YARN SNOB REVIEWS - WeCrochet Spring Yarns [MY FIRST 1 HOOK REVIEW??!!]

[@valkyrievision]

Thank you so much for this! I now have a new place to find yarn. I’m blind, and you’re one of the few people who reviews yarn that talks not just about the color, but the texture and how the yarn feels when you work with it in detail. Thank you so much.

[@Clairelaferret]

Do you have any tips for crocheting by feel alone? I’ve been having eye problems and haven’t been able to crochet for 8 months and I miss it so much! If you have any advice I’d be extremely grateful

[@INKSTARS1138]

@@Clairelaferret from what I gather from people who touch crochet (while doing other things) using a slightly larger hook helps you feel the stitches. (ie using a 5.5mm vs a 5mm hook) It takes practice, but using fibers you're familiar with is a great way to start. Hopefully this can help you. ♥

[@cindymello5394]

I can confirm that Elixir is better for knitting than crochet! I made just a simple ribbing and stockinette hat with it and it turned out nice.

[@threedm2]

I stumbled across the Upcycle Alpaca when it first became available and only paid $4.99. When I realized the price was going to double, I purchased every color in sport and worsted. I absolutely LOVE ❤️ this yarn!!!!

[@morelikegayther]

i'm a 13yo crocheter and your videos taught me a lot about yarn and crochet :)

[@rebeccabilly7466]

I knitted a WWII watch cap from the Upcycle Alpaca and it's fantastic. Too warm for the climate here, so it probably won't get worn more than a few days a year, but very nice for gifts for my northern family. I am midway through a pullover sweater in Heatherly, and I absolutely love this yarn. I was looking for something nice but less warm than 100% wool, and decided to try it out. It looks great and it's really enjoyable to work with. I had to frog and reknit several inches and, even on the third or fourth go-round, the yarn held up really well. I know I'm talking about knitting here, but I'm a crocheter, too, and I'd use either of them to crochet with--Heatherly especially for any garment for children.

[@xlena60]

The Heatherly Worstwd caught my eye the most. As always, I love these yarn snob reviews. It helps me tremendously looking for yarn for specific projects. Thank you again, Toni.❤

[@cherylcervantes6655]

When I was researching colors and textures for my temperature blanket this year I came across Heatherly. We Crochet had the 12 color packs discounted and i thought the colors were so beautiful I bought the color pack and used that pallet as my granny square temperature blanket. It is a pleasure to work with, the colors are gorgeous and the texture is a joy to the hand. Thank you for reviewing We Crochet yarns they are my favorite place to buy yarn.

[@lindawilliams7652]

I love your honesty when it comes to either yarn choice or hooks . Keep , keeping it honest and keep those tutorials coming. 👍🏿

[@maridlins]

Not crochet related but… I LOVE those floral curtains!!! 😍❤️

[@darcypalmer7783]

Me too! And they look so good with your headband and sweater, gorgeous!

[@sonyacalef8639]

I have them too and they are delicious. From Target.

[@darthlaurel]

Brava tweed knits and crochets up beautifully. I really love it. Great to work with.

[@tmwoltz226]

I love how you say your Momma told you to keep your mouth shut and then you go on with your review, lol. Thanks for sharing your honestly with us.

[@StaciaMeconiates]

Elixir looks like a great yarn to do mosaic crochet with. The stitches are simple, but I feel like the heather look would pop in the colorwork patterns

[@naomicurrier1]

What I have always loved about your reviews is you stopping to show what it looks like stitched up, and you don't hold back on your own opinion. You are one of the few reviewers/creators that I truly trust when you give a recommendation. All that said lol, I loved the Heatherly worsted and Upcycled Alpaca. I love that both are more soft in color and that the Upcycled is muted. So I plan on buying both when I have funds again.

[@airenmoonwolf2520]

You look so cheerful and color coordinated today :) It's kinda dreary outside my window today and your video just brightened my day all up!

[@renealee]

Brava Tweed is one of my favorites! I'm crocheting a sweater in it and I'm loving it. I also like Brava stripes for making hats on my knitting machine. I also love Heatherly! It is sooo lovely working with it. Mind you, I'd purchased it for a knit project, so I haven't used it yet. The muted colors just called to me for a long lasting wearable.

[@keishajackson4054]

First I want to say you are a GREAT salesperson!! Professional delivery. The number one thing I love about the review is your suggestion for a project to start with that particular yarn. Heatherly looks amazing. I want to buy a hank of that Alla Prima and just use it as a pillow 😂

[@TLYarnCrafts]

lol that Alla Prima has my heart - it's so pretty!!

