What a fun day! I can't believe there are 7 beautiful shops all in driving distance from one another. I don't know of even one yarn shop near me! So glad you could do this with your Mom.
I didn't even realize we had that many this close!! It was such a great day with my mom!
Wow! You are your Mom's twin! What a fun day the two of you must have had. I certainly could have watched a longer video. I love seeing yarn studios/stores. I will have to find some locally to visit.
Thank you!! I've heard that my whole life!! And one of my daughters is my twin!! Strong genes!! 🧶🧶🧶
Hi Elise and Elise’s Mum
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us and I looked forward to hearing about your yarn haul.
I’m from Australia and I visited Auckland New Zealand a few years ago now and it is absolutely lovely and the animals coats are just so warm and fluffy - I did buy myself some gloves that were made from possum fur, so soft and warm.
Take care and stay safe. God bless 🙏🏽💜😊🧶
Hello! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! My mom and I had so much fun that day! I was blown away by the gorgeous yarns they had!! 🧶🧶🧶
Omgosh hunny you could be sisters….. what a fun challenge wish we had multiple yarn stores here
Yes!! My mom and I look so much alike!! It was such a fun day! 🐑❤️🧶
These 101 lessons are fabulous! Thanks so much for doing them! I may just have to spring for a 3.5 Ferrils hook!
Thank you! Unfortunately they no longer make a 3.5 mm size Furls crochet hook. But you might want to check out Clover Amour hooks! 🧶🧶🧶
Great tour! My mom would go anywhere if having lunch out was included.
Haha!! That's like my mom!! 🐑❤️🧶
Hi Elise; I live in Denver, CO and just found you on TH-cam! Thank you for this great yarn crawl video. CAB 😍😍
You are so welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
It was sooooooo good to see your mom, give her a big kiss from me she's looking GREAT 😘😘 absolutely loved this tour, how lucky are you having SEVEN yarn shops within your vicinity 😍😍
Thank you so much, Dawn!! I will tell her!! We drive about 150 miles in total that day but it was worth it!! 🚗🐑❤️🧶
OMG! We're neighbors!!! Okay, not really, but I'm in the mountains of western NC - just southeast of Asheville - and definitely close enough to do a Charlotte yarn crawl. Who knew there were so many yarn shops in that area?
Hi, neighbor! I had no idea there were so many myself! Of course my favorite yarn shop is in Black Mountain! 💓
@@EliseRoseCrochet Now that I know it's there, I'll definitely have to run to Black Mountain! I really need to make progress working through my stash before shopping for more yarn, but it's like a whole new world of stuff since I started back crocheting after a years-long hiatus!
Awesome video, thank you!💛
Thank you so much! 🧶🧶🧶
Lovely shops!
Great videoing!
Wonderful smiles on beautiful women’s faces - yours and your mom’s!
Thank you so much, Nettonya!! We had such a great day! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for taking us with you, I loved every minute. Such beautiful yarns shops and great purchases. You look so much like your mom 😊 x
I'm so glad you enjoy it!!! And I've always heard how much I favor my mom!! I consider it a great compliment! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos
Thank you so much! ❤
I loved this video. So fun to be a part of your day. Your mom is so beautiful. You look just like her. Lol! Thank you for taking us along with y’all. ❤
Thank you so much! She's a wonderful woman inside and out! 🧶🧶🧶
That was so great , thank you for taking us along with you and your mom ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed the little adventure with me and my mom! 🌻
Where is the shops? (I’m Amanda’s daughter if your wondering why a tech TH-camr is commentating lol) (I’ve been crocheting for a while so I want to go there😅) I’m new to your channel and i love it and the stuff u make, have a nice day :D
The shops are all located in the Charlotte, NC region. But just do a quick Google search to see what local yarn shops are in your area!! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet thank you!
That yarn shop is close enough for me to go next year!!! 🎉❤. The big question…where you go to eat lunch :)
We just went to a little Greek place in Charlotte! There are lots of great spots to eat all over this area!! 🐑❤️🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet I need to make a day trip down there even without shop hopping :)
AMAZING! I totally enjoyed your trip to visit these seven Yarn Shops! The next time I come to North Carolina I might just take the time to take this tour and visit these shops! Thank you for sharing this fun trip with us!!!
Thanks so much, Michele!! My mom and I had so much fun!!! You should definitely check out some of the shops when you're in town!! 🧶🧶🧶
Your mom, like you, is beautiful!!!! Looks like you had a wonderful day. So intrigued by the Kiwi shop.
