Hey Crystal! I've been a crocheter for 50yrs and a kintter for 40yrs. I don't wear sweaters! I can't stand to wear any yarn, wool or whatever! I kint and give it away. I just recently started crocheting again when I found your channel. Since then I have made 7 of your killer queen shawls, and many others, just since may. I have to say that when I used a Caron Cloud cake I was in Love! It doesn't bother me at all, Finally, I can wear something I made!
I've been crocheting for 47 years. I've probably crocheted a couple of thousand blankets, if not more and I still do not have a crocheted blanket that is my very own. The sheer weight is too much and my skin is so sensitive that it hurts if it rubs on it for any length of time. One day I hope to find a lightweight yarn than feels like a cloud puff to sleep under and won't hurt my skin. Until then, I'll just enjoy making them and giving them away to spread joy to others.
Crystal, I don’t think it’s necessary that you buy every single color to do a yarn review. that is a large investment like you said. we just appreciate everything you do for us and you do so much. I’d say only buy one or two colors to show us a review and then we can look online for the colors choices. Love your channel so much. Thank you for all you do. 😃Donna Cooper😃
Hi, Crystal. I appreciate all your yarn reviews. As for me, you never have to purchase the entire color line of any yarn or yarn type. Whatever yarns YOU choose to try, use only one color yes, more economical - for sure. I will be grateful to hear your review on them.
Only buy one- I think we are all interested in how the yarns naturally strip(without color control), how they work up, stitch definition, frogging, and washing/drying. Just show the colors online ( easy to see colors). Love you!
I am new to crocheting, and I am making a blanket in the Caron latte cake. It feels so nice. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do. As a learner, I really appreciate your tutorials, lives, and research and opinions on everything from wool to crochet hooks and stitches. Thank you🙏😊
My sweet Crystal, no need to purchase every color even buying just one to show ash’s review the yarn itself ( fibers and how it feels) is perfectly fine. I’m sure everyone gets to the stores here and there and can see the colors for themselves as well as look them up online . We appreciate you so much for all you do but we definitely don’t want you to spend money on getting every color because it’s not necessary! Thank you for sharing ! I’m excited about the cloud cakes and Anniversary cakes especially! Again thanks for sharing my sweet adorable friend! 💙😘🥰
I love it when you buy yarn. Especially when I'm sitting here trying to (slowllllly) crochet myself my first cardigan. I'm super sized, not a fabulous crocheter and I'm pretty sure this sweater is going to take me at least 12-15 years to finish. Thanks for giving me something other than "Oxford Grey" to look at for awhile. 😂
I like you and thought these were gorgeous looking at it on the cake. But these seem to be one that you're not sure which pattern for you because the colorway stops and starts in odd places in your pattern of the two colorways I bought when they first came out just trying to find something that would look nice
I agree with the masses! Just buy one ball/cake/skein/hank of yarn to run through the paces and review the rest of the colors in this online format. This was fun!
Getting 1 or 2 sounds great! It’s nice to see the actual product in hand, but, with the dang price of yarn…showing us the rest of the colours like this is perfect.
You are informing us of new yarns. Thanks for doing that. Even, you want to purchase some of those yarns for a live review, wait for sale because all prices are very expensive.
I don't think it's necessary to get each color to review the yarn., I love that you review it at all. One or two at the most and then we can go and look at the colors online or in the store. You do so much for us already!
I think with most yarns u can buy just one. The times I've noticed that it matters to show each one is with Ice Yarns. There have been quite a few that look very different on the Ice website than when u show it. I've bought a few I liked after u showed it and have crossed a few off my list when u showed the"real" color. Anything u do tho is appreciated. Thx Crystal. 😊
Actually, now that I think about it, u cud always just do one color of Ice Yarns too. I'd b able to translate the difference in the colors u show to what the difference wud b for other colors of the same yarn. Save ur hard-earned money. Just buy one. 😉
I love this format of show and tell! I watch all of your videos when I get the notification, but this was a very nice surprise!! Thank you for sharing all this with us!!
The Tom Daley yarn reminded me of another professional athlete who crochets. My brother recently told me about Maurice Greene. He's an MMA fighter who crochets and has earned the nickname Crochet Boss.