[@rubybailey3197]

Thanks 👍 for your video 🥰 I love yarns very much and books

[@thesquishstitch]

I’m SO thrilled you’re doing a class at my LYS!! I saw a sign with your face by the door and I was like OMG what?! 😂

[@oscara8454]

I bought heatherly worsted on Knit Picks. I read a comment from them that says there was a missprint on the care instructions.

[@TLYarnCrafts]

There is. The site says one thing, and the label says something else. But I haven't had any problems washing and drying my Heatherly swatches.

[@butterflymo]

I love your video's Toni! You are a wealth of knowledge! You really have helped me with crochet and Tunisian crochet, i love tunisian , but even with your book, i'm still struggling. However, i'm going to be at the colour theory workshop n the 18th. Great price for your amazing teaching. I'm really looking forward to it!

[@butterflymo]

Please stop spamming Toni's videos

[@gaylehatton3734]

Nice share. Always love seeing new yarns.

[@lisalesinszki7536]

Hi, Toni. I like your easy, breezy but no nonsense style. Your work is beautiful and I thank you for sharing with us. 😀✌🏻

[@melissaj8384]

I just started BOTM and I'm impressed. I usually read on-line or audio but, I also love the feel of a book. I'm reading The London Seance Society. It's REALLY good so far. Thank you for this podcast. I am so grateful for your reviews. Happy hooking!

[@EmsIsFab]

I LOVE your yarn reviews - you have a way with words! And OMG that Elixir yarn? THat linen strand looks awqful sticking out!

[@ofullerwright]

Just bought your flatiron shawl pattern this morning and love working on it so far. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! ❤

[@janawalczuk833]

This is my first view of your channel…..so bright, cheerful and well produced…..I love it🧶😎

[@clarescorner451]

I love browsing through We Crochet!

[@janelange2368]

Awesome job! Your reviews are a highlight in my day.

[@brendascuccimarri8138]

I have to agree with you on the Elixir yarn and my favorite was the Heatherly

[@shawnkimadopting]

I knitted my husband a cabled vest this past winter with the Upcycle Alpaca. When it first arrived I wasn't super impressed. Then I started knitting with it and really enjoyed it!

[@ShiraAnthony]

Love love LOVE your yarn snob reviews. Seeing you swatch up yarns and tell us how they feel I'm your hands really helps me decide on yarns for new projects. I tend to stay away from acrylic yarns- I don't like the feel of them in hands. You're a pleasure to watch and I always learn something. 😘😘😘

[@ginnyc]

I have the heatherly sport. It is delightful. 💜 Thanks for the honest review, so many influencers wouldn't be so truthful. 💕

[@mcd5478]

Your yarn snob reviews are some my all time FAVORITE KZbin videos! ❤️‍🔥❤️❤️‍🔥

[@hopelam4425]

I love your reviews so much. Honestly this just makes me so happy.

[@aztigerval1979]

Glad to hear how much you lime the up cycle alpaca one. I have some but haven't used it yet.

[@riklangley7]

You really do have such a soothing voice, sometimes I turn you on just for background noise and it helps me get through the day 😊🎉

[@maverickmayhem6409]

Okay. I have touched a real book to read in years...but hearing Toni describe it is lusciously tempting...as is the yarn

[@elizabethp2395]

"You can get it all from Book Of The Month... and you don't even have to put on real pants!" I love you, Toni. 😂😂😂

[@Susi1406]

I am loving that elixir ❤❤❤I would totally love 💕 to knit with that. 🤗

[@bentonkin2596]

I love watching this series even though I know full well that I will only ever buy paintbox

[@dawnhezlep2077]

Always love your yarn snob reviews. Thank you for always telling it like it is. Hugs

[@jencrochetingradtech5913]

Thank you! I appreciate the reviews and I have bought several different yarn brands due to the number of hooks you gave them. No misses yet😊

[@mariawinzler]

I love watching you! I learned how to crochet as a child but never got into it till recently. You give a lot of good information and now I am selling a lot of good items. Thank you so much!!!

[@lucieperchellet]

I'm definitely excited to try Heatherly! Upcycle Alpaca would definitely have me skeptical at first too, but based on how you described the texture, I think I would really like working something up with it. Personally I love the color palette, but agree there's ALWAYS room for more 😂

[@janetdressing39]

I totally agree with you about Heatherly. It’s a perfectly lovely squishy yarn and I'll take it in any color. I bought the pack of 12 a while back and I love it.

[@joanmachado9063]

Great video thank you

[@kathywelch8722]

I enjoy your reviews. It’s nice to learn about different yarns. You are honest and very thorough when you talk about different yarn. Thank you for sharing. 💜🙏🏻

[@deenayoung-kenyon3070]

Toni you are so beautiful and I love the colours you’re wearing with those floral curtains! Love your channel 🧡

[@KizetteandTotoro]

OMg, your beautiful jumper, your head scarf, your manicure… You look absolutely stunning (beautiful background too). Fantastic Review as always. I am really tickled by that upcycled alpaca..I am going to see if I can find sameting like that here. Love from Japan.

