Thanks Glenda and Cody for taking us along on your shopping trip, when I need to do more exercise I take a trip to my local yarn store and spend hours walking around looking at all the yarn they have, if your anything like me Glenda you'll be worn out just from yarn buying, love the rainbow coloured yarn you picked up, thanks for everything and you and your family stay well and please give your mam my best wishes.
Your grandson is very observant! It’s great that he helps you. An Ollie’s is coming later this summer close to where I live so I am excited that I will be able to check them out.😊
Thanks for taking us along with you. My Ollie’s in NY, only has a couple different yarns, no where near the variety of your Ollie’s. Have a wonderful day.😊
Thanks for taking us along, I enjoy seeing g the different stores there. We don't have an Ollie's here, some pretty good yarn sales Take Care, Blessings 💕
We don't have an Ollie's but do have a Big Lots. I've never thought about checking them out but now I'll have to. There is a thrift store that always seems to have a lot of crochet items. I've bought throws there before and frogged them when I couldn't buy yarn. You have to catch them at the right time to be open. Thanks for sharing and thanks Cody for telling us how to pronounce that weird word.
My Ollie's had three of that same rainbow yarn, but it was a color block yarn and I didn't want to have to color control it to get the multi out of it. That store had some great other yarn, thanks for sharing Glenda!
Thank you! I’ve never been to Ollie’s but there’s one in the city and I’ll check it out when I’m next in town! By the way, “hygge” (hooga) basically means to enjoy life’s quiet pleasures 😁
Thanks! I enjoyed the Cody and Gramma shopping trip as always. I love that your grandson honors his Gramma by being such a help to her and spending time with her! Funny my Ollies in KY, has a whole bunch of light blue RHSS too. They must have bought a whole shipping container full. haha. But I am encouraged to make another trip soon, to see if their yarn stock has increased since I was there about a month ago. I also have a 15% off total purchase coupon I've been waiting to use.
I like the rainbow yarn you got, I have never seen that colorway before in Red Heart , pretty! I like the Caron Cakes too, nice colors. The Michael’s yarn was a good deal, the colors weren’t my favorite, but might make a nice hat. Enjoyed your yarn shopping! 😊
Awesome! Thanks for this video! I never think of going to discount stores to shop for yarn at the beginning of a project. An Ollie's recently opened up near us (I'm in Providence, Rhode Island) and Ocean State Job Lot usually has yarn as well as crafting books 😊
Good morning 🌞 you are very lucky to have cody❤. In new Jersey they just opened a store. They had no yarn and the store was a mess. Your store has lots of yarn😊😊
I went to my Ollies about a month ago and couldn’t believe the nice selection of yarn at such a good value. Of course I had to buy some.😊 I want to complement Cody on his filming talent. During the video there wasn’t any wobbling or shaking. The moving to read the labels was very smooth. Is he looking for a career in filming? Tell us more about him. What a gem of a grandson you have.
Feeling under the weather today, but I’ll soon be checking out my local Ollie’s. I’m interested in the bright orange, the Caron Cakes, and the rainbow that you picked up. Hopefully I’ll find some yarn books too.
Ohhh! I would love the amigurumi ones that make food. I am crocheting food for kids in foster care and a children's hospital. Sadly, no fun outlets like this.
I've never seen yarn at my Ollie's. Hmmmmm...need to stop there on my way out later just in case. Another store to keep an eye on. That heat wave sounds great as I knit hats for charity.
My Ollie's up I80 from you in Clearfield is Just about out of yarn except for the blue Super Saver. They still have cases of it. Those Caron cakes with the orange and purples work up so nice. I did a big blanket in it. I have a cat and dachsund that run my quality control and they both think it turned out great too. You and Cody have the best shopping trips!
Thank you for sharing. We do not have an Ollie's near Ft Worth, Texas. One person told me that there is one near Tyler, Texas, but that is a good three hour drive. Just wish there was one closer. Looks like they have some very good prices on a lot of good yarn.
Most of those yarns are the yarns that were at my Ollie's last fall and have been long gone for months and months. I'm guessing this location doesn't get a lot of yarn shoppers.
