- Hi! I’m Claire, and this is my channel, Woodshed Theory. Here you will find the awkward ramblings of an adult autist. I love being creative and sharing my experiences with you. Subscribe to see more DIYs, Discussions, and Bunnies on your feed!
Today I will be trying out some DOLLAR TREE YARN! As a bargain shopper and a yarn lover I was thrilled to find out that Dollar Tree was selling yarn. This Spring 2021 they continued their partnership with Premier and brought us some lovely chenille yarn to enjoy.
In this video, I will give you my thoughts on the yarn and share its specs with you. I will also show you three projects I worked up from the yarn so you can if this chenille yarn is for you.

![Yarn Snob Reviews Crappy Yarns from JOANN [COULD THESE BE THE WORST YARNS YET??!!]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lBXBmOOZN64/mqdefault.jpg)
excellent job & and honest opinion on this yarn. I really love their tweed yarns they are really nice to work with. And the cost helped me make gifts for my family this year and gifts were loved & appreciated. TY
yes i thought the tweed was really nice - nicer than the plain yarn even
i made a few scarves from, this yarn for christmas and they were a huge hit!
its pretty hit or miss to get in my area but its really nice when you can get it imo. my dollar tree had light blue, pink, dark grey and black!
You know it is pretty fun to work with once you get the hang of it - glad your projects turned out well
I picked up some green and white at dollar tree. I want to make a scarf for my 12 year old son. We’ve had a hard time during the pandemic and he’s now living with my oldest son and his wife. I miss him so much and I wanted to hand make something for him. He loves soft things. My grandma taught me how to crochet when I was younger. Have you done any scarfs? I will check on your other videos. Thank you for sharing your lovely talents…they’re beautiful! 🤩
Hi Friend glad to have you. I don’t have any scarfs on my channel but may I suggest someone like Bag o day crochet she has probably one hundred and is a good teacher 🥰
Love your projects💕I found it too! I’m making granny square lovie over the dollar tree stuffies for the Christmas Child box at church💕I had to go to several stores to find the different colors💕
Great idea!! I havent done a christmas child box for years - i loved them!
When you whispered 18 skeins 🤣🤣 girl I felt that!
Hahaha you know how it is
I love the little chick that you made, it’s so adorable!!
Thank you so much!
Dear Claire, Thanks for your very enjoyable video. That's a beautiful baby blanket. I always wanted to try corner-to-corner, with your inspiration I might try it. The scrunchy will look cute on you. I love your yellow baby chick! I will go to a Dollar Tree and check out their yarn... I usually buy my yarns at Jo-Anne and Michael's. I love Hobby Lobby's yarns, but they are quite a distance from me... Again, thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent with us.
Hi friend! Make sure to call ahead not every store carries yarn ☺️
There's no babies here, sorry mom hahaha so relatable. Great video, so far I've made a kitty blanket and a bunch of scrunchies.
That is awesome, I hope you follow my videos so we can stay in touch! I have made an ugly blanket for my rabbits. Actually I have a plan to crochet them something new so be on the look out for that
@@WoodshedTheory I'll keep an eye out for sure!
Love your projects! I’m making a green chenille baby blanket from the Dollartree.
Wow! I wanted the green to make a frog hat but I couldnt find it at any of my dollar trees. Can't wait to see what you make!
I don't think is the Premier Parfait, I think that Dollar Tree's Just Yarn Chenille is the generic brand of Parfait, a similar Parfait but produced with less expensive materials and less expensive production methods. Of course, that doesn't guarantee it is going to be a bad product. Remember all the so-called good brands of today needed some trial period by the consumers to earned that title. Yesterday I bought 3 skeins of Chenille at Dollar Tree because I wanted to give it a try after I felt the texture and saw it was chenille. At that price, trying the Chenille yarn is not going to be a huge loss in case after the trial you conclude the quality worth less than $1.25 per skein.
Nice haul ! I’ve used their chenille yarn to make a blanket as a gift and the person loves it says it’s the best material because it won’t make you hot during summer time .
I am glad you enjoyed the yarn as well.
How much balls did u use
@@isabella.p.10 this was a while ago but I think about 10-15 skeins created a leg blanket for sitting on the couch/ chair.
