I get so jealous watching you crochet! So fast and fluid! But I have to remind myself that you’ve been doing this a long time. I’ve been crocheting just over a year. I’ll get there eventually 😎
I try to live a zero waste life and crafting though good for my anxiety and depression can make me feel guilty. Found the re-spekt and re-spun online and on sale and bought it without even looking at reviews. Was so glad to see your thoughts here!! I had plans to make some garments with them and it looks like I made the right choice! But I may need to reconsider my plans for respekt because that tank that you suggested is EVERYTHING! I’m not much of a crocheter I’m terrible with my tension which is why I learned to knit (much easier!) but I may have to snatch up your pattern and commit. Omg so cute!
@@janhill2079 that would actually be amazing!! Yes please! I don’t use any yarns with bamboo since the material it produces is actually rayon and it uses a huge amount of energy to convert bamboo into material. So I couldn’t use the blend she recommends here. Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
@@janhill2079 I am going to have to find some ASAP! Thank you! I pups you say it’s the same or different from the Lily and sugar cotton? Or knitpicks dishie?
Love your comments and find myself chuckling with you - often! I knitted and knitted and knitted, and got just tired of it! Now Tunesian crochet has my attention! Thank you for your comments. Love your soothing voice!
I hate to work with cotton, and I've been tried few different brands, before Toni to comment on one of my IG post with advice to switch to blend of cotton with something else. I really appreciate this advice at its make huge difference, thank you Toni! The new Lion Brand's cotton mixes looks intriguing.
I love the Re-Spun yarns. I recently used the raisinn color for your summertime tee pattern and my niece loves it; she wears it everywhere! It came out very drapey. I need to either make it smaller or tighter; the shirt fits more like a dress after only a few weeks. Thank you so much for your reviews and your tutorials 😊
Girl, your crocheting is so smooth and quick and graceful. It's genuinely soothing to watch. And your honest yarn reviews are so helpful! Liked and subscribed 😁
I love Re-spun because it looks just like wool without the itch factor and the special care instructions. I love the halo that comes with the yarn which fills in any gaps in between stitches. I used 7mm knitting needles to get the preferred fabric to make a shoulder shrug. I will need to collect all the colors before they discontinue it.
After I watched this, I took advantage of the sale at Lion Brand and bought the Re-spun. I love it! It absolutely feels like wool and I immediately started on a cocoon cardigan for myself. Thank you for all you do, and your honesty in your reviews.
Im currently using the Re-spun yarn to knit my first cardigan sweater. I am really enjoying the yarn so far and appreciate it fits my budget, isnt itchy, and is great for a beginner.
I always look forward to your yarn reviews. Where I have kind fo gone away from crochet in favor of knitting for the last few years it's nice to keep up with yarns that would be good (or not so good) for crochet. I tend to prefer using budget yarns in my crochet vs more higher end or luxury yarns for my knitting so I like that I can see the whole gambit.
I am currently working up the blanket part of a bear blanket animal with the 24/7 cotton DK yarn and I love it. The drape is beautiful and I love the pink color I'm using. I also HIGHLY recommend this yarn!
Toni, your in depth reviews are so spot on and give me the information that I need when making a purchase for my crochet projects. Thank you! Hope your new studio space is coming together for you.
Try a piece of brown paper bag when you're finished with lightly sanding your hooks. Rubbing with the bag gives a nice finish for sure. Thanks for the honest reviews, saves me money and they're very helpful!
So glad I saw this video yesterday. When I went shopping for some yarn I found most of them. Still drooling over those gorgeous colours in the Re-Spun yarn. 😊
UGGGHHH... It's all your fault! I just spent way more than I should have at Lion Brand this weekend lol. I love the new colors, I bought so.. much...yarn. I do love your videos. I have been a Master Crochet artist at CGOA for a while now and watching your reviews saves me so much time and running around. I have become a yarn snob fangirl. Thanks for making these videos Toni!