Oh Crystal, please buy just one. We can see the colors in store or on line if we want to possibly buy it. I just love and respect what you have to say because I trust you. ❤
Yes, please do more reviews with just buying one or two of the colors! We love your wringer test reviews and don't need you to buy all the colors!! I definitely want to see how the new yarns work up in different stitches. I'd love to hear your project recommendations for them and why you picked the projects... like how the striping would play out or because of the stitch definition or lack of, the fiber content and any other reason you can think of. I know many of us have big stashes of yarns and need help deciding what to do with them! I do LOVE your big haul unboxing videos, but a video where you take a few really popular non-basic yarns and show us swatches and talk about what to make with them woukd be AMAZING!!! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! 😘🥰💕💝 We love you so much!!
Hi Crystal! Yes you can do that no need in buying yarn that you aren’t interested in… that’s large investment to buy all the colors… we can see it on the screen and if want to see it up close I can buy some as well. Thank you for all you do for the yarny community ❤
I do not think it's necessary for you to buy every color unless its something you really want to have every color of. We can get online ourselves and check the colors out or you can do what you did here and show us on video. Thank you for your willingness to share your thoughts and opinions on all the yarns! I appreciate it since my yarn budget is pretty small. 😊
Hi Crystal, I love watching videos with new yarns ❤! I love all the new colors you are viewing. Cinnamon Swirl looks amazing. I have never owned an anniversary cake , those look amazing too! The blue dusk is gorgeous. Rainbow anything is beautiful. Birch is my favorite too I think 🤔 😊. I love them all. I am a yarn freak 😅… just ignore me over here in my own little yarn world… dreaming of trying them all one day.. thanks again for another fun video.
Buy one! We can look at the colors online. Yes, I like to see it in the video, but honestly, you are one of the few people that buy the yarn yourself and don't have people send you samples to review. It's all good!!
I think we have such respect for your purchases and review and the ringer test. Lol please only buy what you can. I did enjoy this style video of browsing the new yarns and colors and hearing your initial thoughts
Why am I trying to keep my cool at work right now. Your reaction to the Bernat Felted was the same as mine, but you were more kind. Lol. That “ooooh” took me out!!😂😂
Just finished a blanket from one of your Anniversary cakes tutorial in the same green color you did the tutorial with last year. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. It was soft and easy to work with and I usually color control too but I didn't feel the need to with this yarn and pattern. My daughter-in-law LOVED it! the color, the, softness and the pattern. I was able to get a 56 by 72 blanket out of 2 balls and had enough leftover to make her an infinity scarf . I may have to get 2 more balls this year, lol. thanks Crystal! Will post photo on Facebook group.
Love the new format. I agree with others, just buy the ones that will give us the best reviews. We appreciate how you always get the different pallettes to show us, but that is such an investment for you just to turn around and give it away.
Well, well I just found out the things that goes with reviewing different yarns and that I really thank you for doing. I wouldn't spend $7.19 for one skein of yarn regardless who's name is on it, the way the economy is now, I will try to remember to watch your review. Thanks again for all you do.
I like the idea of only buying one ball and evaluating it while showing the other colors available. You would be able to test more yarns this way. You could always just crochet a hat for donation with it so it doesn’t go to waste.
That Tom Daley yarn is priced out of most peoples comfortable price point. Wowsers!!! I like this way of showing us yarn. If you choose to get just one ball and use that and your computer to show us the rest of colours is fine by me too. That way you can spend more on mystery boxes and yarn kits lol
I immediately ordered three cakes of the Caron Macchiato in the color Boundless . Like you, I lean toward browns, golds, etc., and all earth tones. This yarn is exquisite and screams fall to me. I am currently at a loss as to what to make with it, but I do know it has to be something very special. 5 big stars from me. And, yes I do see the similarity to Roll With It which is another favorite of mine.
They're all gorgeous colors! The anniversary cake...Nah, too much money! Definitely only buy one & not the whole color palette! We can go see it if we want. I will have to run to Michael's though. Ty Crystal! 🤎🤎🤎
Ok I haven’t tried any of those yarns, but….I Googled Tom Daley’s Olympic sweater and holy moly!! What a beauty!! The Macchiato Cakes look AMAZING! Might need to try those out.

