I'm just seeing this video today , I find it funny you're talking about Christmas yarn and showing your Christmas yarn while I'm working on a Christmas blanket😊
Wow about the trucks at Joann for weeks. Our truck was EMPTIED IN 1 day. I no longer work @ Joann but EVERY Monday I had to empty the yarn containers and stock them. I worked from 12-5 on Monday and finished up stocking the yarn Tuesday morning from 6- noon. Our manager really CRACKED THE WIP. LOL Thanks for showing us the new Christmas yarn
Hi Jennifer I live in south Africa where we have freezing cold winters. And very hot summers. I knit and do a bit of crochet and when it's very hot the fans and aircons work overtime. Lots of people sew and embroider and yes the basket weaving is done by very talented people ❤
I really like the green. Love the ginger bell stripe. Yes, I remember having the ribbon candy as a kid. I was in Aldi earlier today and saw another hard candy, I had as a kid, great memories. I need to look at Joann fabric to see what they have.
I wish they would release those cakes now lol. I'm a slow crocheter and it takes forever to make even simple projects, so I need to be working on Christmas stuff now. Thanks for showing these!! I'm looking forward to the Christmas tutorials.
Last time I was at my local Jo-Ann store the lady told me that they're increasing the yarn section. I was so excited! I love when you share holiday yarns with us.
Very beautiful new “Christmas yarns. My favorite is the one with my name on the label. lol 😅 I finished a blanket with the Cherry Mix, Lime Jelly, and white. I’ll post it on your fb page.
Our Joann's is a mess. Boxes everywhere. An employee said they were not getting enough hours to get stuff done. Not sure what that means. Saw a customer putting yarn away. Hope they can get things put away soon.
Hi Jennifer I live in South Africa. The weather gets very hot in summer, too hot for any knitted or crochet garments. I love winter. It gets pretty cold here. That's when I crochet and knit. Most of my hand work is for charity. We have very talented people here that make the most beautiful things. Amazing art. Love your channel. The puppies are beautiful and I wish them a good home and a blessed life.
Thank you for showing these to us. I'm going 7to Joann's today and I'm going to look for these, you never know 🤷🏼♀️ My parents always bought ribbon candy, the filled raspberries and Christmas mix from Brachs every Christmas. 💝 Wishing you a beautiful blessed day/night 🙏🏻💖🤗
Thx for letting us know about Shannon at Another Yarn. I subbed to her channel and told her you sent me over. We need to support our Yarny Friends, right? Sweet of you to do that, Jen. Love your Christmas yarn, looking forward to your Christmas playlist! Cu in the next! 😊👍🧶
Good morning. Thanks for the heads up on the Christmas Cake yarn. I checked and my Joann (which almost never has the new yarns in the store) actually had one cake. I bought that for pick and ordered the other 4 cakes. They look beautiful. Again, thanks.
Have not been a Joann's all year. I need to go & check out the Christmas yarn. I've been buying online, but field trip time. Hobby Lobby is half a mile away from Joann & next week is 30% week at Hobby Lobby. 😊
LOL That was a fun video! I love love love all those skeins Jen. My local Joann store has so many beautiful yarns all the time, but I am broke until after the first of Dec.. So I hope that there will be some left for me to play with. Also Premier has beautiful yarn as well and Yarnspirations has some cute Christmas pattern ideas for stocking stuffers and such. I am three quarters done on a cardigan and half way thru a hat and three quarters the way thru a throw blanket. LOL I have red sparkle yarn but no green or white as yet. I think I got those at Joann's last year. Hope you got some rest and your back has eased up a bit so that you don't hurt so much. When is your appointment with the chiropractor? 😎🤪 Take care of you. See you tomorrow and thank you for pushing thru it all to bring us this video. Much love!
I saw the cakes last week in joann. They're pretty but the ones I saw were 2 weight and I don't do those. I also got the yule tide, the pink variegated, and both speckles. Making a stocking with the pink and pink speckle for my daughters as I watch. They're all so pretty! Thanks for sharing!
I watch you all the time but I don't always comment. But when you said your back is jacked up , I laughed and laughed . Mines jacked up to. Thank you I needed a good laugh .❤🤗🧶
Yes, they are waiting for Black Friday. Because they start Christmas so early it seems like they are waiting too late to put stuff out by waiting till Thanksgiving.
Awww, it's like your Christmas yarn made room for early holiday visitors who probably won't be staying long, lol. The lighter green in the Punch Bowl almost has a golden hue. Mayne it will work up as gold-ish. 🎍
