Let's Talk Cotton Yarn - My FAVORITE VS These Others - Are They Better 🤔 

Oh yeah! More yarn! More Crystal! More Crystal talking yarn, yes please!

I loved it, thank you. I am a beginner "crocheter" and these videos teach me so much about yarns. I never knew there were so many different cottons on a market. It's a shame I cannot touch them through the screen, but now at least I know what to look for when shopping around. Thank you, Crystal. You are a very good teacher! 🤗🙏🏻💜

I'm traveling to Kansas to Haul up some yarn from an estate sale. Ohh yeah 😂🤣👍

Your yarn videos make me happy. Love your energy. Don’t change how you are for others. I bet the majority of us watch because your joy is infectious! You have brightened many of my days while I’ve been battling cancer. I’m jealous of all the yarn you buy. But it makes me happy to learn about them. I have shopped at some stores you recommended and got some yarns I had never heard of

I could watch you all day talk about yarn. Love seeing your reactions to it!

Beautiful yarns!!! You don’t have to justify what you buy to anyone. You like what you like and you work hard so you should buy whatever you want. 💕

Crystal your excitement over a yarn haul is infectious. 😊 No judgement from me on any of your yarn buys. NO ONE should judge you at all for anything. Thank you for the yarn education today Crystal. You're the best teacher.🎉🎉💙

You never have to justify your yarn purchases. You buy whatever makes you happy and I’ll always be here to watch. Love these videos. I love learning about all different kinds of yarn 🧶 🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶

Did not know there were so many cotton/wool blends! Again, you are educating me as to what to look for in a garment worthy yarn.

I LOVE WATCHING YOU OPEN A BOX OF YARNS!!! It’s like a kid at Christmas!!!!

I don't have anyone to enjoy yarn with me either so long videos are great with me.....keep doing what you do.

Amazing balls and hanks of cotton and cotton blends! Cannot wait to see what you make for Spring time wears. What a great Friday! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the yarn!

Crystal! I love the way you raise up your arms like a surgeon waiting to operate when you open a box! Gives me and others a reason to smile. 😊 😃 😀

I like your picture frame with video of fire

Your enthusiasm is infectious. I love watching you unbox all the yarn - I learn so much through you!

My birthday today Feb 8th, I'm a winter baby, I prefer the cold. I'm really enjoy our wet winter here on the Central Coast of California.

I’m soon to be 68 and still a kid at heart for fall and winter. It’s summer here in Wisconsin and I need to get started on making my first sweater. The price of cotton yarn is so expensive now. I’ve been searching for a good quality cotton yarn without breaking the bank.

I love listening to you talk yarn. Thank you😊 Winter is my favorite as well. The colder, the better, lol

I’m with you I could have fall and winter all year long and completely skip over summers. I live in Missouri and I absolutely hate the summers; they are so hot and humid. Give me 30-40 degrees every day! thank you for another great video I love the yarn!!

Winter is my favorite season too. I always say snow is my favorite time of year. I'm glad I'm not the only one out there that's loves the snow ❤

Wool can be cool as well. The robes that the Bedouins wear in the Sahara are made of a summer weight wool. The color makes a difference too. Light colors for summer

I raised 6 boys nothing you do could gross me out❤ love the fuzzy sparkling yarn it is gorgeous

What can I say.....I totally trust you Crystal. I love the snow and pray it comes soon because I love the cold and dark dreary days. Many blessings

Noro today and everyday!!! I love me some Noro. 🥰 Noro makes stunning shawls.

I enjoy the yarn videos. I also want to say Thank you for being so entertaining to watch. You make me smile and laugh. It helps me to escape the reality of the real world problems. And I learn stuff also. Thank you!

I enjoy yarn talk with you!

It's amazing how much you know abut yarn. ❤❤❤

Little Knits and WEBS in the same week ~ such a treat!

I enjoy your videos! If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t know about the non box store yarn😊 thank you for videos!

I absolutely love watching your videos about yarn. Thank you for spending time with us all. 😊

Morning ☕️ 😂 i love when you get excited hands! Nice yarns today. ❤hey pups

Come visit Alaska! We have all the snow you could ever want 😊

I used to shop Webs in person a lot when I lived in MA…they don’t overpriced their yarns pre-discount. They are very comparable if not better than other places I’ve shopped.

Look at all that lovely yarn 😊💜 thank you for sharing this beautiful yarn haul with all of us 🫶🏻

Yes Maam let's talk about Yarn's 🥰❤❤❤! Hello Crystal 🥰❤!

Love learning about all of these cotton yarns. Thx for showing is so many different types and explaining all the differences, Crystal. 😊👍🧶

Thank you for helping us "see and feel" the yarn! I now have new ones to try out!