Thank you so much! I've heard how much I look like her my whole life! And the Kiwis Yarn was so much fun!! 🧶🧶🧶
So fun!! Your mom looks like a lovely lady...hope you got all the shop stickers!!
Thank you! She is a wonderful person! I didn't know there were shop stickers!!! 😱🧶🧶🧶
They must of picked the tails clean ! here in the states. Lol poor possums ;-)
Lol!!! Poor possums!!! 😂😂😂
In NZ the possums are an introduced pest and threat to our native Bush and birds.
@@EliseRoseCrochet 😂😂
What a lovely day out with your mum visiting all those beautiful yarn shops 🌸🧶🌸
Thank you so much! We had a great day! 🧶🧶🧶
Loved this❣️ Kiwi Yarn shop is on my list to visit soon ❤️🤗 🧶
It's a great shop!! Such interesting and unusual yarns! 🧶🧶🧶
That was awesome! How lucky to live within driving distance of these beautiful shops!
Thank you!! I feel very lucky!! 🐑❤️🧶
You look so much like your mum. So many beautiful yarn shops and I love everything you bought ❤
Yes!! I've heard it all my life!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you for showing
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you Elise for taking us on your trip out.....so many beautiful yarns, i would definitely have bought a few of those......
Thank you, Natalie! I couldn't resist!! 😂🧶🧶🧶
Hello, Elise!
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing trip with us! And wow, you look just like your mom. Beautiful ladies! 😊 Loved how she kept nodding as you were saying that you had promised you weren't going to buy yarn. 😂
Hope someday I can make that same yarn crawl. Especially, the last one. My husband and I had our honeymoon in Auckland, New Zealand! One of our trips was to a sheep farm; it was wonderful and of course our honeymoon was out of this world!!
Wish I had picked up knitting/crocheting back then. Boy, oh boy, would I have bought a lot of yarn! 😁
Anyway, looking forward to your next video! 😊❣
Thanks so much! I've heard how much I look like my mom all of my life!! I have a daughter that looks just like my mom and I too! Strong genes! What an incredible honeymoon you had!!!! 🐑🐑🐑 I would have to have an entire suitcase just for yarn to come home with!! ✈️
@@EliseRoseCrochet , aww, beautiful genes. 😀 Yes, I probably would have brought home extra luggage! 😂
This looks like such an amazing day out Elise!!! I have never been on a yarn crawl , but I would love to go on one at one point soon, once I can find one nearby, although I'm not convinced that my purse would love it 😂❤
Lol!! When I got home I looked at all my receipts!!! 😱😱😱 Oh well, it was good to support locally owned shops! 🐑❤️🧶
How fun!! I can’t wait to see what you create with all of these beautiful yarns! Thanks for sharing!
Me too!!! They were all so gorgeous!! 🧶🧶🧶
Wow Elise, 7 local shops is amazing!! The only yarn shops near me are the big box stores😢 What fabulous finds, especially at the Kiwi shop. Thanks for sharing your excursion and to all the shops for allowing you to film. BTW your Mom looks more like your older sister!!! Good genes👍🏻 Cheers from FL😺
Thank you so much! We had such a great day!! And I didn't realize we had so many local yarn shops so close by!! And I'll tell her you said that, she will be thrilled!! 🧶🧶🧶
Great video, loved seeing all the beautiful yarn. Our yarn crawl here in NYC, is in September. Sad to say our favorite yarn store Purl Soho hasn't reopened yet. My friend is getting me yarn from their website. I'm a knitter, I tried learning left handed crochet on here, was a mess. I'll stick with my knitting for now. I saw one of the stores had Noro yarn from Japan. I knitted a cowl with Noro Ito once, all hand dyed and beautiful. Not sure I want to knit with Possum though. Right now I'm knitting a Purl Soho pattern with their new organic cotton from Japan called Handwritten. It works with to different colors knitted together on size 4 24 inch circular needles. Not a good idea working with yarn overs, and you drop stitches. Wound up having to undo, will start again tomorrow. Was really nice they let you video in the store. Was there any raffles at stores, we have them here during yarn crawl. One time I won a skein of yarn and drawstring canvas bag.
I've been to the Purl Soho website many times!! Would love to go someday! And yes they had a big raffle, which my mom and I didn't win! 😂
Oh my what a great video, I’m soooo envious, but I would be in BIG TROUBLE….would want to buy so many great yarns maybe someday I can take a trip to North Carolina …..
