denmark) that had pull tabs. I think it's a matter of laziness and a total insensitivity to their customers. So they come up with gimmicky overpriced stuff like this.
Mmmh more expensive for the same exact yarn, plus it makes more plastic waste (the thread inside that you have to cut) and more paper waste than a regular skein/ball. Moreover they didn't care to avoid one of the biggest problems (in my opinion) of multicolored cakes (having at the beginning or at the end one short piece of the colour at the opposite end), giving it no real advantage compared to a regular cake. And it being knotless was a lie (I did wonder how they could make a completely knotless chenille yarn), which wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't trumpeted it a lot before release. Cherry on top, the technology is patented, so only yarnspiration can make this type of balls. Maybe it's tangle free, but it's a no in my book
Absolutely agree. My first thought when I heard about this new yarn format was "Why are they adding single use plastic to yarn right when the climate crisis is at peak importance?!?!" I mean, this is acrylic yarn anyway, so it's already plastic, but at least you get use out of whatever you make from it before it goes straight to pollution, but that plastic tie makes this a hard no from me.
Whenever I trim yarns, it goes into a stuffing bag. Bits of scrap fabric too small to work with, threads too short to sew with, all of that in there. The next time I make a plushie, I stuff it with cut-down small pieces of whatever is in my stuffing bag instead of fiber-fill. It helps reduce the waste a bit!
@@dracofirex this is genius!!!
@@BRhymesss Thanks
Just started a hat with this and travel is easy as cake. I just fold it in half and put it in my purse. It's soft and nice to use. The pull is smooth and tangle free. It crochets up beautifully.
The Bernat Blanket O'Go is the same amount of yarn as a regular skein but costs $4 more, at least at Jo-Ann online.
Once again, as with every time the big yarn companies try to reinvent the wheel on packaging, I'm left thinking, eh I'd just wind that into a big cake. The only way i could see ever carrying that yarn snake around on the go would be to stuff it in an old stocking or mesh tube. It looks like one ought to be able to use it by pulling it out of the end fairly smoothly since it won't have to turn or tumble like an outside-pull ball or cake.
i would really just recommend everyone saving up that $4 difference per skein and investing in a good heavy duty ball winder (the kind with metal gears rather than plastic), which will last forever and pay for itself over time in both yarn dollars and frustration saved. you can turn your scraps into seamless palette cakes or self-stripers with russian joins, just like the gimmicky ones but cheaper and you get to pick the colors yourself!
Not to mention that the opposite end of the yarn unravels and tangles. Horrible format! I’ll never pirchase again!
Were did you buy yours from? Would like to buy one. Thanks 😊
Love your review, for myself i am going to classify this yarn as a novelty/fad yarn
I am really not into gimmicks so I doubt I will try it. I also prefer long smooth color transitions. Thanks for the honest review. Hugs Mare
I was skeptical at first, but once I started using the center pull I was completely converted. I love how smoothly this yarn unwinds from the center. I would buy yarn in this format quite often if it were available - BUT - they use way too much packaging. I’ve seen this format with a simple label band from other brands and I think they need to consider reducing packaging. They won’t stand up on shelves, but think of the trees they’d save! 🤣
I'm on my third skein of the colorama, I did a center pull on all of them with no knots, no barf and no collapsing. I don't like paying extra for the same amount of yarn that I can get in a traditional skein. If tangles and yarn barf are a deal breaker for you, then O'Go is what you need.
Price and storage are my issues with this. I'd rather stick with cakes and skeins. So ... No Go with O'Go.
Maybe it’s the “I’ve been crocheting for +20years” in me, but I don’t see the point in these new o-go yarn from Yarnspirations - I agree with the comments that say that they would probably turn this into a Cake after buying it, specially if Yarnspirations starts making most of their brands and yarns in these new o’gos, which I heard somewhere else they will.
I love how you said yarnspirations isn't saying they're trying to reinvent the wheel, and YET!!! The yarn is being sold in a wheel shape! LOL This is not for me due to wasted space to store these wheels and the wasted packaging.
I actually chuckled when she said that 😂 And yeah I am gonna stick to my other yarns..way easier to store
Good point. "Not reinventing the wheel" would've been taking more care when manufacturing current product, no more knots in bullet skeins, etc. Literally putting these in wheel form is reinventing the skein!
Good point! In my view that's exactly what they've tried to do here, reinvent the skein!
Omg love the blanket! I won't bother trying the O Go delivery system because I don't have much of a yarn barf issue with cakes and I can cake up any skein I deem bothersom. So there is no reason for me to pay more for it. However, it does bother me that they have issued some new colors just for the O Go format. For this reason I will not even look at them when yarn shopping. That feels too much like forcing my hand...oh you can only get this color in this format. Your choice is buy it this way for a dollar more, or not buy it at all. I do love that the companies are still thinking and trying to be innovative and will never hold that against them. You gave a lovely review. Thank you.
You always do the best reviews and I value your opinions. Thank you for this very thorough video!
I'm definitely going to buy some O'Gos after buying this! I'm excited to try a new type of yarn! Thanks for the review. Btw, this video is unlisted. I'm not sure if that was intentional, but I found it by accident going through your playlists.
