Yarn Snob Reviews Fall Yarns from HOBBII | [ONLINE YARN SHOPPING *ISN'T* SCARY!]

[@Hai_Lello]

Can’t waaaaaiiiiit!! I have such a small yarn budget, I can’t afford to buy a bunch and find out for myself, so I LIVE for your reviews! I appreciate you so much.

[@Tastenkrueppel]

It‘s kinda nice that Hobbii nearly constantly has yarns on sale. I always wait for the yarn(s) i want/need to be on sale and then i grab‘em. Metallico is a pretty good example being on sale with 50% off quite regularly.

[@rashaunakovacich1979]

[@tracyvision]

Oh my, that cotton silk looks *amazing*. Just added it to my hobbii favorites list!

[@Wwhdduendjdhhfmwosdn]

My friend gifted me a a skein and it’s lovely! I kept having to stop my project to feel how soft it was :)

[@SharonsUniverse]

I would love to try it for a hair cap. Wondering If the silk is enough for a night cap. Satin or silk hair caps are said to be better to sleep with.

[@tracyvision]

@@SharonsUniverse I was very surprised the first time I bought silk yarn, it has quite a bit of texture to it, it’s not smooth in the way silk fabric is. My hair is very long and I sleep with a silk bonnet every night, it’s great. Amazon has several, my favorite is the Yanibest mulberry silk lined sleep cap.

[@emschlef]

Milky Way is so pretty, I'd love to make a blanket out of it.

[@Vmurph]

Me too! Or a big fluffy sweater. 😊

[@Simplyiss]

You would need 15-17 skeins, it would cost £238 for 17 balls, £224 for 16 and £210 for 15! Hope this helped!

[@steviemyers6965]

I would love to see a tour of your new craft room!!! ❤

[@nancybarricklo2079]

Your reviews are so robust; you cover everything. Thanks SO much. Long time subscriber -- hoping others join the club!

[@MaryAnnSchetz]

😊

[@maryb6872]

Thank you for trying out yarns that I would never think to buy for myself. :) And thank you for giving me a new color combination to try: light aqua, pink and taupe. I loved the look of the Pearly Haze.

[@colors4vana293]

I absolutely adore your yarn snob reviews. I've been following you since before i even learned to crochet. Please keep up the amazing work!

[@gregoryvozar6236]

Based on your review, I’m in for Cotton Silk! Love silk in any form, and this combination is so intriguing! Thanks for another great review… and wow! Great nails!

[@elizabethp2395]

Gotta try that Cotton Silk. And Toni you be lookin’ GORGEOUS in this video! Had to be said. :) Love from Oregon!

[@liliansnapdragon9836]

Long time watcher of the yarn reviews I wasn't sure if the reviews would be slightly less impartial due to the recent (AMAZING) partnership with hobbi (happy place looks epic) but i was so heckin pleased to see that the reviewing is still unbaised, balanced, and awesome as always! thank you for doing these reviews

[@TLYarnCrafts]

You know it! I'll always keep it consistent for ya :-)

[@Nao_Craft]

I always love your Yarn Snob reviews! Thanks for another great video ❤

[@CathyBaxter]

I loved the cotton silk. If I didn't have so much yarn..... I will keep it on my wish list 😊

[@MsPopcorn4]

I remember when I was a little girl and my Aunt taught me how to crochet or knit I forgot how I just pulled up knitting for beginners and the first two instructors made me feel like I was in a dark room lol😂. Your video came up and I listened in and I love it I get lost in you talking and teaching. Thank you so much Auntie Toni for catching my attention ❣️

[@ASquareGranny]

That is GORGEOUS (the pearly haze), but oooof 💰

[@valeriehowden471]

The cotton silk blend caught my eye. Have yet to purchase any yarns from Hobbii so this will have to go into the cart with Happy Place.

[@netteloveszebras]

You convinced me to subscribe. And I agree, your personality IS effervescent! I'm not even fully watching the videos currently, I just have you on auto play listening to you talk while I focus on my project 😂 you are so pleasant to listen to.

[@VultureSkins]

Is the yarn snob playlist going to be updated?

[@christielamb2894]

Toni, I really appreciate your wonderful yarn reviews. You always cover all the bases and answer any questions that come to my mind. 💜✌️🧶

[@kaybee_en]

Yup, I too am up for the Friends Cotton Silk. I'm always amazed at how nice Hobbii's yarns are and prefer them over the major US company yarns in many cases. Thanks for this review looking forward to your next one.

[@estrkik]

I’d love for you to do a video where you talk more about how you alter patterns to fit you. You went into it some for the top down raglan sweater but I would be interested to get some more detail. Love your videos! ❤

[@ericad3850]

I live for Yarn Snob reviews! You are so great!

