Too bad there wasn't a gold like the silver and put that together with the fuzzy yarn and maybe both colors will give pop to one another if you make something. Just a thought 😉
BAG-O-DAY CROCHET & MORE Dear Crystal, I want to thank you for this special yarn review. I’m from Woodhaven and grew up shopping for yarn in Smileys with my grandmother who I love and miss. She knitted for everyone. She moved to Long Island and when she visited she’d come at least once a month for at least 4 days and Smileys was ALWAYS a must for her. My sisters and I cherished her and loved watching her knit. I never got the hang of it but now at 57 I’m a yarnie and love crochet. I wish she were still here so we could talk yarn and just sit together and knit/crochet. Thank you for lifting my spirits. I feel like I got a message from my grams. Much love Liz from Long Island ♥️♥️♥️🧶🧶😢💔
Hey thanks for this v8deo. I haven't ever heard of this company, but a few of those, seem very familiar to me. I order from wish sometimes and a few of those seem like the same yarns I have ordered, under a different name of course.
@@elizabethtumminelli7538 I was from Woodhaven also my grandma ,mom and I would go to Smiley's every weekend to buy yarn.She would make our family a lot of sweaters,hats, and gloves,I miss her so much,When we moved to Long Island we still made a trip back to Woodhaven just for yarn,This brings back so many memories
Never heard of it!!! There’s several more I never heard of until I found you so keep educating us!!! I feel so smart knowing all you’ve taught us so far.
I think the reason many people haven't heard of it is that it was more of a local New York operation. I first heard of them 25 years ago, which is the first time I heard about their hotel sale. But they were around much longer. In that time they closed their brick and mortar store and switched to just internet with annual hotel sales.
I had never heard of Hobium, Herschnerrs, Mary Maxim, Hobii, or any other of these fiber companies until you shared from your channel, now I’m seeing everyone show these various yarns
I've seen Smiley's, but never ordered from them. That last yarn Hank you showed was beautiful! I would love to set up a pop-up tent in your yarn room and camp out dreaming of different yarns, lol 👍 🍁🍃🎃🕷️🎃🍃🍁
I just heard about this yarn company today from an online post. Made my first purchase today a bit nervous because I didn’t get a confirmation email nor did I get an estimated delivery date. But I’m glad I found your unboxing video I know what to expect
I love your unboxing, I think you do a fair analysis of yarn and shipping costs. My favorite yarn is bamboo and or bamboo silk. My favorite colors are sea foam, turquoise, teals royal blues, silver grays and other colors. Now when I go in the stores and I pick up yarns, I smell give them squish test and rub them in my neck and face. Thank you Crystal.
Yay Smileys we love them here in N.Y.! They do a sale in one of the hotels once a year in NYC. Come with a suitcase! Looking forward to going again this year. It's almost that time again.
Awesome unboxing and review. I watch these because I trust your opinion on good yarns to try. I've learned so much from your reviews and tutorials. I love your atmosphere too. Who wouldn't want to be surrounded by yarn, while opening more yarn. 🤗 Thanks Crystal for all you do. You rock!
Crystal whats awesome about the unboxings is you save soooo many people money time energy space and more. by Trying the companies with your money and tying unkniwn yarn types is very selfless. How anyone can think you do anything but be honest helpful and giving. It shows how different everyones temperment is. Have a great day.
Once more, Thank you ever so much for the education. Your ability to share is remarkable! Even though you are talking to a camera, it always feels like you are talking to your friends who are just out of site of the camera. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you so very much Crystal. I love it when you unbox yarn purchased from new companies. I smile the whole way through. Thanks for sharing and always taking the time. Happy unboxing my dear friend 🍁
Keep in mind, manufacturers outside the US/Can, make 50, 100 or 150gm balls. 50gm is less than 2oz. Smaller than sugar & cream cotton. That’s why the prices are great. As always compare yardage & weight.
Hi crystal I just love how excited you get when your unboxing thank you so much for sharing with us I have learnt so much off you about all the different yarn before I started watching you on your channel all I knew was double knit and 4ply so thank you so much your are amazing
Thank you so much. You've got me rubbing and oooowwwwand aaaaaawww over yarn now. I get excited about my kids going to pick up yarn for me. Why my kids go for me that I'm bedridden and I'm not well enough to go myself anymore. But yarn makes me happy and love making stuff to give away to anyone that wants it I have a hard time selling the items I love giving them to people. God bless you crystal and everyone else that reads this.
I love watching you do the unboxing videos.. You are adorable.. I have a daughter same age as you.. I guess that may be why I enjoy watching you..God Bless You.. Good night..
Crystal, thank you for the unboxing. There were yarns and colors that I've never seen before I did enjoy seeing the new colors and learning about the brands. I'm always excited about the box openings.
The yarn is really pretty. I visited their site yesterday. had a few skeins in my cart then saw the $50 limit. Being a senior on a very low fixed income there was no way I could do $50. So I dreamed and emptied the cart. lol so nice to hear you talk about them. Thank you
I just enjoy you all together, whether you are doing a tutorial on how to crochet some item or an unboxing or a comparison of yarns or even shopping, keep up the great work.
I’ve never heard of Smileys before. Thank you for doing another unboxing of a different yarn company. I appreciate your honest opinions. They are very helpful if I decide to order online😊
Thank you so much for your review and honesty!! I love to crochet and don't know much about the different yarns!! I tend to pick up yarn based on the color not how to use them. You are wonderful to watch!!!
Thank you so much, Crystal, for doing a review of this company's yard... I was one of the many who requested via email for you to check out their yarn , so I much appreciate you doing this and sharing all your goodies and the ones that are not goodies, LOL.. I totally agree with that Satine sparkly ribbon yarn as you commented that you could use it with some black yard and make a gorgeous shawl .. I actually did the same thing with a very similar yarn that was also flat with gold sparkles against an ivory color. I combined that with Lion Brand shawl in a cake to make your beautiful Bohemian Nights poncho.. I think I'll be checking this site out as I'd love to try out their basic worsted yarn and the Bernat Satin yarn which I actually prefer over the Caron simply soft .. The Bernat yarn seems a bit softer to me. Thank you again for another great review. We all appreciate that you're always so willing to be our little guinea pig! Much love to you and yours, Crystal! Enjoy your day!
I’ve heard of Smily’s several times over the years but not so much lately. Glad to hear they are still in business. My favorite yarn from your unboxing is the Angora Lux, especially that color! and the Baby Cashmere! I liked the Chloe yarn by Yarn Bee. Thank you again for the videos. They help me tremendously. Yarn purchases are a luxury for me like many others. I like to know what I’m getting so I’m not disappointed!
I love watching your unboxing yarns coz I can't ever get to use them being in another place but when you see, touch and feel the yarn, it's like am doing it too!
Thanks for the unboxing video !! I am amazed at all the different yarn companies there are in this country. Another one to add to my ever growing list. 😊🤗😎
You could make newborn baby hat's or beanie's with the mohair yarn that was in the beginning. Thank you soooooooo much for your yarn review of these beautiful and different kinds of yarn. I've never seen most of these! Love them. I totally agree with you on your thoughts of each skein. ♡♡♡ Thank you once again for doing yarn review! !
Didn't know about these yarns, learned all about different kinds of yarns and how they work up from you, thank you! Looking forward to seeing how these are! God bless!
I really appreciate your honesty!! I've never heard of Smileys so thank you for sharing. I've learned more from you in the past year than I have in my lifetime, I'm in my 50's. So I want you to know that you are the best and I will continue to follow you!!
Hi Crystal, l Love the unboxings, the silver flat yarn was interesting, I have been making scrunchies with a lot of the novelty yarns I have,the silver yarn would make really pretty scrunchies, I've been watching video's of people crocheting necklaces and bracelets with the novelty yarns
Crystal, Thanks for letting us know about Smiley's yarns and all the different yarns. I never heard of them before.They didn't match to me either Crystal.
Enjoyed watching you open and give us your opinion of the Smiley's yarn while I was making vegetable soup this morning. $50 minimum order is a little steep for my budget, but might try it one day. You have a wealth of yarn knowledge and I'm happy you share that with us! 👏❣🤗
The first one would make a great lace shawl or scarf. the harmony that doesn't match could make an interesting sweater or throw. The color changes are interesting. I gotta check Smiley's out. Thank you for the video and reviews.
The first yarn you had out of the box, the mohair can be used alongside with another yarn to add bulk/fluffiness to a garment, alternatively can be used on their own with lsrgd hook to give a lightweight shawl or caplet for eveningwear or cool evenings - great for winter bridalwear too
There is a minimum $50 to order
Too bad there wasn't a gold like the silver and put that together with the fuzzy yarn and maybe both colors will give pop to one another if you make something. Just a thought 😉