I love this yarn! Thanks for your review. I made a sunflower bear out of the yellow and a panda with the black and white. I use an H hook 5.5 mm. But the fuzzies! I had to keep a lint roller close by.
it sheds like crazy
I'm currently using this yarn to make a crop top based on a tutorial here on TH-cam that uses velvet yarn. I was using a 4mm yarn and I was able to see all the top stitches by feeling for them although stitch markers were extremely helpful in the project. Thank you so much for the tips on the fraying, I was wondering what to do with that part.
At my local Dollar Tree they also had some grey. I've also been seeing people on Facebook Market selling the yarn for a steep mark up.
GREY? I wish I saw that one I have a project in mind :)
No problem thanks!
That blanket is so cute!
Thank you Allyn!
Omg I bought 18 skeins (whisper) that made LOL Thank you for this really nice video!!!
hahaha i love buying yarn
Love your vibe and energy! Great video make more crochet videos!! Maybe tutorials
Thank you Via - I am working on a new yarn review so make sure to sub and look out for it!
BE CAREFUL WASHING IT! Chenille yarns stretch after a wash and the entire project ends up LOOPY all over. Handwash it gentle and lay flat to dry. DO NOT PUT IN THE DRYER. Also, use some shorter/tighter stitches, avoid using long tall loose stitches.
Thank you soooooo much 💜💕
Thank you for the tip! We all thank you!
@@WoodshedTheoryhow many skeins of yarn did you use for your blanket
I used 4 skeins of the Dollar Tree chenille yarn with a 5.5 mm or 4.5 mm hook (at the time those were the only 2 hooks I used but I'm not sure which i used for that) and made a small blanket to go in the cats bed. I used the alpine stitch because i saw it recommended for chenille yarn. I wash and dry it in the machines and it still looks great. I think that stitch is why. I figured after cats sleeping on it and machine washing and drying, it would be a rag by now. It's still going strong though 🙃 I am NOT saying anyone should wash and dry their projects in the machines. Just telling my experience with that yarn. Have a nice day everyone 😊
For scrunchies fit as many sc as you can on a hair toe then 2 to 3 treble crochet in each single crochet around. Slip stitch to join and weave in. Super ruffly scrunchies!!
thank you i will try that
Bless you lol
I work at $Tree, And I discovered Yellow today, I have not seen the purple yet. I have crocheted with the chunky yarn we carry, and made a scarf, and also used the acrylic yarn and made a dog sweater. I had enough to make a whole dog sweater and still had some left over. I sold it for $22,50 so it was a win win for me.
We had the Bernat Blanket yarn once, as well as Caron Simply soft. The yarn rocks
Oh that would be fun to find! I saw purple at the last store I was at but decided against buying it because I already have so much.
Nice work! But what is the difference in chenille and dream chenille of the just yarn in dollar tree stores?
Hmmm I’m not sure - the just chenille is at dollar tree and you can also buy a big cone now from premier directly and save a few dollars
Love your channel! Keep up the good work! What do you use for the blush on your little animals? Thank you 😊
Hi Shelley, I just used some of the blush from my makeup collection. This is from the Sailor Moon collection from colorpop so it is nice and bright!
I love using this brand from the dollar tree just to mess around and try patterns that I want to see in a physical form before committing to it with my more expensive yarn. Or I love just using the normal yarn they have because it’s in so many colors and it feels so soft and in my opinion I’ve had basically no issues with it aside from maybe just how small each ball is. I’ll definitely keep using it anyway since the price doesn’t break the bank and because it just gives me more options to use then if I had to constantly buy larger balls of yarn (omg i buy so much)
I crocheted a hexagon tree skirt with regular yarn and used this for the edge
That would be a great use I was thinking of using my extra white for a Santa hat! Thanks Jennifer for watching all my yarn content :)
I just got the blue and the mint on the hunt for yellow and purple they also sell hooks and just recently found Pom Pom makers similar to clover ones
only 18 lol they had premier color wheel cakes for 1.25 today there, in a color that was sold out on the website, a spring color, Lunacy. I bought them all
i'm glad i wasn't there I would have fought you for them lol
@@WoodshedTheory 6 days later, i got 4 folded brim beanies with yarn poms and a sweater, off my addi, but idk how to make cuffs and collar LOL
Supper cute 🥰 do you have a tutorial how you made the blanket
Hi Katya - The link to the tutorial I used to make the blanket! She uses different yarn but I used that pattern!
