    I am so glad you did this demonstration because I have stayed away from these type yarns, but now I will definitely try the Caron Latte cakes! Thanks :)

    I love the hygge yarn. I have made 10 scarves, I have not had shedding on my black sweaters but I get it for 4.84 at Walmart

      Awsome!! My Walmart doesn't sell it, but I hope they do soon. I like $4.84 better than $6.99...

    I Love the Hygge yarn you can get at Walmart for $3.47/skein. I haven't had a problem with it shedding. I guess to each his own.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Caron Latte Cakes. My Michael's has had them on clearance for $4.99. I have made some gorgeous scarfs and mittens with it and have enough stock piled to make a sweater as soon as I have time.

    I was so happy to run across this video. I bought a Caron Latte Cake last year with a coupon and it was so pretty, I went back and got another one. They have been sitting in a bag waiting for the perfect project and I have to admit, I was intimidated by it. After seeing how easy it is to crochet and more importantly, take apart if I mess up, I can't wait to make my favorite poncho that I also found on your channel.

  • @jessbrown868
    @jessbrown868 6 років тому +6

    I got Hygge yarn at Joanns, but the ball I got was bigger. 212 yards for $9.99. Now when I bought my yarn I got it on sale for $6.99 (I think, at least I am pretty sure it was around $2 off) and I used a 20% coupon too. Now for me this was a great deal as I am in Canada and it's much more money for yarn here.

    I love the Latte cakes also, and wish they would come out with solids. I think I have every color now. lol Never have I seen the Lion brand one. The red heart came in to my Walmart right before they did a reset in the yarn section. I bought a couple and tried it. Loved it so I went back for more. The store had done a reset and took all of it and put it in the main aisle on a cart for clearance. Needless to say I bought them all. had to tell you guys as you can imagine how I felt.

  • @susanking9502
    @susanking9502 6 років тому +3

    I have only bought and used the Latte Cakes. I totally agree with you on your choice; price is my biggest factor, I crochet daily. Hygge yarn is too expensive for me, Lion Brand is also too expensive.
    I have purchased every color of the Latte Cakes and have made cardigans, sweaters, and blankets with it. 💙💚💙💚

  • @shelleycorbitt4884

    Like Terry B I love the hygge yarn. I'm currently making a shawl with it. I haven't seen any shedding from it at all. And it is available in 2 of my local Walmart stores for $4.84. But thank you Crystal for your review. You are more experienced than I am, and I value your opinion.

    I've crocheted with the red heart hygge and the Caron Latte cakes. Hands down I prefer the Caron Latte cakes. Like you said, better value for the money. Great yardage, easy to crochet and frog, super pretty.

    @gretchendietz1599 4 роки тому

    I first found the hygge yarn at Walmart and fell in love with the softness. It's amazingly soft. I haven't tried the other 2 yarns. I agree the hygge is a bit pricey but it is sooooo soft! I've used it for baby blankets.

    Thanks for the review, Crystal. My sister wants me to make her a fuzzy shrug and I really had no idea which to go with. I definitely need to be able to frog it, I definitely need to be able to see the stitches, and I'd really like a good value for the money. Love you reviews!!!

    @kathym.4307 6 років тому

    Someone else may have posted this info already but I think it’s worth posting again. The Hygge yarn actually comes in 2 sizes - 8 oz (232 yds) and 5 oz (137 yds.) The large one retails for $9.99 and the small one $5.99-$6.99. I found this out the hard way - ended up under buying what I needed. I have only purchased it on sale and I love it, so I think it’s worth it. I haven’t tried the others but after watching your video I will definitely be trying the Latte Cakes. Thank you for the very helpful video!

    I love the Latte Cake and Hygee. The latte cakes have been hard to find, but with enough searching, I was able to find a few, which I bought quite a supply. I agree with you! Yarnspirations should’ve sold it at Joann’s, etc. It’s such a great yarn. Love the Hygge as well and it’s always in stock at Joann’s. Thank you for your reviews and tutorials. Love your channel!

  • @jillibeens57
    @jillibeens57 5 років тому

    I made a hat/scarf set in pink Hygge yarn and I adore it! It washed beautifully and no shedding after. During working with it, it did shed a tiny bit, but after washing, none at all. The hat is one of the warmest and softest I've ever made. I bought mine at Walmart for $4.84. I still wish no yarn would cost more than $3! LOL I'm going to use Hygge for gift items next year while still looking for sales. I've never tried the other two, but I will buy the Latte Cakes based on your review.

    @teresemadebyziattia 6 років тому

    I bought the caron latte cakes while shopping at your retreat. I purchased the Hygge at Michaels in Canada to trim my two dogs Christmas dress.
    Haven't seen the Lion Brand one.
    Definitely would buy the latte for cost.
    The Redheart Hygge I was able to get at 50% off from 8.99 cdn. Was the only one in a solid white to trim the dress in the fashion I wish.
    If the others came in solid they'd sell more.
    Thanks for your honest opinion Crystal.

    I posted a video of me working up a Pure Innocence Shawl from your collection Crystal, and the name of the Caron Cake was Pumpkin Spice, which they don’t have anymore. I absolutely loved that colorway! The colors were so Autumn like. I am so sad 😞 that they don’t have it anymore. I sent a message to Yarnspirations asking if they would bring it back.

    @maureenfreitas4980 6 років тому

    The Caron cake Takes the Cake love it! Okay I haven't tried anything other than the Caron latte cake so I agree with you on that it is the softest and easiest and best value. The Lion Brand right off the get-go I would never buy it because you cannot frog it that's a complete waste money down the drain. Now red heart I would try I love Red Heart yarns even though it may shed I would take that over the Lion Brand even though it's more expensive I'm sure you could get it on sale somewhere. But I love the way you do the yarn comparisons. Bag o day best site on UA-cam you and your family are awesome thank you again Crystal!

    I never bought the latte cake until you did a project. I've not used the lion brand, I bought the hygge, it was on sale and I had a 25% off my total purchase for that price I could justify the 6 skeins I bought in green for a throw for myself. I looked at it for weeks because I just can't spend that kind of money. Glad I got it but I'm a true blue Latte girl now.

    @theastewart6721 6 років тому +2

    Great review Crystal. I love the Caron Latte Cakes myself. I haven’t heard of the Lion Brand Soft Spoken before. I wouldn’t pay that price but even if it were $2 a skein, no thanks. Not the way it frogs or doesn’t to be precise. I also like the colors of the Latte cakes better. They are softer, more muted. More my style. I’m not into bright colors although some I saw on the website were pretty. I’ve never tried the Hygge and after this review I won’t bother. Too expensive for too little yarn. Although if it were $2 a skein I may try it, lol. Again, a very thorough review. Thanks!
