Flash Review of Hobby Lobby's Yarn Bee Fundamental Cotton Yarn

[@FranniesHair]

Have you used this yarn?

[@charlottebruce6841]

Was looking at it yesterday! I had to get some I LOVE THIS YARN METALLIC (in pink). I think I'll get a cotton wheel, or whatever their cakes are called. It felt softer for what I want it for. Thanks for your review. I love reviews--really helps me in what I buy.

I've not yet used Yarn Bee cotton yarn, but looking forward to my 1st time trying it!!

We do not have Hobby Lobby in Canada as far as I know, so I cannot get this yarn readily, but I still enjoy seeing your take on different items related to our craft. Thanks!

Thank you, Roxi!🧶💕

I'm making a bag right now with Fundamental Cotton - I'm loving it. Out of curiosity, I checked the Hobby Lobby website, and they have 12 colors in this now.

[@FranniesHair]

That's great! I'd love to see the bag!💕

I've not used this exact HL cotton yet. I do love their reg cotton & all the colors those offer.

Hi Frannie. No I have never used this yarn. Thank you for the review

My pleasure, Sonja!🧶💕

[@cynthiawaldorf9353]

thanks bunches for this review. I'm trying to learn more about cotton yarn as a beginner crocheter👍⚘️🌸

[@FranniesHair]

Cotton is great for kitchen projects. It can take heat without melting like synthetic yarns. I'm glad you enjoyed the review!💕🧶

[@bethrobbins4733]

I haven't used this yarn yet. I have looked at it often. Thank you so much for explaining what mercerized cotton is and when to use it.

[@FranniesHair]

My pleasure, Beth!🧶💕

[@lizm2989]

Thanks for the review. I have not used Yarn Bee mercerized cotton. I have used I Love This Cottln for wash clothes and dish clothes and it is soft.

[@FranniesHair]

My pleasure, Liz!💕

[@claremorley9845]

Thanks for the review Frannie. I appreciated your explanation of mercerized cotton and how it differs from regular 100% cotton yarn. 🤗

[@FranniesHair]

My pleasure, Clare!😘💕

[@kathypearson3821]

Thanks for the review, I haven't used that yarn yet.

[@denisehoffmann5006]

I appreciate a tight twist on cotton. Most #4 cotton is prone to splitting . Thanks for the review 💙

[@susanproctor3577]

Thanks Frannie!

[@alisongomes684]

Thank you for the review. My friend lives in Egypt he brought me so beautiful Egypt cotton. It is so soft

[@FranniesHair]

What a nice friend! What are you going to make with it?

[@alisongomes684]

@@FranniesHair I don’t know yet. He come back over the summer. I want some earth tones. I will send you some

Nice review Frannie. Thank you

I haven’t used yarn bee cotton. Thank you for the info.😊❤️

[@mistydawncreates]

I've used it for a plant holder. It's strong, looks great hanging. Agreed, I didn't care if this was soft. I just needed to be able to work with it without hurting my fingers or it being scratchy. It did neither. I've figured out over the last four years that HL only adds colors to yarns they know sell well and then it has taken them time. This is a new yarn for them so they only released a few.

[@FranniesHair]

Interesting! I hope this becomes popular!😘❤️

[@RoamingwithRover]

Not used it yet but will be trying it.

[@katibere1966]

Another great review…thank you!

[@FranniesHair]

My pleasure!🧶💕

[@vegangelist]

The most widely known and widely available #4 mercerized cotton is Lion brand 24/7 cotton. They've got a bunch of lovely colors. But I definitely want to try the HL fundamental cotton to compare it.

[@FranniesHair]

Thank you! I don't know how I missed that one...I will definitely try it!🧶💕

[@vegangelist]

@@FranniesHair it's great for baskets, bags, etc.

[@susanmansell5081]

Hi Frannie, I watched your tutorial on the belt you made using this yarn and the belt looked super, I've not used this particular yarn I have used the very fine mercerized cotton for doily's etc, not sure if Hobby Lobby ship to Australia but I will go and check them out, I love mercerized cotton but it's so expensive here in Australia, thanks for the review and stay safe.

[@FranniesHair]

Thank you, Susan. Do you have a favorite mercerized cotton that is available to you?

[@susanmansell5081]

@@FranniesHair Thanks for replying Frannie you know the saying where there's a will there's way I'm a stubborn person and I don't give in easy so I promise come rain or shine I will make this belt it's too nice to give up on and my DIL will love it too, hope you and your family are all staying well and continue to do so, take care.

Thanks for the review! I’m always curious how HL yarns work up.

[@FranniesHair]

My pleasure, Shannon!🧶💕

[@aprilm3848]

Thank you for this review! I’m making a Market Bag using Peaches & Cream yarn. It splits terribly but is otherwise okay. I’ll try HL yarn based on your review. Can’t wait to see the bag you’re designing!

[@FranniesHair]

I agree...I've tried Peaches and Cream and did not like it..

[@zoilarivera8866]

Great review, thanks for all the information🥰🥰. No, I have never worked with that yarn…I’ll be keeping an eye on Hobby Lobby’s 30% discount…thanks. Love your rating scale. Thanks for your review🙏🏻 P.S. I’ve been working many hours on my top, I had to frog it a couple of times because it’s my first🙃. When I woke up this morning my hand was killing me, is that normal? Any input would be helpful

[@FranniesHair]

What type of hold do you use with your hook? When I first started, I used the pencil grip....but my wrist killed me. I switched to a knife grip, and it is much better. No pain.

[@zoilarivera8866]

@@FranniesHair ……I’m right handed and use the knife position but it’s not my right hand that hurts is my left. My left hand is (ONLY) holding my project🙃. That’s why I don’t understand….my left hand doesn’t do almost any work but it’s killing me. I’ve stopped crocheting for two days and I feel so sad but it’s getting better. It really means a lot to me that you took the time to reply to help me..thanks😊

[@fosterck13]

Do you think it'll not pill ?

[@FranniesHair]

When a cotton is mercerized, the cotton fibers shrink which tightens and smooths the thread making it less prone to pilling. I have not experienced any pilling yet, but I haven't worn the belt that much. I hope this helps.💕🧶
