Yarn Snob Reviews Hobbii Yarns for the First Time [I WAS *NOT* EXPECTING THIS!]

[@caseymuirhead3463]

“Chunky ass vest.” 💀 Toni’s reviews are the realest 🙌🏻

[@byDsign]

*For real!* ♥♥♥ _She got me on my computer right dammit now checking out that yarn site!_

[@Surprisebaby]

forreal tho. we dont need to bring everything back and i dislike the 60s-70's vibes a lot of the crochet peps is doin right now

[@mcd5478]

I snorted when she said that! 😂🤣😂

[@aaliyahbrown8950]

she said what she said!! lmao

[@thombardin5234]

I lol‘d

[@jessicablanchard6108]

Not me always thinking it was pronounced “hobby” lol I’ve been wanting to try them out and I’m so curious about that cotton. I may have to place an order.

[@kiar2928]

Hello! Because Hobbii was founded in Denmark, I can confirm that it is indeed pronounced "hobby". The two i's gives more of an eeee sound in Danish, so it sounds the same

[@jessicawraight2077]

@@kiar2928 Thanks for the clarification - I've always wondered! I've always called it 'hobby' (maybe because I'm British) so I'm relieved hahah :)

[@CinSpain]

I was going to say the same a Kia. The ii is just a play on the sound of the y in hobby in Danish. I never realised how many different ways people would pronounce such a short word, I enjoy it 😁

[@thecraftinglunatic1727]

@@kiar2928 Actually the company itself in their videos pronounces their name as “Hoe-bee” not “Hobby”. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6HKZZKKoamco6c in this video you can clearly hear her pronounce it as “Hoe-bee” not the English “hobby”

[@thecraftinglunatic1727]

Jessica as a regular consumer of Hobbii products and in particular their cotton products I can tell you their cotton is absolutely wonderful to work with.

[@sandrab2526]

Thanks for introducing me to this company and your nails are making me so happy.

[@lisag.421]

I came here to say the same thing!! I'm loving the nails.

[@harmonygibbs7904]

Yes! The nails are lovely and as always the reviews are wonderful!

[@bugsaysmeep]

I placed an order with them over Black Friday and I’m super impressed with what I got! The problem is I don’t want to use them because the cakes are so pretty I want to display them 😅🤣

[@karenmyers00]

Working through the color changes is the best part! They have some nice patterns, too

[@FaithRichFidler]

Your reviews are among the only ones I watch, because your taste in yarn is so similar to mine. Be picky, girl, because it helps us make well-informed choices. Thanks~!

[@patriciatramposch5300]

I’ve had very positive experiences ordering from Hobbii. I’ve been very happy with their acrylic yarns and now I’m really tempted to try the yarns you reviewed today!!! Thanks!

[@DesertSister]

I was soooo excited when I saw your review was about Hobbii! I'm a huge fan of their yarns and their company; I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it too. 😊

[@kriskossack7231]

Could you please do a list of your favorite yarn. A list for nonanimal yarn. I'm allergic to wool, so this would be very helpful for me. Thank you for your time!

[@desertdawn540]

I love Hobbii Yarn. I live in the US, and Hobbii shipping is faster than some US companies. I haven't found a Hobbii Yarn that I don't like! Love your reviews! Thanks for this one!

[@kllm9292]

I love guessing how many "hooks" you're going to give a yarn as you go along. I LOVE your reviews and cannot stop watching! Thank you for being so prepared and giving multiple views and "squishes" throughout because, let's be honest, my ultimate test is the "squish" test. Keep being you - you are wonderful!

[@blakesmith8073]

Three Hobbii orders later, I might have a slight problem 😂. I love all of the yarns I have gotten from this site, and the packages have arrived in a timely fashion with little hassle. There aren't very many craft stores close to where I live, so Hobbii has given me the opportunity to try products I likely wouldn't have the chance to experience otherwise. I am overall very happy with my experience, and I have yet another order on its way.

[@mallieal-khafaji1940]

Thanks for the the review! I get so many pop up ads on Facebook for them and have been tempted but was scared away by it being in Denmark and out of a lot of things I was looking at. I will have to go back and give them a try!

[@laurashelton9340]

I LOVE how straightforward & honest your reviews are. Please never change.

