To keep up with the scrunchie demand, maybe you can continue with your Vlogmas goal of 1 skein a day. You could also set aside specific days you only work on scrunchies. Because you are moving towards drop based inventory rather than on demand, you could also do specific colors. Like February is Hot Hot Pink and safety yellow only or something. Then you can control exactly what you spend time on without being overwhelmed with so many options.
I mean it makes sense to buy yarn you use for 4+ products on such a sale. I do think you’ll have to rearrange for more space for your staple yarns eventually (lily sugar n cream and juicy couture) also kinda excited for a yarn haul not gonna lie.
When you held up the hat pinks, immediately my mind went to pairing it with a cream or white. Loving this change of pace for you going back and forth between orders and the drop. Hoping this feels more freeing and creative for you!
Accountant here! Joann is owned by private equity which basically means that there is a group that owns them and barks orders from above about efficiency, profit margin, etc. Most businesses sell to private equity because they are having trouble generating income internally. I’m no genie but I predict they’re using the bankruptcy to get some debt off their books and help them “start fresher.” Long story short I don’t see them ever going away just trying to become more profitable 😊
If you want to keep a good flow of scrunchies like you have been you could do one skein of juicy a day like you were doing vlogmas that way as your clearing bins out or getting low on them like with safety yellow and hot hot pink they would also be getting refilled
I usually watch your videos when I’m laying in bed, trying to put my daughter to sleep. I put on any video of yours and she’s out cold before the video is over. You have such a calm energy, I think that’s what does her in lol, but I enjoy the video and toddler snuggles for 30 minutes
Maybe you should have a challenge to clear down all of the yarn in the storage unit behind you so you can store your juicy couture and lily sugar and creme there instead. Then you have space to buy more of the yarn you usually use 😉
Here in Canada I bought $300 worth of LSnC a few weeks ago at 40% off and free shipping. Great business move Kelsie because once those tariffs start with how many times that cotton goes from USA to Cdn to be manufactured then back to USA those prices are going to be bananas! I'd buy up more if you can.
You could always make hats that only have the striping in the middle section when running low on one of the colours instead of the entire hat being striped. I think that would still be super cute 🩷
The mystery bag is beautiful, I am loving the matching solid straps you have been doing. Also, it's so satisfying seeing you pack scrunchie orders with stock already done in your bins. 🥰
Big twist is my favorite value acrylic yarn. I live 5 minutes away from Michael's but I'd rather drive 15 minutes to Joanns. Hopefully someone comes in and saves the day
lol I live 5 mins from a Michael’s and 15 from Joanns too 😂 I love lion brand, big twist, and k + c. From hobby lobby I get I love this cotton for granny stitch dresses. Michael’s doesn’t have any of my staples.
You run a business, so technically, it would be poor business if you DIDN'T make an exception for your yarn ban! Haha we adore you! ❤ love your videos as always!
I worry about Joann too. I’m currently making a sweater with the Big Twist Supernova yarn and I love it. I was debating ordering a bunch in different colors just to have a stock of it. And the Juicy Couture yarn. I also have been making scrunchies and sell them at my work. The Joann closest to me already closed so now I have to drive about half an hour to get to one
I have a challenge. What you ordered on sale you have to use it all up for February's shop update/product drop :) full price yarn ban....discount yarn buy :D
Usually a silent watching on my tv. I’ve been binge watching all of your vlogs, I’m on maternity leave little one is 5 months old nearly I’ve suffered a bit with postnatal depression but been picking up my crocheting to keep me busy and I was gifted a Sentro from Xmas as I struggle with my hands for knitting. Even plucked up the courage to do some markets and crafts fairs, I’m in the UK ❤️xxx
I think that's one of my favorite bag colors so far! What about making some crop tops in the color strawberry? That would be good for valentine's day for people that live in a warm climate.
I was thinking about that with Juicy Couture yarns cause I do like them too and they run great sales on them and cotton yarns too. I hope someone does buy them and restructure the store with better stocking etc.
❤Outstanding job of giving credit to the creator of this pattern!!! I had just started this project when I found your video, and,I love it already. I subscribed to support you, and thanks for sharing your ideas, really like them. ❤❤❤
Gorgeous bucket hat! Happy Valentine’s Day pre-sale! Love that you’re using up all your donated yarn too 🎉 interesting concoctions when you double strand.
I made a bet with my crochet buddy if you will not buy more yarn since you were on a yarn barn....I won🎉but am still happy you made a smart business move by buying them,love you kelsie
was bingeing all ur vlogs from last year and i'm on "how much can i make a granny bucket hat" vids, and u said on that vid that ur gonna compile all ur "how much can i make _ in one day" in one video now that it's 2025 now (sorry if there's wrong grammar hehe) just want to remind u of that hehe, i will definitely watch that :))
No way can you pass a great deal on the Lily's like that. Fantastic business planning. My lys is closing, and I have been stocking up on their cottons. Sad to see them go. Love the lighter pinks together. I have a market tomorrow. Thank you, Kelsie, for the company this evening
Please tell me youve seen episode 1 of season 2 of Severance!!! Its my favorite show and i was waiting for years for it to come back. And watching you and seeing that you and ces watched i got so excited!
I’m pretty sure the two hot hot pink scrunchies was mine, I got excited! Lol when you said not sparkly it gave me an idea to order some sparkly ones too, totally forgot that was an option! I ordered the scrunchies to match my “PassioKnit” hoodie it’s going to be so cute together 💕 I did pause the video to order the sparkly ones too!
Have you considered making a scrunchie in the same color every time you sell that color? Or making at least 4 every day just for stock? Only saying it because you put in so much effort during vlogmas to create scrunchie stock and its flying now!
I NEEEED to know what that gorgeous rainbow yarn is on the shelf behind you. I stare at it every video! It’s on in the cube next to your printer sitting right above a Peaches & Cream!
Kelsie~ I absolutely love this color combo for the mystery bag! Great choice! Do you follow the exact pattern for the bucket hats? I want to make some from my daughter and her friends.
I'm super nervous about Joanns, too. I buy most of my yarn there with an occasional exception on going to Michael's (I don't love Michael's, and I truly don't understand how they aren't going bankrupt instead.) And we also don't have a Hobby Lobby near me yet 🫠 I love all the Valentines pieces you've made! And I can't wait to see how the drops go for you instead ❤
Hey Kelsie no judgement here about the yarn purchase like you said it's a good business idea. 😊 I was wondering if you could do a video about pricing. (Im selling hats at a local shop and they have said my prices are to high) Ive been debating lowering the prices but then I wouldn't be breaking even or earning a small profit. Any advice would be amazing ❤
"The yarn ban is not that serious" I felt that in my soul 😆
I just need everyone to chill lol

