Jennifer, thank you for supporting the Premier Yarn Brand in this video!!! We sincerely appreciate you featuring our yarns! Your work is beautiful!!
“ I ♥️LOVE, LOVE, LOVE PUZZLE yarn 🧶 !!!!! “
I was wondering how the puzzle yarn washed up. It looks very warm and cozy. Your blankets are beautiful. Good job ❤
Experts don’t know it all about a subject. They do more way more than the average person and they have a strong interest in what they know about.
So nice of you to mention Boggy Creek. Nancy, Lynette and Billie do a wonderful job with this charity. Hugs Bun! 😊💕
I mention it frequently
Waiting until my self-imposed yarn ban is up in February. Then definitely getting some Puzzle yarn & Ice Cream yarn! My wish list grows…
Thanks for the suggestions 😉
I’m just learning to crochet and I’m so happy you mentioned donating blankets! I didn’t even think of this. I can tell this is something I’m really gonna enjoy so it’s nice to know that I can donate some of the things I make. This actually motivates me even more 💕
My grandkids love the Bernal blanket yarn and I have used it for their blankets. I keep my house a little chilly. Lol
It is not just the yarn it is the stitch that you do I’m doing a blanket in Tunisian crochet and it is thick and I’m using a 4weight and I’ve done a waffle pattern blanket with a 4 weight
Thank you...thank you...Jennifer you are a Rock Star
Jayda in stitches is a mitered granny square. It is truly awesome and quick to make.
I linked it below the video. I remembered the name after i filmed
Jennifer and all of those who watch your videos, thank you all for sharing your yarn knowledge and choices. It is so helpful! Everyday I am rushing home from work to spend time with one of my “bestie you tubers” as I watch your videos. It brings me such joy
Good Morning 🤗 I agree, I love Puzzle yarn. I have a blanket made out of it in my bed that I use year round. Lying under it as I’m watching this video 🥰
Jennifer introduced me to Premier Puzzle yarn (bulky #5 wt) and I used it to make my hubby a blanket ("Go Fish" color). Premier Puzzle makes a gorgeous blanket. I found that the density of the blanket fabric greatly varies depending on the stitches used. Because I wanted a denser, warmer blanket, I used the simple stitch pattern of SC/DC/SC/DC... The result is a soft, thick, spongey, cushy blanket fabric). However, if I wanted a lighter weight blanket that is also warm, I would choose a lighter weight yarn that has a bit of wool, such as Premier Coffee Shop. Thanks, Jen! 🤩
Great video! Learned about anti-pilling which will be great for projects I have in mind. Thank you so much!❤️💙💖
Jennifer, this is a really helpful and informative video. I've been crocheting blankets for a very long time and I still learned some good tips from you!
I LOVE Puzzle yarn ❤
Thanks for all of your info.
I really enjoyed hearing about the different blanket yarn. I have to get myself some of that Premier Puzzle!
good morning thanks for yarn different. my skin is itches .I like cotton polyester yarn.
Thanks for a great, thorough video today. You should continue this "Best Yarn for ____" series. Your honest approach is perfect for these! Just a thought. Cu in the next! 😊👍🧶
😉
@@CinnamonStitches Just FYI, I think my first comment got deleted. I think I used a no-no word. I referenced your candid approach as '_____ from the hip' and I think it blocked it😬😬😬😬 oops
Great blanket yarn recommendations!
I always appreciate your wisdom... blessings
I love your yarn channel you’re such a pleasure to watch and very helpful.❤ It’s okay to forget things I do it all the time sweetheart! Us adults have so much adult’ing going on we get a bit shuffled. 🤗
I made a blanket for my bed from Premier Puzzle. I love it! I'm making scarves for Veterans for Christmas gifts this year out of the Premier Just Yarn Value. They are turning out great.
Are you using a pattern you can share. Currently making infinity scarfs, but would like to make traditional scarfs to donate.
@@fran2205631 I haven't used any specific patterns.
Knit vs. Crochet vs. Tunisian and the chosen stitch pattern makes a very big difference on how much yarn you will need. Sales are a great way to get softer yarn at good price point.
Also cotton or bamboo blends are a great type of yarn that tick all the boxes but are super comfy. When on clearance.
I do l love the puzzle yarn for warm blankets and I also like premiers anti pilling yarn for baby blankets and lighter weight blankets. Thankyou for your opinions and a great video.
Thank you for these suggestions!! I am using Hobby Lobby I love this yarn in multiple varigated colors for my temperature blanket. It's not too bulky and is just warm enough. I just bought some Red Heart Roll with it melange and Caron Macchiato, so looking forward to seeing how they work out. I would like to try some Premier Puzzle cotton and Lion Brand Ferris Wheel for some. I love the idea of blankets lol. We won't talk about the big twist stash with assigned blanket patterns...
