Toni I love this series! You single-handedly taught me that there is more to yarn than worsted weight acrylic, and for that I will always be grateful lol
@@elizabethprimeau3286 every time I start looking at yarn, I have to remind myself that I have PLENTY that I need to work through before I get more. I hate clutter and am pretty minimalist… but yarn is kryptonite 🙃
Emma, I agree. I have never given much thought beyond color, texture, and size. This thought me I need to learn more about yarns and threads more beyond the basics.
The silk they have in "A Touch of Silk" looks to be silk noil, those tweedy bits in the yarn give it away. Silk noil is the shorter fiber that is left over from making silk fabric so it doesn't have the soft and shiny quality like the pulled silk you normally think of. It has a bumpy texture and feels a bit more like cotton in texture. Landscape breeze is so gorgeous, thanks for sharing these!
@@TLYarnCrafts That silk noil is probably where the smell comes from. I have several skeins of 100% silk noil yarn, and they all have that strange smell.
I made a 100% silk noil dress once. It was wearable, luxurious, unique material and lasted for yrs and yrs. It didn't feel anything like you expect "silk ", that is not slippery or drapey. I guess it is just enough silk noil to add the.nubs to texture the yarn. Thanks for the reviews. Love to listen to you.
Wow, as a hand spinner I am very impressed with your critique of the average/ or above average retail yarn. I've just rolled a one pound ball of yarn mixed with scrapes of everything. Merino, Jacob, finland, hand dyed, hand spun, art yarn , nylon, mohair acrilic. Every random yarn you could think of in a cornucopia of textures and colors. The end results are one of a kind artistry. Hang on to all of it. You can never underestimate how a simple yarn can make a project pop. All of us fiber artists are amazing creators. Your information is so real. It doesn't shame anything just reads the medium for how it hooked. Love it.
Walked into Joann’s and found landscapes breeze and immediately fell in love with it. I made my sister a pretty long scarf with only 4-5 little skeins in Willow and I made a small dog sweater in a different color. The color transitions are amazing! I’m just sad that it’s all sold out online. Can’t wait until they restock. :)
i used the faux mo in the charcoal color to crochet a sweater vest! i doubled up the strands and it turned out really light weight and soft! it is affectionately called my dust bunny vest
The scrubby yarn surprised me, to be honest. I've never seen a skein of this type of yarn before, ever! And that it was soft on your skin REALLY surprised me. Am dumbfounded why Lionbrand would develop a singular, niche yarn like this only for a limited time frame. It seems to me if it is successful, they should continue to make it since it is the one yarn no one else ever makes. That Landscapes yarn reminds me of a yarn you used about 18 months ago in another review, but I think that one was a cotton yarn. Thank you once again for being such an amazing presenter. I adore your channel!
Probably exactly as you stated, it's limited as a test period. If it sells well they'll likely enter a very similar kind (most likely adjusted a bit according to feedback) to their permanent line
I happened to find several skeins of the scrubby yarn in the bargain bin at my local JoAnne's- and I have ZERO complaints about it. I'm generally extremely bad with crochet- for years I couldn't even maintain tension, or keep track of stiches, always fighting the yarn (and what do you know, it's always been the cheapest of worsted weight acrylic). But the scrubby yarn? Love it. A little hard to manage the first few stiches, but that's understandable, and after that it's dead simple. So much so I've made a few scrubbies from it, and usually have at least one for use in the shower. It really is fairly soft on the skin while working it up as well
I’m late commenting, but regarding the smell of the yarn that had silk in it…silk itself has a very distinct smell. I haven’t smelled the yarn in question, but whenever I am shopping for clothes, I can recognize silk by the smell.
Love ur reviews because u do a swatch in front of our eyes and u talk about how it is to actually work with it and the slip on the crochet hook! Ty for a detailed review
I know I'm seeing this video after it's been up for 2 years (just started knitting/crochet a few weeks ago) but at roughly 7:25 when you said "give us this yarn", I immediately thought "our daily thread" haha. Love your videos and glad to have found your channel!