[@Piglady1983]

I’ve bought a significant amount of the cotton yarn from Hobbi & it never disappoints & always ships fast. It’s fun to peruse all the colors they have & the sales make it super affordable. ❤

[@hillevialfredsson304]

I’ve ordered from them several times and I’m really happy with my purchases. Just as en FYI they always do different sales and the newsletter can be a bit of a irritating feature in my inbox (several times a week at times). Would absolutely recommend ordering from them :)

[@gaylehenderson603]

I've just started tunisian crochet. I've watched several videos on it and you are by far the greatest teacher. You are well spoken you don't say 'and uhh, and uhh'. You start off slow in the stitches and you keep that way so it's easy for us beginners to stay in step with you. Your review for this yarn and other items you have done is very informative and helps me make decisions. Thank you for spending so much time on teaching me new things. By the how do you make a cake that you mentioned in this video.? I'd like to know it looks perfect.

[@bonniekonjevich7574]

As a yarn user/fan of 58 years, I appreciate your comprehensive reviews as contributions. I your craft, it seems you are at a Masters level.💖👍

[@Sara-zv1jz]

I'm living in Sweden and finding Hobbii was real fun :) they are actually very good in acrylic too! World of yarn which they offer is the best acrylic I have found!

[@BlahLab]

I LOVE their cotton yarn for amigurumi projects, they have so many colors and you get great stitch definition. Their customer service is also really amazing

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

Very thorough review, as I have never shopped at Hobbii although they have some beautiful cakes (which is my yarny pleasure).

[@TLYarnCrafts]

I'm hoping to try the cakes next time. They are so pretty and Hobbii has so many 😍

[@samanthadoe4742]

Those cakes seem so expensive, but for 1000 yards as well as those amazing color gradients, I honestly had to keep myself from buying 3 more once I got my first one.

[@CoolCraftyCreations]

Thanks so much for this very thorough review. I’ve never purchased from them but I’ve seen the beautiful cakes which happens to be my yarny pleasure!

[@morganwatson9280]

Just as I was thinking "I wish you had a review of Cascade Yarns" you invited me to ask you to review it!! It is a Seattle based company and I was so happy to find it within walking distance since COVID has me off the bus (city girl, no car). I'm really new to crochet and am learning so much from your videos :-)

[@alyssa6876]

I'm so glad you're reviewing them. I like their yarn. So many people hate on them because it takes time to ship from overseas, but they don't control the shipping.

[@cindyb5065]

I have been ordering from Hobbii for a while and find their shipping to be very prompt and typically I receive my order within a week. I definitely can’t say that about most of the U.S. based companies I’ve ordered from.

[@ronjakjr5760]

Yesss! I've been waiting for this since Hobbii is local to me and I use it a lot. They often have yarn sales and they ship for free if you use 500DKK or more. I've only used their cotton yarns so far, but your review was very insightful. Thank you so much!

[@SaraMae225]

I've purchased a lot of their twister and cotton king cakes, and I love them. I also like the little piece of candy they add to the orders, too 🤗🤗

[@phoenix06ke]

I discovered Hobbii during the RONA and got hooked on the cotton balls, 8/4, 8/6, 8/8 - 4 and 6 are my fave and Hobbii customer service is excellent. Thanks for reviewing the mohair combos, I have balls of both and I luv, the Tweed Delight, quickly went through a couple of balls for beenies.

[@mfeagan1980]

The “chunky ass vests” killed me. 😂💀

[@CreativelyTracy]

Love your thorough reviews and really appreciate you always work up the yarn during your reviews. Thank you!! I have ordered from Hobbii before and was pleased with what I ordered 😍

[@hannahjaneheathson]

LOVE YOUR REVIEWING STYLE! Honest and passionate and real - new fan right here!

[@najah7781]

Rainbow Cotton is my FAVORITE yarn honestly, I use it for baby clothes, dish/wash cloths etc. It's awesome for crocheting since it doesn't separate into strands. I always use 8/4 or 8/6.

[@dawnrearden2374]

I have made two sweaters with the diabolo and the twister solid. It’s so soft and light, but warm at the same time. It’s not scratchy or itchy which surprised me.

[@madcitywendy]

You are brilliant! I’m so excited to find your channel. I’m am mesmerized by watching you crochet and love your expert reviews.

[@jmn5600]

I’ve been using Hobbii Rainbow Cotton for a couple of years. Haven’t found any other 100% cotton yarn that is softer.