I kept buying more and more as I shopped!!! If there had been another store I would have been in real trouble! 😂😂😂
Your mom is adorable, though I'm super partial to mine🤣
I think my husband is praying that they never have a "yarn crawl" day near us 😁🤣
Love from Maine,
Deb
Haha!! Thank you so much, Deb! She is pretty cute!! Moms are the best!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank You for always sharing and taking us along with you wow so beautiful I love all that yarn 🧶 😍 thank You Elise also your mom is adorable she looks like you what a cutie 🥰 happy stitches. p.s. hope your kitty is doing better now little darling 😻 wa as it olive 🤔 anyway hope your all doing good blessings 🙏💕
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the yarn crawl!! My mom is such a great person inside and out! 🧶🧶🧶 And it was our other cat Pickle, he is doing so great now!! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️❤️
So enjoyed this video. The only place to buy wool here in Stevenage UK, is Hobbycraft, and they don't hold much stock. I do order online but its much more exciting seeing what u buy.
That's so interesting! I would have thought there were tons of local yarn shops in the UK! It is so much fun to see it in person!
Thank you for showing us around!! My city organizes a yarn crawl every year but I've never participated. I'm trying to convince my husband to go with me 😃
Haha!! My poor husband would have gone and been a good sport about it. But I'm glad my mom wanted to go instead!! 🐑🧶❤️
I loved watching this! That must have been such a fun time, especially because you were hanging out with your mom! Thank you for sharing!
Yes! It was so much fun to do the yarn crawl with her!! 🧶🧶🧶
Saw you joined Pam's Monday morning chat. Are you a CBA student?
Yes! I thinking about becoming a CBA student. Gathering information now! She seems like a great teacher! ❤️
Wonderful tours. The shop with gorgeous yarn number 4 I think is sooo gorgeous in hanks. Wow fun fun fun. Can’t wait to see the haul close up.😊
Thanks so much! We had such a fun time!! 🧶🧶🧶
You have so many great yarn stores here! Lucky lucky! Love the bag you picked up❤ You and your Mom look alike, love it!
Thank you so much! I had never even been to most of those shops!! 🐑🧶❤️
Loved seeing all the nice shops and beautiful yarn. Thanks.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! We had so much fun filming it! 🧶🧶🧶
Elise this was a precious video thanks for sharing. You and your mom favor so much, you both are lovely ladies.
Thank you so much! We had a great time! I've always heard I was her twin from the time I was a child!! 🧶🧶🧶
Wow, those shops were beautiful and full of the yarny goodness😍. You are lucky to have so many in your area.
I had no idea we had so many!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thank you, that looks fun. I copied the info about the yarn shops and will visit each one myself since I missed this event
They are worth going to! So much fun to do it all in one day! 💓
The first shop I noticed Claire Garland little frogs, they are so cute, great video.
They are so cute!! 🧶🧶🧶
Lovely additions to your stash! Funny how we all lie to ourselves about not buying any more yarn 🧶 😆
Lol It was a very big lie! 😂
Hi Elise! Thanks for taking us shopping with you! If I ever make it to that area, you won’t have to bribe me with lunch - I would willingly be your partner in yarn crime! We have a shop up here in the far southwest Chicago suburbs called Yarn to Dye For. Lovely place! 😻☺️💕
Haha!!! Deal!! 🥗🌯🌮🍔 It's always fun to go to a LYS! 🐑❤️🧶
It was so much fun to tag along with you and your mom. I loved seeing all the shops and yarns. I love that fox bag is there a way to purchase one online?
Thank you! That was such a fun day! For the Fox bag, I think you would need to contact Knit One, Stitch Two. They are in huntersville, NC. Hope that helps! 🦊🦊🦊
This was a fun video! Last night I went to a taco party and yarn dyeing demonstration at one of my LYS ❤ it’s was just so much fun ☺️🧶💕…. Karen from Greenleaf Idaho
Oh fun!!! I would love to learn more about yarn dyeing!!! 🧶🧶🧶
Great video! Who makes the felted bags you purchased?
Thank you! The bag says it's a fair trade item handmade in Nepal designed by Frabjous Fibers. 🐑❤️🧶
Oh my goodness, so much fun!!! 🤩🧶🧶🧶
Thank you, Taralah! It was so much fun!! 🧶🧶🧶
That is great you got to see some of the wool from here in New Zealand! Possum merino is just gorgeous.
