I really enjoyed you showing how this yarn/wool works up 😊 Any chance you would be able to do a video showing us how other types of wool/yarn works up and how it handles being in the washer only then washer and dryer..? Like for example lionbrand mandala, caron cakes Please don’t ever think that I don’t appreciate what you do, because I extremely appreciate everything that you do and I mean everything 💕
Thank you for the review of the new yarns from Michael’s. Thank you for showing the red & white yarn and how the added flecks of fuzzy color yarn flake off easily. And for showing how it worked up as you were trying different stitches with it. I wouldn’t want to make anything with it if the fuzzy flecks are just going to get hung up and come loose while making something. Your conspiracy theory LOL.. I think you are spot on 😂
I find it very interesting that it came to you in a Lion Brand envelope. It does really make me wonder if their house brand yarn is made by them. I absolutely love Michael's Charisma yarn!
I love that Crystal makes sure to state that these are her opinions and for everyone else to try for themselves. I bought this yarn a week ago. I worked it up with my Furls resin hook and LOVED it. I had no problems whatsoever. No hang ups at all. It glides smoothly. Sometimes I think changing hooks may do the tricks. The colorway I worked up was Autumn Sunset. 😊❤
@@carlabass7413 I’m working up a cardigan. Working up great so far. Doing SC, BLSC, HDC stitches. Nothing too complicated since it it’s a busy yarn. Don’t know about wear and tear yet 👍🏻it’s definitely gonna be thick and cozy warm 🥰
@@Crochetedbymichi are you finding that it really badly comes apart like Crystal was showing? It really did look like it would. I also am making a Cardigan that time of year.
Hi Crystal 👋 Sooo many different brand yarns are made in Turkey, so even though I'm not into conspiracy theories I'd believe this one ! LOL😊 Thanks for another great review, it's nice to know the details on yarns before we buy them ! Looking forward to the beanie tutorial! Be well 🦋
It might make a nice little basket to throw some notions or bits and bobs into. You know, something that doesn't get a lot of wear and tear. While you were crocheting with it, I thought it might make a pretty candy cane decoration for a Christmas tree.
My yarn that I ordered from Joann’s came from lion brand on the return address too! That’s a little more believable than Michael’s house brand coming from there! WOW! 💗🧶
I am so glad you have a tutorial for your blanket I have the kit (yay me). When I go to make it I will have backup help with the tutorial so that's awesome. Thank you so much.
I can't wait until you have the tutorial for the cardigan I'm hoping that's what was being made out of the starlet yarn something like that, because I bought all of the yarn I thought I would need to make it.
I like talking to you about yarn. There probably is one huge distribution center that sends it out to all the stores and they slap their labels on it. And there probably is separating large places in turkey that make the different ones and it goes all to the same distribution center who sends it out to all the companies.
Thank you for taking the time to review this new yarn. When you were crocheting with it i could feel my own hands getting a bit frustrated with that white yarn and getting snarled. Your opinion is so important to us. Thank you again
Thanks for your information. I just thinking about making a blanket with it for charity, now I may rethink that. Definitely don’t want it to fall apart
Love your videos! After reading some of the comments, I think this would be a good yarn for crafts. I would use a bigger hook. I don't knit, so you may not want to change the needle size. I really like the color, though. Have a blessed day!❤
I think yarn manufacturers are similar to generic or house brands of food at grocery stores. They are cheaper without the national brand labels. I buy so many Kroger brand food because it's just as good or better than the pricey namebrands are! Same thing with yarn! Thoughts? 🤔 😊👍🧶
Crystal, you may be right about the yarn store conspiracy. When I was in high school, I toured a cigar factory in Florida. In the shipping room, they were boxing cigars. Well, they were putting many different bands on them and shipping the same cigars as different brands and types-all the same cigars!!! It was a real eye opener.
Hiiiii Crystal!!! I bought two kits in different colors for the Beauty Runs Deep… excited to get started!!!!! Instead of a conspiracy theory you can call it a yarnspiracy theory…. LoL
