Probably because most of the cheap versions use slave labor. But your point still stands; many of these trendy yarn brands are marked up beyond what sustainable products should cost.

I think a lot of the attraction of WATG is their aesthetic - it appeals past the yarn itself - the font, the logo, the packaging, the social media. I do feel that is where this brand appeals - but probably not to somebody like me who just doesn't feel that they can justify the price. Some of your swatches were a delight to look at. Thanks for these videos you save us crafters ££!

If you’re in the US or Canada, I definitely suggest looking into knitpicks yarns. Their acrylic yarns are some of the softest I’ve found and their plant fiber yarns are affordable and high quality. They’re also almost always running a sale on something, whether it be certain yarns or tools.

If you live in America then sign up for premier brand emails and you will get notifications of sales. They always have free shipping over a certain amount (which they lower at certain times of the year) They do lots of sales. I don’t pay more than 50 cents an ounce for acrylic Also you can go in on an order with someone too ❤️

Online, check out Ice yarns closeout section - they are based in Turkey and have a lot of yarns that are natural fiber blended with acrylic, which brings the price down, and their closeout section sometimes has killer deals - for example they have their winter colors of their 50/50 wool/acrylic worsted at $1.75 for 100g/150m right now I also recommend hitting up the thrift stores. Check if your area has an art/craft supply exchange or a crafters swap meet (or organize one if there isn't one yet! Everyone meets up to swap their stashes). Overstock stores like Big Lots sometimes have yarn as well.

I liked several of the yarns, and appreciate that this company works to make their yarn more environmentally safe (and yes, this costs money, I get that) but have been an avid knitter for years and I know my yarn. This yarn, like you mentioned on quite a few of them, were very nice yarns, but can also be found at equal quality for a much, much better price, even from high end yarn companies. There was nothing so unique or special about them that I couldn’t easily substitute a less expensive/same quality/same fiber yarn for. For this reason, I wouldn’t purchase their yarns. I tend to make sweaters and socks…the sweaters especially are a big time and money investment for a quality merino, for example, and when I’m buying a sweater quantity of yarn, spending 20 to 25% more becomes a very significant price difference, for essentially the same product. That being said, I wanted to thank you for your great and honest reviews, and all of your videos that I enjoy watching. You may say, “you said you were a knitter, I’m a crochet channel,” and that’s true. I do know how to crochet, but prefer knitting, to each their own. But, I still love to see what can be made, and reviews on yarn. Also, I have never done Tunisian crochet…and you have me sold on it. I’m going to get some hooks and give it a try. I absolutely love how the Tunisian stitches look, as well as the fabric they produce…looking forward to learning something new! Thanks, Toni!

@@kayjeanne8346 Absolutely!!! I do crochet a few things from time to time (no matter what hooks I use, it gives me tendinitis in my forearm) but prefer knitting. It think being a yarn enthusiast is perhaps a better term for watching videos doing a craft you don’t always do! You are so correct in the importance of learning about the fiber construction, how the yarn will work up, last, lay and hang. How to substitute yarns and understand how to do this well. How to know how to pick yarns that will work for different projects, and, like great reviews from Toni, just how good or bad the yarn is. Toni also gives me tons of ideas for how to put colors together. She has such a great sense for color combinations (I have no skills in this area) and she comes up with beautiful combinations that I never would have considered! Thanks, Toni!!

I’m actually excited about this! I don’t get the expensive price of these yarns. I got their tape yarn in a kit to crochet a bag a year or two ago and was really disappointed by the pattern and the yarn. I hated working with this yarn, and the bag ended up super heavy and unusable. I know they’re really popular amongst younger trendy knitters because they make that super bulky yarn, but oh god the price. I could always find great equivalents for much cheaper. They have amazing colors tho, for someone like me who loves bright colored yarn, it’s hard to find good dupes.

