I’m one of those who made granny square crochet in the late 1950 and sixteenths… we just asked anybody to give us leftovers of any yarn, couleur and texture, so I would not pay this price, I don’t mind couleurs change in the middle of a row, what I do is not professional, just fun and gifted to people who like or need it . I offer bunnies and scarves to people who freeze 🥶 in the street, it’s my joy to make these things. Thanks for sharing ❤ from us
From France ❤
I agree, I probably will not purchase this yarn because for me, granny squares are meant to be made from scraps. I love that you donate your crocheted items to people in need.❤❤❤
Jen, I noticed you beginning your squares with a short tail. Red Heart recommends a 4" tail at beginning and end. I watched another Podcaster use a ruler and his colors matched up pretty good. That said, I enjoy your yarn reviews very much, especially because you work up the yarn. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your channel.
Yes! It makes so much sense that it caused her to have to drop down a hook size or tighten up the tension, which of course, would make the square pucker. I found myself trying to tell her what to do as I watched it. 😅
I came here to say the same thing.
17:12 Same for me! Connecting lots of granny squares is _never_ an option. I rather make a continous granny rectangle, and would love to try these yarns to see the result.
I had to go up to a 6 mm hook, no stitch between the granny clusters, and used up extra yarn by slip stitching. It’s been great and have made up one and a half skeins-worth of granny squares in two days. Totally worth it! Loving this yarn…and I DON’T like granny squares! 😂
I like the corner 2 corner sampler.
I like that you showed this in a different way then a granny square as well, because I feel like I would use it for something other than granny squares if I got it.
The yarn is beautiful, I never wanted this for squares but to make a cute quirky funky blanket. Will get it on sale for maybe a granny stripe blanket
Jennifer my hands are like the way you describe yours to be. Years ago they were so bad I had to keep bandages on them because the little bumps would bleed and burn. I tried many lotions to no avail then I tried the O’Keeffe’s working hands. It healed my hands and stopped the flare I was having.
I still have issues and start using the working hands when I start noticing the issue starting to flare up again. My daughter has the same issue and recently told me the Aveeno baby eczema therapy nighttime balm works really well also. She recently had her 1st baby so found it because she uses it for the baby and noticed how it helped her hands.
My hands are like sandpaper and the nail sides are like yours and I have trouble with certain yarn too, and red heart is top of that no go list. I can not use it. I can use most wool though. And microfiber is like Velcro to my hands.
Don’t know if those lotions would help you or not but they work for me so wanted to mention it. 💕🌞
❤️❤️llama momma Kayla has a good tutorial on sewing the granny squares together….very fast method
Thank you. I did go and look at her videos and that is a good, quick method.
I'm so glad someone finally went outside the granny square box! I snagged a few of these on sale and was thinking of crocheting funky stripey hats! 💚
I think these would make nice granny square hats! I’m gonna try to get a few colors ordered from Joanna cuz it’s about $6-7 a skein on their website/app. Hopefully not much for delivery lol. I do t wanna have to go pick it up cuz it’s halfway across town from me
The colors are beautiful
Jen , I always watch your videos. I don't always comment on them , but I do enjoy watching and I learn so much from you. I am a 6 month crocheting. So I a newbie. 😊😊❤
🤯 I have Lupus, which predominantly attacks my skin and muscle. RHSSakes my hands turn bright red and swell, and I never thought it was the yarn!! Thank you. Done with it.
I'm glad you did the corner to corner so that you could see that there is other things you could use with that with the yarn! Thanks Jennifer!
Love all your honesty in yarn reviews ❤❤
Thank you for sharing your opinion on this yarn. The price is crazy!! I like watching you crochet 🧶. Have a good day 🤗
Try your corners with only 1 chain instead of 2,,I would try that . and instead of the magic loop try chain 4 for the loop. Thanks for taking time to give us your opinion, Here Many Crafts are mastered by Trails and Errors . Like you. I have been there and at my old age I think its always a learning process. Ninette Bird - The Caribbean Wife.
