The price of those big balls is actually cheaper than buying the small balls at the Dollar Tree. The balls at the Dollar Tree are $1.25 for 98 yards- yes, it is now the $1.25 Tree😂, and at my store, only a few basic colors. I LOVE Premier Basix yarn. I have to agree with you, for a basic yarn, it is definitely my fav.
And my other long rambling comment aside (sorry, I have just been so excited about this yarn lol)- thank you so much for all the work you put into your review. I really loved the wash test and that you had the forethought to make four hats so you could truly compare them all side by side. But knitting machine or not, that was a lot of extra work for our benefit so thank you! Your efforts do not go unnoticed or unappreciated!
I am actually using this yarn right now. A friend asked me to make a blanket and picked up SEVERAL balls from The Dollar Tree. Purple, rose and mist. All very pretty colors and it really seems to be working up well. I have so far not had any issues but it does seems to be a little...fuzzy(?) as I handle the yarn more and more. Now, I have to admit that I have no feeling in my hands,neuropathy, SO everything feels soft. Lol Again, I kinda like it. No real issues and I kinda like the way it is draping with the loose stitch I am using. Sorry. I'm always too chatty. 😊 I agree with Crystal. Give it a shot.
On a per yard basis, Just Yarn at Dollar Tree has never been a bargain but it's a great bargain in the large skein. I did a wash and dry test on a lot of yarns. Washed and dried 10 times. Both of these yarns performed great.
You have always been honest in your advice. We enjoy your shows and learned things never thought of!!! Thanks for your time to include so many. Especially me as I set out to make each of our grand and great grands a blanket useing their favorite colors and making each one different styles of stitches. Thanks much, Brenda
My boyfriend and I found the Just Yarn our dollar tree. We both liked it and it was a really good yarn for him because it was affordable & nice enough for him to make his first ever crochet project to see if he even liked to crochet( he did 😁) & if he didn't it wasn't a loss 😉 I'm hoping more people try it out & maybe it'll spark a new hobby for others❤
I just thought of something...would u maybe do a review on other big ball value yarns against the Just yarn....like against Caron 1lb, Lion Brand pound of love, etc... That would be an awesome video!❤
I love them both. 🎶🎤Yarn yarn the magical stuff, make someone smile by gifting some fluff. The more you give, the better feel so let’s get yarn no matter the deal 🎺😂 Your channels are the best. So much more enjoyable than TV shows. ✌️❤ 🧶
Hi Crystal. Thanks so much for your honest opinion. I have bought and used the Premier Just Yarn from my local Dollar Tree. I found it to be a very good and easy yarn to work with and I’m a somewhat newbie. That said I cringed when I saw that it slightly faded after being washed. I actually crocheted my 7 year old grandson a blanket for Christmas using the yarn and I had hopes that it might be one he could perhaps pass on to his child one day. Well let’s hope it doesn’t require too many washes in the next 20 or so years. 🤣
Dear Crystal. I watch your reviews because your opinion is VERY VALUABLE. You have experience to draw upon and that MATTERS. I truly appreciate your willingness to give your opinion. ❤🤗
I really appreciate your honest yarn reviews. I really liked that you showed the difference between yarns on your Addi. My Addi just arrived! (I won't let myself open it up until I get some chores done, so I'm getting quite excited.) Keep up the great work you do for us.
I’m loving this channel!!! I’m binge watching Crystals tutorials while I crochet my first granny square blanket. It’s just one giant granny square. My goodness I feel like I’ve been working on it forever. These videos help pass the time and I’m learning as well!!❤❤
Thank you Crystal. Your reviews always give us an honest answer. I value your opinions since I don't have the experience or means to compare all of these yarns/companies myself. I appreciate the time, experience and cost you put into each review and tutorial you share with us.
I love your opinion on yarn, in my opinion you are an expert on it and i respect it dearly you have the experience and the honesty and have nothing to loose by it, Thank you with all my heart.
I really love the Basix, and I use it on really special items, but I do like the value of the Just Yarn and it works on a lot of the things I make for charity like lap blankets and walker bags etc. Thank you for your thoughts, it's always great to get another opinion.
Enjoyed your honesty and hard work to show us these two yarns. I have learned so much from your tutorials and find myself going " skip , skip" to get through other things in life, not just crochet patterns. Never change. You are wonderful. ⛅️
Crystal, I always like your yarn reviews. You always give your honest opinion. And I value your opinion. I love the PREMIER BASIC also. Thank you for always sharing with your Yarnny Peeps. 👍