I give you 20 stars for being the very best yarn reviews on TH-cam. You show the yarn, talk about the fiber content, do a sample and talk about which hook or hooks to try and then give your honest option of the yarn. I have come to really dislike the people that buy $$$ of yarn, pay for express shipping, then only talk about the colors and how scarfable it is. Most of us don't have $$$ to spend at one time much less pay for express shipping (would rather use the money on more yarn). I want to know how it feels when working with the yarn, what the stitch definition looks like, how it behaves on the hook and how the sample hangs or drapes. I also love that you do different stiches, not just double and bobbles! Thanks for the great professional videos.
I love your Channels: all of them. You are an inspiration: I have learned so much from you but I find concentrating on the Crochet experience is missing the point: I find the Beauty of the stitching considering what it is your making and for what purpose is more important
Thank you for your review! I was on my way to my yarn thrift store and Lion Brand is a popular one! So now I'm in love with the cotton dk, I'm not a fan of the re spun colors seem too muted.Great Perfect timing! Thanks
Thank you so much for the review of these LB yarns ❤️ You always do such a fabulous job and I truly value your opinion. I am excited for the re-speck and 24/7 DK myself. That granny square you did was adorable 🥰
Two plied yarns that are then plied together is a cable ply. Cable plied yarns are amazing when plied well, and all commercial yarn is under plied. 😂 Give it a run through a spinning wheel and you'll probably like it better.
I'm commenting months late(r) but I happen to be working on a blanket at this very moment (but I am taking a break to type this, so not exactly at THIS very moment!) using Re-Spun in the Cider color. It's coming along nicely, and I love the yarn. It IS soft to the touch when worked up and it has a nice drape, a nice weight and it's very easy to work with. I'm doing a Virus pattern (ha... timely), and using a size I hook (instead of the recommended J on the yarn band) to tighten up the stitches a bit. I've bought quite a lot of the Re-Spun and used it in blankets, throws and a sweater. So far, I'm sold on it and wish they'd offer it in more colors.
I purchased Re-spun in almost all the pretty colors, but when using it, I developed little cuts on my fingers. Though the yarn feels soft on the skein, I didn't like the roughness as it passed over my fingers. I am going to guess this all has to do with using recycled materials along with chemicals to process the yarn. After discontinued use of this yarn, the cuts did heal.
Okay, I actually have the Re-Spun Thick and Quick but it seems to be the same content? I might have to dig a little to find my smaller one. BUT. I did both knit and crochet swatches, and I'm in love. It's so nice to work with, and moves smoothly over the hook, and has just a little bite. The stitches had great definition, and it frogged nicely as well.
I've now swatched the thinner Re-Spun and I like it a little less. The plan to move up to a bigger hook (I used a 7mm, but an 8mm might be good too) was definitely a good one, and it has the same stitch definition for the most part as the bigger, and the same nice feel BUT. It is terrible to frog. It just tangled instead and I had to cut my swatch out entirely. So I guess that's a thing. I'm hoping it knits up similarly but actually lets me frog it.
I'm excited to do Crochet Academy because there are these annoying gaps in my learning. Let's see if I can build a cardigan and not get lost and give up on following a patter.... There are some interesting yarns in this collection too.... hmmmm...
I honestly love your reviews and trust your opinion, which has been spot on! My problem is with Lion Brand and I am at the very least gun shy. I have bought so many of their new products only to find they cancel them before I've even had a chance to try them or even order enough to make a project. I won't purchase anymore until I see if it will be in stock a couple months at the very least. Sadly. But, this isn't on you obviously, so keep doing the wonderful job you do!
I’m happy to see a DK weight 24/7 cotton option! I’m also going to look into the Cotton Linen Bamboo. I live in a warm climate and find natural fibers make comfortable garments!
They all look so lovely! I am beginning to have an appreciation for less In Your Face colours (I always gravitated towards bright or multicoloured yarns) but your love of neutrals is beginning to rub off on me!
