This video saved me and my girlfriend from wasting $80 on yarn and has made us into an avid blanket makers. Thank you TL 🙏🏽

[@pamfitzgerald6813]

Honestly, this is one of the all-time best tutorials I've seen. You rock!!

[@chereederry7939]

Seriously the easiest tutorial I have seen explaining how to use this type of yarn! Thank you for keeping production simple and uncluttered.

[@ritafrancis4302]

Thank you for this tutorial. You taught the how-to, changing or adding a skein and binding off and it was extremely easy to follow. If there are any new knitters to this type of yarn, this is THE video to watch!

[@lucifina1106]

Thank you for this video! A few people at work (including my supervisor) started making blankets with these this week and I started helping them - I loved it. I sat at my desk and worked on it when I could. It was soothing, relaxing, and very enjoyable. Therefore, I went and bought 6 skeins of three different colors, and I'm looking forward to getting started. I hadn't seen how it was started or how to bind it off, so this really helped. I loved this video and getting started now. Great video!

[@sohappytosew1082]

Perfect video! I was soooo confused about the whole loopy yarn stuff! Great speed, great camera angle, great comments - love your sense of humor! So glad I found you! Thanks!

[@aly3753]

I was at a craft store the other day and saw this material. I felt like it would be a fun new hobby so I KZbind it and found this. Wonderful video, helped me so much!

[@elizabeththomas6544]

Thanks

[@tawnyh8878]

You are basically crocheting

[@graceharden3133]

I think this is really great for beginners. I have always been intimidated by knitting and crocheting 🧶. I am so wanting to try this now!!!!

[@teresafoppiano6699]

I’m so grateful I watched your video. I almost threw in the towel watching a few others. You are so clear and concise! No unnecessary chit chat. Thank you for sharing.

[@pjwhite1002]

I first came across this new yarn from a blog a couple weeks and couldn't wait to try it. Went to Michael's today and bought a few skeins and started what I hope to be a rug for my bathroom. I had seen a couple of videos on how to use it but forgot how to go to the next row and found this vid. So glad I did, thank you TL! Watching what you're doing makes it much easier for me as I'm more of a "show me" learner than a reading instructions type. Will watch more as I go and become more advanced - hopefully it won't be too long! :-D

[@pattir9591]

What a terrific, easy to follow tutorial! I can't do traditional knitting or crocheting and this is the best I've seen so far. Thank you!

[@vanessamims3723]

I agree! Because of my arthritis, I find it hard to hold any type of needle. This seems easy enough and would be great therapy for my fingers and hands. Can't wait to get started!

[@abbie1285]

Wonderful instructions! I appreciated you going slow so your technique was easy to follow. Thank you.

[@nancyferlita7921]

I have viewed other looped yarn videos and got totally frustrated, until I viewed yours. Your video tutorial was so easy to follow. I have no knowledge of Knitting🧶or Crocheting, so this is perfect for me. I recently received word that I am going to be a great grandmother👵🏻, so my 1st project of course, will be a baby👶🏻blanket. Thank you so much for a great step by step tutorial. I also subscribed immediately.

[@kayteekachurak6118]

Girlfriend!!! Thank you so much for making this AMAZING video!!! My sister asked me for a loop blanket because she knows I crotchet. I had no idea how fun & easy this is. Your techniques are simple, easy to follow, and you explain each detail in a bright spirit. I can’t wait to learn more from you.

[@DistractedGrandma]

Wow, I have to say that I am an avid KZbin watcher for everything. With my adult ADHD, I have trouble with most of the people on here that do videos. Bad lighting, too far away, the wrong choice of colors, which make it difficult to see what they are doing. Your lighting is perfect, the color choices are awesome and I love your soothing voice. Most of all I appreciate the fact that you didn't clutter it up with music, or talk about your life history. I have saved your video into my Pinterest and on my Facebook page so I don't lose it. My 24-year-old grandson is being transferred from Camp Pendleton to Quantico, Virginia for the next 2 years because he is going to be teaching the new FBI agents. I am going to try to make him a rug out of this yarn for him to lay by his bed because it snows real heavy back there. Again, thank you so much for your awesome video it is greatly appreciated. Star

[@schandler7129]

I agree so much! I am the same way, my ADD makes it so hard to follow along with a lot of tutorials on here. I love this video. I hope your project turned out great for your grandson!