I received my very first Noro from one of your mystery boxes. I fell in love instantly. I made a vest out of it. GORGEOUS!

Along with "yarn/fiber" education, the unadulterated "joy" you exude always makes me smile & laugh!!! You're simply an exceptional person Crystal. Period.

I love love your videos. Learning about all the different yarns has never been so fun. I wanted to also say, I love that you included Noro yarn. It's beautiful, and I don't find it expensive, especially if you add up some of the other balls of yarn to equal the yardage of Noro. Anyway, thank you for you videos.

Love your yarn videos! Never stop!

Ya I love talking yarn with you.

Hi Crystal. Very pretty and rich looking cotton hanks. The red sparkle donut is a favorite.

I love your yarn videos ❤

Love your long videos!!! 🥰

Kid mohair is usually a fine yarn you would double up with another yarn. when using a mohair with another, you would also end up increasing the gauge and so you should also use a larger needle/hook to make your project light and lofty. I did a partner up with yarn that was considered a DK weight and added mohair and used a larger needle for the top I was creating. It just made the fabric feel so beautiful and fluffy with a wonderful light halo

You smiled so big when you brought out the malabrago verona yarn

Yeah that was fun I loved going through that with you. Learning things about why the different Cotton's are the way they are was very awesome. Thank you

Watching now, from beginning to end!!! Have a great evening! xoxo

Thank you for reviewing cotton yarns, living in a warmer climate I'm always on the lookout for cotton and cotton blend yarns.

Pretty cottons❤ Agree, that Noro so pretty, the shades of blue are amazing

That was GREAT❣️ I learned a lot about cottons today. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I would love a series on the different yarns like this. It is very informative. And because no one asked my opinion, i love the Noro yarns. They are so beautiful to me. You got a great buy on those tiday. I can no longer afford them, but i still love to keep up. Once a year i splurge on a premium yarn. Your reviews give me fantastic advice.

I have learned so much about yarn from you. Thank you!

Hi Crystal, I know exactly what you mean. I love fall and winter. I just loved to Texas, not my choice, and there is no fall at all. A couple weeks of cold weather and NO chance of snow. It sucks! Play in the snow for me please!

Love that Japanese yarn. That color is gorgeous 💙🩵💙

Learning about all the different yarns and watching Crystal at the same time is the best. 💜🥰

I love your long videos. I sit and crochet to them :)

I love watching you tell us about yarn. I have learned so much watching you. You just couldn't even imagine thank you Crystal

Learned lots. Will be a great aunt soon...learned what to make the baby blanket out of!

So glad you did this as I am looking for some cotton yarn to fall in love with.

Really like the chain spun now would love to work with it. I That's just gorgeous

Again Crystal, you never disappoint. I have enjoyed this review as always. I had no idea there were so many different cottons. Thanks again for a wonderful video.

Hi Crystal! The first time I saw you review Noro, I couldn’t believe the price. Then I bought some. 😂 I get it. It’s one of my few guilty pleasures. Thank you for doing all the heavy lifting by reviewing the yarns. It helps knowing which ones pass the test for garment worthy. Great video! I love your energy and especially when you talk about yarn. Have a great weekend! 🥰🧶

Yah! More yarn. Crystal I got my Speckled Hen yarn today, it is to die for. They twisted dark brown yarn around the lilac yarn to give it some texture for contrast color. They twisted white yarn around the lilac for the main color. It looks raised kind of like bumps but not. I cast on, and I'm doing the knit 2 purl 2 ribbing. The yarn is gorgeous, and so soft, very scarfable. This is my first tube sleeve scarf. The yarn is 120 yards a ball on size 5 circular needles. Love the mohair color, and the cakes with alpaca, wool, and cotton. Interesting you say you can make a hat out of the cotton yarn. I was told by the yarn store cotton is not good for knitting hats. I guess crochet is different. I knitted a hat with Rowan yarn really nice yarn. I worked with Noro yarn that I got on sale at Annie & Company on upper east side. Beautiful yarn but, I was disappointed with the cowl I knitted with it. It wasn't as soft as I would like. I think Noro Silk Garden is softer. I got the Noro Ito yarn.

Ty for always giving us your honest opinion! I know I appreciate it. I know everyone has different opinions about yarn, but ty for yours. 💫💫💫

This was so much fun to watch, especially because I learned a few new things, too. I do appreciate your detailed description of how the Juniper Moons mako cotton differs from other cottons. I might just have to try it sometime.

