I feel like they should be legally reqiired to rename "just cotton" to "*mostly* cotton." I can envision someone missing the 85% cotton small print, using it as a hot pad, and melting their hot pad. I do love premier yarns though and i'm really glad it's so accessible to people with lower incomes.
You are the second person on TH-cam who has mentioned Dollar Tree yarn. Thanks for thus video. I would not have thought to buy yarn at Dollar Tree. Now I will.
Just Tweed is perfect for hats really!! I used a few skeins of Just Tweed beige to make a hat for my out of state friend for Christmas and I almost wanted to keep it XD really might make myself a similar one soon out of the same type
Great video- thank you. I love the Dollar Tree yarn for small projects like amigurumi where I need smaller quantities but I honestly think you can get better value with value yarn at sales prices from Michaels or Joanne's when you need yarn for a decent size project. Haven't seen anyone talk about this yet but it might be something to think about covering in a future video. Enjoy your down to earth style and content. Have a great day!
Your an early bird . I love all your squares . Wish our dollar trees had all the colors . Ohio, WV and Ky not much yarn in our dollar trees . But I keep looking . Thanks for sharing ❤️
I love my dollar tree hooks! The ergonomic handled metal hooks and the solid plastic ones are my favorites! I’ve been using them for a few years now. I love all the Premier Yarns they carry but not the crafters square yarns.
Our dollar tree doesn't have hooks either. I am going to keep an eye out for them. When Premier came out the bigger skeins on their site, it turned out to be more yardage for the money. I do love the Just Yarn. Thanks for another great video.
Hi Ginger, every time I wonder where you are, you pop up either later that day or the next. I wish the $1.25 tree stores in my area had at least half the yarn in yours and as neat as that. I’ve lots of their yarn when they just came out w/them years ago, also have those hooks and honestly, I love them as much or more than some of my more expensive ones. Thank you for taking us along with/you, showing what you made w/the yarn and how the hooks work. All in all a really great video. Enjoy the rest of your day.
Dollar tree yarn is made by Premier and if you are short on $$$ usually you can squeeze out 1 or 2 bucks at a time. Buying enough yarn for a blanket might cost more all at once, but it’s like a lay away plan! I always pick up 5 or 6 skeins when I am there.
I really like this yarn, what I dislike the tangled mess the yarn is in the bins.. They used to have a better selection of colors at our store, but they’ve been gone for awhile.
Hi Ginger, Thanks for taking us along to Dollar Tree and then giving us a review of the yarns and hooks you got. I need to check out my local Dollar Tree.
I LOVE the plastic hooks at Dollar Tree. I have VERY expensive hooks, but I actually grab the plastic ones first. EVERY time I see them at my DT, I grab a set of the 5 mm/5.5 mm ones. They're my preferred hooks, to be honest.
I use the dollar tree hook all time!!! My favorite hook. I also use the dollar tree yarn too. The quality is very good. By the way, I really enjoyed the 10 minute commercial on Usher prepping for the superbowl. It was worth watching. Thanks Ginger!❤️🙏🏻
When I can find it, I like the chenille for amigarumi and the regular worsted for my sentro machine. Most times though my local stores only have cotton. Also, I really like the ergonomic hooks. They are great especially if you are traveling and think you might lose your hook.
Hiya Ginger. I love your enthusiasm for crochet, yarn and hooks!! Could I be cheeky and ask if you could possibly do a dedicated video for your lemon peel square please? I've tried and tried to find one, but the youtube gods are against me 😂😂!! Thanks for all you do hun, love from Swansea, South Wales, UK.xx
I don't thing Dollar Tree yarn is a good buy... if I go to hobby lobby with $10 I get more yarn especially if is 30% off week. Dollar tree yarn is a good thing if a friend wants to lean to knit or crochet and you make a kit , or a kit for a person that is in the hospital, or a emergency ( like you are on a trip and you forget you yarn bag LOL) then you can get 2-3 skeins and make one or two hats... I would not buy to stash away!
The hooks were an issue for me with the thumb rest but the yarn was very very good. I haven't tried the cotton cuz I don't normally use cotton in my crochet but I always see it at the dollar tree.
Another awesome out-the-box video! ❤ Love it, because it helps us as consumers gauge to see if purchasing this yarn is really worth it. I’m big on yardage; the more the yardage the better.
