Hilarious! That’s so amazing that the two yarns are absolutely identical.
Love the yarny detective work you do for us, Crystal! ❤ (you could start another channel called Scotland Yarn … 🤣)
But here’s another question: how did Turkey become the world producer of acrylic yarn? Just curious.
Scotland Yarn!!!! 😂😂😂😂
@@donnabauman love it 😂
Scotland Yarn...haha. Like you, I've asked why Turkey is so famous for its yarns. Some say it's because of the dyes, but I don't know.
Scotland Yarn! I love it😂
These days it's all about production costs. Over 90% of yarns produced in Europe are produced / spun in facilities in either Turkey or Romania. Even when the fibers come from somewhere else and the distribution companies sit somehwere else, the yarn is usually spun there. That's because they have low energy and labour costs, while still providing rather decent infrastructure to ship it into other countries. It's just a good old fashioned capitalist numbers game.
Most people in the USA don't realize that brand names are ephemeral and changeable. An item that comes out of a factory will be shipped to different locations with brand name labels that reflect the companies doing business in a given location. What the individual company pays the factory can vary. Another company may have paid a different amount for the same or similar item. I once read there are more than 600 brand names for bacon but only about 6 companies that actually process it.
I heard the same about Olive oil.
Many years ago I worked in a clothing factory, there were at least 6 retailers who bought the garments to sell and each one had it's own brand label. Like the yarn, the only thing that didn't change was the country it was made in.
@maybarnard1088 yes, brand names are a marketing tool.
@@irene_f. Countries that produce high quality olive oil are Spain Greece Italy Tunisia. Greece alone has over 2800 mills!!
@@annalouux8553 One time I saw a comment, (not here), from an employee that had worked where the olive oil was bottled. That person had stated all the oil was the same, they just had different labels. I would not think that meant every single olive oil sold.
Comparing yarns is your great ability I thank you for helping all of us to see the difference and saving us the leg work I have learned so much about the types and differences in all the yarns and stitches and beautiful things I have gotten from you here on UA-cam channel....
The nearest JoAnns to me is an hour drive so unless I have other reasons to go to there it isn't worth spending 2 hours and at least $7 in gas money to go there. The thing I dislike about their website is that you can't use more than one coupon at a time. So if I have a 40% off one item and another coupon I would have to make separate orders and pay shipping on both.
Michaels online is like that too but we have a Michaels in town.
That's my mini rant.
We have a beagle who barks ALL the time, squirrels 🐿️, people, 🍃 leaves, anything.
My Mom worked at a local retail store in the 60s. The owner took her to Atlanta to a trade show. My Mom saw first hand how the vendors took orders for the clothing. The same shirts on a table were sold at different wholesale prices depending on what label the purchasers want in the shirts. So if your store wanted to sale high in labels, you paid for that label. Same shirts with less expensive labels, you paid less. Looks like this is still the way things work in most categories of sales
I live in Wisconsin and I buy yarn at Herrschner a Wisconsin retailer. The shipping is $ 18.00, but if you spend more than $75 is free. I don’t understand why being in the same state shipping so high compared to Ice .
Because Herrschners charges flat rate shipping. So if you order 5 skeins or 15 skeins the shipping will be the same. It's not based on weight or location (applies to the continental USA). Also they must of had a special, cause shipping isn't always free over $75. I placed a $150 with them and was charged shipping. Although, between sale items and a 30% off coupon I made out like a bandit even with shipping. Gotta watch their coupons and sales. Can really score big with them! 😊👍
I was shopping Ice Yarns for their Picasso and checked out the clearance section before making my purchase. Let me tell you how excited I was to find some beautiful yarns to add to my cart and ended up paying less than $5 per ball for 16 Picasso's and 12 balls of other yarns. The $5 included the shipping too!