This review definitely helped me decide that these prices just don't add up. $12.50 for cotton yarn that has just a little more than Sugarn 'n Cream is absurdly high. That cotton would have to wash my dishes by itself for me to consider making dishcloths or the like out of it! XD

Loved this! Tried many of these yarns; for knitting though. Very interesting to hear how they can act so differently w crochet. WATG def helped energize my knitting journey, but I always bought on sale. Now a few years into knitting and I pass on their fibers because I know I can find something comparable elsewhere for a fraction of the cost. I do have to say that their colorways are some of the best and that’s part of their appeal to me even still.

I have been a knitter for 40+ years… but I learned how to crochet from your tutorials! Thank you so much Toni! Your teaching style is the way that works for me! Your instructions have resulted in straight edges which was the bane of my existence🤦🏻‍♀️I bought a couple of Wool And The Gang kits about 3 years ago and enjoyed it very much. My favorite yarn has to be the cotton Aran weight. I used it for a crochet blanket and a shawl that had an amazing drape. I have a slight problem with buying new yarns online. It’s hard to know the way it feels while working with it. It’s also hard to really know what the textures feel like and the colors look in person. Your review was great because it was really informative. Great for ppl who haven’t worked with it yet. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and your creative ideas! Your the best❤️ I am a self professed yarn snob and addict myself, so I get where you are coming from, lol!

my thing with any kind of single ply yarn is that yes you will have to maintain it to keep it from pilling and getting things like hair stuck in it. that's just how it will always be with that kind of yarn. it's a nice thing to have for photoshoots or to have out as a decor piece when inviting people over to see whatever space you have it in but other than that it's the worst yarn to use for anything you want to actually use for its intended purpose. i have a couple of shawls made from single ply yarn and while they're not as bad as they could be they're still not great. I do make an effort to keep them nice looking by regularly shaving the pills but again after one or two uses they need it again.

I knit socks with their yarn for years. Very interesting unusual pattern emerge (if stitch count is correct). Use wool setting machine laundry. For men socks prefer Schaffenmayr Pairfect because of huge color/pattern selection. Price reflects quality.

Thanks so much for this! I have been wondering about their products as well as the We Are Knitters products too. Both seem to be the same but I have yet to see any of their products in person and none of my friends have tried their yarns to tell me their thoughts. Your review videos are absolutely AWESOME! You always answer questions looming in the back of my mind. Thank you!

Hi Toni! Beautiful yarns but the price tag is so far out of my budget but I enjoy the review! With that said, you give the most satisfying, almost musical reviews of anyone on KZbin. Even if I can’t afford some of the yarns you review, just to listen to your melodic harmony of these yarns is so so satisfying. Thank you so much. Enjoy your day!🦋

I love your yarn snob videos and have tried some of the yarns you've rated highly. I've been curious about Wool and the Gang for a few months so I'm glad you reviewed them. On a side note, Roxanne Richardson has a great video on s vs. z yarn twist and how to work with them. It's mainly a knitting video, but I think the same principles could apply to crochet.

years and years ago during a black friday sale I splurged and bought myself a few skeins from wool and the gang and ever since I've been too nervous to use them because of the price LOL. However, that shiny happy cotton TRULY is the softest cotton yarn I've ever felt and it's incredible.

I love the idea of recycled cashmere & the new 100% non-animal fiber option. My wife is a vegetarian and leaning vegan. So, cottons and bamboos are in my life. Additional options are great!

Hi new viewer here! Fell in love with your personality. Thank you so much for this very honest review. I saw plenty of their ads online and now II'm def second guessing it for the price and the wear and tear especially that crazy sexy wool. rather disappointing.

I've been eyeing this brand for years, but can't bring myself to purchase it due to prices. Thanks for reviewing the Crazy Sexy Wool. That's the one that always pulls me in. Glad to know it won't wear well in the long run. Not what I'm going for, especially at the price. Thanks Toni!

I used to love going to there website but got extremely turned off because they are mainly knitting patterns. The crochet patterns are very limited (usual beanie and nothing very updated). I always wondered about there cotton yarn. Thank you for your HONESTY!!!