I went to an Ollie's for the first time in late April (a new location in Champaign, IL), and made a point of looking for what yarn they had. All the yarn they had was either Caron One Pounder in a gold color or RHSS Jumbo skeins in a light blue. Didn't spot any other crochet supplies or pattern books, but the prices on the yarn were good. I had shopped at Costco first, but wish I had gone to Ollie's first, as Ollie's had grocery items (like K-cups) in more reasonably-sized packages than did Costco.
Hi Glenda. Goodness! That blue yarn is everywhere and doesn't seem to be selling. Here in NePa, we were in Ollies last week ( I had a coupon!), we didn't have very many options. I'm hoping they will get a new shipment soon.
That's some nice yarn. I bought a bunch of the heat wave yarn around Christmas. I made a hat with it. Unfortunately, for some reason, there was something in it that made my hands hurt and had a weird feeling on them, too. I returned all that I hadn't used. They said other people returned it with the same complaints. I wish I had some extra money to go back and buy some of the Caron cakes. Thanks for the heads-up, both of you. I'm surprised that I didn't see you grab some of the cakes. 😇🙂
I called my Ollie's and they said they did have some yarn in a back corner of the store. I checked it out and our prices are much higher than yours. Sadly I didn't buy any yarn from them.
@CreativeGrandma I subscribed to BOTH "Crochet" and "Crochet World" magazines. I just got a letter that "Crochet" magazine doesn't have enough subscribers so they are adding the 2 Year Subscription I had paid for onto my "Crochet World" subscription by Extending it.
Don't have Ollie's near me. But I did walk around our toys r us with my daughter before it closed... I could barely hold it together.once a toys r us kid always a toys r us kid.
We do not have an Ollies here where I live, but that does not mean I am not keen to try out new yarns for projects. As a Danish native, I know what "Hygge" means, and I do believe the Red Heart "Hygge" yarn fits the meaning of the word. So what is Hygge? In brief, hygge is about taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself - to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures.
My ollies does not have a lot of yarn just 2 boxes and one color in each box. We have another one about 35 mins away and they have tons of yarn will have to visit that store
Wonder what was going on with Red Heart and all the light blue? My Ollie’s has no other yarn but the RH light blue, but they have a TON of it. Sounds like most Ollie’s have a lot of this yarn.
My Ollie's always has old Michael's yarn. It seems like Ollie's and Michael's must have a deal going where Ollie's buys Michael's overstock. I love going in my Ollie's to dig for Caron cakes! Lol when they are $12.99 retail now, I'll wait till Ollie's gets them and pay $4.99. unless it is a color I really want or need.
Your selection is pretty much the same as our local stores have had for the last 6 months. We bought our store out of most of the worsted weight and fine weight yarns. They still have the novelty yarns in stock but our store managers have send Ollie's is just selling out what they currently have and then not getting anything new.
Never heard of Ollies. 1.3 minutes into your video, looked up Ollies, discovered 1 was 45 minutes away. Immediately got dressed and started to head out the door. I have been influence. Sorry, will watch rest of your vid when I get back from Ollies.
I love Ollie’s…but…I got lot of my yarn from them for $1.99. With my discounts,,,,,all Ollies is different. I stocked up by the BOX loads!! Vacuume sealed… and put away for future projects. NOW when I go to pick up yarn,,it’s a bit more. BIT I love the good yarns when I can use my coupons doe further discounts.
Mine doesn’t either. My Ollies doesn’t carry much yarn. I did buy what they had last time I was there. I stop in to check weekly. The manager said they just don’t get sent many yarns 🤷🏽♀️
I never even thought to look at Ollies for yarn. Thanks!
Cody is the best. Please tell him for me. Such a great person to take you to all your favorite stores. I love your channel. Thank you for sharing,
Thank you for taking us along to your Ollie’s. They do have a good amount of yarn there. I’m glad you found the rainbow yarn. 💜🙏🏻
❤ your tour I had been wondering what was in that store. Now I have an adventure to take at store 20 minutes from my home.
Thanks Glenda and Cody for taking us along on your shopping trip, when I need to do more exercise I take a trip to my local yarn store and spend hours walking around looking at all the yarn they have, if your anything like me Glenda you'll be worn out just from yarn buying, love the rainbow coloured yarn you picked up, thanks for everything and you and your family stay well and please give your mam my best wishes.

