Is Temu Yarn Worth It?? | The Only Temu Yarn Haul You Need To See

Hi everyone! Welcome to this week’s video where I will be going over a TON of yarn I ordered from Temu.
If you don’t know already, Temu is an online site where you can order a wide variety of items at extremely low prices directly from Chinese factories and warehouses. Temu has been quite the buzz lately, on whether it is trustworthy or worth your time, so I decided to take that plunge and test out Temu’s yarn selection, so you didn’t have to!
I did spend my own money on this order. I was not affiliated in any way, nor was it endorsed or sponsored. I did my absolute best to provide you guys with a clear cut, and honest review.
That being said, I do now have a coupon code you guys are more than welcome to use should you decide you want to buy your own yarn from Temu!
You can get a $100 coupon bundle, and 50% off discount using this code: afi98972
And you can download the app here: temu.to/k/usQ1HLTh0m17fnD
I would also like to point out some of the screen shots of the yarn will say a different price than the one I paid for it, which will be written below the screen shot. This is because I took the screenshots a day after I placed my order, and Temu is constantly running sales which changes the price of the items often. The price I say that I bought it at in the video, is the price I purchased it at.

For those curious about the yarn label at 1:32 / 21:56, I used Google Translate for the Chinese. Despite the label being upside down, I manage to roughly translate it to "Hand wash, do not bleach with chlorine, spread dry, do not iron, use natural detergent, dry in the shade." (手洗不可氯漂 平摊干燥 不可熨燙中性洗剂 阴干). I've also managed to translate the Korean on the yarn label at 12:31 / 21:56. It roughly translates to 'Milk silk 20%' (우유 실크: 20%) and 'Skin-friendly nylon 50%' (친 피부 나일론: 50%). Just wanted to share the info I found! 👍 P.S. Loved your yarn review! Keep up the good work. 😊

[@reigningcharmz]

wow thank you for sharing!! that's very helpful!☺

[@apple_juice_craft]

You're welcome! @@reigningcharmz 😁

[@erin.roberts]

I keep seeing adverts for their yarn so I'm glad someone has tested it out for me!

[@sofiap3271]

I live in a very expensive country, the first yarn would cost 10$ for 100g so I'm glad they're available online

[@ElainefromPenguinPlaceCrafts]

I had a coworker who kept telling me I needed to get a yarn winder. I said I didn't need one... finally got one about 4 years ago and I LOVE it... if you want to work a yarn double, it is so much easier to pull from center + outside on a cake!

[@reigningcharmz]

Yessss that's my favorite part about it is pulling from the center😂 I get so frustrated if I cant find the center pull in a regular skein because it takes me FOREVER to work a project if I gotta keep unwinding it from the outside hahaha

[@kikitaina]

I bought that exact yarn winder from Temu and it came with all the needles and stitch markers and only paid 4$. It also started to squeak so loud after a month that I had to throw it out. I now have a 10.5oz Stanwood Needlecraft Winder and it was the best decision I ever made! It is expensive but so worth it!

[@missamedulla91]

most of that you ordered is not cotton. looks like 100% acrylic. you can tell because of the sheen on it. when the skein says "imitation cotton" or "Synthetic wool" or something similar, its not cotton or wool; its simply acrylic.

[@reigningcharmz]

yeah, I've noticed that Temu seems to advertise some of the yarn as being made of something it isn't

[@meganrose2172]

I just got so much Temu yarn and actually just used it to make your cow pattern. I won’t buy yarn anywhere else now. I love it! And it came in a week! My premier yarn I bought 3 weeks ago still hasn’t shipped! I love TEMU!

[@teceyS3]

This is an awesome video~ thank you for sharing this info❣️ I've never ordered yarn from temu, but after seeing this, you've inspired me to order yarn, etc., from them~ gorgeous yarn❣️❣️❣️

[@stormylee4123]

Thank you so much for helping me see the yarn quality and size. Thank so much, I have also been meaning to get a winder so thank you for posting this!

[@reigningcharmz]

Aw absolutely! So glad I could help!☺

[@happyhedgewytch4573]

Glad to see a vid on Temu's yarn, I was thinking about ordering some yarn from them and this was really helpful. Great vid!

[@reigningcharmz]

I’m glad I could help! ☺️

[@irmatchamourian1332]

;the "mohair" is not real mohair - its just fluffy acrylic. The velvet one I can bet money is not color-fast. I would be very cautious with the darker colors that you at least pre-wash or pre-soak them to make them colorfast before you make anything with them so you don't ruin anything else in your wash. I actually love team's variegated sock yarn - I got 10 full skeins for 19 cents total! Put stuff in your shopping cart, then leave for a day or two. The AI will lure you back to shop by letting you "spin" to get 90% off and you can get 10 skeins at a time for 19 cents each :)

[@ElsaW10]

Thanks for this video! I needed it to decide what type of yarn was good quality to buy.