I love ❤❤the caron cloud cakes!!! ❤❤
Carron cloud cakes are some of my favorite yarn.
Yes, yes, yes, only buy one or two. That's enough to learn about it!!
Thanks for all you do ❤

I like the new format. No need to spend so much money on yarn just to show us
Totally agree.
Agree❤
Yes, agree!
It's nice to see the yarn but it is not necessary to get all the colors. Most important is the way it works up so 1 color you like is the way to go.
We only need one
those are pretty, I like what you used in the poncho and shawl
Omg that slush one is gorgeous ❤❤❤❤❤ Rain is beautiful ❤❤
This is much better cause it always makes me feel bad that you spend so much money and never get to use it for your self.❤
I think buying just one or two colors would be just fine. I've watched others do it that way.
I agree! One or two colors would be fine for a review.
I am new to crocheting, and I am making a blanket in the Caron latte cake. It feels so nice. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do. As a learner, I really appreciate your tutorials, lives, and research and opinions on everything from wool to crochet hooks and stitches. Thank you🙏😊

That cinnamon swirl!!! 1 is enough for a review. I liked the way you did this one.
Thank you for telling it like it is and always speaking your mind. I so appreciate you!
I don’t think you ever need to buy all of the colors to do a review. ❤️❤️❤️
💯💯

❤❤❤I love gray. Every color goes with gray, even GRAY❤❤ 1 row at a time. Goid luck
❤❤❤
@@kathyw141 Thank you! I like grey too. I wanted black but I can't use super dark colors for long periods of time.
Lion Brand is out of their minds. If I want to spend $20+ on yarn, I will go to an LYS to support them. Serenity was definitely my favorite
Thanks Chrystal ❤❤❤
Just buying one is good as well!
I agree with the masses! Just buy one ball/cake/skein/hank of yarn to run through the paces and review the rest of the colors in this online format. This was fun!

Hi. Love the new colors .
I love the rainbow… darker for me✨
Reviewing one is absolutely great! We would definitely get the gist of what it’s like!
My son bought me my first Caron skein a couple weeks ago and I love them!!! I want to try the cloud cake so bad!!!
Thank you, always appreciate yarn reviews. One color is perfect for you to put through the ringer. No need to order the whole color pallet.
Serenity & Whisper are going to be my new favorite ones in the Caron Cakes🤗🧶💝
Yes it definitely looks like roll with it melange which I’m using now I love the feel of that yarn! It looks like a light 4 weight to me.
For sure one or two colours is just fine. I like to see how it works up!❤
You are informing us of new yarns. Thanks for doing that. Even, you want to purchase some of those yarns for a live review, wait for sale because all prices are very expensive.
I don't think it's necessary to get each color to review the yarn., I love that you review it at all. One or two at the most and then we can go and look at the colors online or in the store. You do so much for us already!
I can't image buying all the colors necessary. The important thing is how it feels and how it works up. This is a great video!
Thank you Crystal for the informative review.
I think with most yarns u can buy just one. The times I've noticed that it matters to show each one is with Ice Yarns.

I like this way of showing us the new yarns. Buying one color to use for reviewing is the way to go.
I love this video it's a great way to see the yard and have you talking about it 1ball would be enough you don't have to buy all the colors
The Tom Daley yarn reminded me of another professional athlete who crochets. My brother recently told me about Maurice Greene. He's an MMA fighter who crochets and has earned the nickname Crochet Boss.
Don’t stress over it. It’s all good. We totally understand. Don’t even think about it. I agree with you. ❤️🙏🙏
I'm grateful you bring us yarn, I'd be happy with yarn in all bagoday colours, you do what us best for you and your wallet xx
Oh Crystal, please buy just one. We can see the colors in store or on line if we want to possibly buy it. I just love and respect what you have to say because I trust you. ❤

Hi Crystal! Yes you can do that no need in buying yarn that you aren’t interested in… that’s large investment to buy all the colors… we can see it on the screen and if want to see it up close I can buy some as well. Thank you for all you do for the yarny community ❤
Love how you did this video Crystal! Thanks! 💘
Crystal, you are so honest with your reviews, please buy what you are comfortable with buying.
If it doesn't call to you then don't buy it or definitely don't buy all the colors. ❤
Amen! Preach it sister, Preach it! Gold medal or not! Don’t put $ in the plate!
I do not think it's necessary for you to buy every color unless its something you really want to have every color of.

