Please do not publicly bash Hobby Lobby or Walmart in the comments. Every company has their flaws, this is just a yarn video, not a bash the store for other reasons not concerning yarn video... also, the white being a little different is probably a dye lot issue... I wouldn't of noticed had I not held them together, Hobby Lobby looks white by itself

[@Twinkley1981]

Bag-O-Day Crochet I’m from the UK and would be only too happy to have a chance to shop in both these stores. It’s my yarn dream to try lots of different yarns from their stores..a girl can only dream! 🧶🧶🧶🧶😍😍😍

[@Csncelthis1223]

I think the mainstay would be great for dyeing because the white is a little more crisp. Then you can have all the colors you want!!

[@laurierobertson3504]

My nearest Walmart has those colors plus a light blue.

[@ruthyoung1302]

My Walmart has five colors. Pink,blue,gray,white and black. Haven’t seen a tan yet This yarn in my opinion works up and washes well and dries beautifully

[@neldagilliam7350]

I was in the Walmart yarn department today and saw this yarn but I also saw a thick, bumpy cotton yarn, probably a 6, in Mainstay. It was only 50 yards at $ 3.68 (I think) so it's high. I also compared their acrylic to Super Saver. Mainstay was much softer and cost less.

[@deniseberry8179]

The cashier at Hobby Lobby called me " The yarn girl" ... (I usually go there during my lunch hour) She made my day! hahaha I felt like a celebrity 😂

[@CraftyBones]

I went through 4 skeins of I love this cotton and found knots in every skein where the mill had tok tie on a new spool. When I used 4 skeins ofmMainstay I had no knots at all

[@beckywilhite1797]

I’ve used 10 skeins of I Love This Cotton in Dark Denim for a blanket and found no knots in the first 7 (purchased a couple of months ago). The 3 skeins (purchased in September ) have each had a knot or two per skein. I have not tried MainStays yet.

[@angelmomm6232]

I'm taking this video as a sign. It came out 5 minutes ago as I'm getting ready to go to my Walmart. 😉 Gonna get some yarn!

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Yes!! It's a sign, you'll like that cotton 😊

[@melanieadamski8738]

Did you find it?

[@angelmomm6232]

@@melanieadamski8738 yes I did! They had all those colors and black.

[@dovepeacescarlet1]

I have tried both and like them both if I had to choose it would be hobby lobby but if I can’t get there I would go to Walmart however hobby lobby does deliver online

[@KDebora]

😂😂😂 yes, it’s a sign. Thanks for letting us know about the colors.

[@cyndif4354]

The one from Hobby lobby has a yellow tint to it, more on a warm spectrum. The Walmart one has a bluish tint, more on the cool color spectrum. That's what I noticed. I haven't used either of these, so learned something about them today.

[@teresarn1965]

I had no idea Walmart had 100% cotton... My favorite type to crochet with!!! I have to drive an hour and a half to go to Hobby Lobby. I love the stark white also!! Woo hoo! THANK YOU CRYSTAL!!!

[@debt8632]

Thanks again for that touching video of how you learned to crochet. I loved that video and the way you told it. Probably my favorite of all your videos. Thank you for sharing it with us! You blessed your neighbor as much as she blessed you !! What did you like to crochet before you started your You Tube channel??

[@BAGODAYCROCHET]

Thank you, I crocheted everything

[@PrettyMoon-kb8yi]

I would agree they are made by the same company, jus marketed under different brands. Also, if you check on Walmart website, you might find more colors and could have them shipped to your local Walmart for free shipping or to your home if over $35 for free shipping

[@thebestof80smusicnoble62]

I love the Walmart brand yarn and had been wondering about it. I just bought it two weeks ago to finish a sweater I was working on. It is excellent for making clothes and it has draping ability and it's sooo soft. I was rather surprised and will definitely purchase more for other projects. Thanks for the review.

[@Jammn126]

I didn’t know Wal-Mart had their own brand of cotton...good to know. Thank you 🧶🧶

[@kellysutherland2075]

They most likely are from the same manufacturer. I’ve used both, and do really like them both. Thanks for doing the comparison!!

[@dustykatt1424]

Thank you for this. I love the comparisons. I used to work at a dog treat place and the only difference between the expensive and the no name was the box we put them in.

[@PreciousAngel38]

I found the mainstay cotton in my Walmart about 2 months ago, they are also selling an acrylic that looks like carron simply soft has that same shine to it and oh so soft! Very nice for me because my budget doesn’t allow for a lot of trips to the big craft stores. Thank you for the review Crystal!

[@vikkisoderquist6013]

I checked my local Walmart, they have 7 different colors, brown, black, blue, green, pink, grey, and white. Tfs Crystal.

[@deborahtipton2000]

I really appreciate your honest & experienced review and agree they probably came from same factory. It's another option for yarn source & I thank you.

