I live in Denmark and have a Hobbii shop at a walking distance... dangerous for my wallet and my project frenzie 😅 Would love for you to review their Baby snuggle yarn , I made my first amigurumi ever with it and kinda liked it, but having someone who's had experience with multiple fluffy yarn would help!
I love the Rainbow Cotton 8/8. The second number is the ply. Default is 4 ply (8/4) sport weight I think, 8/6 is 6 strands and 8/8 is 2-8/4s twisted together. Lots of Hobbii patterns customize the yarn weight by having you hold double. I've been starting to do 2-8/4s in different colors to give me a 8/8 - Light Worsted DK feel. I am like the opposite of you, I don't enjoy chenille or acrylic and default to cotton for amigurumi. What I like about Hobbii's cotton is that they have so many colors that are made to match each other at the different weights. Usually you have to buy acrylic in Michaels/Joanns etc to get a decent choice of colors. Rainbow Cotton also has a slight mercerized look to it that I enjoy for apparel. Rainbow 8/8 feels like butter compared to many Loops and Threads IMO.
Thank you for your explanation! Everyone does have their own preferences when it comes to yarn for sure. I wish I liked cotton since it’s so durable. I am SO impressed with hobbiis colors. They seem like they actually take their time with the selection of the colors and they are so vibrant.
I’ve always been so curious about Hobbii. So many people love them and they have stunning yarns! I’m just still a little skeptical on price….. Thanks for reviewing!
I love hearing other people’s thoughts about Hobbii! I’m Danish and have a physical store in my city, and they’ve been my go to place to by yarn for probably almost 3 years now. Used their 4/8 friend cotton while watching your video even 😊 Also it’s interesting that you can’t finds the everyday acrylic XL anymore, as I can still see it on their Danish website, so maybe it’s an international thing?🤔
Hobbii is my favourite yarn brand! I discovered it last year and since then i am only using hobbii yarn. I live in Germany, so we don’t have Joann but we have three Hobbii Stores, which is pretty cool. Btw the go handmade velvet yarn is a little different than the other yarn you were testing because it isn‘t from hobbii directly, go handmade is a brand hobbii is just selling, but it is not their own brand (thats why the label is different)
Maybe not if you're in America cause you have so much more choices of brands etc. Plus you do not need to worry about norms like EN71-3 and oeko-tex 100. However, for people like me it's really worth it. My country sucks for yarn. We have 3-4 brands available and they are so ridiculously expensive hobbii is just cheaper, even with importation taxes. I've been buying when they have sales and they reduce the price when you bulk buy which none of the seller available in my country does. So overall it's really worth it. I'd kill to have access to bernat and other popular brands you guys have cause in terms of cute variegated chenille yarn, hobbii sucks and all the other brands in my country are even worse. Also hobbii is literally the only place I actually can find thicker yarn. I've been looking for thick acrylic yarn to make decorative pumpkins and all I could find in stores AND online was yarn where you have to use 3.5 - 4mm hooks. It takes forever to make anything with those sizes. All of that to say, it really depends of your locations. Clearly in the US you have some really good options so you don't need to use them.
i have the velvet yarn and was surprised by the thickness too. Amount of yarn made a lot of sense tho bc of the price since velvet yarn tends to be more expensive
i wonder if the 'everyday' yarn has been rebranded to 'amigo' bc it looks just like what u have there. also thanks for showing this. i've been keeping an eye out for different yarn brands since the announcement of a store's bankruptcy in case they go completely under bc i exclusively use their store exclusive yarn and no one else around us has the variety of colors in a simple yarn like that brand does. this seems to appear as an alt answer for that seeing as how they have so many color options in their variety of yarn types.
I hate that local stores are going under. I really do love being able to buy yarn in person. But we gotta do what we gotta do! Glad the review was helpful ❤️
I always join in on the Hobbii bingo games for a chance to win and for the discounts because I cannot bring myself to actually buy their yarn at full price. To make it worst, I love their yarn but the price is unjustified for me.
I have the same problem saying the product isn’t found 😭😭😭now that I got adult money they decided to not lemme get it. I was confused because it’s available when you click on the link but it just won’t show up in the US branch
@@Tfwcrochet great news hobbii just received my message and I got a reply. They said that they removed everyday product from the US shop and will return under a new name BUT they just don’t know the exact release date
