even though i crochet for 4 years this video was amazing to watch

Just jumping in here to say that cotton yarn doesn't have to be expensive. Drops and Hobbii have 50g skeins of cotton yarn, depending on the weight and whether f.e. Hobbii has sales or not, for as little as 1.50 Euro. I especially love Hobbii's rainbow cotton range + their cotton friends range! :)

[@Rosalea.]

If you NEED to be budget-friendly, you can find yarn at some second-hand shops! The only down is it's sometimes knotty, cut in random places, and doesn't have a label. But it's more sustainable and more budget-friendly!

ive been crocheting since april but this video was still so helpful!

[@omazingpaige]

I'm so glad!

[@taylormayhew9870]

I have been crocheting for 2 years and this video helped me so much!!! I learned some new tips and things I wish I knew when I started. I love your videos and your content! I watch every single one!!! Thanks for the tips ❤️

[@oldmomma56]

I learned crochet in high school. I am now applying for social security. I have returned to crochet off and on over the years and as far as I remember no one ever explained to me why you needed stitch markers, compression gloves, a tension ring or any of those. Had thought of the gloves because of my arthritis, thought of the ring because I had a stroke and started from scratch as therapy and part of my rehab ( anything involving numbers can be a challenge and my memory is like a sieve!) so crochet is a perfect tool for recovery for me! I ordered the ring just last week and the addition of the non-catchy gloves, the new hooks (with silicone grips) and stitch markers (the number thing) I feel I am now on track! You gave great advice on your video and I am ready to expand my horizons! Now I will be making plushies and fun stuff for grandkids, market bags and purses for friends, and pretty shawls for myself and afghans for babies and everyone to wrap up in during the cooler months! Very good advice today! I wish I could have heard all this 40 years ago! Maybe I did but forgot after the heart surgery and stroke!! You are a personable young lady and I wish you much success!

[@KimiPetri]

Thank you so much for this Paige. I haven’t crochet since I was a teen and I’m trying to get back into it so it’s like starting over completely. Thank you for the tips, warnings, and education on crocheting. 😊

[@moweelimeyoutube]

I use stitch markers to tell which is top, bottom or left/right sometimes. Wonderful, wonderful video! Lighting and set up was great. Thank you.

[@SampyreALT]

23:04 I just started crocheting this week and already have broken an acrylic hook (snapped right in half D:) and bent the plastic darning needle I had haha. I was trying so hard not to but they bend so easily with the tension @-@ (I ordered some non-acrylic tools now though so things are looking up, I've been working on a market bag as my first "big" project!) Love your videos!

[@Miausan14]

17:50 Bamboo knitting needles are a must, the crochet hooks with the flat grip is also a must for long projects without cramping! I also have 3 generations of knitters who have also owned shops... so i have worked with the most expensive wool and alpaca yarns. The main thing with yarn is to make sure that whatever you buy is not 100% acrylic, Whether it is cotton or bamboo blend for summer or alpaca or wool blend for winter. The less plastic, the less sweaty, and definitely better to buy in store! Support small yarn businesses! They have a lot of knowledge, teach classes, fix your problems, and will find you the perfect yarn, even if they have to special order a color for you!!!

I'm not a beginner but I love your content and personality so I just had to watch

I’ve been crocheting for over a year and I started with the red heart super saver dupe they sold at the Walmart near my house. I’m finally able to afford some nicer types, I’m so excited ❤️ thank you for this video!

Even though I've been crocheting for a little it was helpful to finally understand yarn.

[@rubymohr442]

I'm sending this to my friend who has been asking me to teach her how to crochet. Thanks so much for this video!!!

[@nelmennes3025]

i use metal hooks but with silicone grippies on them, and i feel like its also pretty good, although it might be smarter to change to different hooks, im just to lazy to change

[@whotf.is_miles]

You should do A video with back to school crochet ideas!!!

[@giraffewhiskers2045]

I started about almost 2 weeks ago so like I think this will help me

[@rita-zt7fh]

I am originally from Russian, and there we use completely different system with yarn: usually yarn length per weight matters (like 100g/50m), so i am usually totally lost in pattern, when it uses different scale)

[@c.j.1865]

Ahhh you're coming up on 100k! So excited for you!!

[@mimike8]

I crochet since 5 years, and i watched this video and i still learned new things from it😂

[@Ushygushy103]

I am an acrylic girly. I’m poor and it’s cheap. People say it feels like shit which I don’t understand, it’s soft and easy to work with

[@Jeni_hehe]

I agree 💯

[@KitrinaKanaris]

Tension rings didn’t help with my tension, but if I don’t love the feel of a certain yarn the ring helps? I’m weird, but it’s something to consider for people with sensory quirks.

[@Mrpresident5066]

I have 8 fingering/ superfine yarn right now and I want to make a piece of clothing with it. Any idea on what I can make and maybe a pattern?

[@LURNI-ip1hn]

I got a 9mm hook thinking that was average. Then I saw some videos and I was like oh, thats why its like that. But i didnt have the budget to be buying yarn and hooks so I just sticked to it for some months. I bought a 4.5 some days ago and its completely diferent now

[@lexsanders212]

What kind of camera are you using?

[@Luvxwinnie]

[@anneborrill24]

my yarn is 100% cotton yarn from hobbii's range rainbow and i live in the uk. my creations are amigurumi.

[@xxcloudy.beanxx8809]

Help, my yarn doesnt have the weight/size. Only the size hooks/needles to use

[@DayDream_Ow]

Does the airport/TSA give you any trouble with your crochet stuff? I want to bring some with me but I'm afraid it's going to be taken away 😅

[@tuula4646]

No idea in which parts of the world Sostrenen Grene exists (I'd guess mostly in Europe), but I really like their yarn (which is 100% cotton) and I'd say it's affordable enough. It definitely is great for Switzerland anyway. :)

[@Patd.loverr]

I buy really good yarn from a really good shop, but only the knitting hook size is on the yarn. It’s really frustrating and I usually just guess what to use. And i dont want to switch brand. Can someone help me?

[@Mrpresident5066]

I have about eight 40g fingering weight yarn and don't know what to do with it. Can anyone tell me what I could possibly make with it and maybe a tutorial or pattern I can follow.

[@fancydeer]

Animal fibers have to be blocked, they typically have to be hand washed, and they come from animals, unless I can physically visit the farm that the animals were raised on I don't know how these animals were treated or raised. Personally I'm on the fence about animal fibers. Plant fibers are great for summer and they're washable. Acrylic is cheaper and it is washable and great for winter.

I love your videos they are so helpful. Just wanted to mention carbon footprint and all that stuff that makes you feel like a shitty individual was all created to make you feel bad and take blame when it's the big corporations and oil companies who need to feel bad. At an individual level, you can only do so much. Not to say one person can't really mess up the earth but in the idea of buying yarn and feeling bad bc you can't afford cotton, and now you're not sustainable. It's not that serious, you can only do so much.

[@omazingpaige]

EXACTLY !! YOU GET IT

[@abbyanderson6796]

wooden hooks are a lot lighter than the metal ones so not only is there not anything to hold on to but there's no weight to it lol. mine always go flying

[@anja4561]

As far as being sustainable, natural yarn disintegrates, but acrylic lasts forever...so, there you go.