I have the RE-Spun and I really like it! It's a 4 wgt and easy to work with. I practiced lots of granny squares using this yarn and a 5.5mm metal hook. My goal is to make a rectangular granny square blanket. I saw the Re-Spekt but I passed on it for now. I have so much yarn and I need to get through what I have. Thanks for the review.
Thank you, Toni! I didn’t realize how much I can learn about yarn in these videos! This is the first one I’ve watched all the way through because I’m interested in all these yarns! Thank you! Carri from My Beads Desire PS Can’t wait for Monday’s Crochet Academy!!
When you've smoothed your crochet hooks try rubbing in a little thread conditioner..... the silicone one for hand sewing. Beeswax might work too but I haven't tried it (because I couldn't find it 😁)
I just love these reviews, as it helps me pick yarn for my project. Out of the yarns you reviewed, I only tried 24/7 Cotton and I like it so far. Thank you.🥰
I bought a skein of re-spun and I love it so much. I haven’t actually made a project with it but whenever I’m feeling not done great, I like to make and frog and make again little swatches of it with different needle sizes
Thank you for your great review and mentioning The Lion Brand sale- ordered five kits at 35% off. The Comfy cotton blend is used in the sleeveless knit flutter top kit and I also ordered enough of the Cooboo to make a second version because the steel blue color is so pretty. Last weekend Hobby Lobby had LB home cording at 30% off and got the dark brown color which is gorgeous. The picture on the Lion Brand website for the Sardinian coasters and the brown cording is inspiring. Also picked up the cream color to make matching placements. Searching for the perfect yarn to make a blanket out of, I binge watched ALL of your yarn reviews in the last week. I really appreciate the time you take to highlight the pros and cons of each yarn and really, really love it when you tell us how it washes and the types of projects that suit the yarn. Thank you for your hard work. I owe you several cups of coffee just for saving me so much time and energy in the search for the right yarn. You are a blessing. Aj
Love your reviews. It helps immensely when we are looking to buy yarns for a big project ,will cost alot and the end result is not what you expect, because the yarn has no good definition because the yarn.Thank you.
Toni, this is a tunisian hook question. Have you found a metal interchangeable tunisian hook set? The only metal ones I can find are the long individual ones which isn't what I want. Thanks for any help.
I love the chainette on the regular 24/7 cotton. Makes it so that splitting shouldn't happen as easily and shouldn't make me wanna bash my skull in lol.
Hi Toni, what is the hook you are using with the 24/7 Cotton DK granny square? It looks like it may be a Furls ergonomic streamline hook but in metal? I’d be interested in knowing how you like it. I like the shape and feel of the streamline in the resin but didn’t think they offered a metal option so I’m curious. Thanks.
@@TLYarnCrafts Thanks Toni. I checked their website and asked to be notified when they restock. I have some Odyssey hooks, which I do like, but the weight and shape of the streamline hooks are my preference except I’ve broken both the wood (don’t put it in a travel bag) and resin (don’t accidentally drop it it just the “right” way while sitting on your couch) so metal is probably the way for me to go.☺️
I love the yarn reviews, I never really know what is good and what is crap lol. You are such a help!! Can you make suggestions for a yarn for rugs? I used Aunt Lydia’s Rug Yarn a hundred years ago, but it is nowhere to be found, except eBay - for a fortune 😢 What yarn do you suggest that is economical (going to walk on it) and tough? Thank you for everything. You are amazing.
Hi! Have you ever reviewed Lion Brand superwash merino? Maybe I don’t know how to search your channel, but I really value your honest and unbiased reviews and I’d like to know your opinion on different superwash merino. They aren’t itchy and they hold up to laundering. I need to see you compare some so I can pick! Thanks! Xxxooo
I appreciate your yarn reviews. Your POV is different than other reviews I’ve watched. Being a weaver as well as a crochet lover I need to know specifically about content, ply, elasticity, and all things having to do with structure of my yarns. You give more than a “it feels squishy” assessment and I truly appreciate that. Thanks.
I'm very late to this video, but could I ask which stitch is used for the yellow Color Theory swatch @ 11.10? I really love that texture and really want to make something with it!