It's great you have a grandson to take you around. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Glenda and Cody for the trip to Ollie's.
Cody is a gem!
I’m so happy you found something you like. Those colors are part of my favorite colors plus RH is one of my favorite yarns.
I will have to check out my Ollies for new yarn . Thank you , Glenda and Cody . Love going shopping with you 2 . Love and Hugs .
Thanks for taking us along with you. My Ollie’s in NY, only has a couple different yarns, no where near the variety of your Ollie’s. Have a wonderful day.😊
Shout out for Cody for being such a wonderful grandson to you!

Hi Glendaand Cody. Thanks for taking us shopping with you. I will have to check and see if there's any Ollie's close to me.
Thanks for bringing us along Glenda and Cody! Theres no Ollie's in my state as far as i know..lol..dang
Hi Glenda, & Cody, thanks for tour.😊
Hi Glenda and Cody. Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!😊❤

Thanks for the tour Glenda and Cody! Have a wonderful day!
Love the yarns!
We don't have Ollie's in Minnesota, darn!
Thank you! And hats off to the Ollie personnel that cut up all those boxes.
My Ollie's had three of that same rainbow yarn, but it was a color block yarn and I didn't want to have to color control it to get the multi out of it. That store had some great other yarn, thanks for sharing Glenda!

I love watching your local shopping videos because we shop at the exact same stores! I always know where to go around here! lol
Awesome! Thanks for this video! I never think of going to discount stores to shop for yarn at the beginning of a project. An Ollie's recently opened up near us (I'm in Providence, Rhode Island) and Ocean State Job Lot usually has yarn as well as crafting books 😊
Thank you for sharing, I have an Ollie's and I will have to check it out now.
Good morning 🌞 you are very lucky to have cody❤. In new Jersey they just opened a store. They had no yarn and the store was a mess. Your store has lots of yarn😊😊
Our Ollies has lots of the blue as well. I got some black yarn with gold thread which will make a beautiful shawl.
I went to my Ollies about a month ago and couldn’t believe the nice selection of yarn at such a good value. Of course I had to buy some.😊

Two of my local Ollie's has a ton of the blue....LOL. I love the colorful yarn you picked up.
Good afternoon Glenda I cannot wait to see what you find at Ollie's I don't think there are any Ollie's in Philadelphia Racine and anyway.
Ohhh! I would love the amigurumi ones that make food. I am crocheting food for kids in foster care and a children's hospital. Sadly, no fun outlets like this.
I have to go to ollies
That's a nice variety of yarn. My local store only had about 3 varieties. Mine used to be a Toys R Us too.
I've never seen yarn at my Ollie's. Hmmmmm...need to stop there on my way out later just in case. Another store to keep an eye on. That heat wave sounds great as I knit hats for charity.
Thank you I will have to go back to my Ollie's check it out. They only had orange and blue by Red Heart.
My Ollie's up I80 from you in Clearfield is Just about out of yarn except for the blue Super Saver. They still have cases of it. Those Caron cakes with the orange and purples work up so nice. I did a big blanket in it. I have a cat and dachsund that run my quality control and they both think it turned out great too. You and Cody have the best shopping trips!
Mine has SO MUCH of the blue, at least 300-400 skeins. They're probably going to have to discount it to like a dollar if they want to get rid of it.
Thank you for sharing. We do not have an Ollie's near Ft Worth, Texas. One person told me that there is one near Tyler, Texas, but that is a good three hour drive. Just wish there was one closer. Looks like they have some very good prices on a lot of good yarn.