Loving the squares! Your little rug, is a great bathroom or bedroom size. The plastic hooks tips at the hook are too pointy, and would tend to snag. Boye’s plastic hooks are designed like that. Too frustrating and tend to snag and split yarn. The ergonomic ones, I may have to try. I have a set of Clover hooks, they were a gift. I can’t use them. I just can’t get the hang of the short, flat plastic handle. These look like they might be a bit longer. They aren’t any where near as expensive as the clover hooks, and I could donate them if they don’t work out. Really, really, loving the squares, I am thinking about making some blankets, too. The local dollar tree does have these yarns. Your video popped up in my recommended videos today. What luck! I enjoyed spending time with you. Thank you. 🕊💕🕯😇🙏🏻💚
+i love dollar tree the yarn.. I have made many projects.. I made a pineapple runner out of the cotton premier yarn in white and one in cream..i am also going to do a ripple granny stitch blanket..I bought the black and white and made a Houndstooth lapghan..it took me 10 skeins to make it
I love it so much! I was so surprised when I found out about DT having yarn a few years back few years back …. And then to find out that most of the yarn is awesome was a super bonus! I want to make a black and white squares blanket out of the chenille yarn! 🖤🤍 Have a great day! 😄
Thanks for sharing and wow you are very lucky your dollar tree is so well stocked and has yarn and hooks. The ones in my area do not have hooks and usually do not have yarn and if they do its one little box and its all a mess. If I find 2 skeins I am lucky. The plus yarn I used 3 strands of it and made a furry figure - amigurumi, pattern from the loopy lamb. I made the little owl ornament and showed it in one of my youtube videos. So you can use 2 or 3 strands of that yarn and make amigurmis, especially with her Crochetfurryfriends book. 😊 I am also hosting and just started an informal swatch stitch along on my youtube channel. ❤
My DT hasn't had this much yarn in at least a year, or more. I have to say that i have most of these but i have bought very little since they went to 1.25. Additionally, the just cotton (maybe the others, too) skeins have gotten even smaller. Consequently, the value just isn't what it once was and i can get value cotton and acrylic for cheaper elsewhere. At this point, the only reason i would keep buying the just yarn is for a small project where i want a bunch of different colors in small amounts.
So after we noticed some of the dollar stores had yarn, my husband and I went out to different ones weekly sometimes and I gathered enough and made a blanket just out of the dollar store yarn. It was so soft. It was worth it in my opinion, plus the time we.got to spend together getting the yarn. Praise Jesus, what a wonderful thing. I havent tried the crochet hooks there tho. I realized after many buys that I kinda stick to clover as a go to. Thanks.for the video.
I feel like it allows a really low barrier to entry for someone who's starting out crocheting or knitting. A ball of yarn and hooks or needles for under $5, they could make a dishcloth or a little toy. Really good for kids or someone who's not sure if they'll like doing it.
❤I love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby is superior to most acrylic yarns. Only 3.49 every other week and have 355 yards. Softest and best quality you'll ever work with ❤
That yarn is actually pretty nice. It works on my sentro knitting machine (48) perfectly and its kinda soft too. The tweed ones knit like 70-74 rows, and the solid colors would knit more.
Not bad yarn for the price imo. I bought some fuzzy yarn a few week ago. But it hard to work with. Haven't found the right size needle for it yet. But I love it! Thanks ❤
Their just chenille is really good for making scrunchies, although i would consider it more of a 5 weight instead of a 6, it's a little thin. Not a fan of the cotton though , its only 85% and it seems to be little thinner than other cotton yarns.That polyester isn't going to fare up well in hot water. These are great low-cost skeins for beginners and folks who just want to dabble in the craft though! You are so right with the crafter's square feeling like a heavy 3, I really don't feel like it's a true 4 and it crochets up as somewhere in between. Not so bad for us experienced crocheters, as we have an inbuilt sense to know when to adjust a pattern accordingly, but I can imagine beginners might be upset with a hat that's too tight or a scarf that works up too short.
I have been in four (4) different places in Texas that has a Dollar Tree and none of them had anything like that!! They didn’t have yarn, they didn’t have crochet or knitting hooks! They did have drawing pads for sketching and cheap canvases if you are learning to paint. I’ve been in the stores in Monahans, Odessa, Eastland and Athens!! I’ll continue to buy mine at any Michael’s, Walmart or Hobby Lobby…as long as they continue to carry yarn! Thanks anyway! NORMA COLLINS FROM TEXAS
