What Aldi's are participating?

Cute cardigan! I hope it fits you well!

I bought lots of the aqua and white baby yarn. My store only had 2 left of the variegated green baby yarn and I left those as didn't think it was enough to make anything. Last event I made a blanket from the variegated blue and used 6mm hook, probably 12 balls but it was a lot longer than it was wide. And i did only hdcs. Took a long time 😅

Katie has a very nice collection of vintage and contemporary pieces that are still on sale ❤ at auction and he has a very good 👍 I think it’s the first watch he wears and I like 👍 so I’m going for a new watch and I will definitely keep this in mind when buying the next time I’m out in Europe I might be interested too but I can’t guarantee the exact amount

It's probably the fairs you're choosing. I watch a few craft market videos from the UK and there seems to be some good ones. It will also depend on your location. I hope 2025 will be better for you!

I usually use a size 8mm hook because I make baby blankets with it and I don’t want them to be stiff, maybe you should do a few swatches first X

Used 10 baby yarn for a baby blanket.

I originally got 4 of the green variegated with two aqua for a baby blanket and realised I wouldn’t have enough! Delighted to find some more yesterday and hope to be able to finish the blanket now 😊 Thanks for your great video, using a 6.5 mm hook and a v-stitch design, loving how it works up.

I made a small child size with 8. I used a 6.5mm. Gorgeous colours

This yarn is gorgeous, but you’re right, it doesn’t go very far. I made a bucket hat with the green variegated from last time, and it took a whole skein. It looks fantastic though, and has a bit of a camo look about it. I used a 7mm hook but it worked fine❤

I bought about 25 balls of baby yarn in aqua green, variegated green and cream. I’ve started a granny square blanket and it is lovely to crochet with. Thanks for your video.🎉

Congrats on your success! Started my Etsy shop and this KZbin channel alongside it at the beginning of the year so it’s really great to hear about your experience!xx

Why no link to Etsy or am I missing it?

Out of the figure you quote profit, have you deducted your materials!

Are you on Ravelry you could also link to your shop! And I've heard a few complain about etsy and are looking in to kofi who appear to charge less % good luck

I can't find the book you got I'll love one 😢

Lovely ideas but just to let you know chenille is pronounced shuh neel not like the perfume

I am new to your channel and thoroughly enjoyed your video. You’ve inspired me to make a few of these things thanks for sharing the links. Lynn aka Lynnpenguin 🇨🇦

My nearest Aldi only had the Aran and chunky which I didn’t need so I went to the one 45 minutes away and got the baby chenille and some of the Roving yarn X

Just ordered another20 skeins of Paris, I am making cushion covers for next Christmas. ❤

My aldi was rubbish.

I went to the Aldi yarn event and got some bits to make things for my Christmas craft fairs end of the year and yarn to use for crochet pattern designing 😄 I didn’t do a stand alone vlog on it, but did incorporate it into a weekly craft vlog I’m starting ☺️

Love to find a new to me UK crochet channel ❤

Lots of wool still left in my Aldi just knitting up the pink ombre cake I love it, I've been x2 the nursery I work in is on the same retail park I can't resist take care x

What beautiful yarn. I'm hoping there is still wool in Aldi when I go tomorrow. Thank you so much for your videos I'm loving them, Diane x

Hi 👋 ❤❤❤

I have also found this yarn it is so beautiful to crochet with, and such fab value and the colour range is amazing.

Can someone please tell me where Aldi Yarn is located. I only know of Aldi Grocery Stores. I live in Philadelphia PA. Thank you for any information.

Beautiful.What yarn did you use?😊

Just found your Channel. I am a Paper Crafter, listening to you was so like me Preaching to Crafters who moan about not doing well at Craft Fairs. My No1. piece of advice is:- DONT sit, engage with EVERYONE even if they pass your table, DONT sit looking at your Phone. Nice clean & simple Packaging . . . the Customer wants to SEE! what is in the package. Clear Pricing a MUST! YES!!! you have given absolutely 100% BRILLIANT ADVICE. Enjoy every Craft Fair you do. Smile, Eye Contact, shows your enthusiasm and attracts Customers. Good luck

I love pinks. They are very pretty colours. I crochet lots of bags, and I will definitely try the Drops Paris. Thank you for showing them.

Thanks for this video. Can you order this yarn on line?

I've been a little bit disappointed by Aldi's yarn of late. I used to love when they did the 400g balls of aran and multipacks of dk, then they switched to 100g of aran and single skeins for more cost. I found the multicoloured yarn quite scratchy in the last drop and this time around the colours are nearly the same as the last time. Maybe it's a sign I should stop buying yarn 🙂

Looks amazing!! 🤩 I tried to crochet but just never could get the hang of it but that is next level!!

There last lot of yarn felt quite rough, not as good as it used to be.

Is the ombre yarn ,like an aran yarn please. I need aran yarn in the multi pink

Is the yarn made in Turkey or China? The Turkish ones are excellent

I’ve been googling the ombre yarn and seeing conflicting information. Is this yarn more near a thin 4 ply yarn or a aran yarn. I had planned on getting some and knitting to a dk pattern but adjusting the hook size

The super chunky yarns recommended needle size says 8mm but I’d go with 12mm minimum but I used 15mm with it

Why doesn't the US aldis have yarn?

I'm new to your channel, so thank you, for the great tips. Having done many craft fairs in the past and visiting regularly so I've a couple of comments. 1, yes you are right to talk to the customers, but don't be scared to go to the front of the stall, as sometimes difficult to talk over the table & between displays. Plus others may want a look at your stall, and cannot get near, if there's someone in the way & you are in a deep conversation. 2, put up your Instagram & Facebook QR codes, as they may not want to buy on the day, but if they follow you, they know where and how to contact you in future. I know a toy animal knitter and she'll put up her latest creation in fun poses on IG, so when I see the stall it's a talking point. Good luck with the future fairs

Hi , just found your blog 😊 love it , I'm from Ireland and your markets are quiet similar to ours . I do look at the US for ideas and tips but my god there markets are off the scale. But I do love watching them . Wish we had something like that but ireland not sure about the uk but crafts took off back in lockdown and markets were born so still growing and learning 😊❤

First craft fair booked in for April 2025, I’m anxious but also looking forward to it. I think I’m quite anxious with like you said people walking by etc. I do a few different bits of crochet like tapestry, bags, hats, scrunchies, kindle books holders wristlets etc… defo do not want to overprep like you say but I’m on maternity so I’m just making loads because then at least I have stock if I see a market come up I really want to do! X

I mostly made crochet plants in 2024, cacti, an orchid, lillies, poinsettia (Christmas present). I did make 1 blanket but it took so long I was fed up of it by the end (I was just doing one stitch repeat). I've always struggled with granny squares, they always come out wonky. Perhaps I'll try again this year.

Great to see you more confident about the craft fairs! You can tell how much you have learnt from each one. Look forward to seeing what you get up to in 2025! Happy New Year 🎉🎊

❤❤❤

Hiya. I was bought this sewing machine for my birthday in June. Attempted to set up. The bobbin seems to cause my issues. Anyway, my daughter has been really ill and now I am attempting to try again ... with no success.

Wow

My life 😂😂😂😂