the joann website has the new Christmas cakes to buy for shipping. My local store does have them for pick up, but they didn't get any of the supernova or boho either.
Can’t wait for some Christmas tutorials from you. I got all the Christmas yarns to make things. I ordered 4 of each however Joann’s just decided to double one of them instead of filling the order the way I wanted. I hate when they just take it upon themselves to decide how your order gets filled. They need to do so much better!❤
You are correct, the Merry Mingle has more pink in it. The first skein had a break that changed dyelots with the new yarn. I’m not upset, just wanted to point it out. The Neon, roller skate color made in Turkey had a plastic feel, very rough, all the others were nicer. I love my neons but those will be tougher to work with. I’m really looking forward to working with the Punchbowl speckles you got too. It’s so pretty.
I was watching your Premier unboxing and felt like i was watching myself. Cause everything you said i agree with 100% it was a great video. I love how happy you get over yarn. And you are ridiculously talented
@ I was so impressed when you started knitting and how fast you picked it up and were making things. I don’t think I learned anywhere near as quickly back in the day.
I love that you are wearing a Halloween shirt for a Christmas yarn video. I would be doing the same. Have you had good luck with hobii yarn or is it more expensive. What is their quality compared to?
The Joanns big twist value ombre yarn that I bought that they shipped to me feels wierd. I didnt like how it felt so I haven't bought more. I will check where mine was made... good point. My local Joanns has messed up inventory and no longer does curbside pickup for this whole year. I can't even place the order. It has no imventory and doesnt give me an option either. I also don't like pink in my Halloween or Christmas yarn.
My local Joann is closing!!! 😢 We've had one here since at least 1977!! Im sad!! I used to shop there with my mom!! My mom is gone now and the store she relied on for sewing stuff will soon be gone
My Joann store is like yours. It’s small and boxes of yarn sit in the aisles forever. I had to dig down in a box to get a skein of Flower Power. There’s no room on the shelves to put more yarn. The big deep bins in the middle of the aisle held all the clearance yarn. There was no way to see what all was there because you couldn’t get to the bottom of it. Really sad.
I bought and received 6 skeins each of the five colors of Big Twist Christmas colors I liked best. I figured they’d sell out or be discontinued if I didn’t get plenty of the ones I like now. I’m not into amigarumi, but it just occurred to me when you held up the speckled yarn, but wouldn’t that make a cute Spotted Elephant from the Island of Misfit Toys?
Are Joanne's closed up shop and left? So I have no Joanne's to go to anymore. I'm not driving an hour away in the wintertime. I live in Minnesota. Thank you so much for sharing.
Don't feel bad I have to drive over an hour to get to a Joann's or Michaels and those 2 stores are awful, if we want a good selection that isn't in unpacked boxes we have to drive e to Nashville or Knoxville. So unfortunately I have to have my orders shipped most of the time
Hi Jen, the cakes and winter and a bulky Christmas are available online now. I ordered winter and the cakes but passed on the bulky but might get some anyway. Wish it was in store so I can used my rewards. If not on the app, try going the website way. Good luck. 🥰🥰🧶🧶🎄🎄also check out the secret yarnery, Krista, she is in Africa and fun to watch and she talks about what temp and season it is there. I think she is originally from Canada.
BTW you didn’t get me this time LOL I pulled all the greens, whites and reds from my stash and leftover yarn. I even had some white and some red sparkle yarn.🧶 I’m still reeling from all my premiere and Hobbii purchases. And I REALLY screwed up with Hobbii. I got these yarn cakes to make my son something and it’s FINGERING. And I don’t know WTH to do with it. 3,000 yards….what can I mix with it? A DK????? HELP 😢
You can hold it with a #2, #3 or #4 neutral color that is in the cake. Or pull from two cakes, you might have to trim some at the beginning to get the colors to match a closely as you can. Or just use a smaller hook to get a closer weave. I use a #5 hook with #2 yarn and the blanket comes out lighter but just as warm as the spaces in the yarn create heat pockets . Hope you enjoy it whatever you decide and know your son will love it. Happy Holidays!
Good morning, Jen!!! Love those speckle ones. Thanks for the haul. Hope you’re having a good morning!!!❤
I'm just seeing this video today , I find it funny you're talking about Christmas yarn and showing your Christmas yarn while I'm working on a Christmas blanket😊