I always love your yarn review videos Toni, but I especially loved that you brought in questions from your Instagram audience - it really covered everything we’d want to know about these yarns 🙂 Thank you for trying out all these yarns for us!
I am actually a very long time knitter and a big yarn snob. Would never buy non-animal yarns but I just was blessed with a brand new grandson. As I am older I have decided to start to crochet again and have found your channel so refreshing. Love your reviews. I am going to return that cake yarn that you really gave a thumbs done and I am sure you are right. I have to go and check out some of your beginner stitches and Tunisian videos. Thank you so much
This is amazing--my joints aren't playing nice with me so I can't crochet right now (my WIP basket is just starting at me) even with my finger braces, so I love getting to watch this
Sorry to hear about your joints 😪 I've got badly misshapen fingers with arthritic joints but fortunately not too painful, just make me clumsy. Hope your pain eases soon x
I hope you'll be able to crochet again soon! I haven't been able to crochet for over a week due to pain. Hope all of us spoonies can get some good health days so we can crochet the days away :)
I feel bad your hands hurt and have stopped you from doing what you love. I too have stopped crocheting because of my finger joints. I have never heard of finger braces before. Where can I buy them???
@@mariatriesart8389 I got mine on Amazon; I tried a set that let me try multiple sizes and mix and match depending on my needs, and I opted for plastic instead of metal Also thanks everyone for the well wishes--you're all so sweet! I'm sorry it's more than just me dealing with this
Toni as always I love your videos. I especially loved this format with the Instagram questions, you should definitely keep that it’s nice to hear other people’s concern thrown in to your already incredible yarn reviews.
Toni I am a former follower of yours, I must say I was very pleased and happy with your lessons. I found them helpful and I learned more than I realized. I'm back repeating and re-following if I might re do this word, but I just wanted to let you still have it, your confinement, patience and eagerness to help. I'm back, read to learn more. Thank you.🤗🤗😌
I’ve been going through a little bit of a depressive episode where I’ve lost my joy in yarn and crocheting… I really wanna try some of these yarns now which makes me really happy. So thanks for putting these videos out 🥰
Your yarn reviews are exactly what I want to know. I've used many of the yarns you recommended and I was not disappointed. I appreciate you taking the time and saving me from making yarn shopping mistakes. Thank you for being my yarn consultant 😊
Hi Toni! I watched this when you released the video and wa sso sad I couldn't find Lazy Days anywhere! Well GUESS WHAT! I found it at my local yarn shop finally! I'm in Canada and my nearest store is called Len's Mills Store and they finally carry Lazy days! 7.49 a ball but it's EASILY become my FAVORITE yarn ive ever used!!! I've been making granny squares with it I have almost every single color (and multiple balls of it!) It's seriously an incredible yarn!!! I just had to come share that I'm finally able to enjoy Lazy Days and you were the one who introduced it to me!!
I love these reviews, you are keeping me company while a weave in a million ends on a Mondrian sweater my son needs and cannot live without. For Touch of Silk the smell would totally put me off, one of the things I love about yarn is the squish and the smell. I love the smell of new yarn as much as I love the smell of old books.
Being fairly new to crocheting, I have been visiting every crocheting sight I can find on UA-cam. And I found you. TY I not only have u been learning stitches, patterns with a great teacher. It's like sitting with a friend and sharing an afternoon crocheting together.
Dear Toni, I just subscribed a few minutes ago, 27 minutes as I watched your video on new Lion brand yarns to try. I am happy to join your channel and the tunisian stitch is my favourite stitch I learned when I was 8. I have been crocheting since I was 6 years old taught by my grandmother. So I learned by following what my grandmother did by sight the thin #10 white cotton as she made doilies, I followed along. Then I got a book from the library and tried followed along to learn the tunisian stitch I found and loved the look of. To this very day I must revisit relearning the basic stitch. I cannot seem to be able to make a straight edge on kne side sometimes the other. Also I have neverlearned to read patterns very well, as some terms I don't understand what they mean. I loved your review of all the yarns, that were test yarns by Lion brands. Did any test brand make the test as a Lion brand yarn to sell? I dont own wooden crochet hooks, I thought they were just a preference but now learned from you that they are used for slippery yarns. What kind do you use???