I'm guessing this location doesn't get a lot of yarn shoppers.
That blue is also in my Ollie's! Tons of it!
I love the color you bought
Whenever I go to Ollie's they never have any yarn 🤷🏼♀️ have a wonderful day/night 🤗💖
I went to an Ollie's for the first time in late April (a new location in Champaign, IL), and made a point of looking for what yarn they had.

I discovered there is an Ollie's by my job. I need to check them out sometime.
I'm super jealous about you finding crochet books often.
I've rarely seen crochet books there. I see a bunch of knitting books but not crochet.
Very good deal on those Caron Cakes...that color has been discontinued for quite awhile now.
Red heart rainbow is pretty. The day I went to Ollie’s all they had was loopy yarn. Hit and miss I guess.
Hi Glenda. Goodness! That blue yarn is everywhere and doesn't seem to be selling. Here in NePa, we were in Ollies last week ( I had a coupon!), we didn't have very many options. I'm hoping they will get a new shipment soon.

Our Ollie's only has lots of the Red Heart in the same color of blue and that loopy yarn.
I wish the Ollies near me was that organized
Looks like a nice store. I would rack up on the yarn.😊No Ollies in CA
Don't have Ollie's near me. But I did walk around our toys r us with my daughter before it closed... I could barely hold it together.once a toys r us kid always a toys r us kid.
My Ollie's was loaded the first time the yarn showed up.
If we had an Ollie’s I’d check it out 😁!
Fun video.
Hi, that's a good variety of yarn there compared to Ollie's Lancaster PA
We do not have an Ollies here where I live, but that does not mean I am not keen to try out new yarns for projects.

Glenda where is this Ollie’s? Ours never ever has anything like this!
My ollies does not have a lot of yarn just 2 boxes and one color in each box. We have another one about 35 mins away and they have tons of yarn will have to visit that store

Our Ollie's store was once a toys r us, but they don't have a large selection of yarn, just that blue yarn.
My Ollie’s rarely gets yarn & when they do it’s generally one type in all the same color.
My Ollie's always has old Michael's yarn. It seems like Ollie's and Michael's must have a deal going where Ollie's buys Michael's overstock. I love going in my Ollie's to dig for Caron cakes!

My Ollies in Florida seldom has any yarn. I have to have a lotta light to crochet black yarn.
We don’t have a Ollie’s in my state, wish we did.
We don't have them either. Bummer!
I wish we had an Ollies here in California
I wish we had Ollie’s
All we have at ours is the blue lots and lots of blue.
I love Ollie’s…but…I got lot of my yarn from them for $1.99. With my discounts,,,,,all Ollies is different. I stocked up by the BOX loads!! Vacuume sealed… and put away for future projects. NOW when I go to pick up yarn,,it’s a bit more. BIT I love the good yarns when I can use my coupons doe further discounts.
If the blue is the same as our Ollies, It's called blue bell. Yours has more yarn
I need to get to Ollie's, I have a 15% off total purchase coupon to use
Curious, is bargain outlet, different than the other Ollies?
Does Ollie’s ship to people
No Ollie's in SW Missouri.
How do you figure out how much yarn you need for projects?
I have yet to find yarn at our ollies
P.s. Chic is pronounced like "sheek" so "sheek sheep" :)
Chic is French. It means "stylish" or "fashionable"
What is color block?
Do make blanket?
Does N.C. Have an ollies
Our Ollies doesn't have nearly that amount of yarn
My ollies does not have no where near what that one does.
Mine doesn’t either. My Ollies doesn’t carry much yarn. I did buy what they had last time I was there. I stop in to check weekly. The manager said they just don’t get sent many yarns 🤷🏽♀️
Location please
We don't have a Ollie's here
My Ollie’s is small. No yarn
You only mention ounces no yards
