    Just Yarn is basically the same as Premier Basix. I did some washing testing on it and it performed great. But, on a per yard basis, Basix is cheaper! DT is great when you need small amounts.

      i've crocheted dishcloths with the cotton yarn for family. Cotton yarn a bit thinner than peaches n cream. No feedback as to how they hold up. Now 1 skein for $1.25. the jury is still out here.

    Dollar Tree yarn is actually my favorite. No shame here, I craft on a budget so I buy their yarn and use the savings to get my other crafty needles like needles or stitch markers. Dollar Tree knitting needles aren't horrible either, I can't attest to their crochet hooks though. The red glasses are fabulous by the way!

    Love the Just Chenille! I made an amigurumi koala from it and it was a big hit. Especially with my puppy, who tried to steal it out of the gift basket for my niece. 😆
    Thanks for the idea of pairing the plush yarn with a worsted weight. I passed on it originally, but I'll have to rethink it.
    I also love Dollar Tree's Princess Yarn. It's between a sock weight and a lace weight. Super soft with lovely drape. I've used it for scarves, baby items, and a hat (in progress). Machine washed and dried with no problems.
    Have a great day!

    This is my first time watching one of your videos. I too am thrilled that Dollar Tree has the Premier yarns. I've been purchasing the larger skeins of these yarns from the Premier website for a few years. They really are very good quality yarns and perfect for so many types of projects including amigurumi which I've made 100s of. Purchasing the larger skeins is a better deal, but when I only want a small amount of a color, or just don't have a large enough order to purchase enough big skeins to justify the shipping fee or get free shipping, this is a great alternative.
    As mentioned, I've never seen one of your videos before, but one of the things that attracted me to it was your style. I don't know which glasses you had before, but these red glasses really are cool and made me think you were a fun person to watch.

I wear bold frames and love to change them up as often as possible. It’s fun to step outta ur comfort zone. Love the dollar store idea, I’ll ck the one nearby. I like to try complicated patterns using inexpensive yarns before making the project with more expensive, or more complicated yarns, especially garments. ☮️

I'm currently crocheting a baby blanket with Bernat Baby Velvet yarn and you definitely have to use a smaller hook than recommended and sc or hdc stitch to avoid "worming" after washing. This is my second baby blanket in velvet yarn for my granddaughter. The first one looks horrible after washing....loops everywhere.🙈 By the way, you look great in the red glasses.... love them. 🤗

    I've made baby blankets from a combination of Bernat Baby Blanket and Just Yarn Chenille, and found that the Just Yarn Chenille was a bit thinner -- enough so that I had to downsize the hook from a 10mm/N to an 8mm/L when crocheting, to keep a dense enough fabric to be safe around small children. After that one time attempting to use the Bernat Baby Blanket scraps together with the Just Yarn Chenille, I decided not to combine those yarns in a project again, even though they're both labelled as a "6" (Superbulky).

    Hi, I just bought a few skeins of the cotton, thsts all they had at my Dollar Tree, and it crochets well. I’m going to go back for more, and also hit other stores to see if they have other types as well. I’m in a very strict budget so this helps me beef up my yarn supply!! I like to make gift sets of dish towels ( I buy them at Dollar Tree n 99 cent store) and make pot holders, dish cloths, and scribbies to match. Ppl love these sets! My next project is to try a twirl topper. And make that a set. On plain towels I apply a cotton applicate and a smaller version in the pot holders. These sets take little time to make and are fun and creative!

    Thank you for your review. I really appreciate the fact that you get right into the subject & don't talk about a lot of other things.
    A word of caution. With Dollar Tree going up in price this year, it would be wise to see what the cost per yard is & compare to other brands. My husband used to get liter bottles of cola there (they actually held more than 2 liters). Even with the price increase, it was still the best deal in town. Then we realized the bottles had less in them (only 2 liters) making the cost more than Aldi or Walmart. It's a marketing plot many manufacturers are taking advantage of.

  • @lindawolffkashmir2768
    @lindawolffkashmir2768 5 місяців тому

    The yarn itself is pretty good, especially if you are working on a small project, but be sure to get enough yarn while you’re there, because it disappears fast! Another thing, their yarn color choices tend to be seasonal, you will find pastels around Easter, vivid reds and greens around Christmas, and in the fall, you’ll get the deep browns, rust, and lighter greens. Black and white yarn comes and goes throughout the year, along with dark and medium blue. Also, it depends how good your local Dollar Tree is. Some carry a lot of yarn, others barely have any at all. You’ll have better luck at a bigger Dollar Tree.