Toni, I decided to learn Tunisian crochet and came across your channel. YOU TOTALLY ROCK! Every time I watch your videos I feel like I have a friend in the room with me. When I watched you test the crochet hooks I was laughing out loud. Thank you for being so natural. It’s rare. I’ve added you to the list of “people I’d like to meet”. Lol
Hi, I’m new to crochet and just found your channel. I am going through your videos and learning so much. OMG you know so much your videos are so detailed and full of information. Your wonderful to watch love your reviews, thank you xx
You mentioned Mary Maxium, I used to drive to Port Huron rather frequently to buy yarn there, it was about a 5 hour drive round trip. It's been years since I've kntted or crocheted anything. I think I'm ready to get back in to it. I was mesmerized watching you crochet forwards and backwards. I've never seen that before. Anyway, I have a few quilts to finish and maybe I'll take a trip to Port Huron for some yarn shopping.
Ok so I am so glad that someone else had a Joann experience like I had. Went in for just two skeins to finish some hats and when I left I had a bag that looked like I was making 40 sweaters! In my defense it was a doorbuster day and I only spent around $30....Love me some Joann
A lot of times, what I look for in yarns is washability. Especially if it's going to be a gift. Texture, for that matter, is important. It's going to perform based on fiber content, and I understand that.
I live watching your videos, you have such an relaxing voice I wanna just sit relax with tea and consider buy at all yarns you talk about because you sell them girl!
I just ordered your book on Amazon ♥️ I didn't even look to see what it's about! But wanted to make sure I got a copy. I'm just learning how to crochet tunisian..
This is my first time watching your video. I have to say I am an instant fan. I really like your commentary on the new JOANN's yarns. Thank you for your opinions.
Thanks! I am poor but I wanted to express my appreciation for your amazing channel. It’s EVERYTHING 🔥🔥🔥 If this is not enough for a coffee, but that sweet puddy tat of yours could have a little kitty snack bag on me 🥰
Toni, I love your yarn reviews. I appreciate that you do a nice swatch and recommend an appropriate hook type. I like how indepth you discuss the yarn pros and cons. So many yarn reviews just show the yarn just show the yarn and give stats. I want to see yarn worked up to better understand how to appropriately select yarns for my projects. Thank you for your reviews..you are my go to person for all things crochet.
Love, love your video’s. You are delightful. Your yarn reviews are are very through, and very educational. Thank you for all the great information. I love how you honestly describe the yearn. Blessings to you my dear friend.
What a fun and informative review! ( I also found myself reading your shirt over and over, and taking deep breaths. I guess I really needed to de-stress! 😀) I really want to try the Landscape Breeze and the Lazy Days. Thank you!
Just ordered several skeins of the Lazy Days yarn. Exactly what I’ve been looking for for several purse/tote projects. Super excited! Thanks for sharing!!!
Double checked the Landscapes Breeze - it's got 20% wool, not cotton. I'm trying to find non-wool colorful options for my daughter. Off to look for another yarn. Love how you review yarns- from softness, colour range, workability, price etc. Many thanks!
If you find any, let me know. Wool has the BEST color options but I don’t typically need or want wool for the types of projects I normally make. It’s a struggle!
Yes, I know this video is old but I'm here to add my .3¢. I purchased the Stitch Soak Scrub. I make bath and body products and I figured your review was good, I should give it a try. I offer crochet clothes, so why not add a scrubby. I took the plunge and decided to follow you and made them in Tunisian. It was challenging to begin, but it came out alright. It is not the most fun to work with, but it is fun seeing the creations... So yes, I will make up a few and see how they're received. Thanks Toni.