[@gibbyswife9218]

I'm a beginner in Yarn Crafting and I LOVE this! I just happened to buy both of the brands you mentioned in your tutorial. 3 skeins of each brand. I am so excited to get started. I have looked at a couple of tutorials on the new looped yarn, and I have to say YOURS is the best and easiest to follow!! Thank you so much!

[@MRSVLS40]

[@MJ-fy4yj]

I agree!! I subscribed within 20 seconds of watching this video.

[@hammerandnail7726]

Thank you for your honest words on the yarns. " Keeping it real". I appreciate your honesty.

[@missmrocks]

I just started my yarn journey a couple of weeks ago and made my second blanket with the Bernat Alize. I wanted a larger blanket so i purchased 10 skiens. Its so soft and comfy. It only took a couple of days. ❤

[@sierrakennedy9989]

Am I the only person that personally wouldn't care if it matched my home decor and still make it just because I like the colors 😂

[@mikaelafox6106]

You’re not alone. I just picked up three skeins of Bernat big blanket just because I liked the colors. Also Michael’s had a buy two get one free sale.

I have been watching videos for a week now...... until finding you!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!! Your tutorial is PERFECT!!!!!!!

[@megancopeland6830]

GREAT tutorial!!! could see and copy everything you did as I watched, which is so important! In too many videos, the person’s hand blocks clear view of instructions! Thank you so much for such a helpful guide in getting started!! Now I’m confident enough to begin gifts!!❤

[@lisalisabowbisa]

YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT TEACHER!!! I'm SOOO happy that I somehow found your channel! (Thank you for letting it be here!) 😉😁 You have no idea how much your tips and tricks, (and how you explain and teach them), Are seriously going to bless my life! 🎉 ❤ 😊 THANK YOU!

[@iheartdbell6029]

This video was great. I've been trying to knit this yarn with needles and was doing it wrong the whole time and catching the flux while doing. Your tutorial is what I needed.Thank you!

[@lisalevi1324]

Outstanding job! I love your cadence and way of explaining. Clear and concise. I also love how you explained the color swatches and indicates what you did and did not like. ☺️ Honesty is appreciated!

[@mindygray806]

I have had the Bernat alize blanket-EZ for years and just didn't have the time to make a blanket. Now, I have pulled it out and I"m so excited to find your super simple video!!!! Thank you for making this so easy for myself to understand what to do. I think I"ll be hooked in no time and can't wait to check out your other videos to see what else you will make me want to creative! Thank you again for a great video.

[@lovemymuzic1]

Same here, now my grandson will have a fun blankie, and I want to make one for a few family members and have fun. Very excited to get in there 🥰

[@dawncannella3981]

Perfect video! I was so confused on how to try my hand at this loopy yarn stuff! I really would like to thank you for taking the time to straighten the loops which enabled me to see how to join and follow along with ease, many other tutorial are hard to follow as they do not take the time to straighten their work and they leave it all twisted, which made it hard for me to tell what loop went where. Your speed was perfect as was keeping your project in view of camera. Thank you so much for taking your time to show your work. I'm so glad I found your site. Hope to see more of your work. Thanks!

[@willow7233]

Thank you so much for the detailed instructions! Most of the time the demonstrators go too fast and I have to keep going back and watching the instructions at least twice more. You add little details and hints that help immensely! Please keep up the great videos!

[@Winterseve86]

I have some of this loopy yarn my kid begged me for. A year later I'm going to give it a go. So thankful I found your channel. Loving your clear, fun videos.

[@michellepatrick8785]

This was so easy to understand I am about to make my blanket in a minute. I saw these in a bin and thought I would watch a video and try but it was completely confusing and I was about to return it. Then I came across this!!!! THANKS!!!