Hey, you're a business woman and lily sugar and cream is a major part of that business. I think you made the right choice.
I agree. The Lilysugar and Juicycouture should be the exceptions to the ban. Especially if you need a color or it's on sale for a good price
Honestly loving the people who bought the Cosmo and Wanda scrunchies. It's iconic 💗💚
Just got out of surgery, your voice is so comforting, better than pain meds, thanks for the vlog
Hope you feel better!
I know we're strangers but I really hope the surgery went well and I wish you a full recovery ❤
I’m dealing with a similar situation and AGREE! Kelsie is VERY soothing for me, too! Speedy recovery! 🫶🏻
I hope they give you more meds😢
This is so sweet. All the best for a solid recovery.
I mean it makes sense to buy yarn you use for 4+ products on such a sale. I do think you’ll have to rearrange for more space for your staple yarns eventually (lily sugar n cream and juicy couture) also kinda excited for a yarn haul not gonna lie.
You should do a video where you use brands that aren't Juicy Couture or Lily Sugar and Creme to help use up the other yarn
When you held up the hat pinks, immediately my mind went to pairing it with a cream or white. Loving this change of pace for you going back and forth between orders and the drop. Hoping this feels more freeing and creative for you!

That was my thought too.
I hope not I love Joanna

What happens if Joann’s goes out of business no more juicy (which my Joann’s has none left and it’s a Joann’s super store)
@@lisaheld9826 allegedly it's just a restructuring like they did last March, so it should be fine
The light pink with the rose pink as a border would make a pretty pink bandana. Just a thought :)
Here in Canada I bought $300 worth of LSnC a few weeks ago at 40% off and free shipping. Great business move Kelsie because once those tariffs start with how many times that cotton goes from USA to Cdn to be manufactured then back to USA those prices are going to be bananas!