I tried 24/7 cotton Dk for Amigurumi and results are not great . The finish product is not soft and your amigurumi shows holes in it . I used 2.25 crochet hook.
This video was extremely helpful! Not only do you feature the yarn but you suggest what to make with it!! Great marketing idea, you go Girl, and so inspiring. I appreciate reviews but even more than that it’s great to see what to use the yarn for!!!! Thank you for the video ❤
I love spinning my yarn. I do buy sock 🧦 yarn. I always look for deals. I love high end yarns. I use little knits. They have overstocked yarns Also use kraemer yarns mystery boxes. Great prices. The costs is around couple dollars a skein They are mill ends.
Thank you for this review because I had Color Theory and 24/7 Cotton DK on my future purchase list. I love your linen square temperature blanket and knew when Color Theory came out it was a perfect choice for it based on the color palette, so thank you for confirming my thoughts!
I live in Australia and we don’t have all the same yarns you have here, but we do get a few lion brand ones. Color theory is my favourite acrylic yarn as it’s so soft and easy to work with.
I am new to your channel wanting to relearn crocheting been many many years. What is the best yarn for beginners that works easy on your hook and no to little splitting? Love your videos ❤
I just finished a bag with For The Home Cording. I worked it in single crochets and herringbone half doubles. I wasn’t sure at first, but it worked up really well and after I realized I can’t hold it on my tension hand like I do with regular yarn I was good to go!
To be honest and straight-forward...I never knew you existed until I accidentally found you today. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your reviews of different yarns and appreciate how in-depth you get in showing/telling us about them. Thanks to you, I think I've found the yarn for my grand-daughter's new tank that she's asked me to make for her. I've been hunting down a soft, DK weight, cotton yarn. But most are too scratchy, not very pretty color choices, and boring to work with. Your review of 24/7 Dk weight from Lion Brand has me ready to go order right this minute!! Thanks for your work and you can be sure I'll be back for more of your reviews. Thanks so much!!
I like your channel do you have a good sense what yarn is Larry appreciate your review does give me a better understanding what to buy and not to buy thank you
Thank you. Just ordered a good amount to do crochet style macrame plant hanging pots for my son. He's discovered a love for succulents and air plants. Code saved me 25 dollars.

There's a cotton yarn called re-up too but can't recall the brand name now. I can look once I'm back indoors if you'd like
The cord yarn would be great for purses, like you said. It reminded me of those trendy SAC bags from the 80s.
@@janhill2079 that would actually be amazing!! Yes please! I don’t use any yarns with bamboo since the material it produces is actually rayon and it uses a huge amount of energy to convert bamboo into material. So I couldn’t use the blend she recommends here. Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
I've just picked it up to look and the RE-UP is also Lion Brand. 4 weight. 60g balls. 103 yards 100% recycled cotton
@@janhill2079 I am going to have to find some ASAP! Thank you! I pups you say it’s the same or different from the Lily and sugar cotton? Or knitpicks dishie?
I suppose that cord yarn would make a good light chain mail shirt if you were into role play. Your particular swatch took me right to that thought.
Love your comments and find myself chuckling with you - often! I knitted and knitted and knitted, and got just tired of it! Now Tunesian crochet has my attention! Thank you for your comments. Love your soothing voice!

I love the Re-Spun yarns. I recently used the raisinn color for your summertime tee pattern and my niece loves it; she wears it everywhere! It came out very drapey. I need to either make it smaller or tighter; the shirt fits more like a dress after only a few weeks.
Thank you so much for your reviews and your tutorials 😊
Girl, your crocheting is so smooth and quick and graceful. It's genuinely soothing to watch. And your honest yarn reviews are so helpful! Liked and subscribed 😁
I love Re-spun because it looks just like wool without the itch factor and the special care instructions. I love the halo that comes with the yarn which fills in any gaps in between stitches. I used 7mm knitting needles to get the preferred fabric to make a shoulder shrug. I will need to collect all the colors before they discontinue it.