I am alway so grateful for your reviews. You are so meticulous and clear. And your information is everything I wanted to know! Thank you so much!
Thanks for your review. I don’t see myself making an O’Go purchase, but that’s okay-it’s not for everyone. 🌷
Would just like to say congrats on 300k subs xx
What I love about you is you can take any yarn and make something beautiful out of it. I trust your opinion. Thank you for just being you.
Have to say, the cat makes the blanket look very comfortable
I recently made myself a throw using Bernat Blanket & Baby Blanket yarns (to get all the colors I wanted I had to use both products). Then my cats started coming into my room in the mornings to wake me up, to "knead" the new blanket, walk all over me, practically make love to my new blanket! (They are all neutered, but that's what it felt like.) Thank goodness I bought 2x as much yarn as I needed. I'm now making something for them, and went back to using my old blanket until I'm done with their kitty couch (it's a Red Heart pattern for worsted but I'm converting it to a Blanket pattern). Cats just seem to love the feel of Bernat Blanket yarn!
Thanks for your review of this yarn! Amma pass and stick with what I've been doing. You said it right when you said it was gimmicky!
Your reviews are always fair. I don't use blanket yarn, so no appeal for me. I also avoid excessive packaging, so again, no appeal for me. But I am glad I watched this review.
Congrats on 300K! Cheers to many more.
I'll be passing on this yarn. I recently found cotton mill ends at a bargain store. In 7 one pound bags, 3 balls per bag, I have yet to find a knot and all started easily from center and outside. At least they didn't decrease yardage in addition to increasing the price.
thank you for mentioning the supply and the pandemic! I am so exhausted in being the receiving end of complaints (and even insults) upon the bared shelves at the crafts store I am working at...and also thank you for the review...being waiting for this product...
Such a thorough, well thought out review! Really enjoyed this.
Your channel is my absolute fav yarn channel! Love your videos! And the energy and enthusiasm you bring with your beautiful smile 🥰🙏🏻
so cute how you made someone’s day just by buying yarn haha
Thanks for another insightful review of a new product. I'll stick to the yarn I get from overseas, not as pricey and works up beautifully.
Also good to note, different craft stores (at least in my area) have different color ways. My Michaels only had the bernat while my Joannes had both kinds but the Joannes had less color ways available than the Michaels and also a few different ones. So make sure to look at all the websites available to you before buying!
My CZcams was not working and your videos did not appear until now! So glad I found this review
The Bernat blanket yarn gives you more yarn for the same money. If I have a problem with yarn that tangles, I untangle it. Simple fix. I think the O Go yarn is a great way for Yarnspirations to make a little more money.
Thanks for the review! The Cat Nap blanket is lovely!
Thank you Toni for this review. It helps me to decide whether or not I'll give O'Go a try.
YAY! So glad someone finally reviewed this!
Just discovering your channel. I LOVE your style and your positive energy. Can’t wait to learn more by watching!
This was the first video of yours that I watched and you have gained a new subscriber. I appreciate your honesty regarding the products reviewed and you are a joy to watch/listen to. Looking forward to your other videos!
another wonderful review! THANKYOU! (your hook matched your nails today:))
I just saw these the other day and was wondering how they worked - perfect timing for your video to come up in my recommendations! I think my main takeaway is that I'm not their target market, as I don't have any issues using regular skeins. I do like how easy it was to split apart at the different colors - I could see it being worth the extra price to not have to spend as much time fussing about if you want to start each skein at the same spot in the color sequence.
I just love your reviews! They are so informational and you cover all types of questions. Thanks for doing this review of O-go. Not sure I will try it cuz the price doesn’t seem worth it. Keep sharing your knowledge and experience! 💕
Such a great comprehensive video!
I doubt I will be buying any o'gos mainly due to the higher price. I do however like how it displays what colours are in the skein so obviously. I find some skeins with multiple colours have some somewhat hidden inside so you don't see them fully until you are a ways into the skein.
Thank you for the review!!! My crochet club had questions about this zone it's good to have experienced crocheters I sight!!!!
Hi, I started crocheting a few weeks ago and am in love with your channel! Your reviews are in depth and entertaining!
😻i love the cat nap blanket! i love how you incorporated the colorblock yarn into the design.
I want to try this but I don't really like the amount of packaging it requires, especially the plastic pull cord.
But if Bernat would put all their velvet yarns on these that would be great, because I love that yarn, but it's also the one yarn where I can literally ruin a whole skein trying to find the center of the yarn.
This is such a wonderfully thorough review. Thank you so much!
I learned to knit about 10 years ago and it has brought so much happiness to my life. I keep thinking about picking up crochet as well and these yarn reviews feed that desire for sure!
I love the way you talk! You are very articulate and know your craft!! Thank you!!
Very nice review. Thank you for taking the time and spending the money to help us get an idea of what to do with this yarn.
I love the idea of pulling the colors apart. If a stripe yarn doesn’t change colors at the exact place, you have to pull yarn off until you get to the next color. Love the colors pull apart and also the skein doesn’t collapse on itself.
i ADORE these yarn snob videos, they're the best like you Toni!