Good business discussions are good for your business!! $2.00 a skein is a steal!!! Good for you!
Big twist is my favorite value acrylic yarn. I live 5 minutes away from Michael's but I'd rather drive 15 minutes to Joanns. Hopefully someone comes in and saves the day

Mystery bags are beautiful, I like them even more than regular ones
Don't stress yourself, Kelsie!!
Thanks for a lovely vlog again, so happy to have them in mornings again 🩵
I have to say I am loving the straps being a different color/corresponding color of the bag it's beautiful and really make the bags pop!
I agree 👍 The one with the yellow strap was my favorite
Love that you saved that money on the yarn!!! I love buying more more more🤣🤣🤣
You run a business, so technically, it would be poor business if you DIDN'T make an exception for your yarn ban! Haha we adore you! ❤ love your videos as always!
If all us crocheters band together and buy Joann stock we can save them like GameStop
They have a buyer but the bankruptcy judge still has to approve the buyer.
I worry about Joann too. I’m currently making a sweater with the Big Twist Supernova yarn and I love it. I was debating ordering a bunch in different colors just to have a stock of it. And the Juicy Couture yarn. I also have been making scrunchies and sell them at my work. The Joann closest to me already closed so now I have to drive about half an hour to get to one
You can never go wrong with a sale. Anything that saves us money. Hope you’re having a great day.❤
When yarn you use all the time is on that great of a sale, you HAVE to buy it!!!
So satisfying to see you pull premade scrunchies from the bins. 😊
I have a challenge. What you ordered on sale you have to use it all up for February's shop update/product drop :)
full price yarn ban....discount yarn buy :D
Wake up everyone the queen has posted!!!!❤🎉
I'm awake! hehe
Usually a silent watching on my tv. I’ve been binge watching all of your vlogs, I’m on maternity leave little one is 5 months old nearly I’ve suffered a bit with postnatal depression but been picking up my crocheting to keep me busy and I was gifted a Sentro from Xmas as I struggle with my hands for knitting.

