Yarn Review | Yarnspirations Caron Colorama Bamboo Blend

[@joiedevivre2005]

Caron yarn has never disappointed me. Thanks for the review, I am going to have to give the bamboo blend a try. But I do have to admit, sitting here in the Deep South where it is already 90 degrees F (& humidity is creeping up) I have to chuckle every time you say "summer shawl" or "summer anything" made from yarn that is not 100% cotton or rayon/cotton blend.

[@AltKnots]

That's totally fair because where I'm at it's basically sweater season every season😅 I would love to recreate this with 100% cotton too

[@Kayari]

Ooh! That shrug turned out super cute!!! And now it's got me thinking of making something similar, maybe even a full on cardigan (which might be a closer to fall project for me since I already have 7 ish wips I'm in the middle of) using a yarn that's actually black and that glow in the dark yarn for the ghosts, or, the idea just popped into my head as I was writing this comment, doing like a moon and stars and kind of creating like a night sky or something

[@AltKnots]

All of these ideas would be killer but especially the night sky cardigan. With the glow in the dark yarn, are you kidding?! That would be killer🎃

[@aliaschick33]

I want a tutorial on this sooooo bad! I am in LOVE

[@AltKnots]

So glad you love it! The little ghost made my spooky heart so happy as I crocheted them up🎃

[@13ellamy]

the shrug is SO cute with the little ghosts! i’ve never used a blend with bamboo before, but you’re tempting me haha

[@AltKnots]

It's crazy how soft just the little bit of bamboo makes the yarn. Totally worth checking it out in person🎃

[@MarinaMandarinaWoolyWorld]

Such a cute shrug. Thank you for an idea, now I know what to make with the yarn I have and love but didn't know what to make with it 😄 perfect project and garment for summer.

[@jackieyamadawolff2266]

The drape on that yarn 🥰 Love all the information you shared, especially the washing / drying and how well it held up. Really liking the Wisteria and Dahlia colors (I LOVE 💜PURPLE 💜).

[@AltKnots]

The drape is incredible! Such a soft cozy yarn to work up

[@rosesperfumelace]

I love that shrug. The color, everything about it. You inspired me to get this yarn. Love your channel.

[@AltKnots]

Thank you so much! Have a spooky time creating🎃

[@sykojello]

As always, adorable shrug! Love the ghosts! Caron is my go-to. I'm currently working up your Ghostly Crochet Wrap in some extra Super Softs I had lying around. But I've also been working on a couple different tops in Truboo and Coboo, so I'm excited to try this!

[@AltKnots]

That wrap is going to be so cozy with the yarn you choose! Spooky crocheting🎃🎃🎃

[@Kayla-zg9yw]

Bought some yarn last week. Watched this video. Light bulb turned on. Now I have a plan for a new project! Your shrug looks so cozy thank you for the inspo! 🙂

[@AltKnots]

We love a good creative inspiration moment here! Spooky creating🎃

[@andreakeeling9217]

Love those colors. ❤

[@nataliekeables6595]

I am SO INSPIRED. I struggle to make more light weight wearable and making a shrug like in this video looks totally perfect 💜 Thank you for all you do for us mere mortals. You are a wonderful ghoul 🦇💜🦇

[@AltKnots]

That's fantastic inspiration has hit you! Enjoy creating your own light weight spooky shrug🎃

[@alwaysreadin163]

YAAAAS SPOOKY QUEEN ❤ I'm so excited to watch! I'm currently in the home stretch of bordering a blanket for my best friend when she transfers to a uni in the fall, so this is perfect timing 😌

[@AltKnots]

Congrats on the blanket! I know I feel like "it's basically done" when I reach the boarder. Time to celebrate🎃

[@angelalackmann621]

hey kayal i just thought of something cute what about take the cream color and make a shrug and take the black grey and makle bats and put all over it that would be cute to

[@AltKnots]

Love this idea! *runs to get the yarn*🎃😅🎃

[@shannonepley1064]

I love this shrug, I would love to do this pattern where can I get this pattern? Instead of ghost I am do skulls or maybe both 😊 I love all your videos🫶🏽🫶🏽 You rock girl ♥️🤘🏽💀

[@TinaHarris]

I'm loving the black sweater you're wearing.

[@AltKnots]

THank you so much!

[@angelsnaiilz]

this looks soooo cute!! i’m always looking for different natural yarns to try for wearables. :D

[@andreakeeling9217]

Beautiful shawl. ❤❤

[@LaurenKribell]

The metal hook 😎🤘

[@marindahornsby154]

I love it! 🖤🧡 i think little crocheted candy corn or jack-o-lanterns would be cute too.

[@AltKnots]

omg I have to do candy corn next! Just screams Halloween when I start to see those little bags everywhere. Thank you for the suggestion.

[@VampyraYT]

Love the ghost throw i just hope you post a tutorial about each beautiful spooky piece you do and the patterns

[@yarniequallscrochet]

"Spooky cute". I love that. I need more of that genre.