[@lucillebyron3814]

Just LOVE your new hairdo!!! So pretty! I really enjoy your videos. I really just wanted to say Thank you for sharing your talents and knowledge. God Bless.

[@rstof4626]

Love the detail you provide with these yarn reviews. They have really helped in choosing yarns for my projects. Especially appreciate your suggested projects for each one. Look foward to getting some of the cotton silk. Keep doing what you’re doing. ❤

[@sarilamickle9308]

Found you today, and subscribed after the first video. Great videos, good length and content density! Thank you for capturing my attention!

[@krissytee7]

Your skin, eyebrows and hair look amazing!!!

[@SharonsUniverse]

I loooves the bunny chunky yarn. ❤ it screams amigurumi!!! 😊 in the past I used Nylon yarn for my amigurumi as it was more durable than wool. But lately I discovered the chunky yarn. Haven't tried it but watching you work with it I am excited to order some! The subtle shine might do some justice to my creations. 😊 Thank you for sharing!

[@camofojo]

Not only did I subscribe after 1 video, I run to your channel for every question. Thank you for being so amazing and helpful🥰.

[@Familyrecipeswithjack]

I’d like a video of your top 10 favorite patterns whether they are your patterns or other designers or both!

[@nancywilson2884]

Love your yarn review videos! I want to learn more about those swirl yarns like Sheepjes Twirl. Also hand dyed yarns like Hedgehog Fibers, it’s hard to picture what type of project looks nice with them other than a shawl. But I love the look of them wrapped up in the hank, it’s hard to even put it into a cake! 😂

[@GinnySmith700]

Im already a subscriber. Thanks for the reviews.

[@camilabelle]

OMG Toni...that cotton silk yarn is already in my basket. I think I'll add some more Happy Place colors to my order. 😊

[@rhondaweaver4486]

I love Hobbi metallica. Makes beautiful scarves and hats.

[@Windxchild]

Yay, finally a Yarn Snob review of something that I can also buy here in Europe! I’ve been wanting to try Hobbii ❤

[@jenniferkeeney305]

I would like if you could somehow do video tutorials that could be purchased that would be like taking a class with you. As a newbie to crochet, I love your turorial videos, but I would like longer videos where you completed the project, such as a cardigan. If you already have such videos that can be purchased, please let me know! I do so enjoy your passion for your craft!

[@nancyc7639]

Good afternoon All from central Fl!

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

Thanks for the review, I just wish I could afford more,

[@joyskeete4736]

Hi tonia love them all keep doing what you llove best ❤

[@jewelse1975]

Oooh so much fun to see new yarns! I can’t buy them but I love to see them 😂

[@claramsw]

The Pearly Haze!! Oh man!! 😫

[@daliyaful]

Thanks girllllll. Helped out so much!!! I’m start my own page

[@rlygirl468]

Love your yarn snob videos!!! So glad you made another one, Toni! I am excited to try Hobbii's Cotton Silk. That looks amazing. The Paulina paper type yarn you used though made me cringe just watching you try to stitch with it! Yikes!

[@tjtay02]

Very interested in the cotton silk yarn, I definitely prefer plant fibres overall but I'm like you when it comes to acrylic, I just don't like that plasticy feel

[@andrealouis-visser4973]

Love your thorough review and learning about new yarns! Thank you!

[@laurachelaru6057]

I made a crochet sweater and a knitted scarf with pearly haze, a couple of months back and I loved it! The stitches did look really poofy at first, but after blocking, the fabric has a wonderful drape and the pearly sheen is to die for!

[@kelseyoakes803]

You're the only channel I watch religiously, love the yarn review videos 🖤 would love to meet you one day x

[@debkuppusamy7912]

Thanks so much for this type video- you are always spot on and it’s been so helpful

[@agnesadyana7344]

Thank you for your review. And I love that cotton silk, looks beautiful, must try it.😊

[@jenknotsed8]

I am just learning Tunisian Crochet. I would love to see some new types of stitches. Maybe a swatch of 5 stitches? Love your videos. I'm watching as many as I have time for.

[@Danielle-zq7kb]

You are sooooo effervescent! 💜❤️

[@marlousponhower6634]

Learned tunisian from you, have done a few of your projects and ALWAYS turn to TL Yarn crafts for how-to's/reviews. Now my question is how in the world have I NOT subscribed to you yet!!! *gasp* my bad!!

[@cayleen-marie]

I would love a go to yarns video. What yarns do you reach for over and over? How do they hold up over time?

