Elise if the hooks drag just wash them soap and water and they’ll be smooth..There’s always a coating on them it seems to me.

I agree. I bought a crochet hook set on Amazon and they were so hard to work with at the beginning I almost returned them. Until I figured out they had some sort of coating and that by vigorously rubbing them on my t-shirt they turned out just fine 😅

I clean all my crochet hooks n4 using them bcuz 99% of the time there’s always residue on them from the factory/mill. I use alcohol or polish them w/an old tshirt. Takes care of the drag.

I watched a video couple of days ago about people who leave criticising comments when knitters/crocheters use cheaper yarns and equipment. This video shows people shouldn't be so judgemental. You can get some really nice stuff in discount stores. Here in the UK we have Poundland, B&M Bargains and Home Bargains and I've had some really nice yarn and goodies from all three.

I bought that 4.5mm metal dollar tree hook back in November and it’s held up really well! I’ve used it for several projects, and I like it a lot. It’s pretty comparable to the Clover hook I have in the same size (though I’m a cheapskate and usually prefer the basic susan bates hooks w/ a grippy lol)

Bought DT Just Chenille yesterday and really liked it. I have never worked with chenille type yarns before. I have been crocheting since I was 8 and I am 70 now. I started crocheting amigurumi about a year ago but never plushies. Yesterday was my first experience with it and I made 4 Axoloti to give away to the neighbor kids. My experience was similar to your demo when frogging and a little shedding after trimming the ends off, but was easy to work with. Can’t beat the price for small projects.

The plastic hooks are great for traveling. I am always dropping them between the seat of the car. No big loss. I haven't tried the metal ones yet. The color pop yarn is pretty.The magnets work well as needle minders. I glue a cute button on the top to pretty them up.

Hi Elise, I use both Dollar Tree hooks, and I like using them. I agree there are not enough sizes to choose from. I've been using both hooks for about 2 years and they are holding up well. I agree the plastic hooks are not ideal for working tight stiches or if you have a tight grip. I teach children to crochet and I don't recommend using the plastic hooks, though the colors are pretty. Thanks for sharing.

He asked me for his own supplies. I didn't really want to give him mine but not sure if I should spend money on items from craft store or cheaper products from Dollar Tree. This was so helpful. I'll be planning a trip with him to the dollar Tree for his first hooks. Thanks , keep doing what you do❣️

I love going to Dollar Tree! I have bought some hooks, but the plastic ones broke on me because I make amigurumi. Those tight stitches need metal hooks! 😂 Lesson learned a few years ago when I started making them. I used to buy some yarns there as well, but my local store doesn't always carry them, but also, I usually need more yardage per yarn. However, sometimes I see colors that I don't find in brands I normally use so I'll grab a few. Ain't nothing wrong with Dollar Tree -- for yarns, hooks, or anything really. Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us!

Another great video thank you. One of my favorite items I buy from dollar tree for my crochet is the essentials heavy duty storage bags. They come in 2 sizes L and XXL. The L size has 2 bags per box the XXL just has one per box. These bags are ziplock and have a nice handle. These are so great for holding your yarn and your crochet project as you’re working on it. I wish I could add a picture of the box but I don’t know how to do that. You can find it on the dollar tree website. I just checked the website you can buy 48 of them for$60. They can be hard at times to find them in the stores at times.

Hi Elise, I picked up a skein of the Just Yarn Worsted a long while ago with the intention of splitting it and making some Barbie clothes. Though I really like how it feels, I haven't put it to work yet. That's only because I kinda stopped making Barbie clothes for a bit to focus more on my sock knitting skills. I'm a big fan of notebooks too! And, I use the style you picked up for keeping track of my blood sugar numbers, insulin doses, and meal notes - like what I ate and the carb grams from food labels. I love the mini glass "cookie jar" style jars you picked up! Besides making me think of my granny's cookies, 😊 I think they'll be perfect for sorting and storing my smaller leftover yarns and your colorful yarn bobbins will look gorgeous in them too! The last crafty items I bought at Dollar Tree was a plastic, circular, 8 compartment, flip-top storage piece to put my lightbulb stitch markers in. I'm also a fan of the composition books I find at Dollar Tree. I started keeping track of my finished objects (knit and crochet) in them and I use them for project planning, genealogy notes, hook and needle inventory, yarn stash and anything else I might need them for. Lol! There's always a good use for them. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful video, Elise. You always have such great ideas and inspire me to keep creating. ✌️💜🧶

