Hey friends! 🌞 We're in the middle of a heat wave here in the Finger Lakes, and it's way too early for temps this high! I was literally melting with sweat running down my back while filming this video. 😂 I have a box fan, but I couldn't run it because it would drown out my voice. That's how much I love you all-I was willing to melt in this heat just to bring you a new video! LOL
Today, we're talking about the best yarns for crocheting blankets. 🧶✨ But first, I'll chat about the factors I consider when choosing yarn. I hope you find this video helpful! Be sure to leave me a comment with your favorite yarns! ❤️
Stay cool and happy crafting! 🥵💦🧵
Xoxo,
Christine

Recently found you on KZbin and so glad I did! Your patterns are lovely, and I will begin working on the Waffle crochet blanket as soon as the yarn arrives. First time using Hue & Me yarn and looking forward to it. Love this video and how you keep it real! Thank you!

Love your shawl! ❤

Hello, I love Wool Ease, Thick and Quick. I have used this yarn to make cowls, mittens, and fingerless gloves. It works up well, and I enjoy the many colors to choose from. Thanks for sharing your favorite brands.

I'm new to your channel. Just watched your arrow stitch video. Lovely blankets you've designed.

Thank you sooooo much for this info! I struggle trying to decide what yarn to use in my projects. I’m so afraid that if I use the wrong yarn for my project, it will just be a waste of my time, money and energy!

Hello, you should do a cabin tour too one day.

When I was pregnant in summer with no A/C, I’d keep 2 spray bottles in the fridge and “mist” myself in front of box fan. Hope that helps.
