A Small Haul Y'All!

[@kimberlymatney2128]

Omg! The most expensive item(s) that was bought for my crafting was bought for me by my father 😁 he bought me a set of Addi knitting machines!!! They were on Amazon for just under $400! I was in tears when he told me he got them!!! They should be here tomorrow (Friday, May 3rd). I have had the Sentro knitting machines and both the 48 needle and the 22 needle broke just recently. He insisted on buying the Addi machines for me because they are more durable. I am 44 years old and my Dad still spoils me!!!

[@linxadragon6839]

Hey Jayda, fyi. I can't 100% see the hook names, but if the lime green is a Prym hook, it's actually pronounced "prim". I know because I've been fussed at twice and actually yelled at once regarding the pronunciation. Not sure why it's so serious. 😂 But, I don't want that for you. Glad you had fun enjoy your haul. Lastly, yay I've got everything needed for the CAL. WOOHOO!

[@JaydaInStitches]

LOL! I guess "Prim" must be trademarked as something else 😂

[@maggieprice357]

My husband recently took me to a Mennonite yarn shop where the ladies give classes on all sorts of fiber arts. He told me to go get whatever I want and I sure did 😂 almost choked when they said $250. But the yarn is hand dyed, hand painted, and hand spun from their own sheep!! They’re so beautiful.

[@karenemerton5128]

Love your enthusiasm!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

😁

[@heatherscott1265]

😂 I had to chuckle when you were showing the bright pink yarn and explaining to us how you couldn’t resist getting it, as I saw the several other bright pink skeins of yarn on the shelf behind you. lol I get it though.

[@aolsweetsew]

From one dork to another, be you, Boo! Your happiness and joy really make me happy and inspire me. I love the pinks in your hall! I love how you've stored your yarn with personality. I've got to work on my yarn storage/stash, but have two new curious kittens that make everything a little more challenging. But, the joy they bring is with every. single. challenge.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you so much!!

[@oliviaparton8613]

You're great, Jayda. I love your happy disposition; its contagious. You're an awesome teacher and just so pretty😊

Thank you so much Olivia!

That pink yarn is beautiful.

[@sandygrogg1203]

I am one of those folks who did not like the friend. It was so pretty, and I wanted to love it. However, the shaft is too long, there is no thumb deck, and I don’t like to have my hand that far away from my work. Also, I have a child size Hands and the friend was just plain too long for me. So I gave it to my great niece, and she loves it. She has long tapered fingers, so I think she will enjoy using her new brand. I have the pink clover also, and I love it. I find that the handle of the larger clover and more books feels so nice. They don’t feel, but it’s hard to describe exactly how they do feel. All I know is that I love it. These hooks are light and beautiful and so nice to work with. I think you are going to love your new pink book.

[@Kiertiana]

My most expensive purchases by far are my Furls Resin hooks. I haven't bought them all at the same time, but I have quite a few of them. I learned very early on that the Furls hook work better for me due to their wider handle. I have severe carpal tunnel. I can crochet much longer in one session with those than I can with the typical in-store erganoic handles. On top of that, the resin hooks are just beautiful to look at as well. They're definitely functional art for me. The metal "flat" hooks - I can't even use those for more than 2 minutes. Jayda, we love your goofiness! ❤

[@tinalee4220]

Wow Jayda your lace project are beautiful

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you so much!

[@heidicameron878]

Beautiful yarn Jayda!!! I love the pink!!!

[@loriegonta3622]

I love doing doilies as well. I have given them as gifts and some appreciate it others just say thank you...I would love to do a table cloth...I have this huge ball of beige thread...

[@katherinerobinson]

LOL we love dorks!! Makes us feel right at home. Well for me it does anyway lol.

[@suzannewallace6216]

I like to make lace dollys but can only manage smaller items now. I made five different small designs, then put them into a clear framed 'picture' to make a sort of collage and hung them on my bedroom wall, looks pretty. Looking forward to seeing what your designs are like and crocheting along! The rainbow lace would make lovely coaster shapes. Thanks so much, Jayda for everything you do. 😊

[@autumnfortier2754]

The Peacock colored thread looks awesome! Can't wait to see what it looks like.

[@bettyjorodgers8552]

Great video. Love it. Love clover hooks. Thanks

[@lorijones1035]

Hi Jayda, My most expensive item purchased was a wooden bowl with a flower design on the outside of the bowl. It is used to keep the ball of yarn from rolling away. I absolutely love your cheery disposition; you take me to another place where all my worries melt away.