[@theMermaidRhonda]

I bought some of their Universe cakes and they're fantastic! I made a beaded shawl and every time I wear it people ask where I got it. I'm also impressed with how fast their shipping is. That pearl yarn looks amazing!

[@lindawilliams7652]

👍🏿Toni I appreciate your honest reviews . I am thinking about making a poncho and can't wait to try Happy Place .

[@juliekirstinelaier665]

I would LOVE to see you make a new temperature blanket out of Happy Place for 2024!!!😍❤️ its gonna be my first one, and i’m so excited!!🥹

[@salamanda11]

I love your yarn snob reviews so much!! How do you choose what stitch/technique to use for each yarn you review? 🧡

[@shyanha]

I couldn't find a review for the Rainbow Bamboo. That is, hands down, my favorite from Hobbii using a 3.50 mm hook. Their Cotton Merino is working up nicely with a 3.50 mm hook. 3.00 or 3.25 mm would have been better, but I had to bump up to hit gauge for the project I'm working on. I know the trend these days is chunky and that plush yarn, but I can't get on that band wagon. I can't stand bulky yarns, and even worsted is a compromise. Friends 8/8 Cotton is a no for me - way too splitty. Their thinner cotton yarns, though, are great. I understand you're adverse to shiny, but they have a lovely mercerized cotton. ☺I have 8 balls of Happy Place on their way to me right now!

[@KnitdoctorFi]

I made my friend a huge shawl in rainbow bamboo and fell totally in love! The drape, the shine, the feel - amazing

[@Piglady1983]

Thank you for your thorough yarn reviews. I’ve bought several yarns from Hobbii & am always interested to see how new items work up.

[@ZuzuCharleston]

Wondering if you have ever considered reviewing Cascade yarns? I have been working with their dk superwash 220 and the heather colors are AMAZING! Also, I would just love to see you do a video on how to calculate stitch multiples for patterns when you want to adjust a size. Many designers have beautiful patterns I would love to play with but I always struggle with figuring the stitch multiples when they are not provided! A very frustrating element of my crochet journey. Many thanks for all the wonderful work you share and I do love your effervescence!

[@kaysieculbertson6921]

If you've already done this and I've missed it, I'm sorry! But I would love to see a ruthless yarn snob review video of a roundup of worsted weight acrylics available from different brands right now!! 😍😂😅

[@susanmarie5657]

I just bought MORE Happy Place. I'm sure these are great, but Happy Place is amazing

[@arlindajones-abekasis5665]

Thanks Toni! I’m excited to try several of the yarns that you presented but I need to work with some of the WIPs that I already have and get to one of my projects with your Happy Place yarn. I’ve been busy lately so I haven’t crocheted in a couple weeks 😭. Thanks for your motivation Toni!

[@bellabean8009]

Toni you should definitely hit up your local joanns sometime! Theres a few new yarns I've noticed I would love to see a yarn snob's opinion on, like Bernat Plush, Basic Stitch Anti-Microbial, and the new Landscapes variant. I think theres also a new version of Forever Fleece

[@wendijackson8844]

Pearly Haze is a more expensive dupe of Ice Yarn's Picasso.

[@LorohamaIlustrisimo]

wow.. can't wait....

[@miabecerra2611]

really gonna force me to hit purchase on all those friends cotton silk balls in my basket rn on hobbii!!

[@johnralph3704]

I have that exact water bottle but in black.

[@lisastone345]

shimmer yarn is good for Hats

[@donnastiles2167]

That cotton/silk blend may be a good alternative to Happy Place for those with wool allergies. It would make a great Summer Tank!

[@aksez2u]

Paper yarn sounds so weird, but I have a sunhat I bought years ago that says it is made from paper, and I have packed it and folded it and worn it, and it really holds up! Even though the yarn was a bit tough to work with, it might make a super unique project.

[@af2313]

I’ve made a great handbag out of raffia paper, it was unpleasant to use, but the finished product is great

[@hannahschumacher7034]

I'd love for you to try/collaborate with Arcane Fibre Works....the color ways of their hand dyed yarns are TO DIE FOR!!!! The master dyer is an artist

[@mamajama9987]

Subscribed! you’re right, I do watch and didn’t even realize I wasn’t subscribed

[@SaffronGear]

I would love to work with them one day since it’s my home country just ordered Sultan Shadow red/black before that the 8/8 color packs x2 2 different color ways. I’m excited.

[@svoboda7466]

Hello, I just found your channel and subscribed. Thank you for the very informative reviews. Hobbii is my favorite yarn website and I am going to try the Pearly Haze. It was on Black Friday sale at $5.50 a ball. Wow, that's a deal. 🙂I wouldn't be able to buy enough for a top if it was at regular price.