[@paulette1748]

Thanks for washing the swatch! Knowing how a yarn holds up after washing is important to me!

[@JanLynnT16]

Good to know! I'm currently crocheting a pocket shawl with I Love This Cotton and I do love it. I checked online for Walmart's yarn and there are 7 colors. Black, tan, blue, green, pink, gray and white. They also carry a bulky cotton as well.

[@deborahshepherd1480]

I have used the Mainstay acrylic. I liked it. Now I'm going to have to try the Mainstay cotton. I like your yarn reviews and/or comparisons makes yarn shopping easier. Thank you ever so much

[@barbd9887]

Thank you for this! You are so thorough! I think they are the same.

[@sarinaspitzer7704]

I made a shawl out of the black and white from Wal-Mart. Love it. My Wal-Mart only had Red, White, Black.

[@judetdiaz4564]

Really appreciate these types of videos. They are so helpful!

[@marlap1566]

Thank you for this wonderful comparison!!!

[@gloriayates3977]

Love your yarn comparisons Crystal. Thanks.

[@ashantae01]

Thank you for sharing this comparison. I saw some in Walmart the other day and wondered how it would work up.

[@janicecox34]

I've heard mixed reviews about wal mart yarn. So I really interested in what you had to say. Thank you for your tutorials. I've learned alot from watching them.

[@Viviana-Sandy]

Thank you Crystal it is nice to have options

[@JsMomma7]

Thank you.... I like yarn comparison videos.... especially with ice yarn and a big box stores yarns

[@lesliem4536]

Hi Crystal, thanks for the review. I don't have a hobby lobby close to me and am glad to know this yarn is similar. My Walmart in NH also has black & a light blue.

[@jodismith5095]

Very helpful video for me. I'm getting ready to buy cotton yarn to do some kitchen things. So thank you Crystal. See you later

[@maryvirginiabrooks4896]

Hi Crystal, I used Walmart Mainstay brand to make your Christmas 🎄 skirt. It came out really nice, I used that brand a lot to make items for the homeless project in my area. Thanks for the review, blessings.

[@nathaliepenar7908]

Great review. I haven't been to Walmart in a while but now I know to see what colors they have and try it. TFS

[@suzanneelliott717]

Sometimes my Walmart doesn't have much yarn the section is only half one side of an isle. But I'm excited to see if my Walmart gets it in. My hobby lobby is 45 mins away, so only go when there is a good sale. Again I'm always shopping for a bargain when I buy my yarn. Thanks for the comparison so helpful.

[@Sharmelle586]

I noticed that with the closest Walmart in my area. It's across the highway from a Joann's, so the Walmart's craft section is small and the yarn section is half of a small aisle. The Joann's yarn section is about 4 aisles filled to the brim. I'm crocheting like crazy, and I want to relearn how to knit--probably no more than dishcloths, lol, but I'll give the Walmart cotton a try with it. Hobby Lobby is sixty miles away from me.

[@margewerden6675]

LOVE this video... thank you SO MUCH for helping us see the differences in cotton yarn!!!

[@eayala157]

Yesss...the washing makes or brakes the deal!

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

Yes, especially with cotton because we are using it in our kitchen's & bathroom's it has to be washable & dryable for me too 😊! Anything else I hand wash also 😊💝.

[@ozlemyildirim3734]

You are right Crystal.🌹 Hobbii from Denmark buys yarn "made in Turkey " and puts her name on the label. For example: "Yarnart Flowers" cake yarn ( 254 - the original yarn) and Hobbii "Twister Galaxy " (04),these are the same yarns,weight,lenght and colors. In germany "Yarnart Flowers " costs one cake ball 8.45 euros and " Twister Galaxy one cake ball 20.00 euros.( Hobbii). The yarns are the same but the price is diffrent. That's why I don't buy from Hobbii,because the same yarn are expensiv. Sadly it is always so. Please do more of such comparisons. Thanks for the Video and greetings from germany. 🙋‍♀️

[@ViggyIggy]

Thank you, I didn’t know I could find the Twister yarns for cheaper 💕

[@katibere1966]

They haven’t had this at my Walmart When I’ve gone looking for it...hopefully they will soon!! Love that pink and tan

[@blueheartcrochet1962]

I buy lots of wal-marts mainstay yarn 🧶 and personally feel it’s softer than red heart. Now I’m gonna have to buy the cotton for sure.

[@frogsinthepot4635]

Much softer and easier to work! I've made several while and ponchos during the lockdown

[@apriljasso9731]

I absolutely love Hobby Lobby ILTC SOOOOO much 🥰🥰🥰 great to see a comparable product. Thanks for the video....super informative

[@CindyKinney]

Mine also offers a light blue color and a black. I'm happy to hear this review because I only have a Wal-Mart near me to buy yarn. I do love I Love this Yarn, but if I want it, I have to order it. Thanks, Crystal.