[@missa5232]

I tried Hobbii sport wt cotton for a baby blanket and was pleasantly surprised with the softness. I thought the price was pretty good and it’s also made in India, which I like. Thanks for all your super helpful videos! You do make it hard to decide which beautiful yarn to try next tho. 😂💖

[@mcd5478]

I LOVE your yarn reviews. They are the best in the industry. I’m definitely going to try some of your recommendations!! I love Hobbi. I’ve ordered from them in the past and my yarn came to (central) New York quickly! Prices are fabulous, selection is extensive and they definitely email you when sold out choices are back in stock. 💕💖💕

[@roe2637]

Thank you for this review!!! U really have great details !! ❤

[@tamaraturner4165]

I had been eyeing hobbii yarn for awhile, but was too hesitant to buy it. Thank you Toni for giving such a thorough review.

[@rachaelreichmann8805]

Thanks for doing such detailed reviews! I’ve seen a lot of ads for Hobbii yarn and was very curious. Also thanks for creating and curating amazing content for crocheters.

[@Shaktipaj]

You are my A number ONE goto for yarny goodness product reviews - thank you so much!! When I started crocheting again last year after a 40yr hiatus, I fell in love with those crazy complex shawl patterns in fingering weight. Problem was I couldn't afford Scheepjes Whirls. Hobbii was where I ordered, because the cakes were **almost** as amazing, but on sale for less than half the price. I now get at least one cake every time I order, because their cotton is such a dream. I had only remembered rough cottons, but this was phenomenally comfortable to work with I also had to buy crochet hooks, so I tried the Prym ergo hooks - sort of Hobbii's answer to Furls. They might not be for everyone, but I love them, since I have arthritis issues. Speaking of dreams, I would love to hear what you think of their Dream Color wool. It cemented my new-found love affair with fingering weight. The name ain't joking. It is SERIOUSLY gorgeous in every way. I can also echo everybody else's praise for their customer service and delivery times. I live in CA, and often get my packages from them more quickly than US companies, even with the pandemic futzing things up. Sorry for the novel..... :)

[@JazzyJude]

You tell it like it is girl! I look forward to your reviews to help me select. I’m definitely buying Zafira now. And the Rainbow cotton looks dreamy and would probably be a good choice for my new 2 months old granddaughter’s Spring/Summer dress! Thank you for thus video.

[@anotherperson565]

I just got an order from there and had been knitting up some swatches! You even reviewed some of the yarn that I got! And as always, you brought up some great points :)

[@fkirby3]

I am doing my 2023 Temperature Blanket with the Hobbii Cotton 8/6. I love working with it and love the way the stitches show the definition of the Moss Stitch. I live in Florida, and it will be a nice lightweight blanket.

[@roman-cu1cw]

Thank you! I've been using Hobbii from Germany for a few months cause it was on the top of the google search result when I decided to learn knitting. It's really challenging for a total beginner like me to have to buy all the materials online (lockdown, yeah) without being able to see and feel the yarns, and I'm glad you reviewed some of the yarns from Hobbii that I've been interested, for example Zafira. Your comments about basic materials were very helpful in general and honestly I learned so much from this short video hearing you talk about wool, cotton, mohair, etc. I'm definitely watching your other yarn reviews!

[@makeupfunwitholivia1833]

I just love your reviews. So thorough and fun (love it when you call us boo, hehe). I’ve been eyeing this site but just wasn’t sure. I may try some now. Thank you!

[@cutethulu_xo]

First of all, I love your nails. Second, thank you for this review! I just got into weaving and just bought a bunch of stuff from Hobbii and I feel more secure in my purchase after watching this. It was way less expensive than going to Jo-ann's or Michael's.

[@sariahj824]

Just wanted to say I absolutely love watching your yarn reviews and that they’re some of my favorite videos you do! I also just bought some of that wool ease yarn to try out your basket pattern and I’m so excited!

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

What a fabulous review. I will be watching again when I’m ready to make a purchase. Thank you. I’ve added Hobbi to my shopping selections.

[@karenmyers00]

I’ve been a knitter for 45 years. Definitely a yarn snob. I like good yarns! New to Hobbii. Twister, Butterfly and Universe (Halloween) are divine. The color ways are stunning and vivid in detail. Soft and great drape. Not really a wool or mohair fan at this stage. Can’t speak to those products at all. Really love this companies products. Placing order #5 now. When I start a project with Hobbii fibers, I cannot wait to see how the colors unfold in the working. Have not been this mesmerized in awhile.