I stumbled across your channel when I was trying to figure out what O’go yarn is. Great video!! You are straightforward and clear, the video is well done! I’ve subscribed to your channel & look forward to more crocheting inside info!
Great review. Thorough with a lot of information!! Really appreciated. 🧶😁
I love your channel! Thank you for making crocheting easy for us newbies, your cat is so cute!
Good video, I was asking those same questions about "o'go" . You answered them all. Thanks.. 👍😊
I like the colors,thank you for this review.The catblanket is beautiful ❣and i love your hair
I am definitely interested in trying this format out. I can't crochet a skein as it is packaged, I ball every single skein. I am hoping I won't have to ball out this yo-go yarn. Although I do travel by air a lot and I crochet on the plane, so a bit disappointed that this might not work as well as the balls I take with me in my little project bag.
I’ve been waiting on this review!!! I’ve been seeing it online. Thanks hun!
So psyched to have found your channel! Tried Blanket O'Go a few months ago, found the packaging a bit annoying but LOVE that gold mine of exciting free patterns. So I was happy that you pointed out how smart that was!
Thanks for the demo. You explained it very well.
Omg your hairrrrr it's so pretty and I absolutely love your energy
I recently bought one of these as it was on sale. It is keeping company with other skeins of yarn in a basket. After watching your tutorial, i will be working on it sooner than later. Thank you for all of your time in testing the vast array of yarns and sharing with us.
Weird to see comments from 4 days ago but this video just went live 1 minute ago for me.
??
Apparently it was unlisted. Maybe early viewing for patrons on Patreon?
@@amara560 oh cool! I didn’t know she had a Patreon
@@sunburnedpanda I don't know if she has but it's a possibility. I see it happen quite often on YT.
ooo...I've been wondering about this yarn. Thank you for sharing!
I just bought this yarn in the pink and gold super saver on sale at Joann. One thing not mentioned as a positive in the video is how the preset colors take the planning/guessing out of color working, especially if you’re new to crochet like myself. I love that I don’t have to think about whether or not colors go together. And rather than buying a bunch of skeins in 5 colors I just picked out 6 of these and mentally to me, it feels like I have less to think about! So the color options and pre-picked out colors are a huge bonus for me!
Thanks for this! Was super curious and you answered a lot of the questions I had (and a few I didn't know I had). 🤘 On my way to look up that twisted tassel video. So Cute.
Omg girl I live by you! I go to that Joann’s all the time!!
Good to see you again! I went looking for a variegated match the other day! I guess that teaches me to save the label! I said the other day, I had trouble making a spinner! I just viewed your new stitch! I was so. Confused! I will give it a few more try! I love your hair! Thanks
I don't think you know how fast I *flew* over to check out yarnspirations free patterns, I'm always looking for another project! :)) loved the video!
I recently subscribed to your channel after watching 2-3 videos. You are a kind & charismatic presenter and I am learning things about crochet that another channel I listen to doesn’t, so you balance things out.
Thank you for this review. I love your honest opinion. Thank you
Great and informative video!!! Can’t wait to visit your shop since my daughter is moving to Columbus soon!❤️
Always appreciate your honest reviews
I do not crochet but find your videos such fun to watch. I saw the O' Gos in Joann's recently and wondered how they were used. You get an A+ for explaining.
I absolutely ❤️ your CURLS! Your hair color is stunning! Thanks for doing this great review.
Thanks. I always enjoy your reviews.
Thank you for the review. Have a good day and stay safe. 💜
After falling for the Pantone “braided” packaging, I am suspicious of any new gimmick packaging. If you bought the Pantone yarn I’m taking about, you know what I mean. If you didn’t, let’s just say that it looked pretty on the shelf, but once people opened it we realized it was such a small amount of yardage that it was basically useless. Fool me once…
It was truly awful to take apart lol
That Pantone yarn was gorgeous, but it was a pain to take apart! I was able to get one fitted beanie out of it on my sentro 48 knitting machine!
Absolutely. I've still got a bunch in my stash that I haven't bothered balling up.
Worst of all: even the solids were in those awful minis! Ugh.
At least when the pantone bamboo came out, the solids were all one hank! And I have to say that I LOVED those and bought a bunch of them.
I disliked the Pantone gimmick from the beginning, and never bought any… I thought they were ugly, and unappealing.. Same goes here..
ALWAYS love your yarn reviews 💖💕
Yay! Congrats on 300k!! 🥳
I love the concept! I will try this in Tabby.
Your hair looks super cute 😍 💕
I love your yarn reviews with all my heart and all my hooks 🥰🥰🥰
Congratulations on reaching 300K subscribers. As a result of your channel, I was able to refine my Tunisian crochet skills.
I really love the idea of this yarn because it's the first time since I started crocheting that I have sensed someone trying a new method of storing yarn. However, I'm a little bit iffy about the plastic string in the middle, as well as the bulky cardboard. One of the things I love about yarn skeins and cakes is that the labels are typically minimal packaging.
I'm still here for some packaging creativity though.