Ty for sharing your unboxing Crystal.and great information.
Wow! Blast from my past! In the 70's I would shop in the Smiley's store in Woodhaven NY with my grandmother!
I live in New York and Smileys comes to a hotel in Manhattan and I always stock up great deals!!
Never heard of it!!! There’s several more I never heard of until I found you so keep educating us!!! I feel so smart knowing all you’ve taught us so far.

You make laugh when you really like a yarn. Thanks for showing us a yarn company most of us have never seen.
I had the same experience with Smiley’s. It took FOREVER to get my order, but when I did, it was worth it. I got a silk/wool blend: luscious!!
Jeannie Wright I’ve bought that too. Very nice.
Thank you for showing us this yarn. I have never heard of Smileys. Thank you for sharing.

Thank u Crystal. The $50 minimum and $12.95 shipping will stop me fr shopping with them. Love when you educate us
Thank you Crystal for that unboxing! I had never heard of Smilies.
This was fun. I like your unboxing. there is usually a yarn that I don't know much about. So thank you.
Hi Crystal, you have introduced me to so many new yarn companies. Thank you for your honest reviews. 👍🤗🧶
Thanks for the review, I have never heard of this particular yarn company before, will take a look... Thanks Crystal..
Thanks for the review! I am learning a whole lot about yarns! Thanks for giving your opinion!
Thanks for the new place to find cheap yarn! I will be checking them out for some projects for my family Christmas presents.
@ 16:58. I agree. It does look pretty loose. Pretty color though. The fuzzy yarn doesn’t float my boat. Lol
Another amazing giveaway, Crystal! I've learned alot from you about various yarns! Thank you
Hi Crystal, thanks for sharing. Love unboxings.
The first one would make a great lace shawl or scarf. the harmony that doesn't match could make an interesting sweater or throw. The color changes are interesting. I gotta check Smiley's out. Thank you for the video and reviews.
Wow! Some great deals. Thank you for sharing these yarns and sellers with us. More options for yarns the better!
I love it when you review places and yarns I am unfamiliar with. Now I can shop there with some knowledge from someone I trust!
The first yarn you had out of the box, the mohair can be used alongside with another yarn to add bulk/fluffiness to a garment, alternatively can be used on their own with lsrgd hook to give a lightweight shawl or caplet for eveningwear or cool evenings - great for winter bridalwear too
It is always fun to see new yarn. I will checkout the site. Thank you
Interesting yarns, love your excitement.