This is really interesting. You are bringing up so many factors when choosing a yarn that I've never considered. I'm not as naive as when I first started when I thought any yarn would work for any project I just need to pick a fun color yay LOL. My favorite happy mistake is picking out a heathered 100% acrylic worsted weight for a winter sweater. It turns out to be the warmest sweater I've ever owned and I wear it nonstop in the winter. Time to make another one! But there's been plenty of accidents and I'm so happy to learn from you on how to be more discerning. But now I have a huge yearning to go to Michael's after work for more yarn. Gah!
These reviews are so helpful, as an intermediate crocheter who’s finally able to branch into hooks that aren’t metal, the info on which hook works best is great!
Oooh I've been curious about the Fo Mo. This really helped me see what it's like - so glad to have a synthetic version for those of us with allergies to animal fibers.
TL, thank for this series. I am looking forward to getting your book. The one thing that became glaringly clear to me in this series is that there is more to yarn than I have ever given (or had time to give) thoughts to. Perhaps, you could do another book on the different yarns and what crochet hooks, stitches, and patterns that suit each best. I now want to learn more because of you. Crocheting was just a hobby, I got a lot of joy from making blankets for those I love. This year I want to start making other things and to be honest, I get a little stuck. You are such a pleasure to watch, you truly love doing this, it shows and it is infectious! Now I want to take it to the next level. Thank you for putting out such informative and easy to understand videos. The knowledge you have in your craft is obvious and it has inspired me to learn more.
I think this is the best yarn review series on UA-cam ❤️🥰. I want every single one on those Landscapes colorways!! Thanks again for an amazing review 😘
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, I know what to be interested in the wool and the gang line. Going shopping will be much easier. Thank you for your wise advice.
That smell is the silk. I’ve passed by booths at festivals that sold woven silk scarves that look more like raw silk. The smell is UNREAL and you won’t ever forget it.
Yeessss! I was hoping for a yarn snob review when I saw you unbox these on insta! I'm very excited even though I don't live in the US and we don't have Lion Brand, lol. Especially the soak and scrub I was intrigued about, it looks like it has so much potential. I saw a Rico booklet that used their Creative Bubble yarn to make little animal and coral shaped scrubbies for bath time play and wash fun! I wonder if you could do that with those scrubby yarns as well. It would be even better if the nylon was recycled ocean plastic so we don't creative even more plastic soup...
Thank you so much Toni⚘️ for your reviews of these yarns and others! I get soooo much out of them! I appreciate the time you put into them and take to answer the questions we would normally think of to ask about! Thank you bunches! 🌸🌼🌷💕
Love the colors in Landscape Breeze, clicked on the link to Lion Brand and it's all sold out! Hopefully, they will restock soon. Thanks for showcasing these beautiful yarns. So many lovely yarns, so little time.

Toni I love this series! You single-handedly taught me that there is more to yarn than worsted weight acrylic, and for that I will always be grateful lol
Saaaaame. But I have so much worsted acrylic to go thru 😂
@@elizabethprimeau3286 every time I start looking at yarn, I have to remind myself that I have PLENTY that I need to work through before I get more. I hate clutter and am pretty minimalist… but yarn is kryptonite 🙃
My budget needs those acrylic economical size options though lol 😆
Emma, I agree. I have never given much thought beyond color, texture, and size. This thought me I need to learn more about yarns and threads more beyond the basics.
For the smell, I've not tried it, but I've heard that you can stuff those smaller skeins into a sock and wash and dry it.
The silk they have in "A Touch of Silk" looks to be silk noil, those tweedy bits in the yarn give it away. Silk noil is the shorter fiber that is left over from making silk fabric so it doesn't have the soft and shiny quality like the pulled silk you normally think of. It has a bumpy texture and feels a bit more like cotton in texture. Landscape breeze is so gorgeous, thanks for sharing these!