I always learn so much from your yarn reviews, Toni! Thanks!

Love your yarn snob reviews Toni! Thank you

My yarn for your class came today. I love the color and am excited about to expand my skills in crochet to include a cardigan.
Thank you, Toni! I always look forward to your reviews. I will definitely have to check out some of these.
always love these reviews
Ok, watched this a second time and now I have a BUNCH of 24/7 DK headed my way! 😆

The 24/7 cotton line is EXCELLENT! It's up there with Hobbii's cotton.

I’m happy to see a DK weight 24/7 cotton option! I’m also going to look into the Cotton Linen Bamboo. I live in a warm climate and find natural fibers make comfortable garments!
Hello
I think bamboo is what makes a lot of the yarns it's in so splitty
The smoothness of yarn is not the yarn, the issue would be the hooks.
None of this yarns are available in my country. Am I still watching? You know I am
Loving these nails!!!!
They all look so lovely! I am beginning to have an appreciation for less In Your Face colours (I always gravitated towards bright or multicoloured yarns) but your love of neutrals is beginning to rub off on me!
Great reviews! Heading right to Lion Brand now!
I adore the Cording yarn. ADORE it. I'm an odd egg.
I have the RE-Spun and I really like it! It's a 4 wgt and easy to work with. I practiced lots of granny squares using this yarn and a 5.5mm metal hook. My goal is to make a rectangular granny square blanket. I saw the Re-Spekt but I passed on it for now. I have so much yarn and I need to get through what I have. Thanks for the review.
I LOVE that Lion Brand has been creating yarns with recycled fibers, and I love the Re-Spun yarns. So soft.

Hi Toni, I love your yarn reviews. I think they're the most unbiased and fair reviews on the internet. Thank you.
Thank you for your great review and mentioning The Lion Brand sale- ordered five kits at 35% off. The Comfy cotton blend is used in the sleeveless knit flutter top kit and I also ordered enough of the Cooboo to make a second version because the steel blue color is so pretty.

So excited for recycled, sustainable and plant based fibers! Love love love the granny square you made, it's gorgeous!
Toni, this is a tunisian hook question. Have you found a metal interchangeable tunisian hook set? The only metal ones I can find are the long individual ones which isn't what I want. Thanks for any help.
Hi!!! 💜
Oooh I love that granny square! Gotta get my hands on that DK 24/7.
I love the chainette on the regular 24/7 cotton. Makes it so that splitting shouldn't happen as easily and shouldn't make me wanna bash my skull in lol.
I was hoping to use the 24/7 DK on one of your patterns, wondering which it would fit best?
I got the memo, and was already looking at the Quinn 🥰
Hi Toni, what is the hook you are using with the 24/7 Cotton DK granny square? It looks like it may be a Furls ergonomic streamline hook but in metal? I’d be interested in knowing how you like it. I like the shape and feel of the streamline in the resin but didn’t think they offered a metal option so I’m curious. Thanks.
Good eye! These are the aluminum furls streamline. They’re sold out right now, but I definitely recommend them when they come back.
@@TLYarnCrafts Thanks Toni. I checked their website and asked to be notified when they restock. I have some Odyssey hooks, which I do like, but the weight and shape of the streamline hooks are my preference except I’ve broken both the wood (don’t put it in a travel bag) and resin (don’t accidentally drop it it just the “right” way while sitting on your couch) so metal is probably the way for me to go.☺️
I love the yarn reviews, I never really know what is good and what is crap lol. You are such a help!!
Can you make suggestions for a yarn for rugs? I used Aunt Lydia’s Rug Yarn a hundred years ago, but it is nowhere to be found, except eBay - for a fortune 😢 What yarn do you suggest that is economical (going to walk on it) and tough? Thank you for everything. You are amazing.
