Swatching and Reviewing New Joann Yarns

[@danawalker9417]

I think the Big Twist lollipop twistie would make a nice little Easter basket in the color you're showing.

[@bethparden2222]

Thank you for demoing these yarns! I’ve seen and wanted the Vortex on other channels but you are the first to work it up. I love it, but they are already out of the colors I wanted to order. 😢

[@fionastube2011]

I think the Twistie would make a good bag - very secure and tightly woven.

[@ceciliawilds6973]

The dense yarn colors would look good for Easter baskets

[@terryvoight8514]

Hi Jen. Thanks for the yarn review! Love the vortex!❤

[@LauraS_1194]

LOVE the vortex!❤

[@jennycampbell1333]

The Jellybean yarn🧶 looks pretty in all the colours 🙂

[@debbieward-crochet]

Thank you. It helps so much to see these reviews. 😊 Jellybean! So pretty.

[@ceciliawilds6973]

You do swatches so awesome . Thanks .

[@BrendaSmith-il3ts]

The rope like yarn would make cute baskets. Great tip for the color swatch storage 😊❤

[@jayneholcomb4076]

Lollipop would make cute baskets

[@pamlindsey9695]

Good morning!! Thanks for showing these new yarns! It is so funny that when you said lollipop I immediately had the Lollipop Guild pop in my head and then you were singing it! 😂 I want to get the jellybean and make my granddaughter a cardigan! She's 9 and loved another I made her. Well I'm back to work cleaning office buildings. I enjoy listening while I work! Did you just whistle? 😂😂😂

[@teresajparker7227]

That yarn would make a really cute crocheted Easter basket.

[@hjones9984]

This video is perfect for me right now (although I'm getting a little fomo looking at this yarn :D ) I'm currently snuggled in some blankets with a kitty curled up at my feet, finishing a sweater for my mom using Hobbii's Fantasy jumbo yarn (which you introduced me to), and a yummy drink next to me. So cozy and peaceful! That Vortex yarn reminds me of the Caron Tea Cakes, and I love it!

[@bettyloumallet7081]

Star stitch for the star of the show! Jelly Bean!

[@vickythoeni3818]

Love the colors. Our Joanns and Hobby Lobby are only about 5 miles apart. I think our Joanns is 1 of the stores closing. Thanks for sharing with all of us. 🎉😊😊😊😊😊

[@vondastrauser4428]

Thanks Jennifer for the swatches and reviews. Appreciate it. 😊

[@carolsnyder7778]

I believe my fav is FLOURISH!! I like these kind of videos!❤

[@Mwpissocra]

What about making a basket or tote bag from the ropey feeling yarn?

[@judyinmichigan3418]

The vortex is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

[@RobinSigler403]

I am enjoying your new yarn swatches! I am crocheting while watching you, I am working on a market bag with 6mm polyester macrame cord with a 7mm hook! It is not soft, but I enjoy making these market bags for my friends.❤🧶

[@denisejf]

I'm so happy that you decided to work up all the yarns, thank you 🤗 I'm not sure what I would make with any of them 🤔 I'm going to check out the Vortex Flourish and Jellybean. Thank you again for making swatches. Wishing you a beautiful blessed day 🙏🏻💖

[@delladearest2511]

GM Jen ☕️☕️, I would pick the vortex and I’m also drawn to the lollipop as I like twisted yarns and I like making hexagon cardigans and your mulberry shawl . Hope you find some fun cottons soon. Another storm is coming our way soon.

[@kmmish01]

I want to try vortex and jelly bean.....you have enabled me!! Thanks Jennifer!!!

[@kathyd7506]

Thank you! I'm finishing up a baby blanket as I watch you. I did order some Vortex but I"m excited to try the Menagerie because it reminds me of a thinner Big Twist Party, which I loved, and still have enough for probably 2 baby blankets if I add a little white in there.

[@carolbotha2385]

Got Menagerie ❤️❤️❤️nice and soft

[@dedeschultz9220]

😂😂😂 I have never heard anyone say “we are gonna have a yarn baby” that made me lol! Thanks for making my day Jenn ❤

[@alicefredrickson4574]

Thank you Jen 💜

[@sonyahouk1503]

Thank you for sharing jelly bean my favorite

[@ambisherman6125]

I bought the jelly bean, but I am really liking the Vortex. It reminds me of the Ferris wheel yarn. The Lollipop I would try making place mats or a rug? Thanks for the swatch review 😊

[@erinzhou4986]

Thank you so much for this video! We really need more of these because most of us shop online now. I agree with your assessments of the yarn. Now I know which to buy and which to skip. Again, thank you !

[@vincent82746]

Thanks Jen. I love your mindfulness while you’re expressing your thoughts whilst crotching out loud. Poetry.❤

[@YarnAddict62]

I just bought a bunch of big twist vortex from JoAnns for $2.99 each regular $6.99. Thanks Jen for showing it.

[@dianesass9901]

Thanks for doing the work for us! 😂

[@getawaycrochet]

I love your swatching videos :)

[@amiehurt606]

As soon as I seen the video, I placed an order. With these vibrant pretty colors, I am thinking making something for Easter!