I was so excited to see so many different yarns that I had never seen before!! 💖💖💖
Oh my goodness your mom is just as cute as you are!…… which I guess is where you get it from😊
Awww! Thank you!!! I just told her how many people are commenting about how cute she is!! 🐑❤️🧶
I totally do this with my mom..she loves going to lunch so i stick in yarn stops.
Enjoy!! 🧶🧶🧶
That looked like a lot of fun, but where did you have lunch? I love lunch too.
We went to a little Greek place for lunch! 🧶🧶🧶
I wish we had a shop with Aussie/Kiwi yarn. I found some when we were visiting the Outer Banks last summer. Lovely yarn! I also did a day of yarn shops on an yarn crawl. it was at least 7 stops and I barely made it. Not much time to look but I learned where they all were. Lol!
That's wonderful! I've lived in NC for over 20 years and I've never been to the Outer Banks! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet Ooh, you have to go! We went in Sept 2022, right after a big storm. They were “sand ploughing” the roads on the island where the ponies/horses are. (Forgot the name.😆)
How fantastic Elise. What a lovely day with mom. Thanks for sharing. 🤗
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! We had so much fun! 🧶🧶🧶
I bought yarn and was shocked to see opossum on the label! 💕🌸
Haha!! That would surprise me too!! 🐑❤️🧶
Loved this Elise and great to see your Mama - you are so alike xxx
Thank you so much!! I've been told how much I look like my mom. my whole life! Makes me happy!
Did your Mom get to have lunch??? LOL! My Mother loves to eat out too! These shops are amazing! We don't have anything like that here. I'm glad that y'all had a great day!😄
Lol!! Yes she did!! We went to a little Greek place. I should have taken video of it! 😂😂😂
@@EliseRoseCrochet Glad y'all had fun! Your yarn is gorgeous 😁
I'm doing a September Stash down, so while I'm on a yarn diet, I'll just watch you shop! 😂
Haha!! I'm going to need to go on a yarn diet now!! 😂😂😂
@@EliseRoseCrochet I gained about 15 pounds ( of yarn) this year... Hobby Lobby clearance, garage sales and birthday gifts!
Thank you for sharing your yarn stops in your surrounging area. I wish we had some yarn shops in my area. The nearest is either Greensboro, Chapel Hill or Durham. I can't drive, but locally so this stops me from shoping. You look so much like your Mom. Tell her is was nice to meet her.
Awww, it would be nice if they chartered buses for a yarn crawl! That could be a lot of fun!! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet THAT WOULD BE HEAVENLY
Thanks for taking us with you on this amazing trip Elise, how i wish i was there with you too 👍🏻🤩💖
It was so much fun!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🧶🧶🧶
Ty for taking us on this beautiful yarn trip!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching! 🧶🐑❤️
Those yarns are so beautiful! 😍 heaven. Thanks for sharing it to us
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! We had so much fun that day! 🧶🧶🧶
I really want to see what you will create with your new stash
Thank you!! I have a hard time using hand dyed yarn! I am always worried I'll waste it! 🧶🧶🧶
A really fun video!! Thanks
So glad you enjoyed it! 🧶🧶🧶
there really fun
Thank you!!
I am crocheting a granny square cardigan while watching this. This completes my cozy fall Sunday evening 😊 (here in Switzerland )
Awwww! That's amazing!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!! 🐑❤️🧶
Ive never heard of a yarn crawl but sounds so fun
It was sooo much fun!! 💞
Fun day. You sure look like your sweet mom.
I've heard that my whole life and I consider it a big compliment! Thank you! 🧶🧶🧶
WOW! There was so many beautiful yarns! Thank you for the fix LOL I love Mom's "HA" ! lol 98% of my yarn is in storage until the end of October and I am feening ;) Hope this finds you having a wonderful day.
Thank you so much!! My mom knew I wasn't going to be able to resist! Hope you get to your yarn soon!! 🧶🧶🧶
Thanks for taking us to "WOOLY HEAVEN " Elise so many beautiful yarns and colours are amazing.🐑🐑🐑
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! It really was Wooly Heaven!! ❤
I absolutely love shopping with my daughter, but sure wish my mom was still here to shop with. You two are very fortunate ladies. I love the dogs too! I would be a nut to live that close to that many yarn stores. I would have yarn and not enough money to eat. Your mom‘s yellow chairs on her porch and of course her cute pups are AWESOME! Thanks for sharing! I’m about green with envy right now.😍😍😍
I feel very fortunate to have her so close by and that I still have her. Can't imagine my life without her. My heart goes out to you. And that new Kiwi yarn shop is going to be a major temptation since it is so close by!!!! 🙈🧶🙈🧶
What a fun video! First, your Mama is adorable! And you look just like her!! I loved seeing all the shops and seeing what you bought!! Thanks for taking us along!!! 💗
You're so welcome!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!! And I've been hearing about our resemblance since I was a child!! Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
You and your mom look so much alike.