Hi! I'm making market bags with That Just Cotton Mushroom color (you mentioned it would make great bags) and you are right! I really like the Just Cotton. Thanks for sharing 😊
I can't wait to try the DT hooks! I don't get too excited about the yarn. I usually get Big Twist from Joann's at such a good price it makes more sense for value acrylics. I do think it's a great place to put together project kits for beginners though!! A little gift basket with several colors and a hook would be awesome to take someone in the hospital or rehab center. ❤
I was about to ask what "kind of a whip" meant until you said it a few more times and I realised you meant WIP (Work In Progress) 😂 I've never heard anyone pronounce it as a word before!! Also like many others I would have never thought to look for yarn at Dollar Tree!
Never noticed the crochet hooks at the Dollar Tree. I will have to check out the ergo hooks. I mostly have Clover and Michael's hooks. I miss my Susan Bates, but it hurts my hand after using them for a while. Great review. Thanks.
I have gotten the Dollar Tree yarn. After what you pay, what you get on the skein, you can get much more bang for your buck on a big box sale on a better yarn.
The problem with Crafter Square yarn is that there are no die lots. Also the CS yarn comes in 100% acrylic or in a polyester-acrylic mix. You have to read the labels.
The funny part is that I prefer the plastic hooks over the ergonomic ones from Dollar Tree. The reason is that the handle for the ergonomic ones is too hard for me, whereas the plastic ones are softer, and remind me a bit of Prym hooks.
Hmmm. I never paid attention to the Dollar Tree yarn even though many content creators have featured it - but I love Scrap Gans....but not too scrappy. I like controlled scrap Gans 😂 so the small skeins would be perfect!
I do enjoy your videos and lives so much . I miss affordable geeky but I know life happens.❤❤❤. Most of my $$trees don’t carry yarn OR I’m getting there too late !!😂
I've made hats from the Tweed Yarn, they turn out really nice. They keep making them smaller...it's really not work it anymore to get them and my 1.25 Tree....never has yarn anymore!
You are blessed! Both dollar trees in my area have only 2 tiny boxes of yarn on a bottom shelf. One crafters square (rougher than premier) and the other all eyelash yarn. Both come in navy blue, black, and red. Thats it. Only one store carries hooks, and those are both plastic, only 2 size options. Where are all the good DTs???🥹
Hello. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much for your review. I myself am in Kansas, you are the 2nd lady I have met here in KS. Again, thank you for your review.
Oooo, I wish the yarn was that neat at my $tree. It's always such a mess, like they throw all the colors in big bin and customers can figure it out themselves.....😮😮
I wish my DT had this much stock and variety. I’ve had to go to atlas 5 DTs to get my hand on just maybe a dozen in a few colors and fibers. I wish we could but on line and didn’t have to but it by the dozen in one color at a time. It probably would be sold out all the time. 😅
People need to pay attention to the yardage. The prices went up, and the yardage seems to have gone down. The basic yarn used to be at least 131 yards if I'm not mistaken... and now it's 109 and less?? If people want to take one the challenge, try actually measure a couple of skeins to see what the actual measurements are. It's a nice yarn, but the skeins should be consistently at least 131 yards or greater.
What about the dye lots? When buying the yarn are the colors the same or is their different with getting more then one are they same color or is their a different in the colors
I love to buy there, but it is hard to find diferents Yarn at stock and if they have some, i just one or two... when we need more for make something big
Yes! It doesn’t hurt to check! If it’s a ways away, you might want to call the store first to see if they have it so you don’t waste a trip. Some of the DTs around me have quite a bit of yarn and some don’t have any. Have a great day!! 🥰
I feel like they should be legally reqiired to rename "just cotton" to "*mostly* cotton."
I can envision someone missing the 85% cotton small print, using it as a hot pad, and melting their hot pad.
I do love premier yarns though and i'm really glad it's so accessible to people with lower incomes.
You are the second person on TH-cam who has mentioned Dollar Tree yarn. Thanks for thus video. I would not have thought to buy yarn at Dollar Tree. Now I will.
I love how you have shown what to do with Dollar Tree yarn. I like the Just Tweed Yarn to make hats 😊