Wow, I had no idea! I'll have to look more into silk noil. Thanks for sharing that with me 💕
Yes, it is like Scheepjes “secret garden” yarn (which comes in 50g amounts)
Yes, agree on the silk noil comments on te feel/texture. The description of the smell also fits against silk noil.
@@TLYarnCrafts That silk noil is probably where the smell comes from. I have several skeins of 100% silk noil yarn, and they all have that strange smell.

The danger of watching your videos about yarn is that I must buy more yarn! Thank you for your honesty and your personality! 💜
I keep saying "I don't have room for more yarn. I can't afford more yarn!"
Exactly same !! I ordered the lazy days
Wow, as a hand spinner I am very impressed with your critique of the average/ or above average retail yarn. I've just rolled a one pound ball of yarn mixed with scrapes of everything. Merino, Jacob, finland, hand dyed, hand spun, art yarn , nylon, mohair acrilic. Every random yarn you could think of in a cornucopia of textures and colors.

Thanks! I am poor but I wanted to express my appreciation for your amazing channel. It’s EVERYTHING 🔥🔥🔥 If this is not enough for a coffee, but that sweet puddy tat of yours could have a little kitty snack bag on me 🥰
One of these days I will be able to jump in and stitch instead of just watching. I love your personality.
Toni, I love your yarn reviews. I appreciate that you do a nice swatch and recommend an appropriate hook type. I like how indepth you discuss the yarn pros and cons. So many yarn reviews just show the yarn just show the yarn and give stats. I want to see yarn worked up to better understand how to appropriately select yarns for my projects. Thank you for your reviews..you are my go to person for all things crochet.
Love, love your video’s. You are delightful. Your yarn reviews are are very through, and very educational. Thank you for all the great information. I love how you honestly describe the yearn. Blessings to you my dear friend.
So colors in the landscape are so beautiful..I can see myself not putting it down. See the colors change is truly exciting for me.
🧶💖
What a fun and informative review! ( I also found myself reading your shirt over and over, and taking deep breaths. I guess I really needed to de-stress! 😀) I really want to try the Landscape Breeze and the Lazy Days. Thank you!
The Landscape Breeze is so beautiful. I could just sit and look at those colors for hours.
You always do a great job at making the yarn sound poetic and i love your voice. Please review all yarns available on the planet 😂
New yarn review! I look forward to seeing your yarn reviews, it makes my day :D
Just ordered several skeins of the Lazy Days yarn. Exactly what I’ve been looking for for several purse/tote projects. Super excited! Thanks for sharing!!!
Toni thank you so much. It is wonderful to sit and smile with you and enjoy your honesty. A beautiful start to my Saturday UA-cam watching
Great review, Toni! Thank you.
Double checked the Landscapes Breeze - it's got 20% wool, not cotton. I'm trying to find non-wool colorful options for my daughter. Off to look for another yarn.
Love how you review yarns- from softness, colour range, workability, price etc. Many thanks!
If you find any, let me know. Wool has the BEST color options but I don’t typically need or want wool for the types of projects I normally make. It’s a struggle!
I’m allergic to wool and want my yarn to be machine washable and dryable.
Yes, I know this video is old but I'm here to add my .3¢. I purchased the Stitch Soak Scrub. I make bath and body products and I figured your review was good, I should give it a try. I offer crochet clothes, so why not add a scrubby. I took the plunge and decided to follow you and made them in Tunisian. It was challenging to begin, but it came out alright. It is not the most fun to work with, but it is fun seeing the creations... So yes, I will make up a few and see how they're received. Thanks Toni.
This is really interesting. You are bringing up so many factors when choosing a yarn that I've never considered. I'm not as naive as when I first started when I thought any yarn would work for any project I just need to pick a fun color yay LOL. My favorite happy mistake is picking out a heathered 100% acrylic worsted weight for a winter sweater. It turns out to be the warmest sweater I've ever owned and I wear it nonstop in the winter. Time to make another one! But there's been plenty of accidents and I'm so happy to learn from you on how to be more discerning. But now I have a huge yearning to go to Michael's after work for more yarn. Gah!