[@ashleyfoster4373]

I love Hobby Lobby but it never fails I need yarn on a Sunday lol So it's great to know I might have the option to go to Walmart and get practically the same thing. Thank you for doing the review!

[@mjustmek2153]

Thank you for doing this comparison. Very helpful for those of us who cannot go to stores and compare for ourselves. So far you have never steered me wrong. Thank you!!! ☮❤☀️

[@lindacornelius3451]

Thank you Chrystal I like my white white to be really bright white so I would get the Walmart line for sure if it’s just a soft and thank you for letting me know

[@karenconshafter4773]

Good job comparing. If I had a Christmas project I would try the Walmart. I love Hobby Lobby and all the colors they have. I need to check for colors.

[@ttrcy777]

Wow! First time I've seen the Mainstay cotton.

[@lucylou2u808]

I love the wash and dry test. That’s a big factor as to whether or not I buy yarn. Thanks for adding this to your testing.

[@tinalynntm]

Great review. Thanks never knew Walmart would carry this. 😎 Cool! I hope they get some more colors! My Walmart has nothing!

[@conniebarber4582]

Thank you so much for comparisons of these yarns. I thank you for doing this kind of comparisons. They look the same . Except for Wall Mart's being brighter white. God bless you kiddo!!!

[@charlottemarti8639]

Thank you crystal for the yarn review. I did make your shell pattern mainstay color tan. I did buy light blue tan white black and mint green. Its definitely soft.

[@fallenangelwi25]

When you had the 4 colors lined up it would truly make a pretty color mixture!!!!!! The teal, white, pink and tan!!!

[@bethtisdalestaton7250]

I thought so too 😊!

[@ericnlisa4Christ]

I liked it even better with the gray they have. Our store also has black

[@leeloocarson4538]

I haven't seen it in my walmart yet & definitely want to get some. Thanks for the review Crystal 😊😊😊😊

[@sharonarrendale2724]

I only found 1 skein of the pink. Of course I bought it! I’m thinking of making facecloths with it. It is so pretty 🥰 Thank you for the review.

[@dawnb8123]

Really good thorough yarn review/comparison, cheers Crystal

[@CrochetTherapy]

Thanks for your review! I really enjoyed the one on one comparison. Love your channel! 💙🧶💙🧶

[@magnoliab7155]

To be fair, Walmart just came out with this yarn: Hobby Lobby has had I Love This Cotton for many years. I love both of these stores and am blessed to have both 2 miles from each other and 8 miles from me!

[@kathryneoakes8280]

First time that I have watched one pf your yarn comparison videos and I must say, well done. I do not have a Hobby Lobby near me but I do have a Walmart. Thank you

[@patsyweiss9092]

Thanks for the information, Crystal. Closest H L is in Effingham and that’s about half hour drive. I’ll be able to pick up from WM with my curbside market order. I didn’t know they had it, and I sure hope Mattoon has it. Fingers crossed.

[@dianarios7847]

Thank you! I don't have hobby lobby near me and I know they don't offer to many colors at Walmart. My Walmart has the same colors you mentioned. I'm making my first crochet vest with the tan color from Walmart.

[@dawnfredlund5810]

I like both stores and will shop in both. Hi Crystal. You had some fans on Christmas @ Crestline with Charlie. You and Creative Grandma were said to be Awesome on a live chat today. There were several who agreed with them including me. Have a great night. A you go girl.

[@crochettimewithdonnaarsena2946]

Hello! Thanks for the review! I bought some of the Mainstay cotton, but haven't tried it yet. They also had black. So mine had the same colors yours has plus the black

[@melindaludwick5428]

Thanks for the review. I recently seen this at my Walmart and was wanting to know how it compares. Love your yarn chats.

[@fernsinger9974]

Thank you for the comparison it helps me a lot when I go to Walmart or Hoppy Lobby

[@lindajeanhouse6443]

Thank you Crystal, great information!

[@shirleyscaff8888]

Thanks Crystal for this review. Very helpful. I agree about the yarn being the same.

[@melindamarshall258]

This is a great comparison thank you. In Canada we don’t have Hobby Lobby so it’s nice to know that we may have something similar to Hobby Lobby. As for the colour it looks like one is a “warm” & one is a “cool” white much like lightbulbs can be. Depends on what your preference is that’s all. 🧶🧶🧶

[@Aldisia]

I love it when you do comparisons. They are very helpful for making substitutions, if needed.

[@motalks1]

I made an over sized sweater with walmart's cotton held together with a strand of lion brand's summer nights and I love it! It's heavy, but very soft and cuddly!

[@Goldenretriever-k8m]

what do you mean held together with a strand, do you mean you crocheted with both simulaneously?