I really like the dollar tree ergonomic hooks I like the handle I use the cotton yarn for dish clothes premier was smart to have their yarn there.

Good Morning Cecilia! 😄 It looks like you’re an early bird too! I hope your DTs get more yarn soon! 🤞🤞🤞 have a great day! 🥰
Yes I am In Cincinnati and not having a lot luck finding the just yarns

Premier sells bigger skeins of Just Yarn for $6.99 ea. I think they just added Tweeds.

I have used the dollar tree just cotton yarn to make water bottle carriers for church family camp, everyone loved them!
Don't have a dollar tree here, but love watching you shop
When I can find it, I like the chenille for amigarumi and the regular worsted for my sentro machine. Most times though my local stores only have cotton. Also, I really like the ergonomic hooks. They are great especially if you are traveling and think you might lose your hook.
dollar tree yarn is what got me through rehab. dollar tree was my favorite place to go on outings to because i can get a ton of yarn for really cheap

I've tried and tried to find one, but the youtube gods are against me 😂😂!! Thanks for all you do hun, love from Swansea, South Wales, UK.xx
I really like the tweed and the multi color cotton for dish clothes. Also love seeing another video 💜🤓🧶
Yay! Thank you! It’s hard to get the videos done when I have to choose between making a video and crocheting! 😂😂😂
I wish our Dollar Trees had the Just Yarn.
I enjoyed your review of Dollar Tree and Crafter's Square yarns. I like using those yarns.
Your so fun and joyful and I am all here for it and the idea to do a square of a whole skien is so neat
I don't thing Dollar Tree yarn is a good buy... if I go to hobby lobby with $10 I get more yarn especially if is 30% off week.

I used the chenille to make some Halloween/Harvest crocheted pumpkins this fall and they were favorites.

I think Dollar Tree yarn is awesome! Oh how we used it during the pandemic! Thank you Ginger for reminding us of it!!☺️🧶
You are so welcome, Karla! 🥰
I live on the east coast ,we don't have anywhere near that much yarn . Your so lucky.
Us too in Ohio

This made me smile, that's so sweet ❤
I feel like it allows a really low barrier to entry for someone who's starting out crocheting or knitting. A ball of yarn and hooks or needles for under $5, they could make a dishcloth or a little toy. Really good for kids or someone who's not sure if they'll like doing it.
I agree!! 😄
Stock May depend what day of the week you are there. Best days are Tuesday or Wednesdays.
I’ve made quite a few hats with the Just Yarn and the Just Cotton. Works great
❤I love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby is superior to most acrylic yarns. Only 3.49 every other week and have 355 yards. Softest and best quality you'll ever work with ❤
Hi, I have bought the dollar tree yarn and I love it. I made hats & baby booties and amigurumi
That yarn is actually pretty nice. It works on my sentro knitting machine (48) perfectly and its kinda soft too. The tweed ones knit like 70-74 rows, and the solid colors would knit more.
Aloha Ginger. What a fun review. Thank you so much.
I love the lemon peel stitch
Not bad yarn for the price imo. I bought some fuzzy yarn a few week ago. But it hard to work with. Haven't found the right size needle for it yet. But I love it! Thanks ❤
Hi Virginia 😄 Was it the Just Yarn Plush? I think I am using a 6mm with that yarn. I always like to use bigger hooks with fuzzy yarn.
good review. i like your square method of testing yarn. alsp appreciate the square tutorial!
I LOVE this yarn. Genuinely. I LOVE IT.
THANKS FOR SHARING PEACE AND PEACE WITH BLESSINGS 🙏 ❤❤❤❤❤😊
Amen ❤
What a great idea! Like you- I can’t seem to not buy yarn whenever i see it!😊
I bought the DT ergo hooks before investing in my Boye ergo hooks just to know i would like the ergo hooks. Thanks, Ginger. ❤
I really agree with the that ergonomic hook, better as well on some projects but do Love the clover size 5.
Excellent comparison. I love dollar tree yarn. 🧶
Their just chenille is really good for making scrunchies, although i would consider it more of a 5 weight instead of a 6, it's a little thin.

That funky yarn you have in the bag reminds me of pipsqueak yarn.
Girl, is that cardigan pattern ready.? I can hardly wait!!!
I have been in four (4) different places in Texas that has a Dollar Tree and none of them had anything like that!! They didn’t have yarn, they didn’t have crochet or knitting hooks! They did have drawing pads for sketching and cheap canvases if you are learning to paint. I’ve been in the stores in Monahans, Odessa, Eastland and Athens!! I’ll continue to buy mine at any Michael’s, Walmart or Hobby Lobby…as long as they continue to carry yarn! Thanks anyway!