[@lovematters7122]

You are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing your work!

[@RoseOriginals]

I've been unable to knit because of arthritis in my hands. I just discovered this yard and am so happy! Thank you for the tutorial and I can't wait to get started on another knitting project! 🥰

[@junemoore8750]

Thank you. I have the yarn and I had missed the class at Joanne’s due to a medical emergency so I am glad I found you. Great instruction. Looking forward to seeing your other videos!

[@jenniferrodd3541]

I am blind and a friend tried to teach me how to crochet. I could do the first chain but couldn't figure out how to go back the other direction. For Christmas 2022 my mom gave me this loop yarn. I thought you did it with a chain stitch like crocheting but I was wrong. My sister showed me this video and showed me the correct way to make a blanket. It is very easy even for a blind person like me who likes doing crafts. I finished my first scan of yarn with about 20 loops left and I need 65 for another row. I saw how you continued with new yarn but I'm not sure if I can continue with what I have for my next row and then add on to finish the row. This video is the best tutorial video my sister found for using this yarn.

[@patriciaweaver7735]

I love this yarn it is great for those who have arthritis and have trouble gripping the regular needles. And blankets get done much faster.

[@sbw-fe2hq]

This is the best instructions for using this yarn. Thank you, you made it so easy to follow

[@MzLila-dm3bc]

Just brought my material and got the hang of it easily by watching your tutorial. Thanks.

[@ndxr1309]

What a wonderful public service. I had no idea that any person would spend time doing this research and share the knowledge. Thank you for doing this 💜.

[@missytaylor2035]

Thank you for this. You are the first person I've seen to show a good step by step tutorial of this yarn. ❤

[@friedpicklechips]

Thank you so much! I just bought the yarn today and had watched a video that was sooo confusing - I’m so glad I found yours! Clear, concise, and you know what you’re doing! Now I want to get started!

[@dpor7683]

I'm trying this for the first time and am using a stainless steel straw to help me keep it neat and aligned - also helps when stretching to make sure I dont drop any stitches - its great fun :D I love it!!

[@kaym804]

Never used this before, saw it in Spotlight (in Australia) and thought it would be horrible to use. My granddaughter wants to learn how to do crochet and I thought this would be perfect for her to learn. Due to covid like everyone else we haven’t been able to visit them but we keep in touch via FaceTime. I tried to teach her crochet on line, it just didn’t work! I am going to buy some of this for her to try. Love your channel and watching you, I really get the impression you love what you do!

[@Hannah-fz7ll]

I just went to Michaels and saw this there and if you are interested it was $3 because of half off so I just wanted to let anyone know if you want some!☺️ I don't know if it will be at your Michaels but I hope you can find the deal!

[@tw.k.d.a1127]

Hannah's DIYS Yes they do and i seen them in the grab bag section and alot of them come in the bag for $4

[@tannerricker2496]

I got it for 10 bucks at Walmart😕

[@Round2_Fight1]

I found some at Michaels to and at mine the deal was for two dollars

[@wandacuti9487]

Thanks for the tutorial video. I'm a beginner myself. I'm watching tutorials to learn how before I even begin. Your video is one of the easiest to follow. Thanks again. GOD BLESS.

[@gailrusso373]

Your demonstration makes this clear and easy. I've watched several others and found them confusing. Thanks for making this so easy to follow!

[@depcat4629]

Thank You for describing the first row or two as "fiddley" - I like to teach beginners and if they hear the word "hard" or "difficult" they'll run for the hills! Love all of Your videos, Thank You 🧶✨💖

[@mina-yu4hn]

i saw this on pbs a young boy was doing it was nervous went real quick. never saw this type of knitting love it . thanks blessings your way good tutorial

[@KimMiller]

OMG these are sooo cool! I was looking for baby blanket tutorials for my first grandchild and this popped up - I could totally do this on the coffee table while watching television at night and pop out a gorgeous baby blanket in no time!

