    “Robustness” is a good word for the fabric structure for a type of yarn as I find most Caron yarns.

    Hi Gary, love what Hank is wearing, it's so gorgeous! What very pretty yarns. I do love the Red Heart Retro Stripe. Can't wait to see what you create with these pretty yarns. Pixel is a cutie and how exciting that Pixel got to have a play date with her sister.

    Love the opening and closing of your podcast today. Pixel is such a cutie and when she started giving Chad the puppy kisses I had to smile. She’s so cute playing with her sister. Reminds me of my dog playing with his cousin..they play the same way. Liked seeing your JoAnn’s yarn haul and it surprised me that your favorite was the brightly colored one. I think I like spring colors the best with summer colors coming in second.🥰

    • @urbanyarn
      @urbanyarn  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi Joyce - thanks for your comment and letting me know what colours you gravitate to. (I'm finding that I've switched up my colour palette recently - I think it maybe the effects of summer).

Blomma Square or Archway Square for pillows, or Time Traveller's Blanket, Spellbinding Blanket, Heinz Blanket, Cheni...there are so many great designers, it's hard to choose. I think I have a never-ending pattern list .🙃😃

    I always coveted the Retro Stripes 🤤🤤then, I managed to get some when Joann started shipping to the UK 😁😁 Unfortunately, over 12 months later, it is still sat on the shelf because I can't find the right project for it 😅😅 As they no longer do international shipping, I wouldn't be able to replace it 😓😓 so, maybe, it will just have to remain in pride of place on the shelf so I will still be able to look at it in real life 🤣🤣 From what you were saying about the Mandala, I'm wondering if they have been playing around with it because none of my normal Mandalas are fuzzy and I've use quite a few over the years, nothing would surprise me though!! Don't these people realise, 'If it aint broke, don't fix it!!!' Thanks for sharing your haul with us, have a lovely weekend xxx

      Hi Brbrben - we could look for patterns together to use up the Retro Stripes. Granted, I only have 2 skeins so my project will only be a small one (or be a small part of a bigger project).

      @@urbanyarn Hi Gary, if I find anything, I will let you know. I think I have 4 balls, but I look forward to seeing what you come up with for your 2 balls, I bet you come up with something before I do, hahaha. To be honest, I very often fall in love with a yarn and then can't find the right project for it, I firmly believe that some yarns are better for knitting than for crochet. Maybe I can find something to do with it using my circular knitting machines, hmmmmm, might be worth seeing what videos are about for that. Thanks for your reply, take care, Barbara xx

    K&C colors sometimes bleed, so you might want to give it a bath in vinegar first before you wash it. :D

      Oh - that's not good. Perhaps I don't make a baby item with it. It's a nice colour (perhaps to be used on an item that won't go into anyone's mouth).

    I tried the Big Twist Party Yarn a while ago and found it very splitty. Maybe I received a bad batch? One of my favorite yarns is Mandala. I know they have come out with new colorways but haven't bought any yet. Enjoy ur weekend

    • @urbanyarn

      I did have some splitting too - but then I grabbed it from the other end and didn't have that problem moving forward (If it split on me from the centre-pull - then I grabbed it from the outside of the ball).

    Joann just went through a bankruptcy reorganization and went from being a publicly traded company back to a privately owned company. That was probably part of the process to rein things in.

    I wonder if the differences you've noticed are due to the Joann Fabrics bankruptcy and restructuring? That would be my guess. Since the bankruptcy is resulting in restructuring, I'd also guess that they will eventually service Canada again. ❤