I got lucky and in different dollar tree stores I found all the hooks. The 3 metal and the 6 plastic I keep in my car. If I lose or break then no big deal. I find when the plastic ones get a little rough I run them through my hair and thwy are good to go again. The natural oils on the scalp work great. My dollar tree isn't that great but others around my area are better so outside of my close store I found the chenille yarn and now looking forward to using it. Thank you for the informative videos and can't wait to shop for more.

I LOVE my Dollar Tree plastic hooks! I will admit, I did break a pink one once, but at that price point, I still feel like I get my money’s worth. If I have the size I need in my DT hooks, they are what I use. 🥰 DT yarn is definitely a decent value. I especially like their cotton - at least the Premier brand yarn. I’ve only ever bought one skein of Crafter’s Square, and I have yet to use it.

Hello beautiful lady and thank you for an awesome video 💕 I’m a go to Dollar Tree person and use the yarns for smaller projects and plushies, plus the just yarn and chenille yarn are a premiere product at a smaller scale. A lot cheaper and more yardage on average. Right now premiere has their premiere basic chenille at $3.99 of only 112 yards versus two Dollar Tree skeins at $2.50(+tax) with 130 yards and it’s good yarn. I purchase as much chenille as possible at my local dollar trees bc one budget two more yards for my dollar and last why not. I love DOLLAR TREE 💙💕💙

What an excellent review. Not everyone remembers to think about how people who hold their hook and yarn differently might fare. The majority of my hooks (even ergonomic ones) are less than $3. Now I have more to hunt down! I hate plastic hooks but the bendy ones are too cute and your review sold me.

Okay, no hooks at my Dollar Tree. There was barely any yarn. Craft area was a mess. I did get my gift bags, and one small basket to organize my table.

I bought the yarniss hook set and use it all the time. ❤ I've been crocheting for over 30 years. Soap and water is a great idea, thanks! I don't care for the yarns at Dollar Tree either. I have gotten a lot the little things you have they are awesome things to help with organizing!

I've used the plastic ones before, on amigurumi as well. They aren't my favorite, due to the flimsy/overly light weight. However, I've been fairly aggressive with them, and they haven't broken yet! Perfect for travel or when you are going to an event or something and don't want to risk using your good hooks.

My favorite crochet hook I got at a Daiso at school. Chiba, Inzai area. I'm sure US Daiso also have them, however they aren't everywhere.

You’re lucky to have your yarn bid looking that good…when our Dollar Tree had yarn it was always in a big jumbled mess. Now the bins are stuffed with other items..

I have about 6-8 of the metal crochet hooks from dollar tree. I keep one in my “travel “ bag. I like to crochet at the doctor office or if I take the train to work. I like the hook because if I should lose it then I don’t get upset about it. I love the idea of using the chalk and blackboard stickers. Definitely going to use that idea. Thanks for sharing. Hugs to you and the kitties.

Yarn bobbins are great if you need to head to the store to get some colors to go with what you have, can check the coordination, the weight etc.

I believe that the ergonomic hooks last longer than the solid plastic ones. The one plastic one I had snapped in two while I was crocheting with it.

If you combine the letter bead and paper clip, you can loop the bead onto the clip then paper clip to the project, like a stitch marker, for the hook size rememberance. Also, i didnt realize one of my favorite metal hooks was from the DT until you held up your green 4.5 from there 😂. I dont even know where i got the hook from! Likely one of my friends left it at my house or something.

I'm curious... Did you notice if your local Dollar Tree had the Crafters Square Amigurumi kits? There appear to be six in the series of them. I bought them all, but I've only made the unicorn so far. I would be curious to see you review these.