Thank You so much! I felt like you were talking straight to me!!! I really enjoy your videos and your information content.
Now to shop for yarn. 😅😅
Super DUPER helpful advice on the textures! Thanks so much for sharing!!😊❤

I feel like if your making it for a charity and wanna go the cheaper route go for the premier yarn that you can get at dollar tree but get it on the actual premier website in the bigger skein. I've made a beautiful baby blankets for both of my kids that they loved in the dollar tree yarn. And that calendar blanket would be perfect for juju because of the graduation month.
Afternoon jen I could listen to your voice all day it is so easy to hear what you are saying. Question how big would you knit a dog blanket I make them for a pet rescue and they want some knitted ones but not sure what size. Thanks
Your Garth shirt reminded me that I heard that he is getting divorced. Please tell Mr. CS so he can...well, you know how it goes. He and GB may have to fight it out.😂😅😢😮
(I just couldn't resist...Look, I'm an old lady just having some fun! Don't deny me my "chuckles for the day").
PS- I love your chuckles, too!)

I am using puzzle yarn now to make a granny square blanket for boogy creek.
Jen, I first discovered Premier Puzzle yarn at Walmart (when my Walmart actually had yarn) and love it. I made two blankets using it and the second one my grandson talked me into keeping. Love the puzzle yarn because it is thinner 5 weight yarn and love the colors. Not a big fan of thick yarn. I mainly use 4 weight yarns for blankets, but have made several with Mandala yarn and they came out great.
Did you see Kim from Kim’s Crochet and Knits made Sophie’s Universe in cotton! Stunning!!!!!
Very informative. Thank you for all the information. This is just a suggestion for a future video. Maybe the different stitches you can make on a blanket.🎉👏
All three of my cats absolutely love crochet. To the point that it's a little annoying lol. I think it's a texture thing, they love making biscuits on my wips.
Jennifer, thank you so much for this information. I have neuropathy, and my skin burns so bad sometimes that I can't stand anything against it. I have never tried the Ice Cream yarns or the anti-pill yarns, but I will definitely check those out. I really like some of the chenille yarns, and Bernat velvet is nice, but it can't really be washed in the machine and stay nice. Plus, the velvet would be expensive to make... Thanks again!
I loved using pound of love for blankets. Actually I call this pound of hell because of all the tangled yarn barf, however I can get a whole blanket out of it without having to change skeins and it washes up nice and soft.
I like pound of love too
Love your hair! When talking about yarn today, you were talking about sensitivity. I got a hold of a skein of yarn that had mohair in it. I ended up taking Benadryl sparkle blanket.😂😂😂
Yeah i cant do mohair
Pleasee make one for sweaters if possible! I have eczema too and this was really helpful 💖
I like your hair cut you suite it really well.
I have done the same thing with my knitting machine and I used mattress stitch to link them together for my nephew, and he loves it
Im gonna use matress stitch on the next one.
Lovely video, thank you. So helpful, I always learn something new 😊 Thanks Jen, have a lovely day 😊
So glad it was helpful
Random comment here. Love your Buccee’s cup!!! Now, back on topic, your answers are spot on. My own “little man” couldn’t stand shirt tags and the seams on the sock toes. Another great video Jenn!
Oh yes! Sock seems are the worst for him and my niece!
Okay, my 17-yr-old son struggled with all of these when he was young... Maybe I should've gotten him tested?! 😬 #badmom
Such a great, thorough video today, Jen! I hope you keep adding to the series, "Best Yarn for _____." Your honest, 'shoot-from-the-hip' approach is perfect for these. Just a thought🤔 Thx! Cu in the next! 😊👍🧶
Love then blankets very pretty colors ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Jennifer never thought of using puzzle yarn for blankets. 😮 Hugs and prayers 🤗🙌❣
I love your hair. I enjoyed hearing about your sensory issues with certain yarns. I’m not too sensitive, but everybody’s different. Knitted knockers has a yarn list on their website, for those interested in knitting them. I’ve knit mostly baby blankets for others. The Caron cotton/ acrylic blend makes a really nice baby blanket.
Carrie Penny showed how she made a blanket with the knitting machine tubes.
Thats where i got the idea from
Jennifer, thank you for all the information. I have been crocheting for years and you provided alot of good information that people don't think of when crocheting.. thanks again your the best!!
Thanks for the video and information.
Very enjoyable episode. ❤
I love the blanket made out of the Premier yarn, that is beautiful!! My sister has multiple sclerosis and has problems with her skin and I made her a scarf last year out of the Premier yarn and she absolutely loves it and has had no problem.
