Hey! You're amazing, I love your personality and the way you talk! The only little advice for you would be to try and look directly into the lense of your camera, it helps you to get closer to your audience and it makes them feel you really are talking to them in person. Keep up the good work and well done!

I'm sorry, but some of your pro points are just not true. Acrylic yarn is the opposite of environmental friendly. It's plastic, so made from resources that won't come back. It will also never biodegrade unlike animal or plant fibers. The pilling is adding micro plastic. And as with every plastic fiber, the only breathable part is the air between the stitches, not the fiber. I don't want to shame anyone for using acrylic, choose whatever yarn suits you, your budget and so on. But please don't tell things that are just not true

Thank you for the feedback. As stated in the video, I don’t know about the environment aspect which is why I said that clearly. ❤️

@@simplymadebyhand I'm not trying to argue, but you did say in the transcript "...it's synthetic so people consider it more environment friendly." Acrylic yarn is made of fossil fuels, so you might have misunderstood the impact of acrylic yarn on the environment. I hope that you will consider revising your video to be more accurate!

Hi! I'm an amigurumi maker I like to work with 100% cotton. I know some people use acrylics because of the stretchiness, to avoid hand pain ☺️

In my opinion they're not bad but theyre also not that super comfortable to wear. It depends on the company too ❤❤

[@simplymadebyhand]

@@YaseminDIY I agree

I think you are confusing fuzziness with pilling, pilling usually occurs after washing. Also you should look into how acrylic yarn is made before making such a video, nothing against acrylic yarn, my stash is mainly acrylic. 😊

Looking at the camera would improve how much we can enjoy your videos. ❤