Thanks, Crystal, for doing this review. Your opinion is always so helpful, and I appreciate the time you gave. Your tutorials continue to inspire me and teach me new things. Thanks again for all you do for the crochet crowd.
What I love about your reviews is that you are HONEST, but you are also as KIND to the yarn :) & Yarn companies as you could be. That's as rare as it comes! :)
I've tried the Just Yarn in Dollar Tree. There's not much yardage so I'm glad to see they've come out with a bigger skein and it's affordable. You put a lot into this review so it's ok if you prefer Basix. We appreciate you!
Thank you Crystal! I am new to crochet and I have been practicing on the Just Yarn. I love it and will now purchase it over rhss. It is lovely and soft with pretty colors. I have made beautiful gifts for people and they really like the yarn.
I’m just getting familiar with Premier Yarns and have really liked it. I’ve fallen in love with their Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted. I recently scored around 20 skeins at Goodwill for $1 each, and it is lovely to handle and work with! Enjoy your videos - you make me miss the Midwest! ❤
Crystal you know your yarn. I've watched you for years. I know your comparisons are spot on. I like your video with Eric handing you yarn. You knew everyone of them.
I love, love my Premier Basix. Then for more heirloom or special gift items your making I love Premier's Basix non pilling yarn. There are other yarns I like but I love their color selection.
From my own experience: I purchased several small skeins of Just Yarn from DOLLAR TREE. I needed more of the same color but, Dollar Tree no longer had my color. I took a chance and ordered Premier Basix in the same name color as my Just Yarn. They are identical. I continued with my project with no differences!!
Thanks for the review 😃 I use either Just Yarn or Basix for blankets for the kiddos all the time because it is washable. I hope you and your family have a wonderful blessed day.
Thank you so much I watch for videos for a long time then stopped because of financial issues and today I went to hobby lobby just to look it has now less yarns so I said let me see what Crystal has - again thank you!!!!!!
Thank you for your honest reviews. It helps out so many people deciding on yarn. I was wondering if there was any difference but as always I wait for your reviews to buy any new yarns.
I really love your tutorials videos and yarn reviews. I saved a lot of your videos for future project. I started this journey 2 months as someone who’s never crocheted before. Sad to say I’m still on the same level beginner’s beginner because I don’t have time to crochet. I work 2 jobs, married, have 3 kids, and 2 dogs at home. Should I say 4 kids coz sometimes my husband acts like a child 😂. Your videos help me with my anxiety. Thank you.
Hi Crystal this review was thorough and good. You can have an affinity to one and still be objective. The different paces you put the yarns through are proof, in our opinion also, thar it’s unlikely they yarns are the same. It is refreshing to know that they are still decent for many purposes and accessibility concerns. Thanks so much 🥰👍🏽
As always a very honest review and comparison to give us real time decision making based on our incomes and useage. Thanks so much for all you do for us!
Thank you! I have a lot of the Just yarn! I like it also! I haven’t used Premiere Basix yet but maybe! Have a Fabulous day! God Bless. Take care. Love you. 🙏😇♥️
So very appreciate your honesty. I was getting the yarn DT when they were still a buck and the skeins had more yards. Were great for scarves I donate. Will start buying these big boys now!
The thoroughness of your reviews and comparisons can't be beat. Your reviews have really helped me choose yarn for my projects. You are not only an artisan but also an educator. Thank you so much. ❤😊💐
I have used this yarn I purchased at dollar tree I think its fine especially for the price I did not know that there were big ones like this I have only see what the dollar tree sells thank you for sharing
As someone on a budget I really appreciate your honest reviews and all you do to give us choices we can make with informed decisions!
The price of those big balls is actually cheaper than buying the small balls at the Dollar Tree. The balls at the Dollar Tree are $1.25 for 98 yards- yes, it is now the $1.25 Tree😂, and at my store, only a few basic colors. I LOVE Premier Basix yarn. I have to agree with you, for a basic yarn, it is definitely my fav.
Most items are more expensive per ounce or whatever the item is measured by at Dollar Tree & Dollar General.
And my other long rambling comment aside (sorry, I have just been so excited about this yarn lol)- thank you so much for all the work you put into your review. I really loved the wash test and that you had the forethought to make four hats so you could truly compare them all side by side.