Hi. Crystal. Nice. To. See. You. Today. .....thank. .you. For. This. Video. ..this. Information. Is. Very. Helpful. . .I. Love. The Mandela yarn and. I. Love. Your. Channel
My word, can you believe it...just the labels are different. You just have to check whenever you want to buy...amazing.. thanks for sharing with us Crystal. Have a great day 😊
Crystal, I agree with you it would be less expensive to go to Joann's. Great choices also. 👌
It's like buying food. I worked at a potato chip factory and we made store brand chips on the same machines, with the same specs, as name brand chips. Just because it's a different label doesn't mean it's a different product.
Exactly! I work in a Grocery store and our private label hamburger and hotdog buns that the company I work for pay the manufacturer to put our store name on, are the exact same buns that our bread guy brings with the name of the bread company he works for. Sitting side by side on the shelf.
I have never seen a Mandala bonus bundle. It makes sense that manufacturer put out the same yarn with different labels.
Wow ice yarn was exactly the same color as the lion brand!!! Thanks for all this info!! Really helps us pay attention more to what we are buying!
You had me laughing! Fun video! My dog loves to bark at NOTHING…but hides behind me when an actual person is at the door! Thanks for the comparison.
Again Crystal, your yarn knowledge is Amazing! I wondered if you would make a video showing how similar the two cakes are! Thank you! Again you e made my day! God Bless. Take care. Love you! 🙏😇♥️
I love it when I find different yarns all the same just different labels . Also it gives you a chance for a cheaper one. No decent yarn stores near me. Only dollar type stores,. So I get most of my yarn in the post, I am saving for an Ice yarn order Thank you so much Crystal. Kind regards from London
Those are beautiful colors.Thanks for sharing with us. I have never tried the Mandala cakes.👍👍🎉🎉🎉🧡🤎💛💙
Dear Crystal,🌹 thank you very much for compering the yarns.
Please make more comparison videos. 👏
Yarnart Flowers cake and Hobbii Twister cake are also very interesting, both cakes are the same but the price is diffrent.
Big hug from Germany.👍
Super sleuth, Crystal! 🤣🤣 Thx for the inside info! 😊👍🧶
I love Ice Yarns. I order so many yarns I can’t get in the U S. They are fast too!!
I love finding yarn dupes!!
🙂 have a blessed week BOD fam ❤️
Way to go Crystal👍🏻. Love your detective work, thanks for always sharing knowledge. Hugs🤗
Hi Crystal- I’m always happy to get a notification that you’ve put up a new video!
I wanted to tell you that I can quit nagging you to tell me your crochet story because I watched an interview with you. (I cannot remember the ladies name that was doing the interview)- anyway, I learned how and who taught you to crochet. What a true blessing to have a neighbor like that!
I’m so glad you had a good visit w/Gary. I’m glad for myself as well because I wasn’t sub’d to his channel but I am now. What a nice guy!
Thanks for all the free patterns and tutorials you’ve shared. I’ve made so many of them. You’re really a good instructor. I’m making (at 64!) my very first cardigan from a tutorial of yours. It’s hard to believe that I’ve been crocheting almost 50 years and haven’t made a cardigan. So many, many thanks!
Now- on w/the video. 😊
Thank you so much for always working so hard to share the best deals!
Ha ha ha! No wonder I liked that Mandala yarn. I purchased it from ICE yarns. 🤦My ICE yarn was way cheaper. It came to $2.35 a cake. (Yes, it was a big order 😁) So my two pack cost me $4.70! Yippee! I'll just save my money and get a large order when the yarn is on sale. Thank you for explaining how to factor the cost per ball for ICE. I really love their cakes, Picasso yarn and Magic yarns. Blessings!
Hi Crystal how are you doing today iam doing fine today your yarns are very beautiful colors thanks for sharing stay safe 🎉😂❤
Lol, now I need to checkout Walmart because I paid more, and had to wait longer by buying it from Joanns online. I love when you do these videos. Thank you 😊
Very cool, I have never seen one of those bonus cakes. Thanks for the heads up with ice yarns
Thanks, Crystal. It's great to know the better deal.❤
Yes, I love that Ice Yarns manufactures yarns for other companies. I haven't ordered from Ice Yarns for a while but I really like their yarn & if I buy quite a bit of it the shipping isn't as bad. 🥰 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Thanks Crystal. Being in Australia I often wonder about the ice yarn equivalents, and wonder if they are the same. The small mandala balls are $10Au at our big craft store.. so I’m more keen than ever to save up for a BIG ice haul!