Very interesting. 🤔 I never thought about one place making yarns for many labels. But, you made an excellent point. I think you are onto something. I mean a lot of yarns come from Turkey.
I've been using this yarn in Shortbread (one of the neutral base colors) to make a triangle wrap from a yarnspiration pattern. The ends have been really fuzzy (like irredeemable), but for the most part I haven't had any real problems with this yarn. HOWEVER, I think I had an easier time because I've been using an inline hook. I think the deeper throat helps to catch the yarn so it doesn't snag on that secondary color. Sometimes the yarn even twists itself tighter while I'm working. Of course never in the loose spots, lol! I really wish I could include a picture of my wrap in progress. The fuzz is minimal, the secondary color looks mostly tight to the base color, and because the base is neutral it doesn't feel busy. Crystal's review *does* make me wonder about picking up any of the other colors. Almost all of them are a colorful, solid base plus the changing secondary color. There's a black and a cream (?) with neutral secondary color. Maybe I'll try one of those next time. I'll also be mindful of including washing instructions when I give this to my friend.
Crystal I cannot agree with you more about there being one huge warehouse where all the yarn goes to and eventually gets different labels on it. I thought of you and what you said about this on your live when I was in Michaels just this past Saturday. I was trying to see if they had Lion Brand-Vanna's Choice so I can feel it (always need to feel the yarn first) and the shelves looked kind of empty. I asked the gal that worked there and she told me - now get this - all of the skeins are being relabeled with Michaels "Loops and Threads" ! You are so wise Crystal. I said, "WHAAAATTTT" and asked the gal, "Why?" Of course, she did not know the whys and just said all the different brands are in the process of being relabeled. Unbelievable!!! Crystal I cannot thank you enough for your reviews. I have learned so much from you and these reviews not to mention your tutorials! I love listening to you and love hearing your dogs, seeing you dogs and meeting every member of your family that comes across. So grateful. Abundant blessings to you and your entire family, much love and light!
🤔 I know I've bought ICE yarns that are exact same yarn as the Mandala yarn. ICE ICE, BABY! (I know that song from when our girls were in elementary school and all the kids wanted those words painted on their face at the school carnival. 😂) Blessings!
Hello Crystal im listening to your yarn review. And the fun opinion of the yarn conspirasy. Have you ever thought of organizing a tour of yarn group enthusiasts to Turkey, or to South Caorlina the Coats and clark Red Heart yarn factory. I enjoyed when the urban yarn gentleman visited you ,and you visited yarn shops. Thank you Iris.
THANK YOU SO MUCH CRYSTAL ❤🥰! I thought I would like this Yarn & I had my eyes on the Black & the Red one, but not after seeing how it pulls apart 🤯. No way ❤🥰!
I am starting to believe your theory!!! It’s quite amazing!!! 😂? I do love that stitch sampler hat!! My goodness!! It’s my favourite one to see on your head!! 😂
That yarn, imho, is good for crafts! Not needles or hooks, arts n crafts....I'm starting to understand about quality vs quantity! I totally agree, Crystal....❤🙏❤
Thanks for your review. Looks great for wrapping Christmas presents but I think your review was excellent. Love all your reviews and as always “spot on”. Have a great night. ❤
I think your yarn conspiracy is definitely on point. many many yarns look exactly the same across brans....just labels are different! This yarn looks very pretty but I already have trouble with LB wool ease thick and quick so I know this would get caught up on my hook. I would have to slow it down haha
Most house brands of anything are made at branded (Lionbrand, Kraft, etc) "factories". But they usually have their own specifications. Love watching your new yarn videos. That yarn looks like a six to me too.
I bought this exact yarn last year by lion brand under their thick & quick label. I used it to make baskets for Christmas gifts for my nieces. I made on for myself and it has held up well but it did fuzz up and lose it’s shape a little as I put things in it.