[@motalks1]

@@Goldenretriever-k8m yes, gave the sweater a subtle sparkle. Summer nights is a 1 weight and the cotton is a 4

[@roseabraham9915]

I agree they both the same so like you said if you're closer to any of them get it there thanks Crystal for sharing I enjoy all your videos very much be blessed

[@louwalmsley2674]

Thank you for a very thorough comparison.

[@Sony-xy8hk]

Thank you crystal for the information it definitely help me to decide be safe.

[@kathleenpowers3105]

Hey Crystal, really good video and I believe everything you said about the two yarns. You just saved me a lot of time and money in the store. Thank you very much. See you in the next video.

[@PoraPoraCrochet]

Cotton yarn from Walmart is super soft. I love all the colors 😍

[@stitchingrealms]

I'm so glad you did a comparison! I saw it the other day but didn't have time to really get a look at it. I might have to go back to Walmart now...lol

[@teresemadebyziattia]

Thank you Crystal.

[@charmurry3585]

I haven't tried either one. I'm going to check walmart tomorrow. Thanks Crystal ❤🙏

[@Onesillycat]

I didn't know Walmart sold that. I must check it out. Thanks Crystal!

[@sierrastorm1291]

I'm the same way! I never ever put my crocheted apparel in the washer and dryer. I believe that is why my stuff always looks new and lasts for a very long time.

[@6996katmom]

For Christmas I used Hobby Lobby cotton for making flower trivets for all the ladies at church. They loved them. Our Walmart has almost no yarn so we drive 30 mins to Hobby Lobby in 2 towns over.

[@NanasCrochetIdeas]

Thank you so much, good to know. I do not have a Hobby Lobby by me here on the West coast. Heard so much about their cotton, so I’m excited to know I can get it at Walmart.

[@sandaramoore9660]

Crystal you rock...always keeping us informed!!! On Walmart website comes in. 7 colors...white, black, blue, green, pink, tan and gray

[@lottscrafts2082]

I've wanted to try hobby lobby cotton. Before I didn't know much about yarn and what to make with it. Watching your videos tho !! I've learned so much ! Haven't got to get any yet. Trying not to go out much .

[@lilaboss6894]

Nice review. I was wondering about how close the yarns were to each other ever since I found them in my Wal-mart. My Wal-mart also has a light blue.

[@wendyschmidt4339]

Thank you this comparison was super helpful for me 🙏🏻💕🌹 Stay safe

[@sandrabarker1211]

I've used both yarns and the both are the same to me. Love them both. I believe there is 8 different colors. Just can't remember what they are a present. Im at work and they are at home

[@judylake8464]

I've been very busy making mask mates (ear savers), and it's recommended that you use 100% cotton yarn, so I will try this yarn. Thanks, Crystal.

[@theastewart6721]

Interesting review Crystal. I haven’t seen it at my Walmart yet. I’ll have to check it out the next time I go. Even though I could see a difference in the color, Until you put the mainstay in front of the Hobby Lobby I thought the Mainstay looked a bit grayish. Then I could see it clearer and I agree with you about the color. Both are fine by me but there is a difference. I rarely buy any yarn at Walmart because mine just doesn’t have much but I will definitely look for this. Thanks for a very thorough review!

[@debbylovesyarn5148]

My Walmart has the Mainstays Acrylic. Its soft and cheap. I bought variegated and solids. I will continue to buy these.

[@kayscrochethaven]

They look the same. I haven't tried either one yet. Thank you for sharing!!

[@karenleelayton5103]

Thanks for the review. Very helpful. I have a little bit in my stash. Nice to know I can mix them without worries.

[@shelleytaylor5410]

Good comparison. Thank you! I would never have looked at the WalMart brand. I may check it out now!

[@cindyford785]

I did not know either. I will have to look when I go to Walmart today.

[@dianetaylor1699]

I'm going to have to check my local Walmart stores for that! Thanks for the review 👍

Thank you for this information, it really does help! YOU ARE WONDERFUL! Forgot to answer your question, my Walmart carries this same colors you bought and black.

[@tea-korailuvtea3172]

Great review! I love the cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby but I definitely will give Mainstay cotton yarn a try! Ty so much!

[@MsPinto-yo7rx]

Thank for the review... I don't have a hobby lobby in Toronto (I don't think we do)and I always questioned the quality of the yarn at Walmart. I am happy to hear that Walmart reviewed well. When you are on an ECE budget, anytime I can save some $$$ makes me very happy. 😘

[@booksnyarn]

I was just wondering about the Mainstay cotton. Thanks for sharing with us. 🙂👍🏽

[@ednashaw4914]

Thank you let me know about the yarns love learning never to old 😘

[@Laurajordan93]

My walmart has the same colors as yours. I've bought and used the tan and the grey colors. And I agree with you as I have used both brands and found no difference between them.

[@jenreeves7684]

I love how you go the distance reviewing two different yarns. Thanks.
