    Using the Trimm cable knit. I was pleasantly surprised. I have not finished the garment yet, as I bought the wool before searching out a pattern 🤔. You need a good 6 balls ( going to purchase another 3 to make it 7 balls, just in case) to complete the sweater that I found on here with Wonderwool 👍.

    Hi Angela! New subscriber - gosh I miss the decent yarn from B&M. They used to do this ombre, but they are no longer selling them. They were amazing! I know the video is a year old, but I just came across your channel with it :) Adam xx

    Hi Angela, thank you for sharing your shopping trip. The Range store near me hasn't got a lot of yarn unfortunately or even B&M. Sometimes Poundland does. The independent sellers are better like the secret yarn stash. I hope that your pins and needles has disappeared now, it must be frustrating for you. Take care lovely xx

      Hi carla, thank you for watching these stores are further away than my normil ones, it was only once I got home and was looking up the address that I found their was a hobbycraft with in walking distance. Hobby craft = limited choice elsewhere.
      I love SYS they have yarn packs that go with a few of my patterns 😘 they are still with me but getting back to normil levels 🤗😘

    Depends on your project. Some of that "rough" yarn could be use for latch-hooking. I'm not really sure why anyone'd expect to find quality yarn in a bargain basement store? John Lewis and its ilk is the place for quality, but that obviously comes at a premium.

      When I recorded this, I was showing budget yarns, as I don't have money to spend on high end yarns. I haven't checked out John Lewis for yarns. I didn't even know they stocked it... Of to the Web sight I go lol thank you for the inside information 🤗😘

    Hi, just watched this, not realising it was a year old. Basically I came to say I went to my local(ish) B&M's last week and they had pretty much the same as you've seen. But less choice actually. They had the Trimm aran which I bought one each of blue and pink, only fault with it was varied in thickness throughout. Dark blue boys were way thicker. Not tried pink yet. They had the spotty ones in white and pink, which they had last year as I bought them then. Couple of the others you've shown, pretty much looks like what they've on sale since last year! I've just subscribed too. X

      Hi lin, thank you for subscribing, I did notice that this video is watched each week so changed the tital a little by adding the date so not to confuse everyone.
      I haven't had a chance to go back and see if this store still has the same, so thank you for your update can I ask what county are you in?
      In not keen on yarns with varied thickness as it shows through more in crochet items.
      I have most of my content in play lists, so I hope you find other videos that interest you, give me a shout if you need any help navigating 🤗😘

      Hi thank you for your message, I'm sorry to say I don't know of and independent yarn stores in London as I'm in Gloucestershire. The main one is hobby craft, then pound shop, Market shops, and the stores spoken about in this video.
      I would ask Google for wool shops nere me SW1A W1AA 😉
      I have only just taken up knitting, due to RSI, I don't think I will be doing tutorials for knitting. Not for a good few years as I'm sooooo slow lol but do have a few book reviews. 🤗😘

    It’s so annoying that in the UK that there are barely anywhere that sells yarn, or it seems to be twice the price than in USA

    • @CPLCrochetPoppy
      @CPLCrochetPoppy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes it is, but when I see a sale that's a proper one like the one I am showing on wips bits and chat 151 I SHOUT very Loudly 😘 so if you are in the UK and looking for 20% to 50% off yarn, click on my affiliate link to the secret yarn stash. As they have the best sale ever on atm 🤗😘

    When you look at our local shops that sell yarn all i can say is we have such a Droll boring choice only my opinion x The Range here dont stock yarn! Im just glad we have an independent yarn shop with lots of choice.
