Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn" is my favorite. $4.99 skein (every other week its $3.49), huge color selection, but most importantly to me is how super soft it is.

@michellem5997 11 месяцев назад

I love the softness of I Love This Yarn, I just wish it was anti-pill.

@silverfeigner Год назад

Pound of Love is a great acrylic yarn. Plus there are less ends to have to weave in because of the yardage.

@bhookedcrochet Год назад

I really love it for blankets too! If this video were "6" Budget-Friendly Acrylic Yarns....it would have definitely been the 6th option!

@susanterry4276 Год назад

I absolutely love the Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn. A ton of colors and when HL has the yarn on sale (every other week) I will stock up on what I need. I love videos like this and would watch any that you do! I also love Heartland, but it can get a little stretchy. I can't use Simply Soft - it is way too splitty for me. Since crochet is supposed to be relaxing, fighting with my yarn is not gonna work for me 😆

@abigailwren9171 Год назад

Hobby Lobby "I Love This Yarn"

@jennifercurran2857 Год назад

My absolute favorite

@awesomeninja9433 Год назад

Red heart super saver is my go to. My grandma always used it so it has a special place in my heart. Plus I still have some of Grandma's old crochet blankets and garments made from red heart that have lasted for years!

@AngelOfU2 Год назад

Here in Australia, the only one on your list that is available in stores is the Lion Brand Heartland. I've used it for one project and it came out so nice and soft. All the others we have to get online, which can get quite expensive with shipping. My go-to acrylic is 4 Seasons 'Marvel'. It's under $5AU a ball and comes in quite a nice range of colours. I do wish we could easily get Caron Simply Soft here because I see it used so often and it always looks amazing.

@claretrevor8111 Год назад

I’m a fan of Hobby Lobby I love this yarn! They also have Soft and Sleek non pilling.😊

@michellem5997 Год назад

Have you tried the soft and sleek? I was squishing it yesterday trying to decide. I was really soft.

@claretrevor8111 Год назад

@@michellem5997 Yes! I’ve made several sweaters with it. Love it. So Squishy!!!!

@ClaireNicole33 11 месяцев назад

Soft n sleek is my #1 favorite. The worsted and the dk. I use the dk with almost everything I make by running a strand of either similar or contrasting color along with my worsted. I made a Japanese knot bag with I love this yarn in a beautiful variegated fall color with a strand of soft n sleek dk pumpkin and omg it's so pretty!!Experiment with it🧡🧡

@Yarnmama123 Год назад

Hobby lobby I love this yarn is super soft.

@karenpayne-du1oc Год назад

Caron skinny cakes are great. I’ve made a few various sized blankets & even though it’s a size 3 yarn, they’ve been warm & cosy. Unfortunately here in Australia we don’t get the same acrylic range you have. Thank you for the video. Yes I would love to see your crochet endeavours with the new acrylic yarns. 🧶

@knottheendcrochet Год назад

Red Heart Super Saver (All sizes and styles) Not the softest yarn but definitely durable. I have pieces done with it that are 30 & 40 years old and they still look great.👍🏽

@bhookedcrochet Год назад

Wow, that’s incredible!

@janeshipley6993 10 месяцев назад

same here! and it can be made a lot softer and drapier if you wash it in bleach. please test wash a swatch first!

@kskc1234 Год назад

I love Hobby Lobby's Pound of Love too, it's definitely my favorite.

@michellem5997 11 месяцев назад

Yay🎉 you got the thousand likes so it's a series! 🎉🎉 I love seeing how yarns look worked up in different stitches. It's amazing to me how different the same yarn can look worked in different stitches. It would be really nice to see a yarn crocheted and knitted.

@tammyday9389 Год назад

With Love does soften with a light wash. I've used it for kids ponchos. There's so many suitable yarns for blankets and I generally go for what's on sale. Thank-you.

@Jill703 17 дней назад

Baby Bee Soft and Sleek is definitely the softest. Second is Premier Everyday Anti Pilling yarn. I only use worsted weight.

@marthapraget3021 Год назад

Thanks for this video. I’m glad to know you like Lion Brans Basic Stitch, I’m working on temperature blanket with it I had never used it before.

@laurieklem7051 Год назад

Caron cakes - the original - is taking up a good chunk of the yarn room as well as tons of Knit Picks / WeCrochet varieties - biggest fav is Brava worsted & bulky - so soft & smooth on the hooks ! But that's only half the yarn room - the other half is dk / worsted merinos and superwash merino as well as cashmere and pure wools of all kinds. =)

@pearl_b 3 месяца назад

Hobby lobby yarn! But there’s this one specific anti pilling one, called yarn bee soft and sleek , I have SO much of it cause I just adore it. And it’s very affordable :) my other go -to also has become lion brand basic stitch, but I only buy it on sale

@geekconn558 9 месяцев назад

LB Heartland is literally the only yarn I will use for my temperature blankets. It's so soft and has just the right color variety for my style. Things like Red Heart and Big Twist are just so rough to me despite the value.