Hi, I'm also from South Africa and off course we crochet and knit 😊
I’m finishing my Christmas granny square cardigan in Merry Mingle. It’s turning out nice!
I wish they would release those cakes now lol. I'm a slow crocheter and it takes forever to make even simple projects, so I need to be working on Christmas stuff now. Thanks for showing these!! I'm looking forward to the Christmas tutorials.
The speckle is my favourite 😍 thanks for sharing - you know I live through you ❤
Enjoyed your Christmas yarn haul
Last time I was at my local Jo-Ann store the lady told me that they're increasing the yarn section. I was so excited!
I love when you share holiday yarns with us.
I love how you change out your phone case and pop socket, frequently. The purple is so pretty! 💜🤩🤳
I had to. I broke my case
Thank you Jen 💜

Jennifer, I have been to Hercules candy. It is so great there and the candy and chocolates are delicious. I watch the videos to.
I love Christmas yarn too. There is just something about those colors that brings joy to me. Christmas is my favorite time of year. 🧶💜🙏🏻
Good morning Jen. I love Christmas because it is so colorful. Have a great day.
Good morning

Big Twist yarn dries fine. Just don’t dry on hot.
Thanks Jen now I'm yawning 🥱 😂🤣
Hi Jennifer! The new Christmas cakes like Hobbii’s are on Joann’s site now!!! They’re 30% off too!
My Joann has one color of the winter cake it’s anti- pilling and it’s a 2 weight. It’s very pretty
Peppermint ribbon looks like candy cane to me. Making a c2c with it
Thank you for showing these to us. I'm going 7to Joann's today and I'm going to look for these, you never know 🤷🏼♀️ My parents always bought ribbon candy, the filled raspberries and Christmas mix from Brachs every Christmas. 💝

Shes sweet. You will enjoy het
My son lives in Ohio near a massive Joanne. I’m hitting that next week when we visit. ❤
That sounds so fun and exciting 😊😊
Where in Ohio? My son lives in SE Ohio and if and when I visit I need yarn!
@ Columbus. The one in Easton is really big with the yarn wall and section for sewing classes
I admit, I love Hobbii for the patterns more than anything else, really….
Mexican flag colors? LOL!
Those are pretty yarns
I can't wait to see what you make with them
The washed green one is darker in person. It does set well next to the peppermint red one.
Good morning. Thanks for the heads up on the Christmas Cake yarn. I checked and my Joann (which almost never has the new yarns in the store) actually had one cake. I bought that for pick and ordered the other 4 cakes. They look beautiful. Again, thanks.
Call there main corporate and tell them what's going on at stores

