Yaa!!!! I have a Walmart close to where I live!! I'm off to see the yarn!!!! I'm off to see the yarn!!! The wonderful anti pilling yarrrrrn!! Ok so I'm just off its partially the new meds and yes it's partially just me but shhhh don't tell anyone!!!! I'm 57 and I'm gonna goof off as much as possible. Hope you all do too and have a wonderful day!! Hugs to all!
It’s nice to know that Walmart is carrying some nicer yarn. I can’t always buy more expensive yarn so it’s good to find an alternative. Thank you for sharing your review.
I’m glad you were having a good day. I am for the most part, as well. I also love making hats. My favorite thing to do. Thank for your reviews, they help immensely.
I love that you take the time show how each yarn works up. I love watching you while I crochet. You have made so many beautiful projects. Thank you so much 💖
Loving these reviews! Keep an eye out for the Mainstay *Sparkle* Acrylic Yarn…it is gorgeous!! My Walmart had 5 colors, a teal, rose, silver, lavender and taupe and they’re stamped OEKO-TEX approved and made in Turkey. I’m impressed!
Brought a friend to Dr.'s appt sitting in parking lot while waiting watching you and crocheting, it's a little bit chilly this morning but a beautiful day so far. 10:30am in PA.
Love the review. I will definitely get some of the Mainstay anti pilling. I have used the regular Mainstay and I really like it. I like the varigated black and the varigated pink.
I love the Walmart anti pilling yarn. The price is great. I think it's not wound as tight which makes it thicker. As a crocheter I love watching you knit. You have given me inspiration to try with your technique. I've tried knitting the "traditional" way and it just doesn't feel comfortable because I only crochet. This gives me hope to research this way of knitting. I never knew it was a thing. Thank you.
I always bought yarn based on weight and color, but now I’m starting to pay more attention to the feel and how easy it is to use. Your sample reviews are very helpful. 🤗 from Florida 🌴
Iam interested in using anti-pilling for granny square pillow covers for my daughter's new couch...since this video I know I'm on the right track.....thought it would be the best suited for the pillows since her couch is the center of activities for 5 kids....🥰🧡thks Jennifer for another most informative video....
I hate myself for not keeping up with you videos daily. I found an old show on Peacock (House) and I've been binge watching....sorry😥 but I'm doing my best to go back and watch🥰
Thanks so much Jennifer!! I just wish my Walmart would get their yarn stocked!! It is slim pickin's!! Lol. I would like to give the mainstay a try,,,,but I think I will likely order from Premier! 🤪🥰
Hi Jennifer when I want to do a Centre pull I allways take the label of it gives you more room to put your hand in then when you have done put label back on hope that helps love you take care xxxxxxx
The Walmart yarn is actually gonna work fine for me. I plan on only using it as a base to help making amigurumi with plush yarn easier by acting as a guide. The anti-pilling yarn is to make sure when I frog it doesn't cause as many issues.
I love the review. Knitting is as much fun as crocheting. I have gone back to knitting more than usual especially if I have time. But crochet is in the lead for speed if I'm looking to make something quick. I do knit like my mom Portuquese style so it is different than other people. So knitting styles vary pick your favorite.
Oh the anti pilling mainstays is definitely luxurious feeing compared to the regular mainstays, im planning on buying a lot more. It’ll make really beautiful fair isle projects
Nice I purchase some yarns at Walmart. Some of the prices on better brands are out of my budget at times. I love that you are comparing. Blessed day to you.🦜
I do like the #4 weight Mainstay yarn. The regular acrylic is better than Red Heart, though very few colors. The cotton yarn is really soft also. I just nade a ton of washcloths for Rose at Rose Likes Crochet and that cotton is on point. There was only 2 colors at my local Walmart, pink or blue/teal. I thinknthere is supposed to be a brown or tan and also a white but I never see those at my store. I have seen the Antipilling acrylic but have not used it yet
I haven't had a chance to try this since I read it. I was told look at the label. If it reads from from end to end, the center pull is at the starting end of the words. If the words run in a circle around the yarn, the center pull is at the end closest to the top of the letters.
I checked on WM website and the mainstay anti-pilling was sold out in almost all colors. Sad but I too don't by yarn at WM very often. I did order the Premier Bloom Chunky Big it will be here later in Oct.
When I feel a huge twisted yarn ball like that coming I stick it back in take off the label and use it from the outside. I do not have the patience to fight with yarn barf that is that twisted.
I saw the MS art Walmart shortly after they put it out and I think I bought most of it! I realize there are only 6 colors, but they are kinda "staple" colors. I was HOPING to see them restock them, but they haven't yet. I hope that they do well so they MAY come out with more colors. Wouldn't that be FAB!?!?!
