As someone who does a lot of commission work, the idea of the colors being the same across different fibers is a dream come true. Knowing that I could make a piece in wool or cotton and it would turn out "exactly" the same. Plus that fingering cotton looks amazing for colorwork in knitting (esp for people who can't stand wool).
Great point! I wonder how permanent the range is, eg for making a kind of color sampler for people to order from, only to find that a few months on the range changes. If it's a new 'permanent fixture' like cascade 220, that would be so useful!
@@Nasturtiumsandducks That would be my fear, yeah 😔
Amigurumi is my favorite genre of crochet, so I always recommend Hobbii's Rainbow cotton (and Friends Cotton). The color range is unmatched, amazing stitch definition and it's a real pleasure to work with. And I really wish all yarns would have a Start Tab; it's a no brainer! Thank you Toni for your awesome videos!
Was thinking of picking up some rainbow. What's it good for in your opinion?
@@oscara8454 I have only used it for amigurumi projects personally but the stitch definition you get is just superb. It is my "go to" cotton yarn now!
I just made a multi-colored puppy (knit), and was super happy with the rainbow cotton as well.
@@oscara8454 I made a doily with it and scrubbies. It is surprisingly soft.
Love the rainbow cotton, soft and easy to work with. I tend to use the dk one (or as they call it 8/8)
Okay my theory with Hobbi is they offset how affordable some of their yarns are with some slightly overpriced luxe fibers. They know we can resist adding some of those to our otherwise reasonable order 😂
“Wooly halo” = how I am going to describe my morning hair from now on. 🤷🏽♀️😁 Thanks for such a thorough yarn review! I appreciate the time you took to share all of the info. 😊
This was a really helpful review overall! I found myself seeing the Friends line showing up on Hobbii recently, and feeling like I didn't "get" it. Now I definitely see what they were going for!
One extra thing I would have loved to see was a comparison with Hobbii's existing cotton line (the "Rainbow"). That's the one I've been mostly working with for amigurumi, etc., and it would be nice to see how it compares directly with the new options.
Yes this would be helpful please! Can we combine both and achieve a similar result?
So excited to get to play more with this yarn, just got a job at Hobbii so I’ll definitely get to play with the different yarns!
Good luck on the job! How exciting
Nice 👍
Initially I thought the yarns were going to be named Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey + Chandler. Lol
I love the idea of colours matching across fibre blends. Sometimes you like a colour of a cotton yarn but want it for another project in wool. Less guess work.
Hair is 😍
OMG! Didn’t expect your shout out 😊… I struggled with whether to order their Rainbow cotton 8/8 or Friends. Ordered before your video for a temperature blanket for my brother so when I reorder for a different project, I’m intrigued enough to try the Friends collection. 9i also ordered the mini skeins of Palette! I’m just now digging into your book so that I can learn the Tunisian stitches and then teach my daughters and granddaughters. I appreciate you! Kimmy ❤
Looking gorgeous and full of light!
Me yesterday: “sorry Hobbi, I don’t need any more yarn, even at Black Friday prices.”
Me today: “Add to cart!” 😂😂😂
Wow! I’ve been crocheting for 60+ years. I’m learning so much from you. Love your style. Not boring at all ❤😂🎉😊
TONI ! I just had to tell you your hair looks freaking beautiful! There's nothing like changing up your look a bit to make you feel refreshed !! Much love girl! Love your yarn reviews!!!
Thank you for the tip on mercerized cotton. I did not know the difference. Btw, you always look beautiful, you have a smile that just knocks a person out. But you look absolutely amazing today! I am going to have to go in and curl my hair or something lol. I feel under dressed. Oh... and I heard someone else advertising for skill share today and touting what a good teacher that Toni from TL Yarn Crafts is. I was like... "Hey I watch here, yeah she's a fantastic teacher!" It was a fun moment that I just had to share with you. Have a super day!😊
I’ve been crocheting for 48 years! (Yes showing my age lol 😂
My grandmother taught me when I was 9 years old). I love your channel, in particular, I never miss a yarn snob review. I may have grown up in Detroit but a very rural Tennessee community is where I call home now. Its very difficult to drive very far to the nearest Joan’s store and I am on that wants to feel and see the yarn before I buy it for the most part. Your videos take away a lot of the guess work for me when I can’t go and physically buy the yarn.
Keep up the good work! I love you and look forward to all your videos.
❤ 🧶
More hobbii reviews please! They're my go to place for buying bulk yarn
Good morning
This my first time watching Toni live
I am excited to be in the moment
Thank you Toni love you energy
Could you compare the friends cotton and the rainbow cotton?
They seem very similar, would be interested to know if there are any differences.