[@Loni-fiberartsfanatics]

Love that jelly bean!! All the colors

[@ChristineWilloughby]

Beautiful new yarns. Thanks for the reviews. Jelly bean and vortex are my favorite.

[@faeryvixenetc]

LOVE the Superman. I would totally watch you swatch every last yarn in your collection. I also understand the 'grabby hands' feeling when you see new yarn come out. I have been sitting on my hands for WEEKS telling myself I need to pare down my collection before I buy more of ANYTHING!

[@Do.alittle.knitting.w.crochet]

Morning Jen thank you for these swatches I like your job, your an inspiration to me and brave for making crochet your job. I love these swatches and I really like how u determine what crochet hook to use for different yarns depending on how it fills in the hook im going to use that bit of info. Have a great day 🤗

[@janetb23]

Good Morning, Jen!!!💖☀️💖☀️💖 Lion Brand Ferris Wheel also looks like the Jelly Bean yarn. 😉 P.S. I LOVE color shifting yarn!!!! 🥰

[@margaretthomas4812]

Hi,Jen love the colour's on your yarn loved the purple one ❤

[@debbyhulsey7564]

Thanks for showing us all those beautiful yarns the vortex is beautiful ❤

[@terrywallace7882]

Thank you for showing all the new yarns…so very helpful!

[@karenb6791notakaren]

Thanks for the tip about the yarn possibly being too bulky for the hook.👍 I like to know early before I get started on a project! I ordered yarn yesterday after your unbagging. Not sure what I'm going to make, yet. But the colors really spoke to me on some of those styles! As always, thanks for your in-depth review and I love seeing it worked up in real time. Thx, Jen!

[@juliedelasho7445]

Thanks Jen. I really appreciate getting an honest opinion on yarn before I buy it.

[@oldmomma56]

I am hoping the Jellybeans isn’t bad!!! I want that purple version something fierce!!

[@Nanapwc]

Vortex, the “flourish color” and Jellybean

[@shirleyspring4905]

Thank you for this review. All beautiful but for the price I’d pick the Vortex cake. Hat & scarf sets would be so nice.

[@manfasmakes-sam]

Hi Jen 😊 I agree that your favourites are my favourites 🎉 beautiful yarns 😍 no clue what I would make but they would look stunning on my shelf lol 😂 ❤💖🦩🌈

[@lindalieser4537]

The lollypop twistie would make a very cool storage bins. I'm heading for Js tomorrow!

[@kaye-q1k]

Thanks for the yarn review. It is very helpful for me since most of my yarn is ordered on line.

[@georgiclifton6670]

Good suggestion ( good Jen thing) about yarn and hook size. I never heard that before

[@suebigger5097]

Good Morning Jen🤗 I loved watching you use all the new super priced yarn 🧶 I really liked the Jelly Bean yarn. I really enjoy watching you swatch up the new yarn🤗 Have a great day, see you tomorrow 🥰

[@Loni-fiberartsfanatics]

Hobbi has a yarn called Tea Time that looks like the one roll. The Vortex.

[@JoannThomson-s1f]

HAPPY THURSDAY!❤

[@susanhebert3299]

Thanks Jenn for sharing

[@jerrianngordillo-marty161]

Thank you for working up all those beautiful yarns ❤

[@jayneholcomb4076]

I like the Jellybean 🤩

[@DianEnglish56]

Hi, Thank you for doing a review and swatching of these yarns as well as telling us how they feel and which other brands they compare to. 🧶🫂

[@rikalife]

These look so good! I want them all

[@noraigra4887]

Hiya 👋 ohh the vortex is sooo beautiful 💗 so is the jelly beans 🫘 thank you for sharing this us stay safe and warm love you Nora ❤️❤️ that is so sad for me because I don't live in the USA and I don't think you can buy it online for overseas 😂wish i had a friend who would buy it for me and send it paying of course for the whole shabang !!

[@judypetett888]

Thanks for the swatches. I wish someone would do swatches on their knotting machines too.

[@CinnamonStitches]

I used to swatch knit with the crochet.

[@karenmann1887]

I like the Big Twist Vortex because I like cake yarn's

[@karentaylor83]

Good morning that vortex looks so much like Ferris Wheel. I think that the lollipop would maybe make good baskets. Those look like Easter colors.

[@billiejomurray3959]

Hi! I have all of them coming in mail except the lollipop, thanks for showing them all! I can’t wait to get them! I already have the jelly bean just nor sure what to make with it yet😀

[@traciperdue]

Well, I’m wearable person. Even with the thick yarns so sweaters and cardigans for me. I agree with you on the thicker one that you said feels like cotton. I don’t know. It’s just weird. Thanks for doing the review because I really do value your opinion on how it feels and works with your hands. Hope you’re having a good evening.❤

[@kathleengibbons841]

I like Vortex yarn best I would make a wrap or poncho😊

[@kraftyangels1934]

Superman yarn maybe a sweater but with black too

[@WendyLovesYarn]

I love the Jellybean....I ordered all the colors....can't wait for it to get here...I was so jealous watching you play with yours lol 😊❤

[@Do.alittle.knitting.w.crochet]

I bought 3 different colors of jellybean the black pink and white and the vortex is really pretty, I got 2 different color ways definitely making a hooded cowl and some scarfs and hats

[@bjbaar3]

Great review! You do such a good job!!