@Piglady1983 Год назад

Hobby Lobby “I Love This Yarn” and “Soft & Sleek”; Lion Brand “Heartland”, “Homespun”, and “Basic”.

@beadyarngal83 Год назад

As what Susan Terry said, Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn is great also my other favorite yarn is Brava from Knit Picks. They both are nice to knit with and perfect for a blanket.

@trixieknits 2 месяца назад

Wool-Ease is one of my favs

@JodysCrochetObsession Год назад

I make a lot of blankets and Caron yarn is too splitty and soft to stand up structurally. I Love This Yarn, Premier Anti- Pilling, pound of Love and RH are my go to yarns for blankets.

@surban4369 5 месяцев назад

Premier Anti-Pilling Everyday Worsted is a fabulous acrylic yarn with a bit of structure. Worked up, it has a slight sheen and is smooth and supple even before rinsing/blocking.

@cynthiawaldorf9353 Год назад

I've recently discovered Lion brand Heartland yarn too. I love the softness as well as the pretty colors and the Heathered look in the colors. I think for the money it's a great all around yarn. Thanks so much for your top 5 Acrylic. I like these too. I also Iike Premier anti-pilling yarns too. This is my first time seeing you. I will be watching more of your videos. Thanjs bunches ⚘️🪻🌷🌼🌸

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm trying to sprinkle in a few videos here and there so you can get to know the gal behind the tutorials :)

@cynthiawaldorf9353 Год назад

@bhookedcrochet thanks so much for your text. I appreciate tutorials so much. Im really trying to expand my crocheting and having the tutorials helps alot. I can read the patterns but it's much nicer & fun doing it along with someone, and easier. I'll be watching more now..👍 Tyvm ❣️😊

@chelenapavlova1562 5 месяцев назад

I just made my Sister a throw blanket out of the Bernat Baby Blanket yarn for Christmas. She loved it! Or at least, she said she did, lol. It didn't really take that many skeins because of the bulkiness of the yarn, and it was pretty easy to work with, once I got used to it. It's good to know you can wash, and it still holds up, I was a bit worried about that.

@spacegirl2443 Год назад

Joann’s usually always has sales on yarn and coupons available you can use to bring down the cost of yarn

@Piglady1983 5 месяцев назад

Texas is too hot for anything with wool. So I use acrylic, or a cotton/acrylic blend. My usual faves are Lion Brand Heartland & Basics, Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn & Soft and Sleek. For baby blankets & gifts, Bernat has nice acrylic & cotton options.

@susanroberts Год назад

I’d love to hear more about your favourites and more videos on this. 💝🥰

@ClaireNicole33 11 месяцев назад

Hobby Lobby Soft and Sleek worsted and dk. To me, no other acrylic compares. 🧡

@veronicamadrak170 Год назад

Yes please continue videos on what yarns you use and like most. I would like to ask about where you get the yarn at....do you have a store you visit or do you order much of the yarn online? Thanks for being an inspiration for me to get back into crocheting. I love a lot of your projects and many I have crocheted myself.

@bhookedcrochet Год назад

Thank you for letting me know, Veronica! I'm so happy that I was able to inspire you to pick up your hook again 😊 That makes my day!! As far as yarn shopping goes, I have a few go-to options. When I need to see/feel the yarn, I usually go to Joann or Michaels because I have both options nearby. If I can't get to the store or I know the yarn well, I'll order from Amazon. And if none of those options work....or I find a better sale or deal, I'll order directly from Lion Brand or Yarnspirations. Basically I do a little browsing from all three sources to see where I can find the best deal!

@veronicamadrak170 Год назад

@@bhookedcrochet Unfortunately I do not have a Michael's or Joann close by. I have found the yarn from Hobby Lobby is soft and mostly affordable. It is the only store locally that carries yarn other than Walmart but the selection at Walmart is not great.

@user-st1ru6kc9k Год назад

Hi Brittany Thank you for sharing your favourite yarn to use. I don’t live in the USA or Canada so I don’t have access to many of these yarns. We have our local Home and Crafts store and they have some Caron cakes, halo and some of the lion brand yarn plus they have their own brand which is Value Ball and another called Marvel. I currently am using Stylecraft for a project I actually started a few years ago now, but a group of us have decided to commence making this blanket so here goes I’m hoping to have it done by my Nanas Birthday in August 🤞🏼it is done by then 😊 Take care and stay safe and well. God bless you all 🙏🏼💗🧶😻
