Thanks for clarifying the difference!

[@JAannMcD0209]

In the last few years I only use premier. I found them originally at the dollar store and fell in love with the quality and colors. It's the only yarn that holds up with my active fur family. We do a LOT of laundry.

[@Oceangirl_505]

I agree with you completely! I especially like their anti-pilling yarn 💜

[@CodyFromCreativeGrandma]

I like the lion brand more because it has more of a dramatic gradient and it’s thicker but the blanket you made with the premier is amazing 🤩

[@zitatempleton4821]

That ripple blanket is beautiful.

[@premieryarns]

Thank you for this wonderful review for Premier's NEW Anti-Pilling Gradient Yarn Collection. Your Rainbow Blanket is spectacular!!! This collection was so popular that most colors sold out quickly. Premier Yarns hope to have the inventory replenished at the beginning of August and additional inventory coming soon after that to keep in stock. Keep bringing more love and joy into our world through all your wonderful works of art created with yarn! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent for crochet with all of us!!!

[@karenh2890]

I'm inclined toward the Premiere yarn!

[@janetbrown1857]

These comparison videos are very helpful to me because I am housebound and don’t get out to touch these yarns. You have never steered me wrong. Thank you.😇

[@Lisa..4]

I love a pull tab!! This was a great review. The wrap on the ruler was a neat idea. I appreciate your honest review.

[@daniellecordova2255]

Oh my Glenda that blanket is stunning!!! Thanks for the review.

[@amydavis4945]

Pull tabs on cakes is not a big deal to me - I do wish yarn companies would put pull tabs on SKEINS of yarn tho. I really appreciate you doing this comparison, even though I will never ever buy Lion Brand's "Gradient" (to me both are ombre's and not gradients, but whatever) for personal reasons. But even past those "reasons", I would probably lean toward the Premier anyway. I like the more vivid colors and it seems *most* of the Mandala gradients are almost white in the center, where the Premier ones are hued in the colorway it is. I also MUCH prefer anti-piling yarns whenever possible.

[@Desaundrea]

I agree wholeheartedly with you. I can find most center pulls on cakes and rarely have issues on skeins, but it would be easier if all skein had a pull start tab. 💯🧶☺️

[@ShirleyScaff-xq1vm]

I use the wraps per inch method when determining the weight of yarn. Often at our senior centers people will donate yarn without labels. That makes it hard to determine what the weight and what hook would be recommended. This method is pretty good in figuring that out.

[@judyinmichigan3418]

I love your blanket it is so beautiful. You did a wonderful job on it. Thank you for sharing the yarn information. Have a wonderful day.

[@donnaroach73]

Thank you for doing this Glenda! I was wondering about this difference. Much appreciated!

[@darcypalmer7783]

That rainbow blanket is gorgeous! Love the colors.

[@EmilioThumbgusset]

Wraps per inch is very helpful and informative, thank you!

[@monicabaker5456]

The blanket is so pretty! I haven't tried either of those. I will have to check them out. Thanks, Glenda!💜💜

[@momv2pa]

I haven’t worked with the Premier Gradient (yet!), but I have used the Lion Brand Mandala Gradient. I just love this yarn so much-it has such incredible softness. I really like your comparison videos.

[@cindybraddock5319]

I love the premier one

[@terrywallace7882]

Thank you for the info and your child’s blanket is lovely!

[@danamiceli4948]

Thank you for comparing these 2 yarns side-by-side. I have been eying them both. I think I may wait until the Premier restocks. Both look beautiful!

[@cathymickelson2727]

The throw is absolutely beautiful! Both types of yarn work for me. Thanks.

[@judithbrown4229]

Thanks for the informative sharing, it gives us a clearer understanding.

[@JenniferSmith-oi1lf]

Both are beautiful yarns Thank you for the information.

[@karlabackhuus9454]

Love them them! It would just depend on what I was making!! Thanks for showing us the difference.😊

[@roxiblair8861]

Hi Glenda, always love your videos, thanks for sharing. Thank you for showing the difference between the 2 brands of yarn..very helpful. They are both pretty. I don't understand why the different brands do not all use a standard measure of what is a 3, 4, or 5 weight. Kinda annoying 😁

[@twentynineteen4687]

It kind of defeats the purpose, right?

[@alisongomes684]

Oh Glenda I just love that blanket 🩷🩷🩷

[@karenjsp1]

I have a tool from Nancy's Notions, maybe a ailable as used. WPI, wraps per inch, gor knotters used to be used to determine the "weight", fingering to bulky. Yarns with a halo are more difficult, and wraps can vary greatly depending on stretchynes, how tightly the wraps are packed. Hard to determine weight with the variety of ways yarn is now constructed, I think this used to be more straight forward.... 😮

[@laurasmith2223]

I love the comparison between brands. I’d love to see more of these. ❤ Especially a comparison w Premier Puzzle! 😊 Thanks Glenda!