Hey Crystal, the yarn is pretty, but heavy weight yarn doesn't work well with my hands. Thanks for taking the time to do the review. You are right, someone out there will love it because it is really pretty.❤
About the Lion Brand situation It’s a very common practice. Here’s an example. Maytag, Roper, Kitchenaid, appliances(washers and dryers are all made by Whirlpool Corp, which also makes their own brand marketed as Whirlpool. Kenmore had appliances made by both Whirlpool and General Electric all marketed under the Sears Kenmore brand. There are other brands that Whirlpool makes as well. I worked at Whirlpool for many many years so I know this as fact. I’m sure yarn companies do the same thing
Great review, I’m not a fan of that type of yarn but I was wondering if a bigger hook would have helped in the hang ups. So in agreement w/you on the one yarn factory. I’m visit England every year, one year I was there and this company was doing a blind taste test of corn flakes, orange juices and potatoes chips or as they say in England…chipies. What was so amazing is that ppl couldn’t tell the difference between the name brand labels from the store labels. I’m saying all this to say, those folks that did the test, said “they’re all the same, made in the same mills but labeled differently”.
LOL. I agree with you. I think its ICE yarn also... Speaking of ICE yarn, I watched your video on your last unboxing, and I loved that hand dyed yarn that is in shades of brown, orange, and sage, that you said you were keeping to make a hat.. I ordered mine as quickly as I could... It was beautiful.
I agree with you on the yarn conspiracy theory thing. I appreciate your honesty. You've Beebe steered me wrong. I want to make things that last because I spend so much time doing them.
You can find out which size the yarn actually is by checking what's called "wraps per inch". To do that, wrap the yarn loosely around a ruler over two inches. Make sure the strands lie next to each other touching but not overlapping. Count the number of strands over the two inches and divide by two. It's better to use two inches instead of just one for greater accuracy. There is a chart available online that tells what each of the seven categories contains. Bulky (6) is 6 wpi or less. Worsted (4) is 9-11 wpi.
We’re all going to take a field trip to Turkey & find that 1 yarn factory!🧶 I also received my Caboo from Michaels in a Lion Brand bag! And oeastv2 other TH-cam channels have said the same in the past couple of weeks. Thanks for your honest opinions & thorough reviews! Definitely a 6 weight that’s going to fuzz quickly.
I'd put that at a 6 for sure and use a 10mm with a loose grip. I just finished a wrap in wool ease (which is very similarly spun to this) and that's how I had to do it to keep getting hung up on the little loose strands or the single thread that generally holds roving style together. (Edited because my idiot cat hit enter before I was finished typing)
I agree with you that there is a yarn manufacturer in Turkey that makes yarn for multiple yarn companies. I ran out of Ice yarns rainbow dk (not Picasso) yarn and ended up buying the exact same yarn here in UK. Everything on the ball band except company name was exactly the same…very close dye lot numbers too, plus it was much cheaper!
I was just saying this to my husband. I bought Red Heart Scrubby 6 months ago at Michael's for $3.99. Bought the exact same product 3 weeks ago, again at Michaels, but this time it was Loops and Threads, at it was $7.99!!! Almosr every yarn they carry now is Loops and Threads, and it all seems to be priced higher. Gee, it's already not that easy to get yarn in Canada outside of major cities, and now Michaels does this? Feels like I'm being forced to purchase online from Amazon. 😢
I think that yarn is pretty but I believe it would be a mess to work with it. I was surprised that it frogged easily. I was expecting for it to catch. I don't think this yarn would be good for me. Ty Crystal! 💞💞💞
Hi Crystal I just bought the loops and thread ringspun yarn made a hat and scarf out of it. I brought because I liked the color and texture but it had 3 to 4 knots in every skein of yarn was very disapponited
Michael's has a new scrubby yarn that's identical to red heart scrubby. In fact, I found a random red heart one mixed in, which is odd because that location doesn't carry that anymore. When i scanned it to see the price, even though it had a red heart label, it scanned as the Loops and threads one. The yarn is the exact same, even the colors. It'd be nice if they released new colors. Like an orange and black for Halloween

