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.

[@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!

[@livc1981]

That cotton silk looks sooo nice 😍

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@CathyBaxter]

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

[@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.

[@ASquareGranny]

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

[@rosemariestofko4626]

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. ❤

[@Nao_Craft]

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

[@steviemyers6965]

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

[@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.

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@ericad3850]

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

[@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 ❣️

[@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! 😂

[@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🥰.

[@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!

[@claramsw]

The Pearly Haze!! Oh man!! 😫

[@elfrog98]

"...and housecoats." she says casually. Me: 😳 (runs off to add another WIP)

[@daliyaful]

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

[@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 :-)

[@rhondaweaver4486]

I love Hobbi metallica. Makes beautiful scarves and hats.

[@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!

[@christielamb2894]

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

[@joyskeete4736]

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

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

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

[@susanmarie5657]

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

[@LorohamaIlustrisimo]

wow.. can't wait....

[@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!! 😍😂😅

[@Danielle-zq7kb]

You are sooooo effervescent! 💜❤️

[@nancybarricklo2079]

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

[@MaryAnnSchetz]

😊

[@wendijackson8844]

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

[@kelseyoakes803]

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

[@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!

[@krissytee7]

Your skin, eyebrows and hair look amazing!!!

[@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!!🥹

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@andrealouis-visser4973]

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

[@SuicuneCutie]

You look so pretty in this video!

[@alaynawatson3312]

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

[@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!

[@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

[@miabecerra2611]

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

[@lindawilliams7652]

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

[@agnesadyana7344]

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

[@debkuppusamy7912]

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

[@ASquareGranny]

I’m FINALLY available for a LIVE sesh!!! So stoked! “See” y’all soon! ☺️🫶🏻🧶

[@johnralph3704]

I have that exact water bottle but in black.

[@salamanda11]

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

[@Saffronhandicraft]

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.

[@PhaethonCrafts]

I need that pearly haze...

[@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!

[@Marxnchill]

lol I subscribed! You deserve it!

[@sharbear1968]

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

[@montaje1]

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

[@megankean1370]

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

[@choicesimsie8691]

I guess I’ll just keep living vicariously through you - in terms of Hobbii yarns - until they decide to expand the countries they ship to 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@rosalynallison-jacobs2266]

Smart decision because the cost of returning is prohibitive!

[@madabbafan]

I do love hobbii yarns but I have promised myself not to buy any more yarn until I have reduced my stash by about 50%. With 2 baby blankets and a scarf or two to make I think I may be buying some soon.

[@lightworker221]

Inspo idea for Paulina: Dan Doh sells patterns that use similar yarn, so shawls might be an option too

[@litgirlablaze3432]

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

[@shawniaandtheDogs]

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

[@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

[@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 😭

[@JasmineLobkov]

nice nice cant wait!

[@VultureSkins]

Is the yarn snob playlist going to be updated?

[@TheOnlySnaps]

If I wasn't already halfway through my Kima Cardi, I would be on that Milky Way so fast! 😂 I'll have to hope it still around next time I'm buying yarn, it would make some really nice squishy gifting hats!

[@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.

[@AeroLuvrr]

Sorry I’m late was at a cookout

[@xlena60]

Very nice review!❤

[@maryatakli9496]

Could you please review - cotton and bamboo Stylecrafts Naturals, Jubilee Yarns Minnesotta or any other cotton and bamboo. Thank you

[@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.

[@cindy-annereed]

Already subscribed months ago

[@Kayraeraeokay_official]

Have you done a review of some of the seriously cheap box store yarns - love this yarn from hobby lobby, the big twist plain Jane cheapy acrylic, mainstays from Walmart etc? I’m curious you take and if you have similar priced better quality alternative suggestions (especially online only offerings for those of us who like to feel first lol)

[@Vmurph]

Wait, what?? You’ve never been called effervescent before?? How is that possible? You’re the very definition of effervescent.😊 PS: wow, those NAILS! ✨

[@lorz6878]

i literally just received my happy place and put myself on a yarn ban 😢

[@tracycaldwell7679]

Where did you find metal tunisian crochet hooks???I love the shiny yarn.

[@brandywoods1227]

Why does it look like you can always find the center pull immediately?

[@locolotus7716]

What does one do with paper yarn? How would you clean it?

[@NancyVillanueva-v4z]

Nancy Villanueva

[@lanipani1626]

In your opinion, is Milky Way similar to Umami? In what ways/or not? I really like the Umami-yarn from Hobbii, but I prefer the colorways of Milky Way!

[@Heeyitsmika]

wanting to live in the US and seeing that yall dont use sports weight yarns are scaring me. lol those are soooo thick

[@RojinDrawsStuff]

I live in the US and use sport weight lol

[@francesperez7930]

Please tick me hau to crochet and. His to do the corner I always mess up my blankets com out un Erving I love all your vetoing your are an angel❤️🌹🙏

[@CinSpain]

The price on the first yarn seems ridiculous, as it's viscose and not silk. The second to last was silk, and half the price!!! Silk is expensive, viscose is not 🤷‍♀️

[@demonajackson2012]

Paper yarn?! NOPE! Hard pass for me 😬

[@waynebennett745]

HOB-BEE?

[@TLYarnCrafts]

HO-BEE

[@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.

[@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

[@nancyc7639]

Good afternoon All from central Fl!

[@elizabethp2395]

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

[@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

[@lisastone345]

shimmer yarn is good for Hats