When I placed a large order on yarns that were on sale, each ball cost me $2.33USD. That's the cost of the yarn and the shipping added together and divided by the number of ball I purchased. My first order came out to $2.50 USD a ball. It is so worth it. Blessings!
@@memmie1104 how big was your order. If you don't mind sharing. Thank you.
My last order was $273.00 and $119.00 of it was express shipping. I had a huge order because the yarn I ordered was on sale and I stocked up. It was well worth it.
You are awesome Crystal 💕
But the striping would be much bigger with the Mandala then the Ice yarn. So it would also depend on your project and what you are looking for. Beautiful yarn!!! The yellow is my favorite.
A majority of big box yarn comes from Turkey at the moment and yes different companies just use the same yarn but label as their own. Even yarn companies themselves will label some of their yarn “baby” but the adult version is exactly the same maybe in different colours
That is so interesting thank you Crystal, stay safe love and hugs xx
Hey, Crystal! Thanks for doing this for us who are watching our yarn pennies.
Oh George he's just saying hi to the peeps❤
Hi Crystal. I think you'll find that Ice yarns are the 'own brand' of the manufacturer and they whack different labels on it for wool Merchants who generally used to be manufacturer's. Here in the UK there are lots of cross-overs but usually there is a tweak to the fibre content, the twist, the shape of the skeins etc. I very much enjoyed your video today. Keep up the great work ❤
Turkey pretty much rules the world of Yarn now as acrylic is a byproduct of the petrochemical industry and so much of that is sourced and pumped from the middle East.
Turkey is massive for fabric too and also for textile recycling and reproduction.
Enough of this geek chat now. Bye for now 😊x
I love how helpful you are when it comes to other yarn companies, both in and out of the US.
I used to have a fairly big (very big lol) stash which 90% was from Ice yarns, I sorted my stash and donated a heap to different charities....I've since been working just from my stash the last 2 years but I'm now running low on my sock yarn .....I went straight back to Ice yarns they have some new (to me) sock yarn, u recently received some of the silk sock yarn, wow that is so beautiful to knit with it's a bit more expensive than some of the others from ice ...I did buy a few packs of different sock yarns to try, ....I did the total cost divided by how many balls I received....mine worked out around $7 Australia per ball which is amazing....I always have yarn left over from a pair of socks which I use for baby/toddler socks or scrappy socks etc
I did go order some more in other colours to stock my sock yarn container I live way to far from a shop with any yarn plus I don't like to pay over $20 aud for basic sock yarn, when I know I can buy beautiful silk or hand dyed for far less even with the high cost of shipping to Australia ....sorry this is so long I hope it helps someone from Australia think past the high shipping costs the yarn comes quiet quickly :)
Just finished a throw with 2 bonus bundles of the Mandala color centaur and used the Suzette stitch. Came out nice
✌️❤️🧶
George is arguing with his big brothers!😂😂😂 He has. Napoleon complex because of his size.😉
I can’t believe how the yarns are identical!
Love your channel,relearning to crochet again after a car accident broke my hand
Great video.
I had to laugh, I was listening to your video with earbuds, and I thought my dog was barking 😂😂
Good information, thanks. I hate paying for S & H.
You're one sharp woman! 😉 rocked it! The happiness you bring, in the short time I've known you here in this dimension, stupendous! A-hunting I will go! 🕵️♀️ 🕶
Thanks Crystal!
Thank you for teaching us so much Crystal
Now, just figure out who made Yarn Bee's Lollipop cakes .... I'm so sad Hobby Lobby discontinued it. But it came from somewhere. I Love that roving yarn!
Made the best shawls!
Thanks Crystal.for the heads up. That's interesting. Take care.
I have ordered from Ice, but I think I'll stick with the USA stores. You totally made up my mind. Thank you Crystal.
Thank You Crystal for the information 👍.
