if you ever do a part 2, you should do the michaels brand loops & threads. also i really appreciate how you added swatches or examples because i'm a visual person 🥲
I finished making your corset top yesterday and its awesome! You are so talented and the video was so easy to follow. I’m definitely going to continue watching your videos!
I find it very interesting that you list the sheepy smell as a negative. I love that smell! I actively buy minimally processed, undyed yarn so that I have that smell and the feel of the lanolin on my hands. Just proves that different people like different things 😊
Totally agree with Lily's Sugar and Cream! I specifically use them for amigurumi for that exact reason; they stay stiff and hold their shape really well. I'm currently using Aunt Lydia's Classic 10 for a garment right now, and it is a bit fiddly, but I think once the garment starts working up, the stitch looks really pretty
When it comes to the friends cotton sizes 8/4, 8/6 and 8/8 here is the thing. 8/4 is super fine slightly thicker than lace, great for detailed work, small projects. 8/6 is my fav it is fine weight 2 best in overall, I like this one the most. Not too thick not too thin. 8/8 is weight 3, little rough compared to the previous sizes, the colors look just tiny bit dull to me even tho its the same yarn. And the candies are cherry flavored so dont worry at all to taste them. They are legit candies. Just something small, nice extra for customers. About the factory knots, I have noticed this issue but no word about this 😅
my personal fav yarn is Alize Cotton Gold, it's i think a Turkish brand but omg is it amazing. I use it for majority of my projects and it is 55% Cotton 45% Acrylic. The colour range is wide and it has very few defects in terms of colour and factory knots
I´m surprised you didn´t mention Knit Picks or Wool Warehouse for some extremely affordable yarns. And Purl Soho is also a great company that has a tad pricier yarns, but the quality and color selection of a number of their lines - outstanding.
Linen yarn won’t “shed” if it’s good quality. I’m wearing a sweater I knit from Baltic linen, and while it’s got its tricky aspects, it never sheds . I suspect that short staple length linen fiber probably sheds a lot, but it’s not “the good stuff”. The yarn to knit the sweater was around $50 4 years ago- not that expensive to get good quality vs junk.
i love hobbii, i can easly get it to norway and they got alot of floffy plush yarn that feels amazing. the sultan yarns are also a amazing cotten cake whit nice colour gradiant. but i do agree on the quality issus, i talked to costumer servic alot about Happy chunky dobbell becuse i find spots thats wrong dyied or looks wrong in colour, they love getting feedback if there is a issu and they wil try to send u new skines or give u back the money wile u get to keep the yarn thats a little wrong . love the costumer servic that ansers in 24h
Hi, as a crocheter I really like your videos, even if I don't do the projects I watch and I really like what you do. At the moment I'm learning knitting, I only know how to make dishclothes and honestly I'm a little tired of only doing that for my beginner projects. I would like to do other nice projects to improve (like I did for crochet before) can you make a video tutorial knitting project? thank you ❤❤❤
The only time I had problems with a yarn from hobbii was with their Acacia yarn, which is this soft cotton, polyacryl mix. Its a menace to crochet with! This strands splits everytime you grab it with the hook and some of the cakes have these knots that are not pretty. And they are around 5 Euros, which is for a poor student like me very expensive.
I find that the Red Heart Super Saver is super stiff and can be scratchy to wear which isn't ideal for garments - even after using various methods of softening like soaking in conditioner. For garments, I'd recommend yarns that have nice drape, but if you want a yarn that has great structure, Red Heart can be a good option. I'd recommend either Lion Brand or the Bernat Softee yarn for garments over the Red Heart Super Saver
Do you have a pattern for the "off the shoulder bow top?" Ive had a mastectomy, so with those (they were GIANT) boobs gone, I can wear off the shoulder!
I loooove the hobbii candies lol best part about ordering from them
LOL maybe I'll try it one day - I just don't really like candies in general!
In the US and I've never received candies when ordering from hobbii :(
@@Catladycatherine i'm in the US and received my package recently with a candy inside from them 🥹

I dont have any of these yarn brands where i live but i love listening and learning about different yarns

The hobbii candies are tasty. Signed, someone with no self control.

loooove alize
checking in to say the hobbii candies are bomb. they are either cherry or strawberry and the are rly rly good.

The top you're wearing is cute!
Honestly I find the 100% acrylic lion brand to be sooo soft and the colors are beautiful
I haven't tried the acrylic lion brand, but I have really enjoyed their cotton line!
For the Friends cotton yarn, the 8/4 is closer to dk. They have it listed as fingering but like you said, it’s too thick for that.
28:08 “don’t tell my partner” 😂😂😂
I would LOVE to see a comparison of all the different caron cakes lol

I love a good review video!
How the heck do I make garments that don't have holes that will make the clothing indecent?! I'm a beginner, but I just want to know...

Just wondering, why don't you recommend Red Heart for garments?

When will you upload your dream dress crochet tutorial…eagerly waiting for that
I love your top💘💘💘