Hi Pretty lady, I always look forward to seeing your reviews. Love your new hairstyle, also your lovely scarves. You always ❤️ put a smile on my face.
I cannot tell you how much I love you for this video! My shopping cart is filled with Friends' Superwash Merino Wool. I've never ordered from them but wanted to make a sweater for my teen son without breaking the bank. Because you literally answered all the questions I had in my head you gained a new fan and follower. Happy Holidays!
I love Hobbii’s Rainbow cotton. It’s so soft and lovely to work with and is lovely when made up. If the Friends version is the same, with other yarns to match,colour wise, this range is going to be an absolute winner. I love your reviews and find them so informative. Thank you.
I am always scared to try new yarns but I’m excited to see how these go because I would love to try them out
Edit: I will 1000% be trying some of these yarns
Thank youToni!
Personally, I really enjoy the colour matching! I like to make matching accessories for my clothes and don't like "very similar, but not the same" colours together.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your hair!!!
your videos are always incredible, Toni! i’m a crocheter getting into knitting and nothing has been more valuable to me than your videos!!!
I love watching your videos. I learn so much each time. Thank you.
As always, I love your reviews - I can’t wait to try some (or all) of this yarn!
You are such a delight to watch. I love your yarn reviews. Thank you!
Saying hello to my favorite yarn snob!!
Have a wonderful week everyone!!!!
Thanks for reviewing this lovely collection of yarns. That scarf is on FIRE!!! Thanks, Toni. ❤
Toni, I love your yarn reviews. Crochet is something I picked up in summer of 2020. I don't know lots about yarn or what to expect from a fiber, but watching your yarn reviews makes me understand why I don't like some yarns, and am addicted to others. Thanks for being so detailed in your descriptions of the fibers, and showing us a swatch in progress. I love that! Thanks for continuing to make these yarn snob reviews. I LOVE them!
Your hair looks so good Toni!!!
In love with this hair!
Totally needed this review today as I was looking at these! Thanks!
Love all your great videos.! You do such great work.
I was curious about the Friends collection! Thank you for the review!
Love hobbii yarns.
Thanks again for this review, as I have been wondering about this Friend collection.
Haven’t even watched yet but liked already and loving your hair - it’s absolutely glorious 😍😍😍
Toni, both your hair and that yarn is gorgeous 🧶❤️
love yr personality& energy!!
Yes Mama you look fantastic! And always love your videos! Thanks for all you do! Hugs!
Your shirt at the beginning is so fitting; you absolutely do have a sunshine soul ❤️
I ordered kid silk and wool in this collection just two days ago for a vest for Christmas. I love your rewie on those to together!!🥰
Thanks for sharing, can’t wait to see your finished project!
I love your videos, thank you! I love your new hair style too.
The new hair!!!! You are rocking it!
I was one of those people begging for a Friend's review, thanks for listening to us always, love your content!
Oh my gosh girl, your hair looks fabulous.
I am a fortune teller!!! Mwuahahah!!!
Thank you for your review of the hobbii friends collection. I've been comparing different wools for an heirloom sweater I want to make and I found the perfect wool in green. Your explanation of the yarn weight was essential cause it's so hard to tell yarn weight and feel online. Be blessed. Love your book too ❤️
OKAY AUNTIE WITH THE FRESH TRESSES I SEE YOU!! You look stunning and I'm always so ready for a review from you aaah ♥
Yes, definitely gonna try the 8/4 cotton yarn from friends on hobbi. Thanks!😊
So, so helpful! I haven't yet ordered anything from Hobbii because I just wasn't sure what I'd be getting. Now I want to try some things! Thank you!
Your hair is beautiful and it looks beautiful as you are. I love watching you. You have showed me so very much. Thank you for all your time. You are thee Best ❤
I'd love to see a pattern from you for some wristwarmers now when it's getting cold outside. Awesome to give away at christmas, and well needed. Thanks for awesome videos!
Thank you, Toni. You're looking just as beautiful as ever x
Their cotton yarn is my favorite. 💕
I love how your hair looks! Thanks for reviewing this line, I've got to go check it out for some amigurumi!
oh how i love colorblock !! and i’m having a real scarf moment as most of the gifts i’m making are scarves heheh 🥰 love a yarn snob video! and your HAIR!!!
NONONO! You are cosmically great...the universe is just jealous. Also OMG you look amazing! This really looks like a line of yarn that I would gladly roll around in and play with...you know what I mean. So much yarn so few hours in a day. :) Color me intrigued.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽love the hair. Yesss ma’am
Thank you for your video! Hobbii is my favorite yarn brand! They have nice discounts! The wheel of alpaca is so so nice!
Love those center pull, easy start tabs!!!!!!
