Hobbii gave us an entire collection of basic yarns. But are they a little too basic...

As someone who does a lot of commission work, the idea of the colors being the same across different fibers is a dream come true. Knowing that I could make a piece in wool or cotton and it would turn out "exactly" the same. Plus that fingering cotton looks amazing for colorwork in knitting (esp for people who can't stand wool).

@Nasturtiumsandducks Год назад

Great point! I wonder how permanent the range is, eg for making a kind of color sampler for people to order from, only to find that a few months on the range changes. If it's a new 'permanent fixture' like cascade 220, that would be so useful!

@indrabar Год назад

@@Nasturtiumsandducks That would be my fear, yeah 😔

@dbhandmades Год назад

Amigurumi is my favorite genre of crochet, so I always recommend Hobbii's Rainbow cotton (and Friends Cotton). The color range is unmatched, amazing stitch definition and it's a real pleasure to work with. And I really wish all yarns would have a Start Tab; it's a no brainer! Thank you Toni for your awesome videos!

@oscara8454 Год назад

Was thinking of picking up some rainbow. What's it good for in your opinion?

@YvonneWilson312 Год назад

@@oscara8454 I have only used it for amigurumi projects personally but the stitch definition you get is just superb. It is my "go to" cotton yarn now!

@daisyfox2452 Год назад

I just made a multi-colored puppy (knit), and was super happy with the rainbow cotton as well.

@amara560 Год назад

@@oscara8454 I made a doily with it and scrubbies. It is surprisingly soft.

@madabbafan Год назад

Love the rainbow cotton, soft and easy to work with. I tend to use the dk one (or as they call it 8/8)

@bridgetn2575 Год назад

“Wooly halo” = how I am going to describe my morning hair from now on. 🤷🏽‍♀️😁 Thanks for such a thorough yarn review! I appreciate the time you took to share all of the info. 😊

@SparklyPotatoes Год назад

Okay my theory with Hobbi is they offset how affordable some of their yarns are with some slightly overpriced luxe fibers. They know we can resist adding some of those to our otherwise reasonable order 😂

@jakual339 Год назад

This was a really helpful review overall! I found myself seeing the Friends line showing up on Hobbii recently, and feeling like I didn't "get" it. Now I definitely see what they were going for! One extra thing I would have loved to see was a comparison with Hobbii's existing cotton line (the "Rainbow"). That's the one I've been mostly working with for amigurumi, etc., and it would be nice to see how it compares directly with the new options.

@hollyblaquiere7098 Год назад

Yes this would be helpful please! Can we combine both and achieve a similar result?

@valeriehowden471 Год назад

Initially I thought the yarns were going to be named Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey + Chandler. Lol I love the idea of colours matching across fibre blends. Sometimes you like a colour of a cotton yarn but want it for another project in wool. Less guess work. Hair is 😍

@LunaChristiansen Год назад

So excited to get to play more with this yarn, just got a job at Hobbii so I’ll definitely get to play with the different yarns!

@kimberlytheodore5690 Год назад

OMG! Didn’t expect your shout out 😊… I struggled with whether to order their Rainbow cotton 8/8 or Friends. Ordered before your video for a temperature blanket for my brother so when I reorder for a different project, I’m intrigued enough to try the Friends collection. 9i also ordered the mini skeins of Palette! I’m just now digging into your book so that I can learn the Tunisian stitches and then teach my daughters and granddaughters. I appreciate you! Kimmy ❤

TONI ! I just had to tell you your hair looks freaking beautiful! There's nothing like changing up your look a bit to make you feel refreshed !! Much love girl! Love your yarn reviews!!!

@EdieCornelius Год назад

I’ve been crocheting for 48 years! (Yes showing my age lol 😂 My grandmother taught me when I was 9 years old). I love your channel, in particular, I never miss a yarn snob review. I may have grown up in Detroit but a very rural Tennessee community is where I call home now. Its very difficult to drive very far to the nearest Joan’s store and I am on that wants to feel and see the yarn before I buy it for the most part. Your videos take away a lot of the guess work for me when I can’t go and physically buy the yarn. Keep up the good work! I love you and look forward to all your videos. ❤ 🧶

Good morning This my first time watching Toni live I am excited to be in the moment Thank you Toni love you energy

@TheHappyCamperStamper Год назад

Thank you for the tip on mercerized cotton. I did not know the difference. Btw, you always look beautiful, you have a smile that just knocks a person out. But you look absolutely amazing today! I am going to have to go in and curl my hair or something lol. I feel under dressed. Oh... and I heard someone else advertising for skill share today and touting what a good teacher that Toni from TL Yarn Crafts is. I was like... "Hey I watch here, yeah she's a fantastic teacher!" It was a fun moment that I just had to share with you. Have a super day!😊

@barbara3646 Год назад

Hi Pretty lady, I always look forward to seeing your reviews. Love your new hairstyle, also your lovely scarves. You always ❤️ put a smile on my face.