We do! I've heard it my whole life!! 🐑❤️🧶
I was thinking that too! ❤❤
Thank you very much Elise.😀
You're so welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
This was so much fun. Thank you for letting us tag along with you and your mom. I could not plan such an outing, i would be spending too much time in just one shop, and to try to visit all of them in a day, wow!! Your choice of music is perfect.
Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💓
How fun! Thanks for taking us along with you!☺️💕🧶🙌
You're so welcome!! We had a great day! 🧶🧶🧶
This looks like so much fun! I’m doing my first yarn crawl here in Kansas in late October, I’m super excited for it
Oooh! Exciting!!! Hope you have a great time! 🧶🧶🧶
Can’t wait to see the possum yarn!
It was amazing!! 🐑❤️🧶
Thanks for sharing your fun day!
Thanks so much for watching! 🐑🧶❤️
Ugh, this makes me wish there were local yarn shops near me. I'm so jealous! These all look so amazing and cute!
Awww! It's good to have all these gorgeous shops nearby, but bad for the budget! 😂😂😂🧶🧶🧶
What fun! Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! 🧶🧶🧶
What a day! I love that your mom was able to come with you!❤
Thank you!! Me too! It was a real treat to spend the day together! 🧶🧶🧶
Loved it! Thank you!
Thank you so much! 🌻
Now I would love to see what you do with all of that unique yarn! I would love to try some beautiful yarns like those but I never know what to use them for!
What's funny is that when I buy really nice yarn I save it forever because I'm terrified to use it!! 😂😂😂
Your mom looks like your twin
I've heard that my whole life!! Thank you!! She's a wonderful lady inside and out! 💖💖💖
I've started watching some of your videos recently. I didn't realize how many local yarn shops were so close to me. This was a great find. Thank you.
You're so welcome! 🧶🧶🧶
Your mum looks lovely Hope she got her lunch I did a yarn crawl here in UK and collected 6 stamps and put my card in for raffle
She definitely got her lunch!! 🧶🧶🧶
Such a shame that not all of the shops allowed you to film. They miss a big opportunity to promote their goods and skills. Also, it says a lot that you didn't review them.
Oh no I did film them all! There were just seven shops in total! 🧶🧶🧶
Your mom looks so young .
She's in her mid 70s! She will love that you think so! ❤️
Soooo cool! I've never done a yarn crawl so this was fun to watch.
This was my first one and it was really fun!! 🐑🧶❤️
Gotta love that Aussie and NZ yarns 💞 love the textured one looking forward to seeing what you turn it into.
I was so excited to see so many different yarns that I had never even heard of before!! It was a great! And that shop is about 10 minutes from my house!! 🙌🙌🙌
@@EliseRoseCrochet oh wow so close! I haven’t seen the NZ Kauri yarn before so that was lovely you shared them.
As a kiwi it is cool to see a US yarn store with lots of wool from down under. Yarn with Possum in is lovely to knit with and the Possums are an introduced pest here.
Another NZer here following your channel. Possum is so soft, lightweight and warm. V They're kinda cute but very destructive to our native forests & birds . Was fun visiting all the yarn shops vicariously.
@@rachaellee That's what the shop owner explained. Very interesting!
Oh wow! Thank you for bringing us along! Now I really want to come to NC to visit the yarn shops! Your mom is adorable!
There's another one up in Black Mountain, NC that is incredible!!!! So so gorgeous!!! 🧶🧶🧶
@@EliseRoseCrochet one day🙏🏼I have a brother-in-law who lives in NC and my daughter and son in law are looking at a possible move there!
@@nicoleallen6768 So many people are moving here!! Where are they located?
@@EliseRoseCrochet they’re in Santa Clara California. My son in law works for intuitive surgical and is hoping to move to NC where there is a headquarters.
Mother-daughter outing, how fun!
Yes it was! 🧶🧶🧶
Elise, I see you bought some very beautiful yarns & fun notions! I really enjoyed seeing all the shops you visited w/your very pretty mom. I wish we had so many yarn shops in my area..you're lucky!!🤗😍🌞
Thank you so much! My mom is pretty on the inside as she is on the outside! We are very lucky to have so many! 🧶🧶🧶
