I love marble madness

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Excellent taste! 😎

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Apologies for the completely off-schedule video, if you have me on IG you might be aware I've been a bit poorly 😞 On that note, bear with me if I'm a bit croaky in this video! There's not much a giant box of yarn can't cure, though...

[@sophiedouglas8264]

I love that The Coat™️ got a mention 😂 Nice yarn haul, love the copper, perfect for Autumn.

It's like, my top thing I associate with Leeds. That and sleeping overnight on the bench in the bus station. Ah, youth.

[@LostMyThread]

Thanks for showing us Leeds! I haven't been around the UK half as much as I'd like to. Really dug the Corn Exchange, and you can't go wrong with a proper Arcade. Loved your yarn colors. You're gonna be a busy lady with that haul!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Already having mild second thoughts about this massive "to crochet" list I have to admit. Erk. I know you're a big city native but honestly, smaller cities are underrated!

[@obsessivecraftydabbler7274]

Great haul, especially that map dress! 😍 Love the feel of the Corn Exchange.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

It's so good in there! Made me so nostalgic for teenage adventures.

[@yarnhobbit8862]

Come down south so we can hit all the tiny craft shops in the Brighton Lanes!

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Sounds like a good plan to me! Now I just need to find a video sponsor to pay the coach fare and give us a yarn budget 🤔

[@yarnhobbit8862]

@@TheGiddyStitcher now there's an idea...

I'm quite new to Sylecraft as I always used to use emu, but after trying stylecraft I much prefer the sylecraft. I also ordered 3 balls of copper and three of parchment to go with it and was so disappointed with the shade of parchment. I saw your review and hadn't thought of the mustard!. Grandsons would really suit it in this coming autumn, so ill be getting some of that. Not wanting to make the same error again,I'm thinking of ordering 1 ball of each of the aran shades to know what shade to order in bulk next time. How did you find the paintbox compared to the Stylecraft? Would you prefer it instead of the stylecraft.Thank you for your yarn haul unboxing it was so lovely to watch .x

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Ooh this video is a blast from the past, thanks for watching! I definitely felt the same way on first seeing the parchment shade in real life, but since this video I've used a few different Paintbox yarns and have to say I definitely prefer the Stylecraft overall. It just seems to hold up better, for me. Paintbox has been fine though, I'd definitely still buy it if they have a colour I can't get in Stylecraft.

You left the house 3 times this month already? That's more than I did in the last three months 😅 joking aside, that dress you bought is pretty cool :O That's such a yarn haul! I've been watching so many lately 😬 and I bought a ton of yarn too 😅 including giant balls of DK in the colors of the rainbow for some projects 🤓 I guess it won't be long now until my bank account breaks up with me.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Yes we've started venturing out although I have to say this was definitely the most...peopley thing we've done so far. Thankfully Thursday nights aren't a popular arcade night 😁 This was definitely a big purchase for me, was quite scary really! But worst case scenario if nobody buys anything I make, that's Christmas presents covered for the next five years.

[@CraftyRin]

Love the hand dyed yarn 😍 If you want some good videos for needle felting try Felts by Philippa, her channel has great tutorials and the projects are adorable.

[@TheGiddyStitcher]

Yes, I've been bingeing her channel all week! It's making me so impatient for supplies to turn up 😆

[@ferhatahmad6505]

Hi i was just watching your video and was looking for the same dusty pink wool but its exspencive by the time you buy and get it posted especially if you are in a budget or you just want to try something out🤔😮😔