[@anitawinham6972]

Omg! I love you!!! I have had a little trouble with the written directions on binding off and finishing projects, but seeing your video has helped tremendously! Thank you so much! Now to finish that travel-size neck roll pillow...

[@ksanchez9308]

So GREAT. Love your video tutorial. You explsin it so well and without too much extraneous chatter. I wiil def subscribe! THIS is how I can step my son into knitying and crocheting. He has alway had problems managing his fingers and making loops and keeping them even and not too tight...just too much frustration for him. But THIS way, he can get the concept and be able to see what the yarn is doing, so then he can step into finger knitting withOUT premade loops, and then to using needles if he chooses. Best way to learn ONE skill step at a time. This will enable him to keep his ADHD hands busy and his body content while listening to a lesson at church!

[@jackiesmith1325]

Thanks so much for the tutorial! Yours was the best for beginners and I looked at quite a few. Very easy for me and I had never done one before. I completed a 40 loop blanket for my daughter and she loves it in three days. Hope to make one for my granddaughter very soon! 🏆😍❤️💯

[@claudiameier666]

Thankyou. I wad starting my project using the binding instead of looping thru . I was try to read the instructions. Much better to watch it done properly!

[@dianneunterbrink3744]

I bought this a few months ago but didn't know what to do with it. Thank you, great tutorial.

[@aimeerp2008]

I really enjoyed your instruction and gave me a good understanding of what the fuss us all about with loop yarns. Not personally for me because holy tedious handwork, batman. But i love learning new techniques and I'll definitely be following your channel for more tutorials! ❤️🧶🧵🧶♥️

[@lisawoods9391]

I've been a knitter for a lot of years, but THIS~! This is the easiest way to knit! OMG! Now I can 't wait to do it this way! I hate to knit, but this actually looks fun! lol

You are amazing!! You did a fantastic job explaining how to make something beautiful and have inspired me to get started ASAP! Thanks for the great video!

A lot easier than crocheting. I am making a baby blanket for a great niece with the pastel multi. Can’t wait to be finished with this one and start one for myself.

[@karley931]

Ooh I plan on making one for my cousin she's having a baby!!! 😁 I'm so excited 😍😃

[@annepauwels1605]

Thanks for your video, I had been skeptical about trying the loop yarn,but that is so much easier than knitting.

[@firedawgysgirl5216]

I love this. I have always wanted to knit but for the life of me I cannot. This method is perfect....btw, I love listening to you. You have a great easy to listen to voice. Thanks for the great tut....

[@courtp2085]

I like the feel because it is so warm and fuzzy. It is so soft.

[@julies5515]

Now this I think i might be able to do. I too get intimidated by knitting and crocheting but really want to make something. Now I will be watching for this yarn on sale. Plus I love all the pretty yarn colors available so it would be cool to make something.

[@yelenagoretaya2357]

Thank you so much for such an excellent video , so easy to understand how to do it ❣👍 and you have a beautiful hands 💞💖

[@jkfeatherranch]

I love this stuff! I have never knitted and I found this stuff last week and now I'm addicted. I have made a scarf and started two blankets and a skirt! So much fun!

[@LoiNan]

Thank you for this tutorial. It’s very helpful to know in advance that I don’t want to try this right now, no matter how tempting the feel of the yarn is. For now, I’ll stick to Tunisian Crochet.

[@gr8hnd10]

I don’t knit but saw Blanket EZ on Amazon and wanted to see a tutorial. I went through 3 before finding yours; don’t know why they made it so complicated. Ty for a really easy-to-understand video without any distracting music.

[@howaraud]

This video sold me. Very good! I was looking at this yarn and wondering what to do with it, now I'm going to get some and start a project! I typically crochet, but an not an expert. This looks easy and also looks really nice when done. Good way to make a cozy soft blanket!

[@cherylmardon8292]

Oh my stars, I am going to buy this yarn now.. How fun you made this to watch! And quick and easy. Thank you

Easy peasy indeed! Just made a bright green scarf and it looks lovely on me! If I could add a picture, I would! ❤Kate