[@vlee3880]

Hey Toni, I just love your content. YOU are the one who got me stitching to begin with !! As a suggestion (and because i live in Canada and am originally from the east coast) the US dollar is very strong up here and a lot of Canadian makers will ship to the US for free with a minimum purchase (or might welcome publicicity and send you some goodies to review!). I’m currently working with hand dyed yarn from Lichen and Lace - which for a skein of sock yarn (for example) is about $17 USD I think; they custom dye to order, have a ‘sock box’ and mystery boxes, and have bases in sock, super wash, mohair and … something a bit bulkier than sock. Not inexpensive obv, but for hand dyed products also a good price. Some other local (to me) ones to check out: The creative knitter, Full Moon Fibres, and Leo & Roxy. A local maker, Nancy - of knit, sip, happy - also has some great reviews of the yarn she uses (she tries to shop local as much as possible - which I realize isn’t possible for everyone). Anyway, LOVE your work

[@pinzonnatalia4875]

I would like to try the cotton silk, looks gorgeous!

[@TinaMorgan-v9u]

❤ I would love to try that bunny yarn. ❤😊

[@stephanienorwicz1366]

I’m excited to try Hobbii’s friends cotton silk. Living in FL I’m always looking for lighter weight garment worthy yarn. This looks like a good one and I absolutely love the first one with the sheen - a bit expensive but I MUST try it. 😂

[@SuicuneCutie]

You look so pretty in this video!

[@judyclem65]

JUDY. It's weird that this is new. I bought some over a year ago when it was going to be discontinued & as it's my name sake. I told everyone that it was named after me 😊

[@sharbear1968]

I’m dying to order some Hobbii yarn that silk blend looks amazing.

[@hasmelnick815]

I think I’d get one skein each of the jute and the paper yarns to use for gift wrapping g! Pearly Haze and the Friends cotton/silk will surely end up in my cart soon. Just need to decide on patterns and choose colors

[@montaje1]

I support your water intake journey! I try so many times

[@empain_]

Milky Way beanie? Heck yes!

[@donnawoepke8861]

I really love Hobbii yarn but I do wait until I can buy it for less. I have a stash of Pearly Haze in the muted yellow color. Still looking for a pattern.

[@Tastenkrueppel]

Try something like a Star Stitch, Jasmine Stitch or something else incorporating some dense longish loops. Especially with darker colors, the fluffy wool outlines the stitches like a contour, which gives the project an almost cartoonish look. This got me totally hooked on Metallico, a similar yarn and possibly a great companion to Pearly Haze.

[@PhaethonCrafts]

I need that pearly haze...

[@audreysmith2557]

What are the metal Tunisian hooks that you use? I really like Hobbii yarns, but have taken a break from buying yarns while I finish projects. Thanks for reviewing some interesting yarns.

[@megankean1370]

Pearl Haze looks GORGEOUS, but ouch that price tag. Hopefully it will go on sale one day!

[@Lolly912]

Toni, your reviews are so descriptive and eloquent. That’s important when I am ordering a yarn from a website. I trust your opinion and insight and your rich descriptions are like poetry. I also appreciate you suggest appropriate projects for each yarn you are reviewing.

[@sdtayw]

Ms. Yarn Snob, love the honest yarn reviews. I was taught to crochet as a child & since retired, I am getting back into it. Reviews help to build a yarn stash. Would love a video on how to select projects for different yarns.

[@conk449]

Whoa! I am not a newbie. I'm already subscribed.

[@cynthiataylor3761]

I love all of your reviews!!! Could you design a sweater for a girl of 9 years?

[@Crochet.craftsandcreativeideas]

If I could I would subscribe again…and then again. I love your videos!!!

[@ShawniaAndTheDogs]

K+C just came out with a line pretty much the same

[@holdermeddk]

Well, I live in Hobbii-land and have a yarn shop nearby. I shop a lot there, online too (I'm lazy!).

[@niania7022]

It is to me. I never get what I think it’s going to be. I’ve ordered so much and wasted so much money because it’s never enough or the color I expected.

[@KindaBuffKindaFluff]

I loveeee pearly haze! Out of all the metallic yarns I have tried, it’s definitely the best. I would suggest waiting for a sale or getting a sweater quantity for that discount though because the price tag is a little oof 😭

[@litgirlablaze3432]

She said “by the end of it, I was too through” 😂 😅

[@n.5576]

Hi Toni!! I love your yarn reviews so much, I was hoping you could review Bernat's new Casa yarn next time! It looks really fun and interesting, and I would love to know your opinion on it!

[@xlena60]

Very nice review!❤

[@livc1981]

That cotton silk looks sooo nice 😍