I have to be honest with you Cinnamon, After the dog chewed your expensive things, and you said what you did in the video, I rarely watched you afterwards. I am happy I stayed subscribed to you. Your new review format suits so many viewers now. Have you tried the Big Twist: Living at JoAnn’s? It is 100% Anti-pilling Acrylic. I would be curious as to what you think about it and do a comparison between it and you Premier love ☺️ Keep up the good work 🥰👏🏽👍🏽🧶
Thanks again for a good review. I found I really like the Turkish yarn too. It's the softer yarns alot of time. I am excited to try more premier yarns, the one I did try I love! Thanks bunches ⚘🌸
Hi Jennifer, back in the day when I learned to knit which was before crocheting. the knit stitch went in front of the needle and purl was from the right behind the needle . You way different than the way I was taught. I heard there was a new way of knitting so maybe thats what your doing. I just might have to dig out my needles. Yes I bought new ones recently. 😉
I was thinking about your comment about knitters comments about your knitting… I was a crocheter before I learned to knit too. And I also knitted like you. In the back. Then I wanted to knit a sweater and I finished it and my stitches were all twisted from knitting in the back loop. I had an amazing knitting teacher. And she showed me the difference to straighten out my knit stitch. Not that knitters are being snotty , well they can be but there are knit stitch patterns that call for knitting in the back loop then what do u do? Just trying to help. Knitting is hard and you rock
I know how to knit it the front loop. I chose not too. And helpful comments are cool. But telling someone watching them knit makes you sick to your stomach. Not cool. And that's what I have been dealing with.
@@CinnamonStitches people suck, I’m so sorry, all your trying to do is share your love of yarn and the yarn craft. You do it amazingly. I love just listening to your stories. I may not be making the tutorial you are putting on but I’ll knit or crochet along to your stories. My first knitting project. I threw across the room and cried and didnt pick knitting back up for years until (I was a science teacher before I retired) I was sitting with my kids in home room and one of my freshman was knitting and I figured it that kid could knit so could I. And I started making scarves. I made a million till I got brave enough to take a knitting class. And I’ve been knitting ever since. So yeah knitting it hard and I have found knitters to be a bit snobby in general. Love ya girl, keep being awesome
I made a sizable purchase from Premiers Yarn not too long ago and have been completely dissappointed. Their prices are not "cheap" and my shipping costs were almost $65.00 Shipping was actually the same as the yarn itself. But I heard all the hipe and wanted to try it. I ordered 5 different blues to make a blanket. The colors are not as depicted on their website, I have had one skein of yarn that had a big blob of twisted yarn in it (separate from the other yarn) just ot weight out correct. and each of the yarns (based on color) are different a thicknesses, even though it is all the Ever Soft..,. It untwist constantly. I have been crocheting for 50 years and I have never experienced this before. The only thing I can give it is I love the sheen. Even us old dogs can learn.
I am loving these comparison reviews you are doing! I have those really short ChiaoGoo tips. Do you like yours? I found it difficult to hold on to the shortie tips. I do love my ChiaoGoo circular needle sets. My sweet husband has gifted me all the metal sets.
Ugh yarn barf😕 Why for all that is yarnie can't we have a easy find center pull 🙄 Thanks for the comparison. I am not a huge Walmart fan but the only other option locally is Joann's.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been using premiers anti pilling for my nieces and nephews blankets. I will be switching to the mainstay for the rest of the blankets I have to make. I bought some of the mainstay from China and I really don't like it. As a matter of fact I donated all that I had. I haven't bought any in years. Until next time.
Thank you for doing both knit and crochet swatches. Do you prefer knitting to crochet, or vice versa? I started with knit and did only that but then started crochet and now I find it hard going back to knit because crochet is just so much simpler, to me.
Is there a recommendation as to which side to get start your center pull? Maybe just me but I find less barf if I start from the opposite side of the end tucked in with the outside yarn. I hate huge barfs, small ones are ok that use up fast. Isn't most things made in China you could say, inferior?
Yaa!!!! I have a Walmart close to where I live!! I'm off to see the yarn!!!! I'm off to see the yarn!!! The wonderful anti pilling yarrrrrn!! Ok so I'm just off its partially the new meds and yes it's partially just me but shhhh don't tell anyone!!!! I'm 57 and I'm gonna goof off as much as possible.