I recently got some of the ella rae denim dk at an lys when i was traveling. I LOVE denim style yarns. I also have a couple balls of the usun (mirasol makes beautiful yarns) that i got at a lys, for some future knitting project (when i actually get proficient). Rowan makes lovely yarns but, yeah, it sure isn't cheap. Their summerlite cotton is fingering weight and mercerized. And lovely to work with. The cotton you got is cotton glacé. Glacé fruit is fruit preserved in sugar. Such fruit is shiny, which is why this cotton is so named. Glacé is pronounced like "glass-say." I suspect that cotton would still be garment-worthy because it will soften up after washing. Also: the Rowan website says that it is mercerized, even though the label may not indicate that. Noro yarns are pricey but beautiful. Most of them contain some silk, which explains some of the price. The fact that they come from Japan is another part of the price point, I'm sure. Juniper Moon makes wonderful yarn anyway but that cumulus is especially incredible. I've almost bought it a couple of times but haven't because i don't have a plan for it, yet. Lol OK, I love Malabrigo yarns but have never seen their cotton. Clearly i need to hunt some down. Ha!

I bet you will make something gorgeous with that Noro yarn ❤

That sure is some pretty yarn I love the colors. Hope you’re having a wonderful day.❤

I enjoy watching you open up yarn boxes. Your excitement over yarn puts a smile on my face. I loved all the yarn in this unboxing❤

Here in west Michigan, other than one or two dustings, we have only had two real snow events where we have had a decent amount of snow that lasted for more than a day. Two. All winter long. It's ridiculous.

I think the weather is backwards lol. We're in Arizona and I think we got your foot of snow. I had to work from home for 3 days cuz they don't plow our cul de sac and our driveway is steep. We still have about an inch left on the ground at our house and its been a week since it snowed. Thanks for sharing the yarn with us!

The Rowan is good for doilies and table runners. It’s a look-a-like mercerized cotton.

Yes please! Same kind of review for alpaca. Thanks Crystal, you’re the best.

Yes time for cotton talk!!

This is a very interesting video. I've learned a lot about cotton yarn and fibers. Very nice yarns, but the first one you showed, the red Ella Ray, was my favorite.

That wool cotton blend is gorgeous spring sweater yarn. Wool is not only for winter.

Crystal, I just LOVE your yarn reviews. Would you consider doing a comparison of budget-friendly or big box cotton yarn? The ones on your video are gorgeous, but out of my price range even on sale!

Thank you so much! I have been wanting to use more natural fibers in my crochet. There are no LYS near me. All I have to shop, where I can feel, is big box stores and there selection is very limited. I want to make baby items. This video is being saved as a reference for me when I need to make online yarn selections. Again, thank you.

Good timing for me because I have been looking for wearable cottons, thanks Crystal 🥰

Mix that fuzzy metallic garnet with some of your fancy browns!!

Pima yarn is one I haven’t used yet! Will have to give it a try! Thank you for breaking them all down for me! God Bless. Take care. Love you. 🙏😇♥️

Hi Crystal, I also love when you talk about yarns. Have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Cant afford those. Id like to try a pima one day. Im making another blanket out of peaches and cream because all winter I have slept with it forsaking all other types of yarn or fabric. It feels oh so nice to me. It seems to calm the r.a. down a bit too. I know it isnt the softest but once you wash it it aint bad at all. Thank you, Crystal. I have noted the malabrigo verrano. 😊❤

Crystal that was some nice yarn. I enjoyed the podcast with you doing the comparisons. Ty.

I learned a lot today. Thanks for everything. Cotton is my favorite yarn because I like to make useable and wearable garments. I am going to save money for some Juniper Moon Mako!!

Really enjoyed this video Crystal. You are so pleasant to listen to and learn from! ❤❤😊

i love the noro solids. great yardages

I adore NORO!❤️❤️❤️❤️

I appreciate the fiber review. Very helpful and informative. And fun.

I love Noro also. So worth it ❤

I have been thinking about cotton and bamboo yarns recently - such an informative video - thank you

Awww, Crystal 😂😂 we care about your weather and other things that make you happy, like YARN. Thank you so much for sharing views on cotton yarn. I have some in my stash, and I'd love to see what all can be made with it.

This was a great video. I love to hear what others think about different types of yarn. That Cumulus is one I need to get at some point. Same with the Japanese one, rowing style is my jam as well ❤ And that bue one is beyond gorgeous! 💙

I'm with you, Noro is my favorite and worth every penny and they are kings of variegated.

Thanks Crystal!! So far I've only used kitchen cotton, but I have been interested in learning what is garment worthy cotton. Those were all so pretty, I really loved the color of the Noro 😍😍

Love the yarn you show.

I can’t wait to try noro yarns! I am in awe of their colors. Treat yourself 😊thank you for the videos.

I know what you mean about having no one to talk to about yarn! And yes I have quite a few family family members to talk to but when I talk about yarn, I can see their eyes glaze over😄

Noro 🥰🥰🥰🥰 love, love, love Noro! ❤❤❤
