    Hi. Thank-you very much for the incredible browsing. I am a brand new subscriber. I am 72 years old (that looks 52). I am loving the Uber drivers surprise when I talk about my 4 kids in their 40’s & 50’s. I crochet, knit and sew, but have no car. I would absolutely LOVE to shop around that Walmart. I miss jumping in the car and going their and going thrifting too. What fun that is to a crafter. I am looking forward to seeing you again. Audrey in Ontario. ❤🇨🇦🪢🧶🧵🪡

    Thank you for sharing. Every store is different. Just like with Michael's, every store is different, different cities.

    I also used basic hooks forever- until I started having, shall we say- issues with my hands. Now I use Ciover and I’ve trained myself to hold the hook less tightly! And Yay- I can crochet again! 😊

    Wow amazingly tidy compared to every Walmart that everyone has been showing. Lots of yarn someone is doing a good job at looking after it.

    Ginger, I think we all started with either Susan Bates, or Boye hooks when we started crocheting, lol. However, the Furls Rabbit hole is definitely not hard to go down, lol. 😂

    I love Furls so much I almost wish I had never tried one because now, nothing else seems to compare. I used to be so happy with my boy and bates and what in the world is that Clovernook doing there I think someone may be bought it online and then returned it in that Walmart I don’t know

    • @hoosierhometeam
      @hoosierhometeam 2 роки тому

      I looked in the app and they do sell them online. I bet that is how it ended up in the store. I've heard those are great, but they're so ugly! 😝 Furls hooks are so pretty and make my crocheting so much more enjoyable. I hate spending so much on them, but only get them on sale and I don't have a lot of them. The Odyssey are amazing!

    Right now I'm using the Red Heart ombree in the beautiful pink. I love it I'm doing a poncho for my granddaughter. Wish my Walmart had half the yarn this one does. No Hometown at Michael's.

  • @kelleyjogirl
    @kelleyjogirl 2 роки тому

    Wow! The yarn section of my Walmart looks like a tornado tore through it. Skeins with labels torn off, partly unwound or just generally untidy skeins, everything out of place and jumbled together.

  • @marlawetherell8785

    I am envious too. The same yarns here are b/n 1/3 more and double the price. Also, we don't have that selection. The display is pretty messy and it's right by the back where they bring out all the stock for the rest of the store.

  • @rootsrocksfeathers1975
    @rootsrocksfeathers1975 2 роки тому

    I have three Walmarts within 30 miles of me (rural mountain area) and not one is well-stocked; in fact, some are downright dismal, as if they're discontinuing yarn. I haven't seen a yarn dept as good as that in a Walmart in four years. Sigh. None of my Walmarts carry Clover hooks anymore, sadly. I've been ordering mostly online from Lion Brand and Herrschner's, occasionally Joann's. I don't live within and hour and a half from a Joann's or Hobby Lobby, only a couple of super pricey independent yarn shops more like tourist attractions here ~ Cynthia

    My Walmart looks this neat, but they don't have alot of various types of yarns. Usually it's Red Heart and chucky brand yarns I went in today and they finally have Caron Simply Soft and Crushed Velvet, It's a must have I don't have the money for it right now.

      @@theYarnGeek Hello and thank you for responding! We have an Ollie’s Outlet store here by me in SE PA and I had a 15% off coupon. I found Red Heart, Chic Sheep 100% merino wool, 186 yards in beautiful magenta for $2.99 and Bernat Handicrafter cotton Scrub Off in beautiful shades of lilac, 353 yards for $4.99. I bought enough skeins in wool to crochet a sweater and 4 skeins of the cotton to make dishcloths or maybe play with it and make a tablecloth! All the yarn was 15% off. You inspired me to go “scavanger hunting” for sale yarns! Love your channel!

    That Wal-mart has a lot of yarn! I went to Flagstaff, AZ Wal-mart yesterday and it’s not fully stocked and only has one long isle but half yarn and rest is full of craft items. So it’s not at all like yours. Just basic yarns. No scrubbie yarn, no Carrons, no cakes either. That’s a well stocked Wal-mart!