Aww, take care of yourself! Postnatal depression is no joke.
I think you made a smart business decision buying the yarn while it was on sale.
14:35 use white with them
I think that's one of my favorite bag colors so far! What about making some crop tops in the color strawberry? That would be good for valentine's day for people that live in a warm climate.
It seems that I opened TH-cam at the right time! I was looking for something to watch while I crochet 👀
I think you are smart to buy the yarn you use when you get a great deal. It is just good business. Keep up the good work. Love the pink hats.😊🧶😊
WHEW! I’m so glad you’re here! Have a great weekend, sweetie. Thanks for posting for all of us 😊🫶🏻
Thankyou for making the light pink hat. Love it❤
Good luck with your customs orders. Hope you can get several done over the weekend. Thank you Kelsie for your time
I was thinking about that with Juicy Couture yarns cause I do like them too and they run great sales on them and cotton yarns too. I hope someone does buy them and restructure the store with better stocking etc.
Happy Friday
Great way to buy yarn--on sale! Never need to apologize for sale yarn. Silly not to buy it when it's on sale when you know you will use it .
Wow you are very impressive with how many orders you get done
So excited to watch to watch this! :) 💖
Wish you have a wonderful day,Kelsie!
Thank you so much! 💖
❤Outstanding job of giving credit to the creator of this pattern!!! I had just started this project when I found your video, and,I love it already. I subscribed to support you, and thanks for sharing your ideas, really like them. ❤❤❤
Please show Terry more. He’s so precious!!
Happy Friday 🎉❤
Gorgeous bucket hat! Happy Valentine’s Day pre-sale! Love that you’re using up all your donated yarn too 🎉 interesting concoctions when you double strand.
The bag looks so beachy! I love it!
Love the custom market bag colours such an ocean vibe. Thank you for a relaxing vlog.
yay! new video!
Oh .. and that bag is amazing!!!
ooh definitely do the three color hat!
Cygnet yarns make Jellybaby Glitter. It looks similar to Juicy couture and I could introduce you to my yarn dealer 🤭
Happy friday🎉
I’m still waiting for another live of you and Ces playing the grocery game!
hey! good to see you again! have a great rest of the day and weekend!🥰🫂🧡🧡🧡
I made a bet with my crochet buddy if you will not buy more yarn since you were on a yarn barn....I won🎉but am still happy you made a smart business move by buying them,love you kelsie
Watching this while I work on my outfit for valentines day
Great choices today, everything well done. Like your bags. I made some to. I going to miss Joan’s stores. Thank you for sharing 😊
wait you went to pompeii?! That is so cool!
Happy Friday !
was bingeing all ur vlogs from last year and i'm on "how much can i make a granny bucket hat" vids, and u said on that vid that ur gonna compile all ur "how much can i make _ in one day" in one video now that it's 2025 now (sorry if there's wrong grammar hehe) just want to remind u of that hehe, i will definitely watch that :))
Hi, So enjoy watching your vlogs. Buying yarn you use regularly at those prices, Awesome! 🧶🫂
No way can you pass a great deal on the Lily's like that. Fantastic business planning. My lys is closing, and I have been stocking up on their cottons. Sad to see them go. Love the lighter pinks together. I have a market tomorrow. Thank you, Kelsie, for the company this evening
have a great weekend kelsie!
Hi I like watching your videos I like to crochet and knit to and sometimes I use a loom to knitting machines to 😊
Yes kelsie! Happy friday to you too ❤❤❤
Love watching you grow your business. Hello from Lake of the Ozarks!
As always thank you for the vlog!
I keep wanting to make bucket hats also!!
The colors u used for the coasters as a hat 👀🤠🥳😂
Please tell me youve seen episode 1 of season 2 of Severance!!! Its my favorite show and i was waiting for years for it to come back. And watching you and seeing that you and ces watched i got so excited!
A pink & white checkered hat or bag would be really cute!
hope you're doing well Kels! I'm starting a Spice of Life scrap blanket. Amazing as always! :D
Start the hat with the lights pink until you run out then finish with the darker pink.
I’m excited for this. I’m taking a well earned nap but I need my PassioKnit fix
My hubby and I loved the game, we're now playing Cult of the Lamb and it's very entertaining.
I’m pretty sure the two hot hot pink scrunchies was mine, I got excited! Lol when you said not sparkly it gave me an idea to order some sparkly ones too, totally forgot that was an option! I ordered the scrunchies to match my “PassioKnit” hoodie it’s going to be so cute together 💕 I did pause the video to order the sparkly ones too!
Could maybe use the rest of both pink cotton yarns with a white or a berry crush!
Have you considered making a scrunchie in the same color every time you sell that color? Or making at least 4 every day just for stock? Only saying it because you put in so much effort during vlogmas to create scrunchie stock and its flying now!
Yayyy incoming yarn haul. lol.
Can't wait to see the yarn haul ❤
I hope that some crafter has some daddy’s money and buys joann
It was me 🙋♀I saw the Yarnspirations clearance sale, the price of the Lily Sugar 'n Cream, and thought "Kelsie needs to know about this" 😅
A hero 😍
So talented 😍👍💖
That's how I view our yarn buying bans too 😅 I'm so upset about Joann though. There are a couple craft stores in the area but they are all struggling.
Do what you need to do. Hope you can find more places to buy Juicy Couture.
perfect timing💞
I NEEEED to know what that gorgeous rainbow yarn is on the shelf behind you. I stare at it every video!
It’s on in the cube next to your printer sitting right above a Peaches & Cream!
It might be big twist super nova yarn
I love your videos ❤
Hello my friend happy Friday how are you doing today I love you for a new video I enjoy watching play your game your friend Mr Erin ❤❤❤
Kelsie~ I absolutely love this color combo for the mystery bag! Great choice! Do you follow the exact pattern for the bucket hats? I want to make some from my daughter and her friends.
I'm super nervous about Joanns, too.

literally finishing the straps of my teal and kelp market bag while watching this
it’s so similar to yours omg
been looking forward to this!!
I don’t even wear hats but lemme go watch some bucket hat, and market bag tutorials 😆
Smart yarn buying move.👍
The elephant scene in that game... I still haven't recovered from it
Hey Kelsie no judgement here about the yarn purchase like you said it's a good business idea. 😊 I was wondering if you could do a video about pricing.
