As someone with a beginning stash and limited colors this is huge!
Has anyone any experience with this yarn? I am looking for super bulky 100% wool yarn and happened upon it. I am planning to crochet a hand warmer muff. What I really want to know is, is it soft/not itchy? Is it easy to work with and does it split much? Thanks!
Hello,
Last Monday I won hobbii bingo, but I never got an email from hobbii. I tried to contact them but they're ghosting me... I am sure that I won because I screenshotted my card right before winning and then my first name and initial was showing on the screen (which I also screenshotted). Has anyone had that issue before? If so how did you get your prize?
I think i have a solid 3 more flower squares to make before it collapses. EVERYONE PLACE YOUR BETS
So I told my husband about the stuff going on with Joanns and that I am concerned that they may really go out of business. Told him I wanted to go today and get some yarn (even though I really don't need it). He said "go buy the store out." He isn't feeling well, so I took the baby and picked my mom up. We had a blast going through what's left (My Joanns was lokking a little rough today). Baby and Mamaw picked out yarn for their next presents and I grabbed some basic colors that I use a lot.
Sent him this pic at checkout and his only response was "I thought it would be more." This man is making me really think I need to go back 😂
I usually do my best to support my LYS, but I absolutely have to swoop in on this sale. I’m buying online due to living quite far from a Joann’s, and I have never so much as touched most of these yarns. I’m mostly looking for yarn for my knitting projects, but may also swoop up some crochet stuff. Not a fan of cotton, but happy with most other yarn types for my garments and home accessories.
What are y’all’s favorite yarns from Joann’s, and what projects do you use them for?
Thanks!!
That is all t-shirt yarn.
i’ve never seen it sold anywhere else and it’s my favorite… if joann is truly going out of business then i’ll need to find an alternative source for it.
I finally figured out what yarn an old project of mine used but it looks like it’s been discontinued? It was the Sweet Snuggles Striped Yarn in the shade primrose and I can’t find it anywhere. Anyone know of a yarn that has a similar color and texture?
I'm trying to order yarn from Premier, and I am getting a message that pops up when I try to pay: "Your order total has changed. Review and try again." I've ordered from them before and have never seen this. The only difference is that I moved overseas, but they offer overseas shipping, so I don't know if that's the issue. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you!
I'm working on a crochet sweater that calls for 4 weight yarn, but I have a 5 weight I've been dying to use for a sweater. Will it take more or less 5 weight to complete the project?
I decided to start crocheting again after 10 years. Realized too late that I’m going to need more of this yarn and I have no clue where it’s from or what brand it is. Any one recognize it?
More affordable yarn may get harder to find state-side with the news of a possible Joann fabrics bankruptcy. Any suggestions on online alternatives/brands would be appreciated.
So, i want to make those cute soft amigurumy plushies made of plush texture fabric. But I also want to not use plastic/polyester stuff. I want these things to actually be eco friendly/sustainable, but ive barely found any kind of yarn like that at all, let alone in online stores in europe. (Yeah outer continent stores will be too pricey for me) I've found Maurice Brassard cotton chenille so far, I just have to find a european store that sells them so i dont have to pay a fortune for shipping. Its thin but I can just double up the yarn. But if anyone has any other reccomendations, please let me know. Also, I will tolerate recycled polyester yarn recomendations too. I also need a place to buy natural stuffing in bulk. I have no allergies so feel free to recommend anything
Hi all! I've been hunting for a yarn that feels buttery soft but won't make me itch. It's not really a specific material really as I've made things with all diffrent types of yarn with out problems but right now I'm looking to make myself two blankets. I would especially like help from any others who have sensory issues as most of it is due to sensory issues.
I was crocheting one out of some lovely fuzzy chenille yarn but when I put it on my bare lap, I broke out badly.
I'm wanting to make a thicker winter blanket and thinner lighter summer blanket. For the winter blanket I'm open to just about any yarn suggestions except wool, rabbit fur or alpaca yarns as I'm legitimately allergic to those.
For the lighter summer blanket I'm thinking something much thinner like loops and threads silky soft which I'm currently considering useing for it. I believe the Weight is light 3.
Doesn't have to be the exact same weight or anything just similar. It does need to have a wide range of colors as this is just for me so it'll probably be mostly black.
My Friday evening relaxation. Some hate it ... Some love it. Disentangling helps me relax.
Plus a curious puppy. Ended up buying my warmer-weather supply in the depths of winter after hearing Joann might go under. Lots of cotton and superwash wool!
Anybody know what’s going on with Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran yarn? I was knitting a sweater with it, with only the sleeves left to go. I need about 2 more balls to feel comfortable finishing the sweater, but the color I used has been out of stock for months!!! Each time I go to check the stock on LoveCrafts more and more shades are out of stock. Anybody have any insights on what’s happening or where I can get 2 more balls of the shade Ecru (101)?