[@darcypalmer7783]

I love your yarn reveiws. I just wanted to get my hands on all those lovely, squishy yarns.

[@candacemorrison1204]

You hooked me when you said I didn’t need pants! I’m in! Subscribed and ordered ( hope you earn from it 😊) some of the Heatherly Worsted! Thank you! I’m excited to get it in my hands!

[@shelleyblondeau2205]

I discovered Brava Tweed last year and it's a joy to work with.

[@Hookedonfaith-akasandramoody]

Wanted to mention that your model in the sweater weather cardi is very pretty. Love the reviews. Thanks ❤

[@rashaunakovacich1979]

That blue alla prima is just beautiful! IT looks like heaven to crochet with! I must learn Tunisian crochet. I bet you have an awesome tutorial for Tunisian. I just love the looks of the Tunisian.

[@teresawilson2628]

Brava Tweed caught my interest. Think I’ll try it with the pattern you suggested. Thanks so much for your honest reviews…until I found you on KZbin I was stuck on what yarns to use. You’re the best and such an inspiration to me!!

[@marlajeffries86]

I learn so much from your videos. Thank you for all of the information and inspiration!

[@oodlesacaboodles]

I've never purchased from WeCrochet. Thank you very much for letting me know what they have and the quality of their yarn.

[@deniseschueller986]

I appreciate the review of the yarns ... I might need to purchase some of the wool alpaca acrylic blend!

[@ivymerritt7577]

Wonderful review!! I'm going to have to check out We Crochet!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@ewallace791]

I've been wanting a Wool Ease replacement and Mill House is looking awesome.

[@kellysullivan7730]

Thanks for another wonderful yarn review! While my selections are hindered due to wool allergy, I look forward to your reviews of all types of yarn. Thank you for being honest. 😊

[@OliviaSLynch]

Thank you for your review! I look forward to these. I really want to try the Heatherly and I pray it works well in the washing machine. On another note, I am terrible with trying to figure out which colors to use for any project so I am really interested in your class on March 18!

[@angelarobbinscooper8095]

I am looking forward to the also

[@jewelse1975]

Love the reviews!! Thanks Toni.

[@cindyb5065]

I love your reviews since it’s hard for me to purchase online for a full project not actually feeling or swatching a specimen first. We seem to have similar tastes and experiences with yarn so I’m finding that I trust your judgment as much as my own now. Thanks for taking the time to do these reviews.

[@TJtheBee]

The Mill Hose Super Bulky is definitely looking appealing...I like to make projects to donate in the winter, so maybe I'll pick some of this up so I can make more projects! The Brava Tweed looks really appealing, too. Right now, I'm working on a big shawl in Wool of the Andes Superwash, and I'm loving it so far. PS: Thank you for your Hue Loco Cozy in Colorado recommendation. I got some in Merino Sock, and I'm making ANOTHER AdventUrous scarf. My first was in Skein tones, and I've really fallen in love with the simple pattern with a big payoff!

[@TJtheBee]

By the way - may have just bought a shitton of yarn via your recommendations. ...what? I needed yarn to make donation projects! (No I didn't. That's a lie. My two OVERFLOWING buckets of yarn would like to have an intervention with me now . . .)

[@fionariley8004]

lol i've had my eye on the upcycle alpaca for a minute and this vid finally convinced me to grab some. thanks toni!

[@amandawiggy2284]

I've been eyeing that heatherly for a while!! Great to hear it's a really good quality yarn ❤

[@priscillapulido8722]

Wow amazing reviews I loved it and learned a lot thank you. Cari will pray for u and your daughters. Have faith and hope God loves u

[@maryanncasale87]

Thank you so much for your honest yarn review! I find your videos so helpful!

[@cynthiahale9888]

Always love your yarn reviews! I have learned so much about yarns by watching them. Keep doing these please 😊

[@starbrown940]

Thank you Toni. I wonder what you would say about Afrique yarns. Just made two totally different tanks with their yarns and I love them. Texture is the name of that cotton game!

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Loved this review. Thank you, Toni. ❤

[@debabrams8438]

Thanks for sharing this with us

[@TheLovePowerGoddess]

Heatherly worsted! Fabulously beautiful!

[@denisefaust1290]

Love your yarn reviews! Keep them coming!

[@wendypenrod2559]

I love your videos. I have never heard if we crochet before. If I had the money, I would go in line to see about maybe getting some of their yarn but I don’t.

