    Im glad ypu showed these two yarns together to show how much the same they are. I ordered the Melange from Red Heart. I ordered 6 skeins. It comes 3 and 3 separate in plastic. Its very pretty and i ordered the color you are showing, Catwalk i think it is. I would Love to oder the other one just to compare as you did to see which i prefer but to order only one skein would probably cost a fortune 😢 Have made anything with either yarn t9 compare them, i would be so happy 😊 if you did. Thank you so much again❤ Maryanne from Monterey and Salinas. CA❤

      I wanted to note where both were made, but Cookie is supplied to Hobbii by "Jorgën" and I couldn't find a "made in" country on their info anywhere!
      But it's totally the same ;)

    Thank you for doing a review comparison on these . Ordered the Cookie last year from Hobbii when it was on sale . Definitely have noticed a lot of the yarns I love are available in the US under brand names I know. Research is strongly recommended before buying anywhere. 😏
    I’m a new subscriber, looking forward to getting to know you . 🤗👍👍👍😁❤️

    I just put in an order from Hobbii for some cookie yarns. They are on sale. I think I paid around 7.50 for a skein which is a great deal.it's not surprising that a yarn is put out under different names. The yarns are made in Turkey, India or China.

  • @normasimpkins65

    Hi, newbie to your channel here. Awesome comparison. I love in Canada and ordered the cookie for a project I wanted to do. Wanted the Cookie yarn for the man's poncho from BOD Crochet. I had to buy some red heart to go with the Cookie yarn to add thickness. It took 2 1/2 months to get my order. I can go to Wal-Mart and get Red Heart Melange. I don't care of the price difference, but once you take the cost, exchange rate plus shipping into consideration the cost is probably even. Not to mention when I want a yarn, I want it now....not 2 1/2 months down the road.

    I'll probably never see these yarns in person but really enjoyed the comparison. As James C Brett and Sirdar/Hayfield is usually what I use being uk, re your lys purchases, what US yarns do they compare to. Never used red heart or premiere so would find it really interesting.

    • @thecrochetwitch
      @thecrochetwitch  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That Sidar Jewel yarn that I got at the LYS is also VERY much like these yarns, if I didn't say so. They even have similar colours!

  • @JHookCrochet
    @JHookCrochet 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hobbii does have names for their colorways, but it Europe it isn't common that the color name is written on the label. If you go to the website, you'll see the names. Same way about the yarn weight - In European standards, it is a bulky yarn. Looks like the Red heart one is pretty much half the amount of the cookie, so going on the assumption they are the same yarn - it makes sense the one from Hobbii will cost more...
    Other than that, yeah, they are quite similar. In terms of colorways they have a few which resemble one other but I think the roll with it have mostly short color changes colorways while cookie also has a few which are long stripes or ombre effects.

    • @thecrochetwitch

      Once I thought about it, the only real difference, yarn-wise between these yarns and Ferris Wheel is the actual colouring! All three are super light roving style. Ferris Wheel is one of my favourite yarns!

    I love the cookie yarn from Hobbii and the yardage is double. I can make an extra large sweater from 2 skeins of cookie plus when they ;have it on sale it is really worth purchasing it . Cost of my sweater was 18.00 US and shipping is only 7.95 US plus faster delivery than most US company’s here in the states. Just sent in another order for one of their yarns.

    It would not surprise me if those companies make that yarn and then use the extra etc. for the cookie etc. 90% of all if from Turkey so isn’t a long shot to think that. They are identical if you as me.

    I like the Cookie yarn from Hobbii and it’s definitely not a 5 weight. I would say that it averages somewhere between a 3 or 4. I’ll have to try the Red Heart.