[@torijacobson204]

I love the faux fur yarn from Temu!!

[@handmadebylayne]

The pink fluffy yarn... the strings are just tied around it to hold the skein together. :)

[@reigningcharmz]

Oooh I'll definitely have to unwind it then haha

[@tisme7956]

Yes, it's a yarn hank, you will have to wind it up before you use it

[@mariaclaudio3621]

I love Temu. And I love your informative videos.❤

[@reigningcharmz]

Aw thank you!☺

[@oneofusiscrocheting]

I’m so excited!

[@MystLily]

I've bought from Temu a lot of times now and have really enjoyed what I got and haven't had to return anything. I think I've ordered a few velvet yarns to try them out but I will be buying a few more after seeing your haul. I like the yarn winder and might try it if I can get a bargain because here in Australia the nicer thread winders are nearly $100 which is insane because I do not need to pay to much money on something my hands can happily do although the cakes do look nice when they are full

[@reigningcharmz]

I’m glad I could help!

[@charlaleal9728]

Fyi "Milk Cotton" is not 100% cotton. In most cases it is acrylic. Some of those "cotton" yarns u have don't look like cotton (to me anyway)

[@reigningcharmz]

ahhhh I definitely did not know this🤣 well that's a bummer haha

[@namelessgrace6319]

Thanks for this comment! A girl on here always uses milk cotton and I thought it was 100% cotton! Good to know now!

[@Janski06]

Hi just found your channel and im really enjoying watching, your personality shines through along with your fabulous content. Great job 👏🏼 🎉❤

[@reigningcharmz]

Hello! And thank you so much🥰 I’m so glad you’re enjoying the content☺️

[@elydearine]

I don't know if you've already opened the pink giant yarn yet, but I bought the same one and thought the same thing. But when I "opened" it, it turned out to be a twisted skein that they had tied together with sting; one tug, and it came loose, leaving a thread-free yarn :) I think mine had ties like that at four places.

[@reigningcharmz]

Thank you for letting me know!! I haven’t untied it yet, but others said the same thing, so I’m glad it’s not a problem with the yarn haha

[@reneenicole4358]

I have that same yarn winder i personally love it and use it so very much i like to tie my scrap yarn together and make scrap cakes to make scrappy blankets for my boys

[@arts.by.triplemoon]

I bought mohair yarn before. The prices varies around between 7 - 10 dollar. And they come in 50 grams. You can also buy more expensive over here in Germany! Greetings

[@reigningcharmz]

Ooh okay thanks! And Aw awesome! Hello!😊

[@faithlessangel6836]

Your package of 8 of the Mini scans of the mint green yarn when you knit with it it's so soft that is my favorite

[@nolasteffens4889]

Thanks for the review!!

[@reigningcharmz]

Absolutely!

[@SuicideJade]

They got me with one of those coupons. I got 28 skeins of yarn and throw for 20$

[@breakmydreams]

Looks like they have some good yarn choices 👀

[@elise6211]

good mohair can be between $8-20 per skein near me and usually comes in 25 or 50 g, but to check the yardage is important because mohair is naturally lightweight so 25/50g will be more yarn than you might think!

[@sah6._]

The video’s title is true!! I absolutely enjoyed the video ❤❤

[@reigningcharmz]

Aw thank you so much!☺

[@anjaholy7878]

8:41 the same or a similar color wave is on temu under Milk cot skin-frirndly yarn. It´s a white label with a cow on it if you run out

[@lyndasadlier3274]

I really like that green velvet.

[@user-KG71]

Thank you for this review- I’m of the school of “You get what you pay for” I admit that I only buy tote bags from Temu… and Always use a Burner CC❤

[@BaeRheams]

I’ve never used anything that turned out to be better than the Yarn Bee plush yarns. I don’t know if I just get lucky every time I buy my skeins, but it is amazing to work with. Hobby lobby has it 30% off every other week so I’ve never paid over $3.50 to $4.50 depending on the weight. So I feel like I definitely get a great deal. But after seeing this I think I’ll try out the Temu yarn.

[@belindaslomp1253]

I love it 🥰

[@HooksByAudrey]

oh, the velvet red and purple identifies as weight 6, and recommends a 4.5 hook. (I've used it before)

[@SharonWebb-rw3qw]

I had that winder years ago. It work like it was supposed to

[@reigningcharmz]

yeah so far it seems to be holding up quite well!