[@lindacibotti2149]

Glenda - I love love love your ripple blanket! Please release your tutorial soon! I definitely want to make this gorgeous rainbow blanket❤️

[@deborahtipton2000]

Thank you for this great yarn comparison as I was confused & your response to my remark was informative. Please when comparing thickness of yarn, you need to compare yardage and not just cake size. Holding up a strand under your hand is helpful. Your strands per inch test was excellent! Thank you again for such an excellent review.

[@CreativeGrandma]

Hello Deborah, I did state the yardage on the label, I should have said them at the same time to compare, sorry about that

[@stephaniegill8392]

Thanks!

[@CreativeGrandma]

Thank You so much for your super thanks, your support of my channel is greatly appreciated.

[@lorileecolewinfrey4095]

I like the difference in the yellows on the lion brand. better. I prefer where it does to the super light. I love your blanket. Thanks for the review.

[@kimberlyperkins2469]

Glad you compared this yarns. Thanks

[@deb2075]

Wow Glenda! I clicked on your affiliate link and they are all sold out except green for the premier gradients! I can only imagine your excellent video on the differences helped them sell out! :) I know I wasnt sure until you gave your expert opinion. I'll check back again next week :) Happy crocheting!

Thanks for the comparison. I have 4 cakes of the Mandala in Black. I'm going dark to light, light to dark, then back again. Just haven't settled on a pattern yet. Thoughts?😊

I was wondering about that! Thanks so much!

[@denisejf]

Thank you so much for showing us about each one side by side. 🤗

[@elaineyakatan2310]

Good morning Glenda. Thank u for the review. I use both brands of yarns. What I do appreciate is that I can go to Joann Fabric or Walmart or Michaels and touch and feel Lionbrand. For the most part, This particular Premier is not. Have a good day.

[@sherriedavis1222]

I just got the premier green tones and it is REALLY soft. Can’t wait to get started on something

[@NavyMommie]

I would give Premier a 9. You cannot get the gradient from their website. It has been out of stock for a while now!! I am so sad! I have used the lion brand gradient and felt it was wonderful; a healthy 4 weight; no splitting and worked up beautifully.

[@esmeraldagreen1992]

Creative Grandma please make a comparison between these two yarns using the same stitches and colorways Making the rainbow blanket with the Premier yarn does really show the gradient like it does for the Lion Brand yarn.

[@karenmessinger9609]

Thank you Glenda especially for us newbies in yarn.

[@donnamessick6329]

Both are beautiful, but I’ve recently fallen in love with Premier yarn. Do you have a pattern for the yellow blanket; it’s beautiful!!

I love lion brand I can’t emphasize that enough. So that was my go too. Unfortunately had an allergic reaction I believe from the nylon. Let me say the color is on point I crocheted a whole cake of purple. They made plenty for the customer which premier did not. This is an actual 4 weight maybe a bit of a bulky 4. I really wish I could work with it.

[@mommamimaashouse]

Your blanket is so pretty. 😍

[@marielucas9186]

I was going order the Premier with your link but all they have is blue. None of the other colors are in stock. I guess I will have to wait 😢😢

[@antoinettelasseigne3216]

I love the premier for lots of reasons, but most of all, it's a better value per yard and it's anti pilling!

[@Azure_Jewel]

I like the premiere, but all colors sold out. Thanks though Grandma- where’s Cody?

so nice - thanks

[@conniehalloran5066]

Thanks Glenda

[@Oceangirl_505]

Can anyone please tell me which stitch Glenda used in the yellow yarn sample? I haven't been able to figure out which stitch of the week this is. When Glenda first showed this sample, she said that she can't recall which stitch it is. I'd truly appreciate your help! MaryAnne

[@kathyc1087]

Looks like corner to corner stitch, C2C.

[@tinag4262]

I wondered the same thing! It looks like a very lovely stitch.

[@CreativeGrandma]

@Oceangirl_505 It is the tulip stitch :)

[@JezareBrooks]

Thank you ❤

[@Desaundrea]

11 wraps puts this yarn as a true 4 weight on the Wraps Per Inch scale. The cut off being 12 wraps. The Lion Brand: Mandala Gradient looks to be fuller than the Premier yarn. That makes it an Aran weight, you know that sweet spot between a 4 weight and a 5? *bigger than a true 4 but smaller than a true 5 bulky*. If using a ruler for the inch, make sure you wrap LOOSELY, almost no tension, but ensure each strand is touching. Having a WPI tool can really help you determine what the size or weight of a yarn TRULY is if the label is saying something you disagree with. I use my WPI tool for foreign yarns like ICe, Hobbi, and Hobium because when it comes to their 4 weight yarns and below, they tend to be WAY off the mark. It is crazy that they are so far off, especially Ice Yarns because they manufacture most of the yarns from Premier and Lion Brand ( that’s why they have identical yarns 😉). This is a great video as I was torn between buying Lion Brand’s Gradient yarn or Premier’s. I love the anti pilling from Premier so my mind is now made up. Thank you Glenda! 💯🧶🧶🥰🙏🏽

[@Innerbeauty328_22]

I love premier

[@kareninman220]

Premier must have gotten a lot of orders after your video as all but one of the colors are sold out!
