I like that Yarnspirations is finally shipping from within Canada. I just unsubscribed from their email because the last time I ordered it came from the US & I got dinged with lots of extra charges. I am glad you educated me. Thank you Gary!!

[@carol-annmatthew5296]

Hi Gary wow what a deal..!!

[@valeriehowden471]

Great to go virtual yarn shopping with you , Gary. Nice colourways for sure - I tend to make gift blankets in acrylic because they are so easy to care for. Crocheting up some wool baskets/trays to reduce my stash leftovers. On a break from a cotton sweater reknit and socks. Take care.

[@suerussell700]

Love what Hank is wearing. The color is great. I have used Bitty Stripe and made a blanket for my brother. I do have mermaid to make something else. The first was the sunset color.

[@denisehoffmann5006]

Fabulous yarn score 🥰 I am itching to get some Bitty Stripes .... all the colors . I really like Caron Ombre yarn . It t is a nice in-between #4 & a #5 .

[@julieann5196]

Hi Gary, love what Hank is wearing, you do great work! Love the yarn, can't wait to see what you make with them. I think that would make a great blanket. My favorite is the Pink Lemonade.

[@infinitelyzero]

Great deal!! Beautiful yarns ❤🎉!! I was able to order some bitty stripes on sale in late Dec on the big sale they had and I like the colors for the caron jumbo ombre especially for big center out afgahans. I really like the rainbow colored bitty stripes, sunset beach, rattan and their blue green and blue mixes. Now they just came out with more new colors ❤😊. I am making the Yarnspirations pattern granny goes random, it was the boxing day stitch along with Mikey from the Crochet Crowd. Thanks for explaining what Batik is. 😊 I just learned something new. I can't wait to see what you make with your new yarns.

[@LindaMarie6224]

I see that Hank has returned! Lol Beautiful scarf. I love the Mermaid color!!! Since i love the beach and ocean, i have been called Mermaid..lol

[@leslielarson-vz3uf]

Hi Gary! It is so much fun to see what you purchased. I just bought a while box of the pink lemonade bitty stripes for my MIL who taught me to crochet! I can’t wait to see what you make with yours😊

[@EmmePhillips-HookinEmme]

The bitty stripes look so cool! I would love to see the crayon color way.

[@JoyceN818]

Love Bitty Stripes. Got it in Rainbow. Gonna make a blanket, I think.🥰

[@roxannapurcell7305]

Hi Gary,so nice to see you again.Love the yarn you purchased. I’ve been crocheting hats for donation,dishcloths with Laura from Mad Mimi’s Crochet and Farming and working on a solid square granny blanket to gift to a friend made with #4 acrylic. Have a great weekend!🧶❤️

[@LoriParsons]

Hi Gary! Always great watching you…it makes my day brighter🥰I’m currently knitting socks with universal yarn! I have a lot of patterns in Ravelry & Pinterest, and I choose which ones I’m gonna knit depending on who the socks are for☺️I shopped the yarnspirations sale too back in January😀Always great getting yarn on sale😁

[@dragonkat1868]

Nice yarns Gary, I'm going to try the bitty stripes soon I hope.

[@gwendoylnluckettcarrethers7600]

Beautiful yarn

[@bayareaknitter]

It’s a very windy day here in Vegas. 🌬️ I love all the color combinations that you chose! I may need to try out the Bitty Stripes! Thanks for sharing your honest opinions on them!

[@bobbiallison1117]

I am working on my first sock, still...and crocheting a beautiful blanket called Quiet Sky. Hope you enjoy your new yarn!

[@lanachan-smith4677]

Hi Gary, right now the red heart bitty stripes are on sale for 40% off and free shipping over $100. So I placed my second purchase with yarnspirations as I wanted to get more after my first delivery came and I fell in love with the yarn.❤❤

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi Gary, Cool yarn buy! 🧶🫂

[@rebelangel1626]

The blue a tan yarns together remind me of being on the beach in the Bahamas.

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

There’s a good reason the Bitty Stripes are flying off the shelves. The colors are awesome and it’s so easy to use. I’m knitting a highly textured wrap in the Moonbeam color way. I look forward to creating with some of the new colors in the future.