[@AltKnots]

Totally agree! Spooky cute everything🎃🎃🎃

[@phyllishatfield4943]

Yep "Spooky" alright!

[@AC_0123]

This is incredible! Love the design. I know a pattern is a lot of work. Alternatively, do you have any tips for the ghosts? Specifically how you did the bottom part? These are so cute and would love to try and make a few for pocket accents! 👻

[@susiesdarnyarn4155]

Love the shrug…I need one in my life, right now. I’m always cold, this would be perfect for the car, when I needed…

[@AltKnots]

Totally perfect for crocheting in the car. Spooky cozy!

[@jenniferamanda5841]

So excited whenever you release a video 🖤

Thanks for joining🎃

Omg it is crazy cozy! I already started making another one😅

[@Ace_AloneWolf]

I really wish Furls still had those orange hooks. I’ve got one. Would like a full set

[@frshbrewedchaos]

I love that shrug!!! You inspire me to take a chance to make a wearable. Do you have a pattern for it? Or can you suggest a pattern for a newish crocheter's 1st wearable? Thank you! Love your channel!

[@AltKnots]

Thank you so much! I don't have a tutorial yet but working on one🎃

[@TheCrochetVampire]

Omg it turned out so cute!!! I love it! 🖤👻 do you have a tutorial for the ghosts? I wanna make some. They’d be cute on so many things; blankets, bags, hats, scarves, sweaters, etc. I have found Caron to be one of my all time favorite yarn brands. Their skeins are always big and they have so many fun colors and textures. I definitely wanna try this bamboo blend one, especially because I want more drape and soft movement in my pieces. 🖤

[@AltKnots]

No tutorial at the moment but something I freestyled. If you're looking for movement this is the yarn to try out! Such a fun piece for the whole year🎃

[@Marqaisa]

The shrug is super cute. What if you do a pumpkin patch market bag?

[@AltKnots]

Love that idea! Thanks for the suggestion

[@Lady_dromeda]

Today I discovered that the socks I was knitting were two sizes too small for my kid… i got all the way to knitting the foot when I realized that. 😩 so I decided to take a break and make a granny square cardigan for the first time. 😅

[@AltKnots]

Oh no that's the worst feeling! Best possible decision to switch up the project for a bit.

[@mawnikah5281]

have you ever tried felting your ends together?? it saves you from weaving in ends and you can't even tell where one yarn ends and another begins love the shrug by the way lol it's so cute!!

[@AltKnots]

I haven't tried this method yet. Thank you for the tip and I'll give it a try for my next shrug🎃

[@terryvoight8514]

Love it!❤

[@AltKnots]

Thank you🎃

[@socgrrrl]

Cute shrug! 👻 Thank you for the review! I’ve been looking at this yarn. $12.99 is a bit pricey, but I always have a coupon. 😊

[@AltKnots]

Yes totally stack on the coupons if you can🎃 It may very well go on sale in the near future too since it's still pretty new

[@laurendisney]

Not me feeling the need to go out and buy a bunch even though I just dropped a bunch of money on new yarn I found because of you 😂

[@kaelathompson6350]

I love the shrug soooo much. I dont normally wear halloween year round but I probably would wear this lol! (Im more of a christmas year round person)

[@AltKnots]

Thank you! The cool thing about the shrug is you could totally customize it however you want. Little trees or snowflakes would be so easy to add too🎃

[@katiekelley4284]

We’re you following a pattern, or just freehanding? Might need to make one with my pemberly yarn from Sewrella

[@jtru0]

I love the shrug 👻

[@AltKnots]

Thank you so much!

Can you do a ghost tutorial

[@Mina-12128]

I would love one, yoo! I can't read patterns yet so I have to watch tutorials. I have a mint green yarn that I would love to use for this.

[@NieceysNiche]

I started out with nah, I wouldn't wear that. I ended with I LOVE this and would totally wear it!!!!!!!!!

[@AltKnots]

I love that! Thanks for sticking around to see the finished spooky wear🎃

[@NieceysNiche]

@@AltKnots of course! ❤ Would love a tutorial!

[@ZimVader-0017]

Watching this while caking up some mandala yarn.

[@Mandas_Life]

If I did have to use up what I have I would pick it up; but that outfit looks great.

[@AltKnots]

I'm slowly working my way through a pile of summer yarn in my collection too🎃

[@MichelleWorn-qf2sh]

What pattern did you use for the shrug? Thanks

[@AltKnots]

This is just a free style pattern not one that i've written down yet

[@christinabailey6900]

Is the orange crochet book Furls.?

[@AltKnots]

It is but it's a line that has been discontinued since

[@Jensyarnandhobbies]

I wish they made that yarn in glow in dark... I think that would be cool to see for those ghosts

[@AltKnots]

I’m always here for more glow in the dark yarn🦇 With how soft this one is that’d be one of my favorites for sure

[@Jensyarnandhobbies]

@@AltKnots RIGHT!!!

[@jennifer4152]

Can we do a crochet with me video soon? I need set a side time to finish up some of my whips.If someone else doing it besides me it motivates me.