It’s nice to know that Walmart is carrying some nicer yarn. I can’t always buy more expensive yarn so it’s good to find an alternative. Thank you for sharing your review.
Another great review. So good to compare yarns that most ppl have access to. Thanks again, Jenn.
I've found that Turkish yarn is very soft and squishy. It doesn't matter what brand.
Facts. That is why Michael’s switched from PRC to Turkey. I wish Yarnspirations would do the same for their RH imported from China fibers.
Thank you for this review! I could sit and watch you knit all day! It relaxes me! You are a star!!
In the rhythm of the needles is music for the soul
I'm having a beautiful day because I get to watch you
I’m glad you were having a good day. I am for the most part, as well. I also love making hats. My favorite thing to do. Thank for your reviews, they help immensely.
Hi Jennifer I hope you and the family are well. Thank you for sharing, it was very interesting. Have a beautiful day xxx
Thank you for sharing the information about the Mainstay anti- peel 🧶
I love watching you knit!
I love that you take the time show how each yarn works up. I love watching you while I crochet. You have made so many beautiful projects. Thank you so much 💖
Loving these reviews! Keep an eye out for the Mainstay *Sparkle* Acrylic Yarn…it is gorgeous!! My Walmart had 5 colors, a teal, rose, silver, lavender and taupe and they’re stamped OEKO-TEX approved and made in Turkey. I’m impressed!
Ohhhhhh - sparkle! Yes!!
My Walmart only has the silver, black & red, wish they had more colors of all the mainstay
I was just wondering if it was the IEKO-TEX. Thanks for mentioning it.
Yep, love it
Brought a friend to Dr.'s appt sitting in parking lot while waiting watching you and crocheting, it's a little bit chilly this morning but a beautiful day so far. 10:30am in PA.
Love the review. I will definitely get some of the Mainstay anti pilling. I have used the regular Mainstay and I really like it. I like the varigated black and the varigated pink.
Thank you for this video. I haven't purchased Walmart's Mainstay yarn thinking it wasn't high quality. I will now be sure to check it out. Gracias :)