I love your review style. One color per new yarn is all you need to make for good content, and good advice.
Cinnamon Swirls are my favorite. I’m so happy they’ve made more colors!!!! Made my season!
I think we have such respect for your purchases and review and the ringer test. Lol please only buy what you can. I did enjoy this style video of browsing the new yarns and colors and hearing your initial thoughts
I think that’s totally fine to only get one color. And this format is great also for showing new yarns!❤️
One is fine with me. You don't need to buy every color. Thanks Crystal ❤
Only buying one color and showing the other colors like you did on this video is great!!!
Just buy one and see if itsworth buying the whole pallette. We can check out the colors like youre doing now. Perfect.
I think one would be enough to make a review on it .
Ohhh I like the cinnamon swirls
Remember if buy the small caron cakes bulky, it would cost more to get enough to equal what is in the Anniversary cakes plus less sewing in ends.
OMG, i aughed so much at your reaction to the close-up of bernat felted yarn😂😂
I can't wait for you to receive whatever you ordered and review it!!❤
I really like this new yarn format....very imformative and I really like the close ups.
Just buy one of the colors. Love what you do.
Why am I trying to keep my cool at work right now. Your reaction to the Bernat Felted was the same as mine, but you were more kind. Lol. That “ooooh” took me out!!😂😂
Thanks Crystal! Yarn shopping with you is always so fun (and informative). Looking forward to the yarn reviews 🤗🧶
It is nice to see the new yarns . I love the Caron Coloroma Halo colors . Love and Hugs .
I’m using Caron Cloud cakes right now for a shawl for my mother in law for Christmas. I love this yarn! Literally a cloud 👍🏻
Just one color is great! It will give all the info needed about the yarn. Thanks!
Just finished a blanket from one of your Anniversary cakes tutorial in the same green color you did the tutorial with last year. I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. It was soft and easy to work with and I usually color control too but I didn't feel the need to with this yarn and pattern. My daughter-in-law LOVED it! the color, the, softness and the pattern.

LOVE your yarn reviews!!!!!
⭐️❤️💕💜🧶💛
No need to buy all the colors. You test one out for us and we can make our own choices. We really appreciate all the work you do to educate us.
Absolutely buy just one there would be no reason not to just try it.
Those are beautiful color combinations 😊. Sluch one would look good in a beenie. Will go with your top you have on.
Thankyou so much for getting back to me so soon.please be blessed
Crystal, one is fine. We can see the colors on-line. Thx for all you do.
Just one colour is absolutely fine to see how the texture works, the construction weight etc
Well, well I just found out the things that goes with reviewing different yarns and that I really thank you for doing. I wouldn't spend $7.19 for one skein of yarn regardless who's name is on it, the way the economy is now, I will try to remember to watch your review. Thanks again for all you do.
That dreamy color Jam looks like my calico without the strong black. She passed last monday. Thank you I want all the colors of yarn
The loops and threads - marveled 5 weight could make rugs and such.
I like the idea of only buying one ball and evaluating it while showing the other colors available. You would be able to test more yarns this way. You could always just crochet a hat for donation with it so it doesn’t go to waste.
Great Review. Yes, stop buying all the colors. Only buy what you like and what you will make something out of🎉🎉🎉
Man I love that one. That is Bag-O-Day it is also Sandra all day.
Thank you for your reviews and don't break the bank. You just buy what you like and what speaks to you.
That Tom Daley yarn is priced out of most peoples comfortable price point. Wowsers!!! I like this way of showing us yarn. If you choose to get just one ball and use that and your computer to show us the rest of colours is fine by me too. That way you can spend more on mystery boxes and yarn kits lol
We appreciate all your reviews. I don’t think you need to buy all the colors of all the new yarns. ❤
One color is fine. No need for all colors.
This was really fun! I felt like we were shopping together online!
Just get one or two until you know you love and want others. We can see the colors online too.
Thanks again for your honest opinion. Love some of the New colors.
Some pretty great new colors.
The new colors are sooooo pretty
I immediately ordered three cakes of the Caron Macchiato in the color Boundless . Like you, I lean toward browns, golds, etc., and all earth tones. This yarn is exquisite and screams fall to me. I am currently at a loss as to what to make with it, but I do know it has to be something very special. 5 big stars from me. And, yes I do see the similarity to Roll With It which is another favorite of mine.
I like the way you showing us on the computer!
They're all gorgeous colors! The anniversary cake...Nah, too much money! Definitely only buy one & not the whole color palette! We can go see it if we want. I will have to run to Michael's though. Ty Crystal! 🤎🤎🤎
One color is fine.
Ok I haven’t tried any of those yarns, but….I Googled Tom Daley’s Olympic sweater and holy moly!! What a beauty!! The Macchiato Cakes look AMAZING! Might need to try those out.
I am making an alpine stitch throw out of the cloud cakes in sandbar dune. It is soooo soft!
