Elise if the hooks drag just wash them soap and water and they’ll be smooth..There’s always a coating on them it seems to me.

Thnx 4 the tip

@alicegaiba 3 месяца назад

I agree. I bought a crochet hook set on Amazon and they were so hard to work with at the beginning I almost returned them. Until I figured out they had some sort of coating and that by vigorously rubbing them on my t-shirt they turned out just fine 😅

@preciousbeautyj1043 3 месяца назад

I clean all my crochet hooks n4 using them bcuz 99% of the time there’s always residue on them from the factory/mill. I use alcohol or polish them w/an old tshirt. Takes care of the drag.

@SierraSadie1 3 месяца назад

Oh my gosh! It works! I did that on some of my cheaper ones that have drag and boy did that make a difference. It left dingy on the cloth I used. They are smoother now. Thanks! 🥰

I LOVE my Dollar Tree plastic hooks! I will admit, I did break a pink one once, but at that price point, I still feel like I get my money’s worth. If I have the size I need in my DT hooks, they are what I use. 🥰 DT yarn is definitely a decent value. I especially like their cotton - at least the Premier brand yarn. I’ve only ever bought one skein of Crafter’s Square, and I have yet to use it.

I watched a video couple of days ago about people who leave criticising comments when knitters/crocheters use cheaper yarns and equipment. This video shows people shouldn't be so judgemental. You can get some really nice stuff in discount stores. Here in the UK we have Poundland, B&M Bargains and Home Bargains and I've had some really nice yarn and goodies from all three.

I tried the avocado kit. I found the pattern to be hard to read/understand. I consider myself an intermediate/beginner when it comes to amigarumi, so it could have just been me. Also, my kit didn’t give me enough yarn to finish the project. I ended us getting frustrated and tossed it. 🤷🏻‍♀️.

@DesGonzalez-kb3iz 3 месяца назад

The Chanel yarn from Dollar tree actually works really good. As for frogging as long as you do it gently and slowly, it won’t really thin out, but if you do it kind of rough and fast, it will thin, but it doesn’t really shed much. I’ve been using it for almost 2 years now and it hasn’t let me down when it comes to my plushies and my customers love how soft the plushies are!! dollar tree also has another brand of Chanel yarn. That’s a number for worsted weight that works really well as well.

It’s pretty comparable to the Clover hook I have in the same size (though I’m a cheapskate and usually prefer the basic susan bates hooks w/ a grippy lol)

Hi Elise, I use both Dollar Tree hooks, and I like using them. I agree there are not enough sizes to choose from. I've been using both hooks for about 2 years and they are holding up well. I agree the plastic hooks are not ideal for working tight stiches or if you have a tight grip. I teach children to crochet and I don't recommend using the plastic hooks, though the colors are pretty. Thanks for sharing.

@marybethconnors4828 3 месяца назад

Bought DT Just Chenille yesterday and really liked it. I have never worked with chenille type yarns before. I have been crocheting since I was 8 and I am 70 now. I started crocheting amigurumi about a year ago but never plushies. Yesterday was my first experience with it and I made 4 Axoloti to give away to the neighbor kids. My experience was similar to your demo when frogging and a little shedding after trimming the ends off, but was easy to work with. Can’t beat the price for small projects.

@RingoHalliday 3 месяца назад

I'm curious... Did you notice if your local Dollar Tree had the Crafters Square Amigurumi kits? There appear to be six in the series of them. I bought them all, but I've only made the unicorn so far. I would be curious to see you review these.

The plastic hooks are great for traveling. I am always dropping them between the seat of the car. No big loss. I haven't tried the metal ones yet. The color pop yarn is pretty.The magnets work well as needle minders. I glue a cute button on the top to pretty them up.

@marcyspieler8668 3 месяца назад

Old school tools to determine the weight of the yarn is too look at the Guage box that has a figure of knitting needles. The box is 10 x 10 cm, or apox 4 inches. In the center is the recommend needle size. The bottom of square you will see the number of stitches in 4 inches. Divide the number if stitches by 4 to get the stitches per inch. 5 stitches per inch = worsted weight or a 4 weight, 6 = sport 3 weight 5.5 = dk, 4.5 = light bulky and so on. It looked liked the skein you had was 18 stitches per 4 inches or 4.5 stitches to the inch so a heavier worsted weight 4. Hope this helps.

Thanks for this review of Dollar Tree crochet hooks, I've been wondering about them. My grandson(9) has expressed an interest in crochet recently. He's been trying to get his tension just right. He asked me for his own supplies. I didn't really want to give him mine but not sure if I should spend money on items from craft store or cheaper products from Dollar Tree. This was so helpful. I'll be planning a trip with him to the dollar Tree for his first hooks. Thanks , keep doing what you do❣️

When my oldest comes for a visit, I always lose a skein of yarn and a crochet hook, because she will start a project and then take it home with her. lol 😂. I am going to stock up on the yarn and hooks so she can use those next time. 😂❤ Also, I found a cure hook storage at the Dollar Tree in the toy section. It’s a pink “Barbie” clothes & accessory bag. It’s a pink canvas with a clear top and a zipper closure. I keep my hooks in it along with a small notebook, a pen, scissors, stitch markers and a darning needle in it. It’s easy to grab when I am working on a project and has everything I need.