Hello friend! I hear ya 2021! I never know what day year time it us 😁another great video thanks
Thanks Crystal for your expalanation
I finally bought a few Mandala yarn 3ply I was disappointed is was soooo cheap. I bought it because I've heard so many people like it. I can't bring myself to buy it again
Agree.
Good to know. Love to use coupons too!
Thank you Crystal for the information! It was very interesting. God bless you!
That is awesome that you caught that. Great to hear about this. Thank you 🙏🏾
last time I ordered Ice from the US there was a trick to their shipping. the shipping was in blocks. I could get 6 packs of their yarn for the same shipping cost and stay in that lower block. So the cost to ship 6 packs is the same as shipping 1 pack. Makes it a much better deal.
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yep probably the same factory, probably the same line..
I used to work in a cake factory. We made cakes for 3 different retailers. And literally, the only thing that we changed was the packaging and labels. The cakes were all made on the same line.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and easily spotting this.
This is the most interesting vid I've watched in a while. Thank you for this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@BAGODAYCROCHET I loved it.... I really don't like ordering yarn online without the option of returning it, if I don't like the way it feels, so this video is informative & very interesting.....again, I LOVED IT Crystal...Thank you again Betty P.
That’s awesome you found that out! Never tried Ice yarns , well I can’t say that now, bc I have used Mandala before! Thanks for informing us! We appreciate you so much !
Crystal you are so awesome thanks for sharing the beautiful colors of yarn review and comparison wow. Have a great day and week.
Hi Crystal 👋
The yarns are identical lol
Now... how to get another company to make Ice's Picasso lol. The mandala cakes are super pretty ! Thanks for sharing!
Be well ! 🦋
Excellent info! Thanks Crystal 🙂
First time seeing this. Thanks for the info Crystal.
At the end of the day, it sounds like it's about the same cost. The major difference would probably be how fast you can get the yarn. Running over to the store vs waiting for the shipment.
Wow! Joanns charges 19.99 for Mandala at our store. That’s for the regular size too.
I love the comment the refers to you as a detective from Scotland Yarn!
Thank you! That's amazing! I'll check it out. When I went to ICE, and put in DK cakes, it took me to a search engine. Weird.
It's a picky search feature. Try cakes DK. 😊
@@jessicaljoaquin Thank you, I'll give it a try.
I have always wondered about Ice Yarns if they make it for other companies as well. Great video, and very informative.
Thank you for sharing. Nice
I just saw a rainbow Ice yarn identical to one I got from Hobbii. At some point I would like to try an order from Ice, but I have to use up more of my stash and save up to get a big order all at once.
I bought a bonus cake I liked at Joann with a 50% off coupon. I plan on making a baby blanket. When AC Moore was “alive” they would have the mill ends yarn. One brand was from Canada. Bernat or Caron were in those bags. The yarn from Turkey could be ANYTHING! I would buy the stuff I could feel was def wool (with a coupon so I paid maybe $3.50) and go home and start googling. I would sell the mill ends on eBay once I knew the brand. I once found a yarn that sells for $35 a skein that was the same as what I was looking at! I sold it on eBay for $35 for the pound and gave someone a huge deal. I also made a nice amount on it. Win win. Unfortunately Michaels and Joann stopped selling mill ends bags of yarn.
Hey Crystal! You are the best and thank you for another helpful tip ❤
Thanks for sharing this information!
I had to pay $70 for duty and taxes to get it shipped to Canada. Still was cheaper.
Thank you for the info, beautiful yarns.
I know why you went back a few years… yarn was cheap then! At least thats what I thought you always have such great information! Thanks much love
Thank you for the info Crystal. You are always such a big help to us❣❣
No, I don’t want to go back to 2021 Crystal !! 😅 I do the same thing..just this morning , I kept typing 2022 ugh.. I love that Mandala cake ..so pretty ❤
I have a Christmas project I do. It's called covered with love. I make crochet blankets and give them away to nursing homes and to the needy. Watching your videos will help find yarns cheaper.😊
Our crochet club is called Covered With Love and our mission is to provide blankets for various organizations in our local living area. We meet twice a month, once in a weekday and once on a weekend day, all year long.. We have provided blankets for foster children, senior centers, nursing homes, sheriff's departments, schools and even for a hospice group. We are currently in our eighth year of existence and going strong. I wish you the best with your Christmas project.❤
Thank goodness
Hi! I went to Mrs. Baird's bakery once on a field trip. The bread went down the conveyor belt and branched off in different directions and slid into different brand bags. I was shocked. However, I am now better educated on how things really work.