[@deboraalexis4016]

So I love that last yarn very much! Reminds me of hedgehog, potluck #6 it really soft and nice. Costly but I like. I will definitely check out that one you show us. Thanks for your report on the yarn. ❤️🧶🧶

[@Minyamire]

Thanks for reviewing the Upcycle Alpaca! I bought some on sale and have not crocheted with it yet so it was nice to hear that it was worth the purchase after all~~

[@susanyoung1129]

Loved the Heatherly !

[@kashanalassiter6293]

Your Elixir review hurt my feelings…made me tear up a little 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@kryysberry]

yesss I bought the upcycled alpaca on a whim with my last order. so glad it lives up to your standards!! not entirely sure what I want to make out of it just yet...

[@Jillelen]

I so much appreciate these reviews! And your down to earth wording. We’d be friends in non-Facebook-KZbin life. Thanks again

[@JeanKnits]

I love working with larger yarns so I am headed over to check out the Mill House Super Bulky!

[@quietone748]

I just love you to bits, Toni. You bring such love and light to the world. I cracked up at the "I need a cocktail after crocheting with this yarn". I too found that yarn to be questionable. I love linen, but that was just horrible.

[@carib4300]

Thank you so much for the shout out! ❤️❤️ I keep watching all these beautiful Tunisian yarn snob swatches and I'm finally thinking I might have to try it! 😅

[@veniestagourdine3881]

Toni my cousin and I just had this exact conversation about an actual book verses audio , while each are good there is nothing like turning pages and that fresh off the press smell of a book . While discussing books we’ve read I’ve noticed that with audio some miss little tidbits because of distractions around them . For me I’m a page turner .

[@AMFibers]

I've been looking at Heatherly and I remember reading on the site that the mill recommends handwash only but WeCrochet thinks machine wash is fine. 🤷🏻‍♀️ In any case, I'm thinking of using it for a temperature blanket of my niece's first year of life so I'm happy to hear you like it!

[@vickyfeller1500]

I bought the spring and winter pallet bundles of Heavenly worsted in January. LOVE the feel of it. I might just try knitting with it and make a simple blanket. Also, Brava Worsted tweed is the BOMB! I hope they come out with more colors; I ❤ anything tweed.

[@valeriehowden471]

Joined late because I missed the notification. Love a good yarn snob review. The colourway of the last yarn are wonderful but wholeheartedly agree that time will ravage the yarn.

[@elizabethborgia3738]

I would like to know how to choose a good yarn for color pooling/color planning? What is the best? What is the easiest? Is there beginner frendly yarn for it?

[@EmilyKnits]

Great review :) It's nice to see the yarns in action and hear about how they feel and work up

[@beverlywoodworth9164]

Toni, you do come across as a best friend and I love that! I have an idea for future videos that I haven't seen. In Florida every church, library and yarn shop seem to have a crochet group, however, it is March and it's 87 degrees outside. Do you have any suggestions for crocheting during hot , hot weather? The rest of the states will catch up to our weather soon and we don't want to put our needles down,. I would love a light weight boomerang scarf and other light weight projects.. Suggestions on yarns and hook size would be appreciated so much. Thanks for considering us.

[@kierai.7627]

I would love to see you do a mini review of the new spring yarns from Joann! I'm really interested to see what other people think of them. Especially since a lot of them are lighter weights, and are very affordable for how much yarn you're getting per skein. I'm especially interested in other thoughts on Big Twist Panorama, it's very soft but it keeps un-twisting itself while I work with it. So I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

[@phojanesyhavong6375]

I went cold turkey on coffee... So far so good..

[@mcdonuts2017]

Great video! I was curious about trying out some brava worsted and I’m definitely going to now! And I’m DYING to get my hands on some Heatherly but I mostly do blankets and I’m concerned about the care instructions 😬

[@TLYarnCrafts]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Every Brava yarn I've tried has been great, so you can't go wrong there. Heatherly is too good to pass up - try ordering one skein, make a big swatch and launder it on cold settings. My guess is, it'll hold up just fine. It is mainly acrylic.

[@RemedyFibers]

Such a great episode. I've been eyeing the heatherly for a temp blanket- this was the sign I needed!

[@rebmedina2835]

I like the colours of Heatherly

[@nonielee5133]

Love all of your reviews!!!!!

[@Therese504]

I love your enthusiasm for your work! You're so knowledgeable and your voice is so soothing. I gotta say tho, the Alla Prima would be the 1 star for me. I'm not wild about the style of yarn & it's totally impractical unless you want to make a wall hanging or something. I was wondering tho, do you think the yarn you said is better for knitting might be better for a Tunisian crochet project? Thank you again for your outstanding content

[@patriciaseaton1522]

I was laughing so much from your cocktail comment I almost missed the Heatherly review. 😂