[@JaydaInStitches]

HI Lori! That sounds like a very pretty bowl 💗 Thank you for being a part of our channel Family!

[@dianechicklo7961]

Luv it have tons of

[@andeenovotny]

So glad to have found you. Starting my crochet tomorrow! Think i'll start with the adorable heart square, so wish me luck. Thanks.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Hi! Welcome to our community! Thank you for watching 😊

[@karrendouglas9329]

my clover were most expensive but love them wouldnt be without them jayda x have great day

[@DNAdebwudtke]

I bought a prym hook on a road trip so I could crochet in the car. I wasn’t sure about a plastic hook but it works well with acrylic for me!

[@Amanda_Humphrey]

Hi jayda, that neon pink is awesome! I wouldn't have left that behind either. Lol. So bright and cheery. Love the rainbow 🌈 cotton. You did well for your stash!. Always a joy to see you! And love your shows! Mandy uk 🇬🇧 xxx😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you! 🤗

[@Sandy42800]

Great haul of yarn! The Pink yarn is a beautiful color! Rainbow yarn is pretty too! Great crochet hooks! The most expensive crochet item is the yarn 😂😂. I kept buying yarn on sale. I now donated yarn to this thrift store in my neighborhood! Enjoy! 😻

[@elaineyakatan2310]

Hi Jayda. I just finished a sweater using a Prym hook. Size L 8mm. I have the Clover Amour sitting next to me in case the Prym didn’t work out! Love them both. I am Pencil holder

[@barbaracalvo6539]

Loved the aqua color yarn. Beautiful! I just got a furls stainless steele hook. My most pricey recent purchase but worth it.😊 Stay dorky, it makes life more fun.😅😂

[@JoyceN818]

Enjoyed seeing your hauls. I love my Clover hooks too. I also like the Tulip hooks but I, too, have a pencil hold.🥰

[@flowerwoodss]

I also have a knife grip, and i LOVE my prym crochet hooks! I have the exact 6mm hook with the lime green handle like in the video, and i have some of their 4mm, 3mm, and 5mm hooks! I love them, and i think theyre perfect for people who crochet with a knife grip!

[@starlafleeman]

The yarn is beautiful. It will make some great projects.

[@MsSamanatha]

I love it when yarn comes off the shelf and into a cart 😂😂 happens to me a lot lol

I have been looking for Green thread , and I just got the Hersherners Catalog and they have all the colors for 3.99 and the variegated also , I love the Ocean Color , Thank You for a very interesting video !! 📷 ❤ It !!

[@KoreneKeggKorkie]

Hi Jada. Enjoyed hearing about the supplies. Especially the yarn and your description of the colors! Have a great weekend.❤

[@danimom7313]

Yay! I'm struggling with a lace runner for my oldest daughter Jazzmine I'm so excited for a Doily Party 🎉

[@cherylherrera6917]

I always use clover hooks, love them. And now I bought me some dots and I like those too very nice. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@danimom7313]

I bought a magnifying glass floor lamp a couple of years ago that you can adjust the height so if you're sitting in a chair or in my case laying in a hospital bed it folds over so I can have it anywhere I want in my lap to look through the lens lens is approximately the size of a small dinner plate about 6in across and it has several different light options from super bright daylight to very nice warm I'd say amber glow and that way I can see my stitches for doing cross stitch and lace crochet ❤

[@JaydaInStitches]

Oh wow, that sounds amazing!

[@Karen822]

My most expensive craft items are my Furls Odyssey crochet hooks. They are the only ones I use anymore. They have been discontinued now, but not before I purchased 16 of them! I don't care for their resin or wood hooks, although I have a few of those too, so I should be safe now.