[@ShellyWest-d8x]

Got some Bitty Stripes in Rainbow the other day at Joanne's. It is beautiful!

[@JOanneAnnese]

I used the bitty stripes once and liked the way it worked up. It was the crayon box color 😊

[@wandapolley8431]

Really like the Rainbow mist color.

[@robinzipp1306]

Greens are my favorite too

[@ladonnastafford3914]

Gary I love your intro !!

[@marciagross4985]

Thanks, Gary. Always love looking at yarn! ❤

[@mycrochetstory7169]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE YARNS OF THE RED HEART FAMILY!!! MY NEXT ONE IS RED HEART'S LOVE!

[@mariaHernandez-wy6pl]

Beautiful 💙yarn,cold in northern CT

[@debbieward-crochet]

I love all the colors! I saw them when they were on sale and struggled with not purchasing any. (And the struggle was real!) I have enough yard to survive me, and when I can win the struggle, I have to take some measure of ……., darn I wish I had bought them! I have to be honest.

[@janecornell4890]

It's cold here too! In January I continued working on my blanket with the anniversary cake. I also worked on my Aberdeen pickle jar cowl along with various beanies for my friend's shop. There are many works lurking in my mind to make. I love the bitty stripes. I haven't decided what I will make with mine yet. Im up so late with Russ. I love Stuart! You are my "young lover" lol! There are so many great KZbinrs out there. Getting psyched to celebrate Valentines Day with my grand furries. They are getting goody bags with toys and treats. It's always nice to see your little one too!

[@nerfatari4289]

Hi Gary, freezing here in London as well at the moment. I'm currently knitting myself an oversize jumper from a woman's weekly pattern I brought. I'm using James Bretts marble chunky in colour mc84. Beautiful autumn colours. 😊

[@donnawoepke8861]

Last year I purchased the bitty stripes in Mermaid for an afghan, have 3 skeins left. I liked it so much that when they recently had their sale I purchased 6 in the Crayon Box color. I would like to see what you make with your colors. I will buy the Pink Lemonade next.

[@marielucas9186]

I like the pink lemonade

[@MyPinkBathtub-Diane]

You are going to laugh, but I JUST starting liking the colour PINK while opening up some Valentine minis that Judy gifted me this month. The colour of that Red Heart yarn is gorgeous! But I'm supposed to be on a yarn diet....dang it. 😅

[@judyscreationsincrochet2710]

I like the rainbow mist but the mermaid colour is my very favourite. That was a great sale! I have been ignoring their flyers lately because I want to avoid purchasing yarn as much as possible.

[@CharmedGrammyCrochet]

Hi Gary!

[@teresarichardson601]

I wish I had taken part in the awesome Yarnspirations sale. 😢 I love the Bitty Stripes! I’m a bright colors person. I also love jewel tones.

[@bayareaknitter]

Same! I didn’t even know that they had had a sale! 😢

[@pamstarr6570]

I am making a cable blanket on my S Loom in bitty strip crayon box. hope all is well at your home😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤

[@Mummumster]

40% off sale now on Red Heart yarn. Cheers❤

[@sue3538]

Hi Gary. I love the Bitty Stripes yarn. Works up really nice. I have purchased colorways Crayon Box, Rainbow, Mermaid, Ratan and Sunset Beach. Would like to get the Pink Lemonade next. 😊🧶👍

[@bunnygaffney2765]

The new red heart is much softer than the older yarn. I have a massive collection of the old red heart from my granddaughters sister .it was her grammas . I'm not sure what to do with it .

[@KYERRN]

Have you tried the Big Twist Menagerie from JoAnn? I am surprised at how much I like it. I was persuaded by Shannon at Another Yarn to try it. I think you would really love the green colorway, I know I do!

[@ByHookorbyNeedles]

That rainbow mist looks lovely, ideal maybe for a baby blanket? Or would it be too rough?

[@mnmarsch]

I can’t place your accent. Very unique

[@MadMimisCrochetandFarming]

Love all that you showed and said till you said green was your favorite color. It's people. Soylent Green is people.

[@enchansin-cindy]

[@valferguson8322]
