    I live on a limited budget, your reviews help me when I go to the craft store. It seems we have the same taste in yarn and your recommendations and your comments help me by yarn that is what I'm looking for. Like I said a limited budget so I don't buy yarn that will disappoint. I want to thank you these videos help a lot. Please don't stop doing them!

    I am currently working on a sweater with this yarn. You DO NOT want to make a mistake because it is hard to frog... not impossible but frustrating. So far I like working with it. It has a nice drape but it doesn't have a striping effect but the sweater is still going to be beautiful. I would also classify this as a very light 4 weight and almost a 3 weight. The halo effect is making a beautiful sweater.

  • @chaliceguard4575

    So glad you critiqued the Scarfie Lite, Crystal. I've had my eye on that yarn for a bit, but the price ($9.99) is a deal-killer for me right now. I love fuzzy yarns, so frogging is no big deal for me. I find that if I hold the stitches taught in one hand while I pull the yarn loose horizontally (in a direct opposite direction from the stitches in the row), it is much easier to frog. I've used regular Scarfie and love the finished product, but find that its wool texture makes it a bit rough on my fingers. I particularly love the way Scarfie turns out on a knitting loom. Thanks, Crystal.🤩

  • @LoriClassroomStoriesAndCrochet

    I really like the way you break down your scoring for the yarn. It gives me a very clear understanding of your evaluation. Would you say it's like Latte cakes at all??? I think Latte cakes yarn is slippery and I love the way it works up, but it is not terrible to pull out as long as it's not complicated/involved stitches

    Good review Crystal. I still have to try some day because I love the color palette but I value your opinion. Good to see the yarn too. From the pics on the web I knew it had a halo but not that huge! I like fuzzy yarns but without the video I wouldn't have known it was that fuzzy! I agree the Scarfie name is misleading for sure.

    Super helpful information. Yarn purchasing can feel confusing enough without using the same name for a totally different product. I also can't work with smaller yarns so this would have been a big disappointment. You have such a straightforward but gentle way of speaking the truth.

You are totally right about mistakes! The core of the yarn is very thin, and going back and fixing errors was almost impossible.

    I have a shawl that I knit out of the Scarfie Cranberry/Black and a black, whose maker I can't remember, that I just love. I totally agree that they should have given it a different name. Imo, it was an underhanded thing for them to do. It just burns me up when well-liked brands do these kinds of things. As you said, it was a good thing you had points to use.

    @pratyt5079 Рік тому +1

    Thank you Crystal for a wonderful review. 💕 I've never tried Scarfie because of the wool but I really enjoyed your review. I agree with you, Lion Brand really messed up. They created a bait and switch situation with the new yarn hoping to get people to try it, despite the differences. I personally love roving and fuzzy yarns. I just don't use a fancy stitch with the fuzzy and pull opposite the stitch for frogging. I've also worked out a system for slippery yarn. But almost $10 is much to much for me to pay for yarn, even as pretty as it is. Bless you Crystal 🍀

  • @gidgetandsomeyarn

    I love Scarfie yarn, especially for cardigans. Thank you for your honest review. I do value your opinion. I liked it until you frogged it. Then it was a no for me. I rarely do a project from start to finish without having to frog something, and of a yarn is already showing it will tangle, I pass. Be safe.

    I've never used Scarfie before. I am still learning all the new yarns out there. I was surprised as I came back into the world of yarn and saw how much is out there. This you are showing looks pretty and like it's really soft. I think you are giving a very accurate assessment of this yarn. I don't enjoy using yarns with halos as they always get hung up. They are beautiful, but just not my favorite.