I am using the anniversary cakes to make a blankie. So excited to see how it turns out. ❤ I’ll have to try puzzle yarns, never tried them. I hope you are doing well! 😘
I feel the same about my yarn My hands just don't like working with scratchy plastic feeling yarn Ive been n touched and the caron cakes are softer to me Id try premier yarn if I could touch it first I just got the Macchiato yarn in the soulful blue shade for a blanket Im pairing it with scarfy for a stripe effect Im getting an off white ti separate the bands of color Still looking for right contrast So fun 😂
Hello! I'm really loving my Bradley Afghan with Hue & Me yarn by Lionbrand, washes and dries with no pills, super quick to work up, got yarn on sale! Currently making a Lunar Crossings throw with Colorama Halo, bulky weight so it's fast, super soft, and machine wash/dry per label. Happy day, and happy stitching! 😊
AHH!! YOU HAVE THE BEST TIMING!!! ♥I was just asked by my husband about making a couple of baby and baby sibling items. Premier puzzle looks like a great idea. I've decided I want it to be some premier yarn yarns, so this video really comes in at a great time for me.
I'm also looking at Momenti (so pretty!), so I am going to dig around for some videos of yours that mention that. It's crazy when you think about all the yarns there are and how many I still haven't tried, so thankful for your videos! 🙂
Im fairly confident momenti is not machine washable.
Thank you@@CinnamonStitches I will stick with Puzzle for the kiddos and something nice for me with momenti! 😃
Good morning Jennifer, Very good info, thanks for sharing! Have a fantastic day, enjoy! ❤️🤗
You can use some white panels on your blue baby blanket... just thought
Good morning you have given us a lot of great information and I enjoyed it so much even though I rarely make blankets. I don't have the patience for them. LOL
Good morning
As soon as I heard you say the 3rd soda wasn't helping I wanted to comment. The same reason caffeine calms down Little Man might be why the caffeine it wasn't helping you. I used to (* pre-menopause LoL ) drink a whole pot of coffee a day - even up to the minute before my head hit the pillow, and never lose a wink of sleep. Always LOVE your videos! Thank You ❤
I love the unforgettable red heart yarn. It flows through my fingers like butter....
Vertical nice, informative video. Thanķ you!
I had never thought about using the puzzle yarn to make baby blankets but you gave me some good ideas!
One of the other yarns from Lion Brand that I love for blankets is Pound of Love. It is heavy worsted, maybe not as soft as Premier's Just Yarn big ball, but when washed and dried with fabric softener, it's unbeatable, in my opinion. It wears almost as long as Red Heart.
Jenn, my all time favorite yarn is lion brand woolease. I live in Michigan & love the warmth & ease of care. It's perfect for blankets.
Hair is looking extra lovely today! Beautiful!
Hi Jen! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on what yarns work best. There are just so many factors that go into that decision.
Hi Jennifer, fellow crocheters and watchers
Always love when you raise awareness to sensory stuff and neurodivergence.
I officially got my ADHD diagnosis the other day- met a fantastic psychiatric NP who was so understanding of my autism and before even doing the adhd evaluation was like “I know just from the way you speak and the flow of conversation, if you’re somehow negative for adhd I’d be shocked.” 😂 I’m now impatiently waiting for a Ritalin script but so freaking excited to start because my “AuDHD” I’m realizing has always been probably my most difficult disability most of the time and after the stuff I’ve been through in the last two years the adhd has been out of control.
You’ve seen my long rambling replies. I never did fully finish my dang shirt I promised to email you a photo of. I have six or maybe actually 8 projects in some state of partially done just surrounding me in bed right now. I’m telling you the parts I can make a joke about but omfg I truly never realized adhd could be this bad. I know it’s what’s kept me stuck and struggling so much. So I’m really hoping treatment helps.
Sucks I haven’t for the life of me been able to find a single therapist who is familiar with adhd and autism. Not who takes Medicare which is flipping insulting and ridiculous since while autism and adhd aren’t the reason I got on disability and the Medicare to begin with, obviously so many disabled folks are neurodivergent and too poor to otherwise afford therapy. It’s heartbreaking all around and played a role in all the crap in my life how much (adult- pediatric hospitals are great) hospitals and doctors tend to not know flip all about neurodivergence either. So my medically complex, traumatized, unicorn of a self showed up deep into Covid. Got more harm than help and just ugh. But uh, patience I’m finding is something I’m especially lacking and just hoping the meds help in a big way for me. I’m not a fan of psychiatrists and medications but I knew it was time.
That was fun! Thank you! I was thinking of doing a Boggy Creek blanket if I have enough time and if not I will hold on to it when I finish it and donate it to them next year. I don't usually do anything bigger thank small baby blankets for strollers or car seats. So this was a good vlog for me Jen because you mentioned a lot of yarns I would not have picked for blankets. Hope you are having a wonderful day, hugs for everyone.