I was smiling as you read and commented on Miss (Ms) Kimmy's post and ode to you. So sweet. You do bring a lot of joy to people. I wish your review episodes were twice as long, it's a pleasure to hear what you have to say about yarn and products.
I am obsessed with the bestie scarf!
I really like Hobbii’s rainbow cotton for amigurumi and I took a leap of faith ordering their friends cotton for an amigurumi project. Can’t wait to try it.
I just love 💜 you! I wished we were sisters 😊.... I'm soooo proud of your first sweater.... keep up the great work.
I love a lot of the yarns Hobbii has to offer. I wholeheartedly agree with your comment that the super fine merino is "stupid soft"! 😂 Thank you for giving such honest yarn snob reviews!!
Thanks for the info. Love The Scarf!!
I really like the look and sound of these yarns. I just might try them out on my next project. Oh wait, have a few on the go...... when I see my way clear. I'll keep them in mind... well, maybe I could get some yarn now, then I'll be ready to go when the mood moves me.... love your vidoes, thank you.
Obsessed with the hair 🥰
Yay! I've been wondering about the friends line
I am so happy I found your channel. The only yarns I have been using is I love this yarn and red heart, but after watching your yarn reviews, I am ready to branch out to other brands
i do love the idea of being able to match different colors across types of yarn !! i think it would be nice for making different pieces that you still want to match, like if you wanted fluffy mohair with your sweater but just wool for your gloves or something (: i think its also helpful for if you are a colorwork knitter or crocheter to have a bunch of nice and consistent colors to choose from !
i would love to see a comparison video of some of your favorite mohair yarns ! its a type of yarn i havent tried out but have always love the look of it held with another yarn
Oh the friends yarn looks fun
I Love Hobbii!!! I must try the Friends collection
I love using the mohair and cotton from the friends line. As well as the diablo mohair
I LOVE the Friends Extra Fine Merino. I just bought a ton more to make more sweaters. 💜
I just started crocheting with hooks (before only did finger crochet) and happened upon this brand. So far I really like the 8/4 cotton for small toys and things like pot holders, I'm now experimenting with the 8/8 and will definitely move onto the mercerised and merino when I start going into clothes! It's basic but I feel like for a beginner that's great. Thank you for your in depth review!
This collection has been sitting in my cart for a week. I might go ahead and have to check out.
I'm definitely interested in the friends collection. I have three sisters and often want to make the same thing for each of us in different colors. I hope that they will expand the color options for some of their lines.
Great yarn review!
Definetly buying some of those yarns to add handmade clothing to my wardrobe!
Love the feature of the quickie start tab--this girl is tired of yarn barf! I like the mercerized cotton yarn. You don't see that much mercerized out there. I think it holds up better to wash and wear. Nice review!
I had to back up and listen again. You DID say yarn barf! That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time. When you said it I knew exactly what you were talking about!lolol
I have used these yarns a few years back. They have nice yarns. First time I received them, was shock to see how ,small the balls were. But I still buy. Like Rowans Kidsilk yarn and of course it's more expensive. Toni thanks for the review.
Definitely want to try friends yarn. Never thought about pairing something like the mohair with mercerized cotton. Never thought about pairing anything with mercerized cotton so thank for the idea 😁
I will try the meter fixed cotton. Those colors are beautiful.
That kid silk looks amazing! I'm a total sucker for soft yarns.
Thanks for this video I saw this yarn when I did my latest order with them but was'nt sure , so will add some these to my wish list
Thanks for doing the comparisons.Looks like nice yarn to work with. I’d go for the cottons though since I’m in Florida.
You should have had a fan blowing that hair ala Beyonce! Gorge!! As always, a super informative video.
For the make-along with Katie Jones starting march 16 they are promoting this yarn, and for good reason. I normally crochet but will knit for this project, and just like you did in the video, they combine the cotton and mohair in the knitting kit which is why I want to try it. I have received the kit, the colours are very beautiful and the combination Katie put together is striking.
Great job on the review!
"Stupid-soft"...🤣 You are so awesome! I'm def becoming a yarn nerd. Keep up the great work!
TIL about mercerized cotton! Love your videos, thank you!
I’m coveting that hair! OMG!
Love buy yarn and other things 💕 your review 🌹 from hobbies
I made my 2022 temperature blanket in hobbii rainbow cotton and for this new year I am going to be using the friends 8/8 cotton. I really like their yarn. Sure, there might be better options out their, but for the price point I am not complaining. Especially for a bigger project, like a blanket :)
I’ve never seen a fingering weight cotton yarn before! I will definitely be trying that out as I have a few people I gift knit scarfs and other accessories for and they can’t stand the feel of wool! I’m always finding pretty patterns using fingering weight wool and I’m hesitant to substitute with a fingering weight cotton…but I will have to try it out soon!