[@HooksByAudrey]

that red velvet yarn info is on the inside of the wrapper

[@victoriak6269]

I would be interested in seeing a burn test to check and see if these are actually what they say they are. Good review though!

[@reigningcharmz]

Ooooo that's a great idea! I need to try that, because I'm also curious if they are made of what Temu said they were haha

[@DOSBoxMom]

The "Suevelvet Cotton" looks like it might be a rayon/cotton blend. (The English on the labels was definitely by non-native speakers!)

[@robinblack3865]

I buy tshirts at a thrift store for under a dollar, get an xl or larger if possible

[@reigningcharmz]

That's a good idea!

[@pamdiem5170]

I can't wait 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@fefreaak9369]

I think you should definitely get a scale! I feel like most of these are definitely less than 100g

[@reigningcharmz]

haha it's definitely possible honestly. Next time I'll have to do that to be more thorough!

[@PinkPumpkin529]

Hi Karis! Am hoping your 😊weekend's gone well! Came on here today specifically to ask about yarns. Have you ever used & if so, do you like & or recommend Herrshner's yarn? Also, I'm kinda "shy" when it comes to mail order yarn. Not being able to do a hands-on "test" of sorts. Also, I like making baby afghans w/white & variegated & am having a hard time buying those combos in same yarn. Are there any brands in stores that you prefer? Have not used the chunky or velvet yet! Recommendations?? Thank you so much for ANY help Karis! Happy Hookin! Dawn ✌️🤘

[@reigningcharmz]

Hello!! I have not tried that brand that I know of. Mainly, for most of my plushies, I use velvet yarn by baby bee (from hobby lobby) and sweet snuggles (from Michael’s). I use a lot of yarn from hobby lobby and Michael’s as well, but definitely TONS of baby bee lol I’d definitely recommend it for plushies☺️

[@aliciamcnamar8203]

Hi, I wanted to tell you that I have used Herrschners floss. And their die lots are good. I personally wouldn’t have a problem buying yarn from them.

[@Sneakyfoxeh]

You can use Google translate to translate the characters. Pull up the website, then click camera and aim your cell phone at the Chinese text. It helps.

[@sarastephens5832]

Real mohair is very expensive. The ones I buy are 100g $15/twisted hank and they are a kid mohair and silk blend. I didn’t know you could label something mohair if it isn’t real.

[@reigningcharmz]

That is pricey! I suppose it’s “imitation” mohair on temu, so they should definitely label it as such then!

[@elskempenaers7568]

Love your video's ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@reigningcharmz]

aw thank you!!🥰

[@MissMoodiBlue]

I use the Google Lens app to translate the labels

[@reigningcharmz]

Great idea! I'll have to try that haha thank you!

[@jessiebeilharz1799]

That minty cotton is korean. Tells you "Korean textile company Ltd" their address and phone number. Then in the little chart graph "product number/color signal/earthenware store" whatever that means. Again i think they print that, then in the spaces, either stamp or sticker the infor that changes more.

[@jessiebeilharz1799]

The contents is 30% long fibroids 😅 I'm guessing acrylic since it's made with long synthetic fibers. 20% milk silk fiber, and 50% gentle skin nylon.

[@reigningcharmz]

@@jessiebeilharz1799 Omg thank you so much! Very interesting that the contents aren't exactly cotton though since it's marketed as such on the listing. Thank you for translating that!

[@mandelade]

Mohair usually comes in 25 gram skeins. There doesn’t seem to be any mohair/silk in the skeins though

[@reigningcharmz]

Yeah it’s highly possible that it’s just acrylic meant to look like mohair and marketed incorrectly. I definitely wish I could’ve tried a few different methods to test if they were actually the yarn type they claimed

[@HooksByAudrey]

sue velvet cotton is made from polyester, and cotton, that's what the "close cotton" or whatever was

[@Ur_local_shawol]

cute mini skeins-- korean lettering

[@kelreid7236]

The dark green is called black green

[@joellepangstmargaretps2206]

fairyland yarn is super good though I bought it from vietnam and I love it

[@sarag1158]

That's really cool! she got in an actual name brand yarn then. maybe I'll try some.

[@TheVailTribe]

I lived abroad and these were the exact yarns available to me. they are are very good quality and hold up well. the mohairs ones may not be 100% but its imitation so it all works, i would also suggest ice yarns it's turkish. all the yarn i had was turkish and they were great

[@sydbap21]

Just want to key everyone know that Temu steals designs from independent designers

[@jmismis]

Thank you for that, I was told (and it is there) that my knit baby set pictures from my etsy shop are there stolen and sold as their own, that's one reason I will never order anything from there

[@diughbigblac]

I mean it’s similar to a lot of fast fashion places. It won’t stop people from buying from them.