Hi! Have you ever reviewed Lion Brand superwash merino? Maybe I don’t know how to search your channel, but I really value your honest and unbiased reviews and I’d like to know your opinion on different superwash merino. They aren’t itchy and they hold up to laundering. I need to see you compare some so I can pick! Thanks! Xxxooo
I appreciate your yarn reviews. Your POV is different than other reviews I’ve watched. Being a weaver as well as a crochet lover I need to know specifically about content, ply, elasticity, and all things having to do with structure of my yarns. You give more than a “it feels squishy” assessment and I truly appreciate that. Thanks.
I'm very late to this video, but could I ask which stitch is used for the yellow Color Theory swatch @ 11.10? I really love that texture and really want to make something with it!
I tried 24/7 cotton Dk for Amigurumi and results are not great . The finish product is not soft and your amigurumi shows holes in it . I used 2.25 crochet hook.
This video was extremely helpful! Not only do you feature the yarn but you suggest what to make with it!! Great marketing idea, you go Girl, and so inspiring. I appreciate reviews but even more than that it’s great to see what to use the yarn for!!!! Thank you for the video ❤
Did you give the number of hooks for Re-Spun and I just missed it? Also, the other yarns had suggested patterns by you bikut not the Re-Spun either. 😔
I love spinning my yarn. I do buy sock 🧦 yarn. I always look for deals. I love high end yarns. I use little knits. They have overstocked yarns Also use kraemer yarns mystery boxes. Great prices. The costs is around couple dollars a skein They are mill ends.
Thank you for this review because I had Color Theory and 24/7 Cotton DK on my future purchase list. I love your linen square temperature blanket and knew when Color Theory came out it was a perfect choice for it based on the color palette, so thank you for confirming my thoughts!
When did you start using Tunisian style cricheting, and what was your favourite nake before you learned/start crocheting Tunisian style?
Ohhhhh What is that hook you're using with the 24/7 Cotton DK? I love love love your videos. I can't stop watching!
Would you ever consider reviewing yarns from Premier? I’m so curious how they stack up with other yarns
Think the Home Cording would work with crocheting a project basket. However the amount of yarn per skein is meh.
Full Moon is my favorite. I hope you feel better soon.
I live in Australia and we don’t have all the same yarns you have here, but we do get a few lion brand ones. Color theory is my favourite acrylic yarn as it’s so soft and easy to work with.
Am I the only one annoyed and surprised that the DK and worsted weight 24/7 cottons aren't both mercerized despite sharing a name?
Yes!!!, I've been waiting for another one of theses
I am new to your channel wanting to relearn crocheting been many many years. What is the best yarn for beginners that works easy on your hook and no to little splitting? Love your videos ❤
What is the best to use for baskets that hold nice round shape? Would you recommend 24/7 dk for tops and sweaters?
Hi what yarns blends or types whether it's natural fibers or synthetics u recommend or love that doesn't cause itchiness when wearing it
I just finished a bag with For The Home Cording. I worked it in single crochets and herringbone half doubles. I wasn’t sure at first, but it worked up really well and after I realized I can’t hold it on my tension hand like I do with regular yarn I was good to go!
To be honest and straight-forward...I never knew you existed until I accidentally found you today. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your reviews of different yarns and appreciate how in-depth you get in showing/telling us about them. Thanks to you, I think I've found the yarn for my grand-daughter's new tank that she's asked me to make for her. I've been hunting down a soft, DK weight, cotton yarn. But most are too scratchy, not very pretty color choices, and boring to work with. Your review of 24/7 Dk weight from Lion Brand has me ready to go order right this minute!! Thanks for your work and you can be sure I'll be back for more of your reviews. Thanks so much!!
I like your channel do you have a good sense what yarn is Larry appreciate your review does give me a better understanding what to buy and not to buy thank you
Would you or have you ever done a video on just natural fiber yarns? Like recommendations and reviews?
I want to start crochet but I don't know what yarn should I use any yarn brand recommendations???
Thank you. Just ordered a good amount to do crochet style macrame plant hanging pots for my son. He's discovered a love for succulents and air plants. Code saved me 25 dollars.