I loved the yarn review.
Thanks so much for the comparison of the yarn brands.
Thanks for sharing Crystal.
Thanks for the review. I love the washer dryer test.
Thank you, Crystal.
This is a great service to us... your time and experience is appreciated.
I value your opinion I can hear you in my ear when I shop for yarn. It actually makes it easier to decide on what to buy. Thank you so much Crystal.
Thank you Crystal for your honest review of these 2 yarns. Very appreciated!!
Have a great weekend!😊🧶🦋
Thank you for the comprehensive reviews all the way to a wash test!

I think it is great that more men are working with yarn. Inexpensive but easy to work with yarn is a must for beginners.
@@Kobisashi I wholeheartedly agree ❤️🧶
Oh honey, a crocheting boyfriend??? He's a keeper! 😍
@@grannym2880 He is very much a keeper 💗😁
Thank you for the review. I like and appreciate all of your reviews. They are very informative! Much love & Many blessings!

Definitely
Thank you for sharing! Have a wonderful day❤🤗
I did not realize that Premier had this yarn in the jumbo skeins, so that’s good to know!
Thanks for your review, Crystal!

Hi Crystal. Thanks for this review. Always good to know what you think. Take care.

Thank you so much crystal,have a fantastic weekend ❤❤❤
I have learned so much about yarn from you. Yo are such a joy to watch and learn not only stitches but also so much about yarn. Thank you.

I haven’t used the acrylic. But I like the Just Cotton. Crochets well. I made a pot holder with it and it turned out great.
Thank you Crystal. Your reviews always give us an honest answer. I value your opinions since I don't have the experience or means to compare all of these yarns/companies myself. I appreciate the time, experience and cost you put into each review and tutorial you share with us.

I really enjoyed this side by side comparison. Have you done lots of them before? If not, I'd love to see them in the future 😍 Thanks, Crystal
I really love the Basix, and I use it on really special items, but I do like the value of the Just Yarn and it works on a lot of the things I make for charity like lap blankets and walker bags etc. Thank you for your thoughts, it's always great to get another opinion.
Agree, but what is a walker bag?
@@deniseflorence381 it's a bag that can be attached on the frame of a walker used by people with mobility problems
Thank you for the review.
Thanks for the yarn review
If Crystal said a certain yarn is just plain bad, I'd believe her 100%
I appreciate her opinion very much. Thanks!
Enjoyed your honesty and hard work to show us these two yarns. I have learned so much from your tutorials and find myself going " skip , skip" to get through other things in life, not just crochet patterns. Never change. You are wonderful. ⛅️
I'm not sure how I missed this. Thanks Crystal!😃💜
Thank you for showing us the difference between the yarns. I learn so much watching your comparisons.
I really appreciate how much effort you put into giving us a fair unbiased summary of these yarns. Thank you!
Thanks for the comparison in the yarns . I haven't tried either yarn yet , so it is nice to know . Love and Hugs .
Crystal I agree with you completely...I have both brands on my shelves and tend to go for Premier Basix first. Thanks for your honest opinion 🫶😍
Good comparisons.
Crystal, I always like your yarn reviews. You always give your honest opinion. And I value your opinion. I love the PREMIER BASIC also. Thank you for always sharing with your Yarnny Peeps. 👍

Great honest yarn review as always. Thx Crystal.
I found premier basix at a dollar tree in California and I love it!
hiya crystal! per the norm, your reviews are so worthwhile. unbiased honesty is what we all look for. basix it is!
I always appreciate you and your talents Crystal! Thanks for keeping it real!
Always appreciate your reviews! ❤️🧶
Good morning Crystal. Thanks for the review, especially the wash and dry review. I love Premier and I wish it was sold more widely in retailers.
What I love about your reviews is that you are HONEST, but you are also as KIND to the yarn :) & Yarn companies as you could be. That's as rare as it comes! :)

I totally agree with you,I like them both, definitely would use the just yarn for big projects and donations
👍🏼 You did a “great”-job in comparing different aspects of these two yarns. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for this review. The Just Yarn would be good for donation projects. Premier Basix is my favorite value yarn.
Thank you for your review. Great to see how our works will look after washing , after spending time making.

The thoroughness of your reviews and comparisons can't be beat. Your reviews have really helped me choose yarn for my projects. You are not only an artisan but also an educator. Thank you so much. ❤😊💐
Really helpful! Thanks, Crystal.💜🥰 I appreciate knowing what to expect relative to fading, pilling, etc.
Good review, Crystal! I’ve got to try that Premier Basic yarn.
I have used this yarn I purchased at dollar tree I think its fine especially for the price I did not know that there were big ones like this I have only see what the dollar tree sells thank you for sharing