[@princessnadia808]

Mohair usually comes in 50g hanks and is anywhere between $20-$40 depending on the fiber content and dying process…….

[@carlit7903]

Use a little kitchen scale to measure weight! So handy.

[@reigningcharmz]

great idea!

[@DOSBoxMom]

What are the shipping costs like? How do Temu's shipping charges compare to those of other international vendors who ship to the USA? (Such as Hobbii, Hobium, Ice Yarns, or some of the UK online yarn websites)

[@cat-cv8sd]

I enjoyed this video a lot! But for velvet yarn I seen people burn the ends to keep it from shredding and I also see people making like a knot for it to stop shredding! also me personally I wouldn’t trust temu yarn since you don’t know what it’s actually made from

[@reigningcharmz]

yay I'm glad you enjoyed it! and yeah, I've heard of burning the ends! I'm gonna have to try that at some point. I have noticed that some of them aren't made of what they say, or it's marketed by a different name, so I don't think I'm going to make a habit out of shopping there, but what I did receive from this haul I've been fine with!☺

[@LVThN_von_Ach]

Other sellers often sell the same products that are discontinued

[@gangstakatze1613]

Bought the same yarn winder off of amazon. I think thats just what the cheaper winders are like :/

[@Diestarlyt]

If you want to translate, put the page or side in front of camera for Google lens translate. It translates right away! Hope that helps

You can make your own tee shirt yarn

Yes you can! I just don’t have any t-shirts to cut up🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@karlasullivan716]

Please what your credit card used on Temu. Your information could be sold.

[@juliettealexander8537]

I don't speak Chinese, but use "google translate" select "chinese to english" and select the camera. Aim your camera at the characters and it translates on your phone.

[@reigningcharmz]

Oh that’s a good idea, thank you!

[@faithlessangel6836]

I've gotten 3 different brands of yarn from temu and only one I liked

[@sk13507]

let us know how it work out.....heard a lot of negative review regarding their yarn.

[@gingerp4817]

I have been buying alot of stuff from temu from nail art stuff to tee shirts electronics for over a year now and i have gotten lots of credits for stuff not shipping within 24hrs n if it was a day late they give 5$ also they have 30day price protection so they credit ur account if price drops. I totally got bashed on fb for saying i purchased stuff from temu.. so i had to do some bashing back.. but i have nothing bad to say about them ive had some broken things n they just credited me n that was it.. so customer service is always been great.. i honestly dont see why i shouldnt shop from them especially since its so expensive these days..

[@reigningcharmz]

I'm sorry to hear that people did that to you for shopping there! I understand there is a ton of controversy surrounding the platform, but no one should be treated that way regardless. Everyone should be allowed to make their own choice about using the platform, and that's all I tried to do with this video is provide my honest experience with it so they can decide what they'd like to do!

[@jessiebeilharz1799]

Mohair says "color number" and "number" there's no other info on it, I'm guessing they print that and then stamp the info but didn't feel the need.

[@reigningcharmz]

Thank you so much for translating! Looks like they didn't add much to the label haha

[@fosterck13]

Google translate works sometimes

[@quiettornado1970]

I trust temu.

[@acolley2891]

The angora yarn is really pretty! I like the DK acrylicline brand too. They are improving and have really pretty stuff now but DO look at the fiber content closely. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus, our Lord

[@caroldubois2850]

Temu mohair yarn is not real mohair. I don't know how they get away with calling it Mohair. Real mohair is very expensive. I was so disappointed when I received this yarn from Temu, but I should have known since it was so inexpensive.

[@reigningcharmz]

Yeah I learned this later too. They definitely should put that it’s imitation instead of real!

[@gizzmowalliss]

Totally unrelated but that reminds me on when yarn has on it pure wool but then it’s actually 100% acrylic yarn in the description.

This stuff is crap. Doesn’t matter how much it is it’s not worth the $ in my opinion.

[@HaiItsMyFriendsnI]

I’ve already purchased yarn from Temu like 5 times. I’d say it really depends on what listings you are looking for. I look for milk cotton mostly. The listings I found and bought from were all dubs. I love all the yarn I bought from the site. I literally have been buying all colors of yarn in the listings I look at. I don’t mind if there is no information on the yarn either. To each their own.

[@Daziesandconfuzed]

It really really has to do with what sellers you buy from. Look out for the reviews, the descriptions, the weight, size, etc. if you just buy the first thing you see, yeah you’re gonna end up with trash quality. Not all temu items are created equal.