Also ...try and buy enough for ur whole project ❤....if ur looking for a quick baby blanket , or u can make it into a reg blanket , and u like the granny...check out the daphny blanket by tl yarn crafts 😊😊
Thank you good info😊
Thanks for the info.
Thank you for sharing 😊
I make blankets with latte cakes also.
Very good blanket info today. I’m using Puzzle yarn, I found on Amazon for less than $6 a skein, making myself a new squishy winter throw. I love how the colors are working out. I don’t know if there is a tutorial on Carrie Penny’s channel, but she has recently shown a blanket made with the panels from her knitting machine. 💕
Thank you this is very helpful information. I always wonder what are the best yarns for blankets , specially now that fall and cooler weather is hopefully coming soon 👍👍❤️🧶🙂.
Have a great day! I am hoping to order yarn for a baby blanket this afternoon. Have a lapghan I am making for step mom and cowel. I have projects I want to make for the adult kids, a
Amigurumi for grandkids, a baby to make hats and a blanket for….I need to lick it in serious gear!!!
Thank you so much for this, Jennifer! It was the video I needed that I didn't know I needed! 🙂
I really like making blankets it's repetitive and I can crochet and watch TV or you tube. ❤
Hey Jennifer 😊????
Could you possibly do a tutorial on how you sew up the panels from knitting machine to make blankets? Since it’s a knitted up project am wondering how you attach them especially if someone doesn’t know how to actually knit 😜
Would so appreciate it so much..🙏🏻 Cause I have a addi but still haven’t used it yet but was thinking once I do I could do blankets like you did for some charity donations 🥰
Hi Jennifer, very interesting. Didn’t think about some of these things. Thank you. Be safe
I made a blanket with a 60 cotton/40 acrylic 3 weight yarn in corner to corner stitch. I thought it would be warm from the acrylic and soft from the cotton. This thing weighs 5,000 pounds and doesn't keep you warm at all. You freeze under it, lol. It holds up great in the washer and dryer but we don't like it. Should I try a 100% acrylic?
My kiddo and I cut the tags out of our shirts. We have sensory issues!
Good morning Jen 😊
Good morning!
Jennifer when I make a blacket I mack it with yarn that I would waunt for myself! I have M S so my skin is senative.
I appreciate your yarn reviews so much. I have a thing about the feel of the yarn also. If you say it’s soft, I’m like okay! All good!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS VIDEO! I have even downloaded for future information! Very informative!
Thanks so much for the info . I’ve just started crocheting blankets and I’m love with it . Your amazing 💖 normally I’m a knitter I crocheted when I was a teenager then learn to knit and I do both .
Hey neighbor! Im from centreville va ❤
I have made a log with bernet baby sport
Good morning!!! ♥♥♥
Good morning!
Morning sunshine. Your hair is so cute today.
Oh thank you!
I LOVE Premier Puzzle yarn! I've used a fair amount of the premier yarns at Dollar Tree and i always like them!! I've made baby blankets from the premier parfait (chenille), before I knew that it would worm ☹️
Thank you for all your information, do you have a pattern or tutorial for the granny square red,white and blue blanket made with the premier just yarn and basic. Really like that blanket
Something I didn't think about until recently, if you have animals especially cats... is the person allergic to animal dander. I can't make them for two of my nieces/ nephews.
I love making blankets. I'm knitting a blanket for my mom, and I allowed her to pick out the yarn and the color she wanted. Since the blanket is for my mom, the price of the yarn was not a problem for me.
My problem is that I have to switch between projects, and her blanket is taking forever.
Did you ever do a review on the Bloom yarn? Found your review!
Thank you for this wonderful and informative video. I'll be trying the puzzle yarn for my next blanket.
Good Day Jen! Hope your well..
Months ago I started following a pattern/tutorial for a duster you made! I reached far with the project but ran out of the grey yarn I was using! I live in Jamaica and they do not have an abundance of yarn like the USA! Today I went there as the advertised they are having a sale, so I found my grey yarn! Not sure if it's the duster you have on in this picture, I reached quite a way on the one I started and do not want to pull it out and start over! Can you help please 🙏 😊😅🎉😊😅😮😢🎉😂❤
I have a blanket in a whip bag I’ve been working on for myself slowly that I’m working up with style-craft DK yarn. It will get finished eventually lol. I do plan on a blanket for my daughter from the latte cakes because of her texture issues.
Lmao 🤣 “People who are older have older skin cause they’ve had it their whole life “ 🤪😂
Yikes couldn't find the link to the mitered blanket...❤❤❤