[@jesswallenmeyer1510]

This is my first time on this channel and I already love it. I’ve only been crocheting for just over a year so I have a lot to learn. I really love the stitches you’ve used. I can’t wait til I can turn out such cool stitches from memory. I’ll be sure to try some hobii yarn with confidence that it’ll be good.

[@collettemckee]

Love it. I’d been wondering about that stonewashed like yarn. I’m excited now to try it out. I was intrigued how you used both ends of the cake with the mohair blend. Would you normally do that in a project? If so I’d love to see a technique video about it. Also hands down your yarn reviews are my favorite. You’re so thorough and give so much information. 🥰

[@oakstrong1]

I'm guessing she is pulling the yarn from outside and centre at the same time. That's what I would do. (And did once.)

[@oakstrong1]

'Tuula Maria crochet' (pretty sure that's her channel name) has made a video of a brilliant way of doubling up yarn from the same cake. You should find the tutorial in her video list

[@MaryAnne0210]

I’m so glad I discovered you! And this video made me consider something I’ve never done before: why I needed to know the weight/ounces/grams of my yarn. I’ve always just looked at how many yards I was getting! I’ve still got so much to learn!! 🙏🏼💕

[@journeybymiki6584]

Thank you for the detailed review Toni! Watching you crochet swatches with each type of yarn is very helpful. Zafira is on my shopping list now! ~ Miki from Otterlyyarn :)

Thanks for reviewing yarns. You are thorough, quick & educational ‼️I learn a lot from you & you don’t waste my time! Just “jabbering”👍👍🧶Fantastic👍💥

[@JaneSmith0709]

I love every yarn I've ever gotten from them. Their acrylic is soft, smooth, and doesn't split at all. My finished work looked nice and professional, unlike with some of the cheap yarns I've bought from Walmart. The weight is very consistent as I crochet, no thickening or thinning as I go. I always recommend Hobbii to everyone I know who works with yarn. Next time you need to try their Twirls! Oh my goodness, the colorways are breathtaking! Thanks for this great review, those are yarns I haven't bought from them yet. I was especially surprised at the first mohair yarn in your video. I would never choose mohair, it always looks so scratchy, but after listening to your review and seeing your swatch I might give it a try after all. Thanks, Toni.

[@jepamoo]

I am so glad I found you. Can’t wait to watch and learn from your other videos!

[@denny6106]

I love your yarn reviews. You get to the point and not all wordy.

[@Lynn-kh5rs]

I was really interested in viewing your review as I LOVE Hobbii yarn. 1st order was for a CAL they had. Loved how that worked out and started trying some of their other yarns. I'm a big fan of their cake yarns but have also ordered other yarn from them. Their customer service is the best I have ever experienced. Like someone mentioned below, one of the bags arrived torn. This was due to USPS handling. USPS owned up to it & let me know about 4 rolls were missing. Later USPS found 3 of the 4 rolls and sent them to me. I notified Hobbii what had happened just as a FYI to them. To my surprise Hobbii IMMEDIATELY sent me a replacement roll to make up for the missing one. As the problem was caused by US mail I was not expecting Hobbii to replace the roll. Excellent company!

[@CinSpain]

I love that you showed some of it in tunisian. The surface of simple stitch makes it perfect for special yarns... good call ❤

[@gocanadayayyy]

I was very suspicious of the extremely targeted nature of their ads but after seeing many positive reviews and now this one I'm feeling better about it. I impulse bought a BUNCH of their zafira "faulty colour batch" skeins and I was so nervous I'd ordered some kind of crazy yarn I won't know how to work with. After seeing your review I breathed a big sigh of relief! I have 30 skeins coming!!!

[@leighcraig1091]

Great review YS! Your presentation is flawless. I enjoy watching you. Just one question about the rainbow cotton. Did you notice if it has a tendency to “grow” with wet blocking? I’m thinking about using it for some gansey sweater work (knitting). Thx.

I’m so happy to see your review of Hobbii. At this time, am still awaiting my purchase of Twister and Cookie in a couple of days - they got caught up in the crazy winter weather we experienced, so my total wait = 16 days. I have purchased from them before - and absolutely love the Dolce Cashmere and the Metallica (gorgeous copper color). I was hesitant on the cottons, but I think you sold me 🤗 - making primarily drawstring pouches, market bags and light open front coverups. I always end up buying 1 or more of your reviewed yarns and have loved them all, so I thank you !!!