[@KimMesser514]

WOW, that's a huge spool. Lol...😂😂😂😂 Joking, holding it so close to the camera make it look enormous...lol😅❤❤❤

[@theastewart6721]

Hi Jayda. Nice haul! I love my Clover Amour hooks. I have 2 sets in all sizes. I had to order the larger ones separately. I do have the Tulip Etimo set but they didn’t cost anywhere near $100, let alone $200. That’s wild! I learned on Susan Bates so now I always check each project with each style of hook either inline or tapered with the specific yarn called for and see what works best for that particular project. I have a Prim I think, lol. They make great knitting needles too. The most expensive tools I’ve ever purchased have been my interchangeable knitting needle sets. Thanks for sharing.😊

[@KimMesser514]

FYI JAYDA, I can use thread anymore for long periods so I'm making doilies out of cotton 24/4. They turn out really well.❤❤❤

[@smidgentigre]

I think my most expensive single craft item was my 1978 Lendrum single treadle spinning wheel. ❤ I barely use it, but it’s beautiful and so well made! My husband bought it for me after he was admiring the spinning wheels at the Ann Arbor (Michigan) Fiber Fest in the early 20-teens. I also have the Addi knitting machines. I got the large first, then the 22 needle one after. I love that my kids can use them to make scarves & hats. Oh, and my son made his 7th grade TA (teacher assistant) a handsome 4 panel wool blanket of 4 tubes of 3 blue shades and a brown for her baby boy. 🎉🎉 wheel ~$400, Addi’s~150 & 130. US dollars

[@ElleThe1andOnly]

My most expensive haul was splurging on Knitting for Olive Pure Silk in Ballerina from Denmark. It is fingerling weight and I plan on using it for clothes project. It wasn’t expensive per ball $13, but the size warranted a bigger amount of yardage. I found a brilliant Dutch creator who created a pattern called Berries yoke sweater which I believe would be amazing in this silk. I will be double stranding to match the pattern hook specs. The other expensive buy was a rainbow coloured Furls hook, twice because I dropped and broke the first.

[@matildarei]

The Mexicana IS in rainbow order. It’s one of my favorites to use. 💕💕💕 You’re going to love it!! I love to make black doilies and finish them off with the Mexicana thread.

[@BarbaracBlevins]

A white doily with that varigated yarn flowers around it would be fantastic!

[@jaanaffi]

Thanks Jayda and Mr InStitches❣ I'm using Prym hooks and love to use them❣ I have a couple of them ☺.

[@kathywelch8722]

The thread colors are so pretty. I can’t wait to see what you make with some of them. The pink yarn is a beautiful color. I love my clover hooks, but I do have others I use occasionally. Other than yarn I haven’t bought any crochet tools for a good while. I guess maybe the crochet genie I bought last year. 🧶💜🙏🏻

[@kait2583]

I recently bought and tried a prym hook (3mm) for a smaller stuffed animal project and it was a lifesaver compared to my usual aluminum ones! I'm considering getting more but as it is my first ergonomic hook it may be good to research another brand. Looking forward to the comparison video! Love the colours you picked up. I did a doily in the lighter varigated rainbow thread and would love to see how the richer colour way comes out!

[@mariephillips1393]

I love my Amour hooks and I also enjoy my Prim hooks when working on larger projects, such as blankets

[@chrisingenito5483]

Hi Jada, l love all your goodies you bought… my biggest expense lately was $94. USD for a set of Tulip Etimo Rose crochet hooks. They were recommended on another video I saw. Like you, I was a bit disappointed with them. I have hand arthritis so comfort is so important. My favorite are the Clover Amour hooks. Looking forward to see how you like the Prym one. 😃

[@krystasimmons8611]

The loops and threads soft classic yarn is my favourite yarn! And it’s the right price and comes in a lot of colours. The red heart Mexicana is my favourite color way of all time! I also have some of the thread, it works up beautifully!

[@laurahummel2677]

Going to Maryland sheep and wool festival this weekend I can’t wait!

[@traciperdue]

I like the clover amore, they’re too short for me. I love the Prym because they’re longer. Hope you’re having a great day.❤

[@mariajohnson2294]

Yay! extra video! I love the crochet thread. I have that Mexican rainbow one. I used it in the stained glass square, which I showed you.

[@laurathunder4388]

Hi All. I haven't bought any craft items in quite a while. I'm on a craft buying hiatus at the moment..... I don't compare my yarn or crafting stash to anyone else's, I just feel like i'm overwhelmed by the amount of crafting items I have so i'm trying to work through some of them before I buy more.❤😊

[@shirleymcguinness809]

excited about a new project ....Brantford Ontario, Canada

[@cherylschram862]

She’s so cute❤

[@maevelarsen9788]

It's become so expensive to craft. Supplies and tools both. I try to keep my eyes open for deals, but the prices have become a little on the ridiculous side. Still worth it; it's great therapy, but it seems to be getting more expensive all the time. One day soon, I'll need to go out and replenish my stash, but we're moving soon so that can wait a bit. I'm hoping the prices begin to stabilise so that those of limited means can still find some enjoyment in their craft. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the multi-coloured thread; it's so pretty! Also looking forward to seeing your wall hanging come together. I enjoy your videos immensely, even when I don't have anything on my hook; it's a nice way to spend time. Thank-you, Jayda!