@ParkAvenue34 3 месяца назад

Does your DOLLAR TREE stock the round knitting looms (and accessories)? Are you interested in Loom Knitting at all? I saw a lot of really cute toys made on the Knitting Loom. If not, is that something you could do a show on? I'm new to this craft and I'm "hooked" The less expensive $1.25 hooks would be great for kids or anyone just staring out. That way they don't have too much money invested.

Hi Elise. I’m in the UK and we don’t have Dollar Tree, but we do have Poundland which is similar but not as good. What I was wondering is, have you tried any of the yarn from Temu yet? I have tried their chenille yarn and I have to say I love it. It crochets beautifully and frogs really well. Also their crochet kits are really cool too. I buy the all the time so I really recommend them. Maybe you could do a video review on these!

@marivonne16 3 месяца назад

As a pencil holder, this hook’s thumb rest location could not be more useless. For the same reason I also don’t have a need for the metal part to be that long at all. I would sooner get one of the plastic ones you showed bare hooks and slide on the Susan Bates foam ergonomic accessory (I know you don’t like it, I love it! 😋) so I can place the comfort exactly where I need it.

I have all the dollar tree hooks. I love the ones with the handles. I think they hold up pretty well to the clovers. I've used them a lot and they are still in great condition. The plastic ones are pretty okay for plastic hooks. I'm not a big fan of plastic hooks. I love the head on the metal hooks. One of mine had a catch like a bump in the metal, I sanded it down with a finger nail file and after that it was great.

@harvestyarns 3 месяца назад

I love going to Dollar Tree! I have bought some hooks, but the plastic ones broke on me because I make amigurumi. Those tight stitches need metal hooks! 😂 Lesson learned a few years ago when I started making them. I used to buy some yarns there as well, but my local store doesn't always carry them, but also, I usually need more yardage per yarn. However, sometimes I see colors that I don't find in brands I normally use so I'll grab a few. Ain't nothing wrong with Dollar Tree -- for yarns, hooks, or anything really. Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us!

Have you tried the website? I'm not sure how the shipping situation would be for Canada. But, I am able to ship to my local store for free. I think you have to buy their yarn in groups of 4, if I remember right. The color options online are beautiful, though, since you aren't limited to what your store has.

Hi Elise, I picked up a skein of the Just Yarn Worsted a long while ago with the intention of splitting it and making some Barbie clothes. Though I really like how it feels, I haven't put it to work yet. That's only because I kinda stopped making Barbie clothes for a bit to focus more on my sock knitting skills. I'm a big fan of notebooks too! And, I use the style you picked up for keeping track of my blood sugar numbers, insulin doses, and meal notes - like what I ate and the carb grams from food labels. I love the mini glass "cookie jar" style jars you picked up! Besides making me think of my granny's cookies, 😊 I think they'll be perfect for sorting and storing my smaller leftover yarns and your colorful yarn bobbins will look gorgeous in them too! The last crafty items I bought at Dollar Tree was a plastic, circular, 8 compartment, flip-top storage piece to put my lightbulb stitch markers in. I'm also a fan of the composition books I find at Dollar Tree. I started keeping track of my finished objects (knit and crochet) in them and I use them for project planning, genealogy notes, hook and needle inventory, yarn stash and anything else I might need them for. Lol! There's always a good use for them. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful video, Elise. You always have such great ideas and inspire me to keep creating. ✌️💜🧶

I bought like 5 of the green (6mm) hooks and hid them from myself around the house. Because I hate when you need a hook but can never find it. I need one hook with my project at all times but sometimes I have more than one project going. By hiding them around my house, I'm likely to find them and just be happy and surprised rather than cranky that I can't find them 😂 I have a LOT of Crochet hooks, some are very expensive.

I got the dollar tree craft scissors around 2 or 3 years ago. I keep them in my crochet bag, probably one of the only things from dollar tree that I use on a daily basis.

We LOVE our Helix mattress! I have bone and spine metastasis so I deal with a good deal of pain; the Helix mattress is my ride or die. No matter where I am - vacation in paradise, visiting our son in Chi, family houses; I ALWAYS miss my mattress! Not even kidding! HAD to share. Benjamin isn’t the only one who is happy, lol. And the “cool” feature!!! LOVE. Also, FUN video!!! Thank you! Xxxxx ☺️🫶🏻☺️ ~ Lisa in OH

I really like the chenille yarn from DT. I was surprised at how easy it was to work with. I haven't tried the hooks. The Just Yarn is nice, too. You can't beat DT for storage stuff!

A couple of years ago I was visiting my daughter and had forgotten to pack my hooks. In a pinch she took me to the dollar tree where I picked up an assortment of the plastic hooks, and they quickly became my favorites for almost every project! My bin full of expensive crochet hooks has practically become obsolete for me.

I was at my one of my local Dollar Trees yesterday, and it’s so true they are hit and miss. I get excited when they have what I came to buy. Nothing but the tiny cotton yarn skeins. I’ve been waiting for hooks to show up.

I love the ergonomic hooks from Dollar Tree! I've been using mine for over a year now, and they're going strong. I just picked up some plastic hooks and a crochet kit at Dollar Tree. The kit was fun but NOT for beginners