You do a wonderful job comparing yarn, prices, knitting samples and crocheting samples. I haven’t seen anyone else do this.
Thank you. I’m taking notes 😊 because I forget when I get to shopping for yarn. Love the comparisons.
Raining here. Thank you for sharing. It's cool I'm able to get to walmart more often. Usually not able to buy on . My day is okay.
I appreciate your yarn reviews Jennifer!!
Walmart has increased how many Mainstay colors. Glad you did this review.
I always bought yarn based on weight and color, but now I’m starting to pay more attention to the feel and how easy it is to use. Your sample reviews are very helpful. 🤗 from Florida 🌴

I luv this yarn 🧶 they need more colors glad your doing these comparisons
I have not been to walmart since the shut downs started, I go to small stores or order online.
My Walmart yarn department has went down hill since they remolded, about half the amount and very little of the store brand. I love Premier yarns.
The Walmart yarn is actually gonna work fine for me. I plan on only using it as a base to help making amigurumi with plush yarn easier by acting as a guide. The anti-pilling yarn is to make sure when I frog it doesn't cause as many issues.
I love the review. Knitting is as much fun as crocheting. I have gone back to knitting more than usual especially if I have time.

Thanks for the review. Have not seen it at any of the Walmarts near me, but will keep an eye out.
Have a great day.
Stay safe, stay healthy.
I can only hope the walmart here will have that yarn in stock. I use mainstay often because it is what i can afford. Thank you for this video.
Oh the anti pilling mainstays is definitely luxurious feeing compared to the regular mainstays, im planning on buying a lot more. It’ll make really beautiful fair isle projects
Late for the review but I enjoyed it. I didn't know Walmart had Anti-piling yarn. I have to give it a try .
I loooove the Premier, my absolute favorite. It is also the tangliest yarn I’ve ever worked with. Still love it though
Nice I purchase some yarns at Walmart. Some of the prices on better brands are out of my budget at times. I love that you are comparing. Blessed day to you.🦜

I don't have the patience to deal with the skein flipping around if I use the yarn from the outside lol. Everyone is different :D

It’s a lot easier if you leave longer beginning tabs💞
Loving the comparison videos
Oh, before I forget... hobby lobby has ani-pill acrylic yarn too
Good review, thanks.
I love the sound of clicking needles too.
I just noticed you knit through the back loop.
Love your yarn comparisons!
Thank you for these reviews they are very helpful.
Good morning 😃
I, really appreciate you doing these yarn reviews!!!😊
I love my wind chimes but I can't knit I learned several years ago but never actually made anything
Thanks again for a good review. I found I really like the Turkish yarn too. It's the softer yarns alot of time. I am excited to try more premier yarns, the one I did try I love! Thanks bunches ⚘🌸
Awesome review. I haven't tried the mainstay anti-pill yet but def will be. I agree, yarns do work up diff btw knit and crochet. TFS 💜
I'm going to have to check out Walmart near me. Normally they don't have much. Thank you so much for this review.
Thank you! ❤

yarn
Thanks for the review! From what I have heard they just need to get some more colors, then Mainstay yarns will be a serious contender! 💜
Hi cinnamon thank for sharing with every body how are you doing today I am doing fine today stay safe 💙💙💙
Good morning…..☀️
It is interesting that you knit through the back loop. What do you do when a pattern ask you to knit through the back loop?

I am having a wonderful 65th birthday.
Love the feel of it, however it's thicker than a 4 weight to me...quite bulkier.

Thank you for doing both knit and crochet swatches. Do you prefer knitting to crochet, or vice versa? I started with knit and did only that but then started crochet and now I find it hard going back to knit because crochet is just so much simpler, to me.
It depends on the day. Some days I only want to crochet, some days I only want to knit
This review is great. Thanks
Walmart sells Premier yarn aswell now
love the reviews
Nice review!! Thank you!!!🧶🧶🥰🥰
Also only a few colors in store
Is there a benefit to using the center pull? I always just pull from the outside and avoid the yarn barf
For me it's just easier. The skien stays where it's put instead of rolling around.. and it comes out easier so I can crochet faster.
Is there a recommendation as to which side to get start your center pull? Maybe just me but I find less barf if I start from the opposite side of the end tucked in with the outside yarn. I hate huge barfs, small ones are ok that use up fast. Isn't most things made in China you could say, inferior?
Yes most times if you center pull opposite from the outer wrap, where it's tucked in, you will find center pull
i didn't even know mainstays made anti pilling acrylic. Guess i haven't been to wally world for a while
I take yarn from the outside and then cake it. I can’t stand yarn barf.
There’s a technic for yarn barf and the minimization of it.
Guess what? I have a new grand child on the way! So guess i'll be looking for ideas. No idea if boy or girl too early yet. But whoopy!
Congratulations!
And just like that I need to go to Walmart 😂
😄 “👌👍🏼 “ ✌️
