Crystal, your yarn knowledge is next level. I was already a fan of Ice Yarns and knew there were dupes, but now I want to go look more thoroughly! Thanks!

All the ones you picked look exactly the same to me :). It's cool that if a yarn we loved has been discontinued, we can still find either an exact dupe or something really similar at ICE :) I never heard of ICE yarns before I found your channel. Maybe my husband isn't so thankful, but I am!! 😆 Thank you!

When I was a kid and I'd go grocery shopping with my mom the "generic" brands always fascinated me. I remember thinking it's so funny the coffee or peanut butter would be the exact same containers but different labels.... awhile ago I read an article about yarn production in turkey, and how a really high percentage of all yarn is manufactured in the same facility and it reminded me back to when I was a kid. This is so fun! I definitely enjoyed this video I'd love if you made it a series ❤

As someone that has worked in food manufacturing and manufacturing in general since 2006, I can tell you most generic brands are in the same facilities with the same machines and ingredients as the name brands a lot of the time.😅

I haven't stoped thinking about what you said in another video about yarn companies having almost exact the same yarns. I have been hunting a yarn from Hobbii for month's now and they don't seem to be restocking it at the moment and went on a hunt outside of Hobbii. Found a very similar one at Mary Maxim that I ordered and I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be as similar as I need it to be since I am working on a comission for a friend.