How many rows did you end up making (size as I can’t seem to see or tell how big it is) kinda do wish you made a tutorial using this yarn from the dollar store
As there aren’t any tutorials using this yarn
I have a side by side comparison coming up.
@Cinnamon Stitches I am so excited you are commenting on my video - I am so glad you will have a comparison so we can all the real difference close up - Love your content!
That is very pretty
Thanks they have more colors now
Thanks for this video!
No problem my pleasure have you tried this yarn?
I live in the UK and I'm super jealous. Chenille yarn here is always so expensive. I've tried buying online but it's still so pricey.
Oh I hope you find a solution soon! It pretty popular in the states
@@WoodshedTheory still haven't found anything chenille yarn here is like £5 for just 50g
Thanks so much for the advice
You are so welcome!
I found this yarn sometime ago at my DT. The only thing I’ve made with it is a scrunchie. I found in using the scrunchie that the fibers from the yarn get all over my hair. I wanted to make this as gifts but I don’t want this to happen to my friends. Have you experienced this problem?
I have not found that, but I did make sure to leave long tails to weave in so it wouldnt fray at the ends. I have washed mine as well and it did alright.
Yea I experiences this to. I was making a bee and the fibers started coming out. U gotta cut it right
I crocheted Easter Peeps for my kids for Easter. I used similar yarn. Slippery and a bit hard to work with.
Yes I struggled too
PLS HELP!!! I WANT TO MAKE A PLUSH OUT OF THIS YARN AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HOOK I CAN USE!!! PLS HELP!! ALSO love the vid!!
I think I used a five or so for my chick in the video - I should say it in the video
I had to learn how to feel for stitches Because some colors blend into the stitches so you can’t see him much pretty good Yandel I love you so much soft
Awesome
I discovered that if you tie a small knot at the very end of the chenille it won't fray
That is a great idea!
How much balls did u use for a blanket
Hi there it was so long ago I am having an issue remember - i think i bought 12 balls so maybe 8?
what size hook did you use, please?
I believe it was 4 or 4.5 for the chick and maybe 5.5 for the others
I make things with the 4.5-5 (G H) hooks with this yarn.
Thanks for sharing!
@@WoodshedTheory have you made anything new with this yarn? I make tons of scrunchies with these and people love them.
I found this in grey :)
oh nice!
I need the white . I have checked Edgewater ,Daytona beach Florida. Does anyone know where I can find white
Good luck!
I’m in Miami it’s a bit far from you but we practically only have white and army green
You can order online and have it ship to your dollar tree
Is there a certain blanket pattern you followed? trying to make a baby blanket with a basic stitch and got to my second row and I couldn’t even find the spaces to start the next row
Hi Chyanne, Yes I followed the pattern listed in the description. It can be hard to learn where to make the stitches - keep at it!
How many yarn balls did you use ?
Hi Nefthaly, What a beautiful name! I believe it was 10-11 balls.
I have made several projects and I like it. Yes it is 50g but only $1.00.
Yes it is a good price
lt nice good job ty
Thanks - i really appreciate your comment
Nice job. I subscribed to your channel. Love the chick. 🐥
Hi Leilonni - Thank you, it was my first time making amigurmi with no pattern
Beautiful blanket. Cute Chick 🐣
Hi Maggie, thank you so much for your support. I hope you make something with this yarn too!
@@WoodshedTheory I’ve not seen this particular kind at our dollar tree but will keep an eye out.
If you bought the yarn you should have brought the crochet hooks as well too.
Hi Kivia - That is probably wise - I don't think I even thought to look to see if they had hooks at the dollar tree but I will look next time I am there! Good idea!
@@WoodshedTheory Dollar Tree have both the plastic and aluminum hooks. I know that Dollar Tree have knitting needles as well too.
Thanks for letting me know - I will look for them next time and try to do a review on them.
@@WoodshedTheory Dollar General have knitting needles as well as crochet hooks and yarn too.
Thanks for the heads up!
I’m having a hard time finger knitting with it
I’ve never tried finger knitting so you are far more advanced than I 😅 thanks for sharing your experience.
$2 at Dollar Tree? where do you live?
Hi Lily I’m sorry if I said 2, I def meant 1! Now this was filmed a long time ago so now they have raised prices to 1.25
Did you purchase your yarn from Dollar tree?