A little gift basket with several colors and a hook would be awesome to take someone in the hospital or rehab center. ❤
I love dollar tree just yarn. Very soft. Down fall is you have to buy it when you see it. It might not match or be there next time.
I was about to ask what "kind of a whip" meant until you said it a few more times and I realised you meant WIP (Work In Progress) 😂 I've never heard anyone pronounce it as a word before!! Also like many others I would have never thought to look for yarn at Dollar Tree!
I used their yarn to make Christmas ornaments. Work out good for me. I had many colors for them without having to buy big amounts of yarn 6:14
I absolutely LOVE Dollar Tree yarn. But all of them around me have nowhere near the amount of yarn in your store video! I'm jealous!
Never noticed the crochet hooks at the Dollar Tree. I will have to check out the ergo hooks. I mostly have Clover and Michael's hooks. I miss my Susan Bates, but it hurts my hand after using them for a while. Great review. Thanks.
cynthiacazares4807, try those rubber grips for pencils. Also in $1.25 tree or ant discount stores in the school supply section.
@@preciousbeautyj1043 Thanks. Will them.
I’m working on a 6-Day Baby Blanket, but making a twin size. Thanks for the hook review! ❤

Hmmm. I never paid attention to the Dollar Tree yarn even though many content creators have featured it - but I love Scrap Gans....but not too scrappy. I like controlled scrap Gans 😂 so the small skeins would be perfect!
I live in rural Ohio. The nearest Hobby Lobby is an hour’s drive away. So I often buy yarn at $ Tree or Walmart.
Thank you for measuring it up for me ...Super Helpful!!!!😊
Hi Samantha! 😄 Awesome! I’m so happy to help! 🌸
We get a lot of tweed at our store ,I loom knitting hats for my families.
I do enjoy your videos and lives so much . I miss affordable geeky but I know life happens.❤❤❤. Most of my $$trees don’t carry yarn OR I’m getting there too late !!😂
Thank you for sharing never knew they had yarn.
You’re welcome 😊
Just tweed is pretty. I've never seen so much yarn at dollar tree.
I've made hats from the Tweed Yarn, they turn out really nice. They keep making them smaller...it's really not work it anymore to get them and my 1.25 Tree....never has yarn anymore!
I'd say the yarn is great for someone to get started with learning to crochet or knit.
I love the yarn as well helps in a pinch.
You are blessed! Both dollar trees in my area have only 2 tiny boxes of yarn on a bottom shelf. One crafters square (rougher than premier) and the other all eyelash yarn.

Not fair, your dollar tree has so much more yarn than mine.
DT seems to have discontinued yarn in our area.
Cwips= currently using works in progress 👌🏼
Thank you for sharing! 😊
Hi Ginger. None of our Dollar Tree stores carry any amount of yarns. It is sad
Haven't ever looked at Dollar Tree. I'll stop by one this week. And how about "Test WIP"?
Good Morning Nancy 😄 Test WIP is a great name! Thanks!!
I wish my DT had this much stock and variety. I’ve had to go to atlas 5 DTs to get my hand on just maybe a dozen in a few colors and fibers.
I wish we could but on line and didn’t have to but it by the dozen in one color at a time. It probably would be sold out all the time. 😅
Hi Sweetie, l laugh when l hear $ 1.25 tree
Around 5years ago the Canadian Dollar tree got more expensive then that
People need to pay attention to the yardage. The prices went up, and the yardage seems to have gone down. The basic yarn used to be at least 131 yards if I'm not mistaken... and now it's 109 and less?? If people want to take one the challenge, try actually measure a couple of skeins to see what the actual measurements are. It's a nice yarn, but the skeins should be consistently at least 131 yards or greater.
The soft baby blanket yarn is Good for making Amagromi stuffed animals
What about the dye lots? When buying the yarn are the colors the same or is their different with getting more then one are they same color or is their a different in the colors
I love to buy there, but it is hard to find diferents Yarn at stock and if they have some, i just one or two... when we need more for make something big
You have a dollar tree that is just overstock w yarn. Not so here but will keep on looking
I make hats and beanies with it
Wonder WIPS, as in I wonder about this WIP.
I'm surprised at the amount of yarn there. I have to check out the dollar tree in Detroit wow
Yes! It doesn’t hurt to check! If it’s a ways away, you might want to call the store first to see if they have it so you don’t waste a trip. Some of the DTs around me have quite a bit of yarn and some don’t have any. Have a great day!! 🥰