[@cynthiacazares4807]

Jayda, Good luck with the Prym hook. It hurt my wrist to use it. Maybe my hands are too small. Lucky for me, I just bought one hook. Will stay using my Clover Amour hooks.😊

[@reannehancock2609]

My most recent and expensive item is an Amish yarn Swift. I love this one! My hanks of really nice yarn cake up nicely, without it,a nightmare!😐 Happy Croching with your new hooks😊

[@georgiclifton6670]

It's good to be silly/dorky at times. Life is too short not to enjoy

[@darrinmckeehan5697]

I've never used either of those brands of hooks. Only bought a set from Temu, rubber handled hooks in a good variety of sizes. Other than those I've only used Boye(much prefer)& Susan Bates{don't really care for the hook end on them}. I haven't spent much $ on anything new craft wise in a long time, bc I get yarn from auction through a friend... and I have way more crochet hooks and knitting needles than any 1 person needs in a lifetime 😅😂. Plus I'm given yarn by two friends...

[@zitatempleton4821]

I bought a set of the clover amour hooks. Looking forward to the hook review.

[@passerine00]

Early to a Jayda video, yay!! I'm usually working during the time you're live, but it's always good to see you in my feed.

[@missunderstoodmal1700]

My most recent purchase was some beautiful ombre yarn from Caron. I think it was called faded jeans and goes from white to blue. I have great plans for a blanket with these skeins. 😄

[@JaydaInStitches]

Oh wow!

[@danimom7313]

Oh that Pink is GORGEOUS 😍 it looks like it's glowing on screen 😍

[@gailliggett7564]

Oh goodness, I'm making a ragdoll plushy and the yarn i like is all out of stock at JoAnns and the yarn i found to replace is Bernat baby velvet, it was 25% off this week, but wow 5 balls of yarn with a 5$ coupon and still $50 to get out the door.

[@tinalawrence7491]

Yeah prym didn’t work for me but I do love the dot hooks from we crochet. The only thing is they are longer and because my hands are small the clovers are perfection for me ❤

[@floief]

I think you'll like the Prym hook :) I have nearly the whole set and use them most. Also, have a set of Clover Amours and like them almost as well. (probably cuz I use a knife grip) Thanks for the peek at your new yarn!

[@thursaziegler2351]

Love your video.😊

[@JaydaInStitches]

[@maryjeankancel5925]

My most expensive, so far, is a yarn winder for large skeins. I purchased one for smaller sizes (5 oz) and it was a game changer. So I just had to get the large size.

[@fionastube2011]

Word of advice on the Prym hook: they can ‘squeak’ or drag a bit. If that happens, try rubbing the hook with a dryer sheet. Also, FYI, the Pryms are also available in a metal shaft (more traditional style hook) version. I have a complete set of both styles and love them. They aren’t my only hooks, but I like to alternate between hooks.

[@JaydaInStitches]

Thank you for the tip!

I bought the whole set of Clover Amour hooks 2.25 through 6 mm.

Fun little haul! Thank you for sharing with us! Most expensive? A bunch of Furls crochet hooks because they were being discontinued so I had to! lol.

[@badrake4696]

Love your yarn haul. I totally love my Clovers hooks. After crocheting for 52 years my arthritis is pretty bad. I tried those Prim hooks because they are longer but hate them. The G hooks splits the yarn. All of them squeak when using acrylic yarn--my primary yarn. Then a creator recommended We Crochet Dots Hooks. They come by sets and seem to go on sale often. OMG I love them. Shaped exactly the same as Clovers except they are 1/2 inch longer and a little thicker grip handle. They are even more comfortable than Clover and I have retired my Clovers. I use knife grip and crochet about 4-6 hours a day. Check them out: We Crochet Dots.

[@debbieswanson780]

Oh oh oh Jayda! I love the idea of lace type crochet. I have a suggestion Maybe you could lead us in crocheting cuffs for our light summer sweators or peeking out from under our suit jackets. Maybe the pineapple pattern? Pls pls pls!!!!

