U guys are so blessed to have access to ice yarn I see it on all KZbin crafters....too expensive for me... just for shipping costs R1600+ ...I am in south Africa and yarn shop stock ICE yarn😢

Hello from Ontario Canada! I never order from Ice yarn! I will have to try!😊

[@romystumpy1197]

Using cotton / acrylic blend is my favourite yarn

[@CraftyLurex]

That is a good combo. So soft yet absorbent. What do you like to crochet/knit the most?

[@dianamonarrez8851]

Spending money on yarn is never a waste 🙌 1:12

hahahah amen to that. :D

I make blankets for a Ronald McDonald's house and wondered if you think the Vineyard and/or Twister DK would be suitable and soft for baby/children. I normally only buy what is marked premium acrylic through Ice Yarns and haven't tried the Vineyard or Twister DK.... hope you continue doing videos and would love to see some of your makes. Thank You!

[@CraftyLurex]

oh that's nice. When it comes to Vineyard vs Twister Dk for baby/children items, they would both be suitable but I would go with Vineyard. Even though they are both 100% acrylic and super soft, Vineyard is fuzzier and it feels different compared to the Twister. The best I can describe would be the Twister has a lot more springy thread than Vineyard. It is lot shinier too with much less fuzz/halo. There is also the price to consider. The Vineyard is $0.99 per skein right now compared to $1.25 for Twister. We shouldn't forget the most important, which is the color options. Currently there is no white color for Vineyard and the rest of the color selection is super limited, Twister is better (not great but better compared to Vineyard). I hope it helps. I just ordered a bag of each popular yarns from ice yarns in white so I can work them and show them as comparisons. I will add Vineyard to the comparison list too so you can see how it works up. Thank you for watching and commenting. It helps tremendously for micro channels like mine that are starting out, so a major hug to you from me. Much love!

@@CraftyLurex Do you think the vineyard is too fuzzy for baby blankets? I don't want the babies to be getting fiber in their mouth, eyes, nose, etc... I don't care for shiny yarn so maybe the twister dk isn't the best choice. Always so hard when ordering online. I like my blankets to be cheerful and fun so I wouldn't be doing solid color blankets..I usually alternate the rows with a busy yarn if using a solid. thank you again...always fun to visit about yarn.

[@HicketyPicketySonjaSandell]

Forgot to ask you what is your favorite yarn for baby/children blankets? Thank You

[@CraftyLurex]

It doens't have a super fuzz/haloe, just slightly fuzzier than the Twister. The Twister is such a weird yarn. I haven't held anything like it before. It is not 'shiny' shiny but it has a certain sheen to it. The fuzz on the Vineyard is very similar to the amount of fuzz on the super saver in the US. Not sure geographically where you are but if you have used Super Saver or any other budget yarn type, similar to those. @@HicketyPicketySonjaSandell

I am still trying out a bunch of yarn so far so this might change but I do really like the Big Twist from Joann. It has a certain sheen to it but it works like butter on the hook. If you absolutely detest sheen, currently i am working on a baby blanket for my new born niece and I am using the Baby Batik from ice yarns. I do have a picture of it on instagram at @craftylurex where you can see the colors. The only thing is it is not as soft as I hoped but I think it still works. @@HicketyPicketySonjaSandell

The eyelash with another 3 or 4 weight yarn will make cute amigurumi.

[@CraftyLurex]

Oooh THAT is a fantastic idea.

[@user-lc2qh6pb8b]

Thank you for sharing this! I am like you....I can't stop ordering from Ice lol and always saying i am a Ice-addict 😂 I have been wanting to try the dk twist but was unsure...after your video its definitely going in my next order next week! Have fun with your beautiful yarn!!!

[@CraftyLurex]

Haha very nice. I think you will like it. It has a very interesting feel to it. Let me know what you think once you receive it. Thank you my fellow ice-addict friend.

Hello 👋 my name is JoAnn, I'm a new subscriber.

[@CraftyLurex]

Hi JoAnn and welcome, friend. So happy to have you here!

[@lindalawson2120]

I use eylash for soft toys. King cole have loads of patterns.

[@CraftyLurex]

Ooh that's such a great idea. Awesome.

[@caroledwards7322]

No yarn shop stock ice yarn in south Africa

[@CraftyLurex]

We don't have one here too. I buy it online. The shipping price is high but when I calculate it, it comes to be the cheapest yarn to buy. Single skeins go $6-7 dollars sometimes over $10 depending on what I buy. If I buy it online through ice yarns, it comes to $2-4 at most. But each person's budget is different so I completely understand that the shipping price is high. Especially if you are buying small amounts, ice yarns is not the place to buy yarn.

[@Danceswithfishes]

Hi, how the ice yarns knit? Are they soft, do they split? Ive been looking at their website😊

[@CraftyLurex]

Some of them are. Some are a bit chalky. Also some of them do split and some don't. I bought so many there is a bunch for every possibility. Do you have any particular yarn in mind that I can maybe be of help?

[@Danceswithfishes]

@@CraftyLurex Thank you. Yes, I'm looking at their chenille yarm for making amigurumi, and toys 🙏

[@nimetbelen2432]