Looking gorgeous and full of light! Me yesterday: “sorry Hobbi, I don’t need any more yarn, even at Black Friday prices.” Me today: “Add to cart!” 😂😂😂

@MoreTisha Год назад

I cannot tell you how much I love you for this video! My shopping cart is filled with Friends' Superwash Merino Wool. I've never ordered from them but wanted to make a sweater for my teen son without breaking the bank. Because you literally answered all the questions I had in my head you gained a new fan and follower. Happy Holidays!

@dawnrearden2374 Год назад

I love Hobbii’s Rainbow cotton. It’s so soft and lovely to work with and is lovely when made up. If the Friends version is the same, with other yarns to match,colour wise, this range is going to be an absolute winner. I love your reviews and find them so informative. Thank you.

I love a lot of the yarns Hobbii has to offer. I wholeheartedly agree with your comment that the super fine merino is "stupid soft"! 😂 Thank you for giving such honest yarn snob reviews!!

@TJtheBee Год назад

I'm sitting here (sleep deprived, half into my first cup of coffee) and I'm knitting up a strand of wool, a strand of extra-fine merino, and a strand of kid-silk, all in colour 70. Verdict? I love the fabric and I think it'll get even better with a wash and block. Downsides? Where's the alpaca, or more adventurous fibers? Where's the heavier weights of yarn? You've talked before about building a strategic stash - I would love for this to be a source to do such a thing with. But for now, I'm content with making myself my second scarf of the season. (Not to say I haven't made scarves this year...I have made...so many...I hope my local charity is grateful because it took a lot of work, but now people can be warm!)

@TJtheBee Год назад

Just thought of another thing: why are the balls so SMALL? I'm sure that's to cut down on costs on our end, but I would've preferred to have paid a little more to get double the yardage, especially on yarns like the Wool and the 8/8 cotton. It shouldn't take me more than two balls of yarn to knit up a thin scarf. That being said, at least the prices ARE as good as they are, because I guess you can just...buy that third ball and it's no skin off your nose? ...just a thought.

Toni, I love your yarn reviews. Crochet is something I picked up in summer of 2020. I don't know lots about yarn or what to expect from a fiber, but watching your yarn reviews makes me understand why I don't like some yarns, and am addicted to others. Thanks for being so detailed in your descriptions of the fibers, and showing us a swatch in progress. I love that! Thanks for continuing to make these yarn snob reviews. I LOVE them!

Thank you for your review of the hobbii friends collection. I've been comparing different wools for an heirloom sweater I want to make and I found the perfect wool in green.

i do love the idea of being able to match different colors across types of yarn !! i think it would be nice for making different pieces that you still want to match, like if you wanted fluffy mohair with your sweater but just wool for your gloves or something (: i think its also helpful for if you are a colorwork knitter or crocheter to have a bunch of nice and consistent colors to choose from ! i would love to see a comparison video of some of your favorite mohair yarns ! its a type of yarn i havent tried out but have always love the look of it held with another yarn

@Zendemic42 Год назад

For the make-along with Katie Jones starting march 16 they are promoting this yarn, and for good reason. I normally crochet but will knit for this project, and just like you did in the video, they combine the cotton and mohair in the knitting kit which is why I want to try it. I have received the kit, the colours are very beautiful and the combination Katie put together is striking.

@nimeryaspawnbrd1049 Год назад

I'm making a cardigan with the extra fine merino right now and I'm OBSESSED with it!!! 🤩 to quote little Agnes from Despicable Me, "it's so fluffy I can die!" 😍😍😍 and I confirm everything Toni said: it's super bouncy and smooth, the stitch definition is to die for and I really love to work with it. I'm in Europe, so we probably have different price lists and different sales, but I've bought it around 5€ per ball (no idea what the €/$ change may be right now), which is a really good price for merino here, and now with the black friday promo it sells for even less. if I really have to find a downside, despite having a good yardage, when you work with textures (FLO/BLO, FPdc/BPdc ecc) the stitches tend to be slightly more yarn consuming than the average, in this case I guess it's due to the bounciness.🤔 Not really a problem, thou... I hate to get near the end of a project to find out that I miss those few inches of yarn, so I always buy a couple of extra balls. Worst case scenario, I get enough leftovers for a hat or a pair of fingerless gloves 😊

I just started crocheting with hooks (before only did finger crochet) and happened upon this brand. So far I really like the 8/4 cotton for small toys and things like pot holders, I'm now experimenting with the 8/8 and will definitely move onto the mercerised and merino when I start going into clothes! It's basic but I feel like for a beginner that's great. Thank you for your in depth review!