[@JaydaInStitches]

That's a pretty suggestion Debbie! 😊

[@MimiMakesKeepsakes]

My Furls stainless steel Streamline hook. I think that may be the most expensive. ☺️

[@katherinerobinson]

I got a Prym and I didn't really like it. It felt like I didn't have much control with it. I got some from Amazon that look similar to your Clover Amour hooks and I seem to like those. I'm a pencil grip so I'd be curious to see how you like the Prym with a knife grip.

[@annettelauzon8854]

I’d have to say the most expensive purchase lately was specialty buttons for baby boy items I’ve made to welcome my new grandson 🎉

[@sugarplum9101]

Red heart comfort yarn

[@tainyaross2842]

Good Morning Jayda one Day We went to Hobby Lobbys I spent $100.00 dollars in there that was great for me!😂I love the clover hooks They feel really good in hands I deal with a lot soreness sometimes 😊Thank you for sharing this see you next week Girlfriend ❤❤❤

[@mariephillips1393]

Fun haul. I wish I could hold and crochet with the threads. My poor arthritis hands just can’t do that anymore

[@holleysmith1342]

I tried a Prym hook - liked so much about it, but think maybe I got a dud hook. The drag on it was just awful and I tried different fibres with the same results 😢. I’ll stick with my Clovers. Hope you have better luck with yours.

[@billieknight9562]

Let me preface my comment with a little info about me. I’m 83 years old and I live in FL. I just received the Addi 46 hook machine with the books included. What was I thinking!! Since I live in Florida and I am only interested in making scarves and hats, I realized that I had made a very expensive mistake. The machine in so pretty and very useful for someone in a cooler climate but not something that I will use enough to justify the cost. I had a great time looking at the books but reality finally tapped me on the shoulder so it is reboxed on on its way back to Amazon.

[@roblivinghisbestlife]

I’m definitely a knife grip 😂stab the yarn hehe 😅 I have the 8mm hook and love it too!

[@TinyLittleBlessings]

Oh my that neon pink is gorgeous 😍 The most expensive thing I recently bought would be yarn! I purchased my first yarn mystery box. I think it was $28 US and another one for $20 US. I have tried the Prym hooks and so far I am not a fan. My acrylic yarn does not glide well on it which slows me down.

[@dramdarmody7239]

the most i've paid for a single crochet item lately, and ever I suppose, is $25 for a hank of hand dyed yarn from Arcane Fibre works. I actually bought two. They're very pretty, but I think I'll stick to cheaper acrylic yarn from now on😅 I should be saving my money 😝

[@belantww]

I remember when you reviewed the tulips and said that you didn’t like them. Since I have a problem, I have a full set of the tulips as well as the Amour hooks. I love them both! I am also a knife holder, but I find that the smoothness of the tulip hooks works best when I am working tightly. I find that the amor hooks work best with really smooth yarn. Let us know how you like the prim hooks. I know people either love them or hate them like you said. It’ll be interesting to get your take on them. Let your dork flag fly!

My most expensive purchases recently have beeen chalk painting supplies. This will be my first project so I had nothing.

[@maryanns.3870]

Not sure if it counts but last year for Christmas I crocheted a blanket for my son using West Yorkshire spinners Retreat Yarn. I think I used 8 skein with the price per skein varying depending on where and when I got them. It probably cost $120 US for the yarn. I also purchased an Ophire hook after seeing a review. I think the crochet hook as around $16 and I don't like it. I just don't like how the yarn feels on the hook. About a year ago I decided I wanted a wooden yarn swift. Made a deal with the husband. He could get a new drill and make one for me. I figure win win. He got something and I got something. It was not inexpensive.

[@desireefoxfire2582]

Most recent and expensive crafting tool purchase? Hands down, it was an Addi Express Pro knitting machine, 22 needles, $100 USD - used. Already made a couple of foxxy-gurumi (what I call my amigurumi) with it - a multi color (grateful dead?) bear, and a minion, because everyone needs minions! loll. :)

[@crocusconnections8202]

What kind of loops and thread yarn is it Impeccable or soft classic

* reads label * looks like it says "Soft Classic". I didn't even see that the first time 😂

My most expensive purchase was alpaca yarn @ $25 American/skein. I needed 4 skeins to finish a project using alpaca yarn which was gifted to me. 😂
