    Thank you so much for this! I now have a new place to find yarn. I’m blind, and you’re one of the few people who reviews yarn that talks not just about the color, but the texture and how the yarn feels when you work with it in detail. Thank you so much.

    • @Clairelaferret
      @Clairelaferret Рік тому +13

      Do you have any tips for crocheting by feel alone? I’ve been having eye problems and haven’t been able to crochet for 8 months and I miss it so much! If you have any advice I’d be extremely grateful

    I can confirm that Elixir is better for knitting than crochet! I made just a simple ribbing and stockinette hat with it and it turned out nice.

    I stumbled across the Upcycle Alpaca when it first became available and only paid $4.99. When I realized the price was going to double, I purchased every color in sport and worsted. I absolutely LOVE ❤️ this yarn!!!!

    I knitted a WWII watch cap from the Upcycle Alpaca and it's fantastic. Too warm for the climate here, so it probably won't get worn more than a few days a year, but very nice for gifts for my northern family.
    I am midway through a pullover sweater in Heatherly, and I absolutely love this yarn. I was looking for something nice but less warm than 100% wool, and decided to try it out. It looks great and it's really enjoyable to work with. I had to frog and reknit several inches and, even on the third or fourth go-round, the yarn held up really well.
    I know I'm talking about knitting here, but I'm a crocheter, too, and I'd use either of them to crochet with--Heatherly especially for any garment for children.

    When I was researching colors and textures for my temperature blanket this year I came across Heatherly. We Crochet had the 12 color packs discounted and i thought the colors were so beautiful I bought the color pack and used that pallet as my granny square temperature blanket. It is a pleasure to work with, the colors are gorgeous and the texture is a joy to the hand. Thank you for reviewing We Crochet yarns they are my favorite place to buy yarn.

    @naomicurrier1 Рік тому +5

    What I have always loved about your reviews is you stopping to show what it looks like stitched up, and you don't hold back on your own opinion. You are one of the few reviewers/creators that I truly trust when you give a recommendation. All that said lol, I loved the Heatherly worsted and Upcycled Alpaca. I love that both are more soft in color and that the Upcycled is muted. So I plan on buying both when I have funds again.

  • @StaciaMeconiates

    Elixir looks like a great yarn to do mosaic crochet with. The stitches are simple, but I feel like the heather look would pop in the colorwork patterns

    First I want to say you are a GREAT salesperson!! Professional delivery. The number one thing I love about the review is your suggestion for a project to start with that particular yarn. Heatherly looks amazing. I want to buy a hank of that Alla Prima and just use it as a pillow 😂

    Brava Tweed is one of my favorites! I'm crocheting a sweater in it and I'm loving it. I also like Brava stripes for making hats on my knitting machine.
    I also love Heatherly! It is sooo lovely working with it. Mind you, I'd purchased it for a knit project, so I haven't used it yet. The muted colors just called to me for a long lasting wearable.

  • @lucieperchellet
    @lucieperchellet Рік тому +2

    I'm definitely excited to try Heatherly! Upcycle Alpaca would definitely have me skeptical at first too, but based on how you described the texture, I think I would really like working something up with it. Personally I love the color palette, but agree there's ALWAYS room for more 😂

    The Mill Hose Super Bulky is definitely looking appealing...I like to make projects to donate in the winter, so maybe I'll pick some of this up so I can make more projects! The Brava Tweed looks really appealing, too. Right now, I'm working on a big shawl in Wool of the Andes Superwash, and I'm loving it so far.
    PS: Thank you for your Hue Loco Cozy in Colorado recommendation. I got some in Merino Sock, and I'm making ANOTHER AdventUrous scarf. My first was in Skein tones, and I've really fallen in love with the simple pattern with a big payoff!

    • @TJtheBee
      @TJtheBee Рік тому

      By the way - may have just bought a shitton of yarn via your recommendations. ...what? I needed yarn to make donation projects! (No I didn't. That's a lie. My two OVERFLOWING buckets of yarn would like to have an intervention with me now . . .)

    Toni my cousin and I just had this exact conversation about an actual book verses audio , while each are good there is nothing like turning pages and that fresh off the press smell of a book . While discussing books we’ve read I’ve noticed that with audio some miss little tidbits because of distractions around them . For me I’m a page turner .

    Toni, you do come across as a best friend and I love that! I have an idea for future videos that I haven't seen. In Florida every church, library and yarn shop seem to have a crochet group, however, it is March and it's 87 degrees outside. Do you have any suggestions for crocheting during hot , hot weather? The rest of the states will catch up to our weather soon and we don't want to put our needles down,. I would love a light weight boomerang scarf and other light weight projects.. Suggestions on yarns and hook size would be appreciated so much. Thanks for considering us.

    I love your enthusiasm for your work! You're so knowledgeable and your voice is so soothing.
    I gotta say tho, the Alla Prima would be the 1 star for me. I'm not wild about the style of yarn & it's totally impractical unless you want to make a wall hanging or something.
    I was wondering tho, do you think the yarn you said is better for knitting might be better for a Tunisian crochet project?
    Thank you again for your outstanding content

    I would love to see you do a mini review of the new spring yarns from Joann! I'm really interested to see what other people think of them. Especially since a lot of them are lighter weights, and are very affordable for how much yarn you're getting per skein. I'm especially interested in other thoughts on Big Twist Panorama, it's very soft but it keeps un-twisting itself while I work with it. So I would love to hear your thoughts on it!