[@mariebrotherton2664]

Good Morning Jenn I was thinking of making a small trinket basket with the lollipop twistie I have never made a basket before but I thought I would give it a try

[@susanwilson3796]

I'm curious how the best way would be to untwist the strands of the Lollipop twistie? AND if you decide to go that route I sure hope you share the experience in a video😊 I'm sure you could create a more versatile yarn while maintaining those beautiful colors. Thanks for the very informative post today!

[@carolynbowen3386]

Good morning Jen. I really like the Jelly Bean and the Vortxx. I think a warm blanket for the couch or a shawl/ scarf would be nice

[@kathygudgeon3329]

Vortex is $2.99 online. In store it is $3.49. My local store honored the $2.99 price but then wouldn’t let me use my coupon. Sadly I should have not asked for a price match as I would have saved more with my coupon. 🤦🏼‍♀️ But I do LOVE the vortex yarn!

[@bettylougreen6987]

I’m going to have to take a drive. My local store doesn’t have any of those. But I’m willing to drive for that vortex yarn. Gorgeous. Thanks for the yarn porn. I appreciate your work. (I am still looking for the flower power yarn as well)

[@AllenArt64]

I would use the rope-like yarn maybe for bags or baskets since it doesn't stretch much and it's dense.

[@saracrews9190]

Thank you Jennifer for showing all the beautiful new yarns I haven't had a chance to go to Jo-Ann's and it gives me an opportunity to look at the online and purchase what I want.

[@egoreknits]

I ordered all of them except the Sprinkle Icing.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

Good Morning Jen! I like the Vortex best of all! 🧶

[@barbaramarch6880]

That purple jelly bean!

[@NannaLannaCrochet]

Good morning Jennifer 😊, thanks for sharing. Have a great day ❤

[@annwickham4332]

My favorite is the vortex and I'm thinking a tote bag for the twisty

[@erinzhou4986]

Vortex and lion brand tweed stripes!

[@jo7127]

Thank you 😊 Always so enjoy your reviews. The first yarn would make a beautiful knit hat. Prob my favourites are the Jellybean and the Vortex. The Jellybean would make a stunning wearable, perhaps a sleeveless summer top or something like that. Mostly, enjoy playing with the yarns, thats what it really is all about 💛

[@cathydempsey1630]

I am thinking with the big twist since it is rope like , stiff and cheap it may be good for small market bags ( something that uses chains).

[@cherylford8237]

Good morning Jen! Love the yarn

[@Quiltmama31]

I love the Vortex. I want to get 3 different colorways and stripe it for a big shawl. I hope JoAnns gets things together. Pretty yarn are great but not if they never unpack it.

[@vincent82746]

AND I have almost the same sense of humor , Hilarious😻

[@joanmachado9063]

Good morning 🌞

[@madelynmandina7495]

Would also work for slippers.

[@RandeT73]

The Jelly Bean and Vortex hands down are the ones I want to try. I haven't bought yarn at Hobby Lobby since last Feb. I miss the sales or I can justify the cost. My go to is Joann's Big Twist then Premier. Only time here lately I've even gotten anything at Michael's is because they keep throwing $5 vouchers at me for free. Then they send me a survey with another $5 voucher. But I'd rather go to Joann's.

[@dianecummins4168]

Sang " lolli pop twist "at the same time. 😂😂 That Sprinkled Icing turned out so pretty! Not impressive in the ball but wow worked up. I much prefer the term "yarn baby" over "yarn barf" so thanks for that. I am going to have to get some of the jelly bean. edit to add: Jelly bean is sold out in all the colors . 😟

[@KKemperCheesebrew]

Good Morning sweet Jen 😊Have a wonderful day!

[@maryhummel2886]

Good morning Jen ❤

[@juliesego2160]

I heard that if Joanns doesn’t find somebody to buy them or run them, I don’t know which it is by March something then they’ll be filing bankruptcy again, but I haven’t heard nothing on the news

[@halcrochets]

The lollipop might make a fun bag!

[@carolynbowen3386]

I was thinking the same thing or a small badket

[@denaroper2321]

Hello! I really like the looks of the Vortex. The app said 2 stores near me had it in stock so I ordered from 1 and it was canceled then ordered from the other and it was canceled too, so I ordered for delivery and live in hope that it will be fulfilled! I’d like to make a sweater or cardigan with it. Your reviews and tests are really helpful!thank you!

[@denaroper2321]

I meant to mention what I’m working on! As I watched your video, I’m working on a Granny Goes Random blanket that Mikey has done tutorials for. It’s granny squares so are relaxing to make.

[@ambersexton233]

Thank you so much for both videos about the new yarn. You saved me from getting the lolllipop yarn (its so pretty but like you I realized...what would I use this for?)

[@Crochetgrandmom]

Ordered 10 of the vortex for a sweater🤭🤭🤭