If there was anyone to break the mystery yarn factory that makes all yarns, it will be you because you are the yarn guru. 🙂
@sugarand2221 I completely agree with you! Well said
I will be the accomplice. Pick me!😂
Just started crocheting again after I retired. It had been 20+ years. I stumbled across your channel on TH-cam and I love you and everything you do!

I love your yarn reviews!
If you are having issues I would for sure with the white part. I think it is too busy when crocheted. Thank you for showing us!! ❤
I find it very interesting that it came to you in a Lion Brand envelope. It does really make me wonder if their house brand yarn is made by them. I absolutely love Michael's Charisma yarn!
Thank you Crystal, being on a fixed income I value your opinion. 🌹
With you on the case we could find Atlantis. LOL. Please keep up the great videos.

@@carlabass7413 honestly no but then again I’m not pulling or untwisting it to try either. Maybe it’s cause it’s a different colorway 🤷🏼♀️ not sure.

Hi Crystal 👋
Sooo many different brand yarns are made in Turkey, so even though I'm not into conspiracy theories I'd believe this one ! LOL😊

I too find that some yarns are just like another...😁 love watching your videos
That yarn would be great for your daughter to use on her knitting loom.
It might make a nice little basket to throw some notions or bits and bobs into. You know, something that doesn't get a lot of wear and tear. While you were crocheting with it, I thought it might make a pretty candy cane decoration for a Christmas tree.
I'd pay for a tour of that one giant yarn warehouse
I just started making a blanket using this yarn and it's super easy to work with for beginners. This is my first ever project.
Hey there Crystal!
Hi Crystal !! ❤❤ just finished watching your yards and grams video ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you again for the informative video.
Thanks for the review. Very helpful as always!
My yarn that I ordered from Joann’s came from lion brand on the return address too! That’s a little more believable than Michael’s house brand coming from there! WOW! 💗🧶
It would make a pretty chunky Christmas stocking.
Crystal is the bob ross of yarn 🥹🥰

I agree, I looked at this yarn at Michael’s today, and I think they are going to have to give it away😫😳😜🤣
Thank you for your assessment. It is so hard to purchase new untried yarn through the mail.
Very interesting. 🤔 I never thought about one place making yarns for many labels. But, you made an excellent point. I think you are onto something. I mean a lot of yarns come from Turkey.

I have no issues with my colorway Autumn sunset either and I’m using a Furls resin hook. Curious now about the different colors.
I'm with you on the Ice Yarns thing. I once bought L&T sock yarn that I later got from IY. 😉
That would be a good weaving yarn.
Thanks!
Thank you as always for your honest opinions

Hi Crystal
We’re all going to take a field trip to Turkey & find that 1 yarn factory!🧶
I also received my Caboo from Michaels in a Lion Brand bag! And oeastv2 other TH-cam channels have said the same in the past couple of weeks.
Thanks for your honest opinions & thorough reviews!
Definitely a 6 weight that’s going to fuzz quickly.
I know for a while that Red Heart and Caron were made at the same factory...and Rochelle (now Caron) made yarns for other companies.
I'd put that at a 6 for sure and use a 10mm with a loose grip. I just finished a wrap in wool ease (which is very similarly spun to this) and that's how I had to do it to keep getting hung up on the little loose strands or the single thread that generally holds roving style together.
(Edited because my idiot cat hit enter before I was finished typing)
I agree with you that there is a yarn manufacturer in Turkey that makes yarn for multiple yarn companies. I ran out of Ice yarns rainbow dk (not Picasso) yarn and ended up buying the exact same yarn here in UK. Everything on the ball band except company name was exactly the same…very close dye lot numbers too, plus it was much cheaper!
Hi Crystal. I would add that to a solid color that's 5 or 6 weight.
I was thinking it would be beautiful to pair it with a solid green for a Christmas project 😊
You maybe right Crystal
Hi Crystal ❤still love ur video's ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It would be a waste of money, time and effort to make anything from that, although I do love Loops and Threads, thanks Crystal❤
I was just saying this to my husband. I bought Red Heart Scrubby 6 months ago at Michael's for $3.99. Bought the exact same product 3 weeks ago, again at Michaels, but this time it was Loops and Threads, at it was $7.99!!! Almosr every yarn they carry now is Loops and Threads, and it all seems to be priced higher.
Gee, it's already not that easy to get yarn in Canada outside of major cities, and now Michaels does this? Feels like I'm being forced to purchase online from Amazon. 😢
Thanks for the review. If I find one skein at clearance price I will at least make a hat and find out how it holds up!
I think that yarn is pretty but I believe it would be a mess to work with it. I was surprised that it frogged easily. I was expecting for it to catch. I don't think this yarn would be good for me. Ty Crystal! 💞💞💞
did you know that sheepjes mohair line had ? its a shame i dont live in the USA such lovely yarn. you have there
Hi Crystal I just bought the loops and thread ringspun yarn made a hat and scarf out of it. I brought because I liked the color and texture but it had 3 to 4 knots in every skein of yarn was very disapponited
Michael's has a new scrubby yarn that's identical to red heart scrubby. In fact, I found a random red heart one mixed in, which is odd because that location doesn't carry that anymore. When i scanned it to see the price, even though it had a red heart label, it scanned as the Loops and threads one. The yarn is the exact same, even the colors. It'd be nice if they released new colors. Like an orange and black for Halloween
I reckon ice yarns too. That red is so Christmassy but not what I like to use
Hi
Have you reviewed Bernat Felted Yarn? It appears intriguing to me.