I love your reviews! I’m a knitter, and go by your word as gospel, for yarn. I thank you so much!
i just came across your UA-cam channel and I am so sad I didn't find it SOONER!!!
I like the yarns you tested. I don't know my favorite. The scribe yarn looks interesting. Can't wait to try it.
I loved round reaction to the touch of silk yarn snel😂
These reviews are so helpful, as an intermediate crocheter who’s finally able to branch into hooks that aren’t metal, the info on which hook works best is great!
Toni thank you for your review. Love seeing new yarn, I sure like what I saw.
Enjoy your in depth reviews. Thank you! 😎 🌻
I love your yarn reviews. You're so thorough and honest. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Great video so informative, loving the landscapes breeze works up so pretty. I'm a sucker for that kind of yarn too. All the best from South Wales UK
Thanks Toni! I love your yarn snob reviews! X
Oooh I've been curious about the Fo Mo. This really helped me see what it's like - so glad to have a synthetic version for those of us with allergies to animal fibers.
TL, thank for this series. I am looking forward to getting your book. The one thing that became glaringly clear to me in this series is that there is more to yarn than I have ever given (or had time to give) thoughts to. Perhaps, you could do another book on the different yarns and what crochet hooks, stitches, and patterns that suit each best. I now want to learn more because of you. Crocheting was just a hobby, I got a lot of joy from making blankets for those I love. This year I want to start making other things and to be honest, I get a little stuck. You are such a pleasure to watch, you truly love doing this, it shows and it is infectious! Now I want to take it to the next level. Thank you for putting out such informative and easy to understand videos. The knowledge you have in your craft is obvious and it has inspired me to learn more.
I think this is the best yarn review series on UA-cam ❤️🥰. I want every single one on those Landscapes colorways!! Thanks again for an amazing review 😘
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, I know what to be interested in the wool and the gang line. Going shopping will be much easier. Thank you for your wise advice.
Thanks! I love your tutorials and your yarn reviews! Have made several versions of your Daphne Afgan as gifts and they've all been a hit.
Thank you for your review of these yarns and your suggestions for projects.
I give your reviews 10 out of 10 for interest, knowledge, information and vocabulary. Thank you.
That smell is the silk. I’ve passed by booths at festivals that sold woven silk scarves that look more like raw silk. The smell is UNREAL and you won’t ever forget it.
You do GREAT reviews. When I find a new yarn, I go directly to you to decide whether to buy. Thanks for sharing your talent.🙋
I can sit and watch your videos for HOURS ❤
Outstanding video, nobody does yarn reviews better! Very grateful❤️
Yeessss! I was hoping for a yarn snob review when I saw you unbox these on insta! I'm very excited even though I don't live in the US and we don't have Lion Brand, lol. Especially the soak and scrub I was intrigued about, it looks like it has so much potential. I saw a Rico booklet that used their Creative Bubble yarn to make little animal and coral shaped scrubbies for bath time play and wash fun! I wonder if you could do that with those scrubby yarns as well. It would be even better if the nylon was recycled ocean plastic so we don't creative even more plastic soup...
I would love a dedicated video on all the different types of natural-fiber yarns.
Thank you so much Toni⚘️ for your reviews of these yarns and others! I get soooo much out of them! I appreciate the time you put into them and take to answer the questions we would normally think of to ask about! Thank you bunches! 🌸🌼🌷💕
I’m new here, but I’m IN LOVE 😍 I’d love to see a Yarn Bee review- I feel like I can trust your opinion ☺️
Love your series, always like knowing other crafters reviews on yarn.
Love the colors in Landscape Breeze, clicked on the link to Lion Brand and it's all sold out! Hopefully, they will restock soon. Thanks for showcasing these beautiful yarns. So many lovely yarns, so little time.
