I Found Yarn Cakes at the Dollar Tree - A Dollar Tree Yarn Review

[@amandahopkins1044]

Those are referred to as tucked stitches. It's one of those "things" happens...I asked a group once...I was told tension and yarn causes it. I was told weights can help prevent tucked stitches. I have used this in crochet work and loved it. I tend to go with big twist now. My knitting machine bit the dust and I was devastated. I took it apart and the gears had broken.I have a 48 machine on order from Amazon though and will be more careful with yarn types. I think it happened on thicker worsted weight size 4. On that note. Some size 4 is thinner like Big Twist. It was probably the super saver crap that did it to be honest. It was more or less an unbranded generic toy. The one I have coming is an actual Sentro brand.

Thanks Amanda! I come from the world of crochet and am still learning knitting terms. My machine struggles when I use RHSS. Thinner size 4s and size 3 yarns are kinder to the machine.

[@amandahopkins1044]

@@YarnChecker I learned a lot from my first experience. Now I know to be extra careful with yarn and tension.And learned the hard way about the size of yarn and thickness. You're so right!!!!!

I love it. It makes great baby blankets.

OMG IN DOLLAR TREE!!!??? I HAVE A VARIETY OF YARN IN MINE, AND CHENILE. BUT THAT YARN IS BEAUTIFUL!!

[@nancyshookedoncrochet526]

Great find. They don't have a plus section at any dollar tree in my area

[@sandraimboden6660]

Great price. I paid full price and made summery shawls. Loved it but I crochet very loosely and used a G hook. Gave some as gifts. No complaints. Limited supply at Joann when I returned. Will be looking for it at DT.

I also tried Sweet Roll on my Sentro....didn't work out either....will use it on my loop or crochet....lol

[@EJsDaughter]

I've used it but never purchased it from Dollar Tree. Good tip! I knit with my needles (not my machines) and crochet with it. I love it.

[@YarnChecker]

It's great yarn. I'm glad that I came across it.

[@karimamiranda3418]

I made a dress with that yarn 🧶.

[@teatimecherry4718]

I actually have those colors. Premiere wss selling them from their website in 3 pks several months ago. Even though it was on sale. I paid much more than you did.

[@Crochetloveby_dee]

I buy this yarn @ Walmart and Joanne's. It is pretty beefy and makes a nice beanie or blanket!

[@wendycrossland1241]

I have not had any trouble with yarn on my sentro my hat came out Great

[@knittingnana2939]

Perhaps try hanging weights or clips as soon as you have enough rows . Also, i have an addi as well as the sentro and i will bet that it will run on the addi.

[@vinachetri7969]

My dollar tree has the smaller premier in solid and variegated colors, but haven’t seen this yet. Will definitely pick some up! Thanks! 😊

[@leilonnihamilton8356]

I found them too. I really like working with them. I'm working with the same color yarn. I think it is worth it

[@miriamjenkins3560]

what mine does not have this

[@smbeecrochetcreations4372]

I live in Canada and we don't have any nice yarn at the Dollar Tree😣 Before the pandemic, my husband and I took a trip to Montana and I found lots of nice yarn at the Dollar Tree. I have almost used all of it up now, so I'm kinda sad that I won't be able to buy any more! Darn this stupid pandemic 😷

[@YarnChecker]

I agree. I'm hopeful that things will get better eventually.

[@Maryann-wc9vo]

Nice finding that at Dollar Tree, I’ve bought that yarn at Joanns.

[@mzrizz5933]

WOWWWWWWWWW, never know DT has these! I was looking at them today in Michael's $3.99 on sale.

[@billienuhfer447]

Do you have any opinion on ice yarns for knitting machines??

[@eneal2056]

You get what you pay for. Better to go to a supplier like Knitpicks or Hobbii and get some marvelous yarn on sale for the same price as that ghastly cheap yarn.

[@preciousbeautyj6924]

There’s absolutely nothing wrong w/the yarn bcuz it’s discounted or at a discount store. Some yarns just don’t work well on machines. Look at how beautiful her swatch was. I’ve bought this yarn at the full price n it worked well, also crocheted well from $1tree purchase.

[@latiajones9024]

This is awesome and that's pretty colors I would buy all yarn if I had a dollar tree in my area!!!

[@YarnChecker]

Yes! This is some great yarn.