Same-same with yarn! 😜🧶💕
Those yarns are too pretty. I'm buying them in lots of colors but feel reluctant to make anything with them. They look better in display on shelves and bookcases. i like them better than pictures.
Yep, Crystal, no surprise there with the yarn being the same. Good review by the way!
I just wanted to share a bit of my experience with Ice-Yarns shipments, since I am not in the U.S.
I live in Israel. We are limited to a maximum of $75 worth of goods per shipment, or we pay huge amounts of taxes and customs. (Luckily, this excludes shipping, which is higher for us than the rates to the U.S., which makes zero sense, because we are only a 2.5 hrs flight away!!!)
Anyway, in $75 I usually manage to get about 6 to 8 packs of yarn and sometimes 1-2 more, if they have a good sale going.
My packages usually weigh around 8-9 Ibs. I never paid more than $3.50-$4.00 per 100gr of yarn, including shipping!!! The higher level usually reached with pricier yarn!!!
If you take the Mandala / Cakes DK as an example - 150g per skein (normal size) - that would come out to be $6.00 at most, per cake!!! Regular price, all year round, no favors, no coupons needed! Sometimes they even have great sales, too, so I can get it even cheaper.
I'm hoping this information is helpful.
Same with the Hobbii yarns, they just take them from somewhere and slap their own label onto it and tripple the price. I mean, look at Metallico vs. Gazzal Rock N Roll, or Wheel of Alpaca vs. YarnArt Flowers Alpaca. Same exact colors, same quality. Generally they take a lot from YarnArt.
That was GREAT 2021 !!!😆
I'm currently waiting on my 3rd Ice Yarn delivery. I tend to buy yarns there that I can't find here in the US. Color differences mainly. I have loved everything I have gotten. Thanks Crystal, I wouldn't have known about Ice Yarn without you. As for colors that most stores carry, I go for best price. As always, love the video 💜
Gosh, yes, Ice yarns has some lovely colors, especially their rainbow 🌈. There's one crochet channel where the lady has her annual Ice yarn shipping order that she opens all the boxes she's ordered. Never knew there were so many colors or that one person could order that much yarn at one time!
@@conniecarroll747 My orders are smaller, on a budget. I do love watching unpacking videos 🤭
I've ordered twice from ICE yarns. I spent a little under $300.00 each time. The total cost per ball came to $2.55 per ball on one order and $2.35 per ball on my second order. It was well worth saving up the money and buying from ICE. I now have enough yarn to last me a while and it's all different types and weights. With a large variety I have yarn for any type of project.
Hi Crystal I hope you're having a wonderful Monday? No I am having a wonderful Monday!❤ I cannot wait to see this yarn comparison video and what I'm going to find out! Great work Crystal!
My daughter just bought me 2 of the mandala big rolls at Walmart for 11.99 each. Of course they came from a different state than where I live. I don’t mind hearing your dog barking
Yes, ICE yarns are a company which makes and supplies yarns for other companies, and those companies slip their brand on it and sell it under their name with their price. They also sell to Hobbii, premier, and many more. The price directly from the manufacturer (ICE) is always cheaper... I had a live class on my channel a while ago talking about ICE, what that company is and how to shop on their website the best way. It surprised me how many people didn't know that ICE is a factory....
Thank you for the comparison. Learned something today.😊
I love your hat!
Really really cool. I love comparison videos!♡♡
I absolutely love having options so seeing the same yarn in more than one place makes me happy. Thank you for your tidbits of information that help me make educated decisions 👋💙
Know that we know there's a choice and a price difference with the same yarn. It helps.