I made a ripple of the red nd green you were talking about. It me up so pretty
Nice haul!! ❤
Jen even your music at the start makes me smile. Beautiful Christmas yarns x
It's beginning to look alike lot Christmas.
Shannon is a ray of sunshine! She makes me smile when she is on!
She really is
Gorgeous yarns! I am the same, once Christmas is over, I pack away the reds, greens and even white for a while 🤣🤣🤣
the joann website has the new Christmas cakes to buy for shipping. My local store does have them for pick up, but they didn't get any of the supernova or boho either.
Yes Shannon she’s so beautiful and talented!! I love her
Hi, TY for showing the Christmas yarns, all are so pretty. 🧶🫂
I hope they actually have the Twinkle in Christmas green this year. I had to get green sparkly last year from somewhere else.
Good Morning Jen🤗 pretty Christmas yarn I don’t do Christmas projects, but lie seeing what you make. Take it easy🥰 love you and your channel.
Can’t wait for some Christmas tutorials from you. I got all the Christmas yarns to make things. I ordered 4 of each however Joann’s just decided to double one of them instead of filling the order the way I wanted. I hate when they just take it upon themselves to decide how your order gets filled. They need to do so much better!❤
Hercules candy is down the road from my house!! They also do in person demos all day Saturdays in December and it’s amazing!
I love them!
The christmas cakes for me in new jersey on Joann's website is ship only ..Winter light weight acrylic yarn by big twist
Good Morning, Love the Christmas yarn , Have a good day
The Winter light weight cakes are on the Jo Ann website now
Those yarns are gorgeous! The Joann in Chattanooga is the same. Irritates me to no end.
Did I need Christmas yarn? No? Did I do 3 pick up orders? Yes😬🤣
❤❤❤❤❤
my mom always had a box of ribbon candy at christmas.
Me too! 😁
I agree mine sucks. And Michael's
The merry mingle is so pretty. I just want 1 of everything 😊
The jingle bell strip right off the bat said grinch to me. Him with his coat & all
You are correct, the Merry Mingle has more pink in it. The first skein had a break that changed dyelots with the new yarn. I’m not upset, just wanted to point it out. The Neon, roller skate color made in Turkey had a plastic feel, very rough, all the others were nicer. I love my neons but those will be tougher to work with.

@ I was so impressed when you started knitting and how fast you picked it up and were making things. I don’t think I learned anywhere near as quickly back in the day.
The cakes of Christmas yarn is available for shipping only. I think it is 10.39 a cake.
X millimeters, guess your best, based on knitting needle size.
😊❤
Hi Jennifer , pretty Christmas yarn 😘❤🎄
Exciting Christmas lovies!!!! TFS Jen!!!
Christmas yarn 🤩
I love that you are wearing a Halloween shirt for a Christmas yarn video. I would be doing the same.
Have you had good luck with hobii yarn or is it more expensive. What is their quality compared to?
🤣🤣🤣 you saw that huh? Happy halloweenmas!
Hobbi is more expensive . Only sometimes worth the money. Some of their yarns are dupes of hobby lobby
I'm still waiting for my order. My local Joann's dies not have any Christmas yarn.
The Joanns big twist value ombre yarn that I bought that they shipped to me feels wierd. I didnt like how it felt so I haven't bought more. I will check where mine was made... good point. My local Joanns has messed up inventory and no longer does curbside pickup for this whole year. I can't even place the order. It has no imventory and doesnt give me an option either.

Omg that would be perfect for the elephant
@ And now I’m thinking I need to order some of this Christmas yarn too. 🙄😂🙄
They got that backwards on the label 3 skeins for scarf and 1 for a hat is more like it
My Joann's is the same. It's ghetto and dirty and they have the same boxes sitting in the aisles for weeks. It's so frustrating lol
Check out The Secret Yarnery. She lives in Nairobi, Kenya.
Are Joanne's closed up shop and left? So I have no Joanne's to go to anymore. I'm not driving an hour away in the wintertime. I live in Minnesota.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Happy Hump Day! ✨️🎊
Morning 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

If it is acrylic, why would you not be able to throw it in the dryer?? Beautiful yarn. I am going to make an order.
Good Morning 😃
Good morning!
You’re not basic🎉🎉🎉
Good morning

The Secret Yarnery is in Africa.
No one proof read the label😉😉😂😂😂😂😂. Sorry Shirley 😂😂😂
Hi ! Jennifer !! How’s those babies l !
I just went on the website not the app and they have the cakes for 12.99
Don't feel bad I have to drive over an hour to get to a Joann's or Michaels and those 2 stores are awful, if we want a good selection that isn't in unpacked boxes we have to drive e to Nashville or Knoxville. So unfortunately I have to have my orders shipped most of the time
Good morning ☕️🧶
Good morning!
Secret Yarney tube in Africa
I know. I love watching her shopping videos
They crochet
Subscripers- there is at least one person from Germany. 😉
No one wants to work that's the problem period. It is that way all over not just Micheal's, it's other places as well. It Sad really.
