Red Heart Granny Square Yarn REVIEW! (Is it worth braving Walmart on a Saturday?)

The question isn't whether you should try this yarn or not...it's whether you should be in such a hurry to get it that you compromise your relationship with your shopping partner. Is it really worth braving Walmart on a weekend?

Holy Cats...it finally hit Amazon! Going fast, but apparently waiting for restock on certain colour patterns (it wasn't listed on Amazon, at least not in Canada, when I started filming). I'll leave an affiliate link - if you decide to go for the yarn via the link, it supports my channel at no extra expense to you. Cheers!

"Yarn snob...high on merino fumes"! Oh I just love your fabulously thought out scripting. I look forward to your unique dose of tongue in cheek cynicism very much. You seem to cut through the fantasies to evoke real memories we can all associate with. Love your work!

[@rebeccacuthbertson1271]

The level of snark in this perfection. I have never crocheted and I tend to avoid Walmart like the plague, but couldn't agree more with this assessment.

[@mscscottage1277]

I like your sarcasm... and always enjoy your podcasts.

[@kjtherrick4031]

Really well thought out and presented review of this yarn, which I had not heard of. Your neon with black afghan is looking AMAZING and so are your granny squares.

[@jeannegreeneyes1319]

Thank you for reviewing this yarn! Always love your videos and appreciate your candor and snark. 😘

I love crocheting. Alas, I live in the deep southern US where the weather is hot, hotter and holy crap, the road is melting. It's simply too hot for my belived crochet and knitted items. You're so lucky to have cold weather! And so much other lovely Canadian stuff.

I think planned pooling is nifty but have doubts about my personal patience level. Yay for tatting! :)

[@mjdc2533]

i like this style of video. Very informative. I have the same feelings about WalMart! It was nice to hear somebody else say it.

[@robintheparttimesewer6798]

I don’t know it sounds annoying. I think I would rather weave in ends. Not that I’m planning to do granny squares anytime soon.

[@TruFlyFox]

LOL. My closest Walmart is 100 miles...one way. I really do live in the middle of nowhere.

[@christenagervais7303]

I think I'll stick to the old, close my eyes and grab a ball of yarn, style of making granny squares. Thanks for the review Maire😊

[@stevezytveld6585]

This is me smiling and nodding while you talk yarn ball talk... genetically, it's chancy enough for me to be dabbling in sewing. My Mum was a high-finisher in the fabric and yarn stash competition. Plus? I'm a pastor's wife (the Husbeast is a Vocational Deacon with the Anglicans) - I refuse to knit and I refuse to volunteer full-time for free (I need a medical/dental plan to prove organizational love). Not much in the way of boundaries, but one must draw them somewhere... That being said, it's nice to know why the yarn balls change colour. Very cool.

Thanks for your humor and honesty. I've given myself the goal/hope of making myself a granny square cardigan for 2024 and not a fan of tying in (who is?). Not sure if this is the way to go as switching hooks is also annoying but you have given me food for thought. Thanks for your hard work!

I did granny squares in the past. Including a dress. It was turquoise and the very open work granny squares were between the boobs and hips, bikini line. The other parts were double crochet to cover the "selling parts" as a friend called it. It looked great with my fishnet stockings and white gogo boots.

Oooo Nine is my favorite Doctor! He was the first one I met and I still like him the best! Was just so excited to hear you mention him, I had to say something.😃🤪

[@Nanenna]

Honestly, it sounds like it'd be better for just a general planned pooling project rather than specifically granny squares (especially when there's so much variety on what can be inside a granny square that's way more interesting).

[@Dean12346]

BTW... The sweater you're wearing, the color is perfect on you! Love it!

[@lornadavis476]

I have never made a granny square in my life! I did see a crochet belt for festivals with pockets made of granny squares, so I may give it a try. I'm leaning towards a stained glass look, though. Right now, I'm learning about mosaic crochet. With skulls and flames and stars, etc. I also need to make a mushroom shaped bag for my daughter in law. I love your aesthetic, btw. It's the closest to mine I can find 😊
