Thanks for the cotton yarns review 😊 Because of my sensory issues there are a lot of cotton yarns I can't work with. I don't like the "dry" feeling some have. Idk how to describe it, the ones which if you rub them, you can kinda feel that roughness to it. For that reason I prefer thinner cotton threads. One cotton yarn I enjoy a lot is Hobbii Ribbon. I made a basket for slippers in it and it was a lot of fun to work with. I find it much softer and easier to work with than other ribbon yarns, which is probably because it's 100% cotton.
You’re welcome!! And I definitely understand the dry feeling you’re describing, I think that texture works goodfor things like dishcloths but that’s really all I use them for because of the texture! I also wanna do a Hobbii order soon to try their cotton yarn cause I’ve heard such great things but I’ve never tried it!
I’m sure I will love it and I can’t wait to do the order!! I have bought so much yarn recently and I’m trying to do a bit better with budgeting my yarn shopping (we’ll see if that works LOL!) So it might be a month or more until I do an order but I still can’t wait!! :)
Each of the major stores have their own cotton yarns that are basically the same as each other, with just different packaging! JoAnn's/Michaels has Lily Sugar n Cream, Hobby Lobby has Crafter's Secret, and Walmart has Peaches & Cream. Also the solids in Peaches & Cream are 2.5oz just like normal sized Lily Sugar n Cream solids, the normal variegated versions of both have only 2oz! Great video :DD
Thank you so much!! And that’s all great to know!! I was pretty sure those brands were all pretty similar (and even possibly the same) since they are so similar! And I never realized the sizing difference for the variegated yarns and the solid colors so thank you for that info as well!! :))
The only one of these I’ve tried is the peaches and cream which I’m using to make little amigurumi bees. It isn’t the softest but I really like it. I think I’ll try the Walmart brand soon since Walmart is the nearest shop XD
You should totally try out the mainstays! They don’t have the most color options but I do really like the few they have and hopefully they will add more colors soon!!
You think we cheat?!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol. The cotton yarns I have tried for dishcloths are Peaches and Cream (? @ Walmart), a premier cotton yarn, and Sugar n Cream. My favorite is Sugar n Cream for dishcloths. Thank you for the video.
You’re welcome!! And I thought some people might try to cheat and I didn’t want them to be able to LOL!! But it’s fun to hear what you like and maybe you’ll get to try some other cotton yarns soon!!
Do you have any recommendations of the peaches and cream yarn it reminds me of Christmas colors and I was wonder if you have and ideas on what you can do with the yarns
Do what you can to not support Hobby Lobby. They have in place policies that do not support civil rights for all. Specially women. Not to get all political about yarn in this day and age we have choices.
Lost their fight to ban trans women from bathrooms. I’m all for Hobby Lobby and any other company that works to protect real women and not woman faced fakers.
i bought a bunch of Caron Cotton Funnel Cakes to make some some clothing items, I really like loops & threads Capri Cotton for clothes but its not 100% cotton (57% cotton, 28% nylon, 15% polyester), I get all my yarn from Michaels since im in canada.
I saw the Caron cotton funnel cakes last time I was at Michaels and I was very tempted to buy them but I never did I! And I’ve never tried the capri cotton so I’ll have to add that to my list!
Hi Katie⚘️ 👋 thanks bunches for doing this comparison. I haven't tried cotton yet as I'm still learning and expanding my crochet knowledge 😃 if you don't mind me asking? I was wondering what cotton yarn you would consider the softest? I received a package of cotton yarn to make some washcloths but it's very stiff and it's the only one I've actually bought. I think that's why I've stuck wirh acrylic yarn, but I'd love to try a cotton yarn to make some home accessories but don't want the yarn to be super stiff, but able to hold up ok if it's used to make a bag, rug, or pillow, etc. Thank you for letting me pick your brain. 🌷💕🌼🌸⚘️👍
No problem at all!! I think hobby lobby 100% cotton yarn and mainstays 100% cotton are the softest cotton yarns that I’ve used and I’ve actually done a yarn comparison video for Hobby Lobby vs Walmart yarns and those yarns are included if you want to hear the pros and cons for these yarns! I have also heard great things about some other ones as well (like K+C cotton, Hobbii rainbow cotton, Lion brand Pima cotton, etc) but I’ve just never tried them even though I really want to!! I actually put out a poll on my community tab the other day asking about people’s favorite cotton yarns so the comments on that might be a good place to reference if you want some more ideas for soft cottons!! I hope this helps and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!! 🥰❤️🧶
@@katiebeingcreative thanks so much. I'll check out the hobby lobby vs Walmart video. I think I missed that one. Thanks bunches for all you've shared. If I try some of the other yarns you mentioned I'll share what I thought of them too. Thanks ⚘️ 😊
Perfect timing. I was just searching for cotton yarn, as I want to make a lightweight beach coverup. Thank you for your review on these
You’re welcome!! I’m glad it was helpful for you to find some new yarns!

@@katiebeingcreative ohhh can't wait to see your review of Hobbii :) I recently got some rainbow cotton and it's really great.
I’m sure I will love it and I can’t wait to do the order!! I have bought so much yarn recently and I’m trying to do a bit better with budgeting my yarn shopping (we’ll see if that works LOL!) So it might be a month or more until I do an order but I still can’t wait!! :)
@@katiebeingcreative I feel you 😅 I went crazy during the sales this month. I have a few orders from different stores coming
Good to know it’s not just me lol!

@@katiebeingcreative yes! I looked at them and while there aren’t a lot, the ones they have are really pretty!
For sure!! I definitely think they’re super similar to hobby lobby as well so definitely worth a try if you find a color you want to use!

Do you have any recommendations of the peaches and cream yarn it reminds me of Christmas colors and I was wonder if you have and ideas on what you can do with the yarns
you should do a studio/yarn room tour
That’s a great idea! I’d love to do that! :)🥰
I second that!
@@winternightmarecrochet I love the idea so I will definitely work on that!! :)
@@katiebeingcreative thank you!
Of course!! :)❤️
Hi, what is your opinion on lion brand 24/7 cotton? Is it better than i love this cotton by hobby lobby?
I love this video sooo much! I’m about to go to hobby lobby so I think I will try the number 1 out!!
Aw i’m glad you liked the video!! And you should totally check them out, I’m using them right now for granny squares and I love it!!
@@katiebeingcreative ok great!!! thank you!!
You’re welcome!! :))
Y’all are sleeping in Crafters Secret from Hobby Lobby

Go to 2:49 for comparison to begin

Yes I learned this recently and I haven’t been shopping there since
If their policies bother you don’t work there.

@@Anikanoteven eww
I think you need to hold your ranking till you try the Premier cottons as their acrylic yarns are much softer than most ❤
Can anyone tell what is the best thing to make with cotton yarn?
I clicked the link for the hobby Lobby yarn and it said access denied. Thought you should know the links aren't working ❤

How do you use the sugar and cream without it splaying into layers
It’s honestly just practice working with it. You could also try different kinds of hooks since some hooks have a more pointed tip and some are rounded
Your videos are always so good, I love them
Aw thank you so much!! I’m glad you like them! :)🥰

I would never shop Hobby lobby!