I never realized that the yarn was causing problems on my hands until I started watching your videos. Now I have quite a few using RHSS altogether. Just another thing I have learned from watching your channel. I wonder if it’s something they put in or on the yarn that causes it, but end up with sores on my hands. Thanks Jen🦋
For me it is the roughness of that yarn.
I will be passing on this yarn. Its to frustrating! Thank you for your video!
I’m glad you showed this yarn in c2c. I can’t wait to see it knitted up. Have a great day.
I just bought this today for 7. A ball at Joann’s I’m very happy 😃
Good morning Jenn. Thanks for the review. I went back and watched Mikeys tutorial. It's worth watching. He does the granny a bit differently to make it work. He uses a chain 6 at the first, instead of chaining 3. Once this yarn hits Canada I'm sure it will be $14.99 per skein. Gotta wait for the Michael's coupons! The yarn in my scrap bin is free!! Lol. Have a great day😊
Thanks for your comments about the blisters on your hands from yarn. I agree that RHSS is not smooth and maybe it causes my blisters. I have an auto-immune disease, too. About this yarn- it seems like too much time to worry about the colors. It is quicker to use my own colors and make squares in my choice of yarn.
According to regular people😆 and Mikey the tension and following directions is of utmost importance. Some were successful after working out what hook produce proper gauge.
Regular people?
Yes the crochet crowd has a tutorial for the granny squares out of the granny square yarn. I personally have not tried it yet but it looks like it should work. It also looked like you figured it out. The corner to corner sample looks pretty also.👍🤗
Omg I loved in corner to corner I’m gonna make
I haven’t seen anyone that truly likes it. But the corner to corner looks cute
There are directions on the yarn sleeve on how to make these squares, but hard to locate because the writing is so small. It answers some of the questions you were asking.
To me it is a different pattern of granny square than what I've made myself.
Lots of people have reviews out on this yarn. I'm watching lots of them and people have also found other ways to end up with squares without running out of yarn.
I really appreciate your review and your channel. TYSM
I've not purchased this yarn yet. But i will be purchasing it when the price comes down or goes on sale
Yay! I just bought this yarn for $6.99 from Joann’s! Thanks for your demo ❤
Good afternoon Jennifer, I love the sound of your wind chimes, very relaxing to listen to. Thanks for sharing this, I’m sure I may try this as of the cost factor, I could get more for the money! Have a wonderful day! ❤️🤗
Our dog Dori does barks at all deliveries. Makes it nice because we live in the middle of nowhere. Lol😂
They have an at Joann fabrics for 999 It's new, I'll just wait for it to go down. No hurry, thank you for sharing.
I love the afghan they showed on their email. Absolutely beautiful blue and orange colors.
Thanks for the video Jennifer. Have you ever thought of using paper medical tape? It will probably be a pain but the way you hold your yarn it might work. It's a lot just too be able to use this yarn. If you really like it though it could help or maybe some crafting fingerless gloves. Hope you and the family had a great New Year.
Some patterns say chain 4, join, chain 6 2 fouble crochet ssme stitch, chain 3 for corner 3 double crochet, chain 3, 3 double crochets, chain 3, 3 double crochets, chain3, join in 3rd with boye H for most i watched this worked
Thank you Jennifer ❤
Looks like a great pooling yarn
The instructions say to leave a 4 inch tail. Maybe that’s why you had extra yarn in row 1 and 2? I bought my yarn from Herrshners in soft white-amethyst for 9.99.
Hi Jen! How refreshing to see a more positive review of this new yarn! Pleased it worked better for you than it has for others! I agree the colours are pretty and yes the reduced ends are a massive plus point! Have fun playing in the future ❤
I think the yarn is beautiful, so beautiful that I bought all the colors on sale from Joann's for $5:70 a skein. I crochet tight, so I may not have a problem with having to frog it back. I will see. I like the C2C pattern. Thanks for the review. 😊
How did it go??
I would just crochet as a big granny square. The c2c is adorable. 🤗🙌❣️
Thanks for trying it. Like that you tried it in a corner to corner. For me the granny square would be as much work as individual yarns. Great idea but not exactly on mark for me yet and not the greatest price yet. One huge granny would be better but not at that price and a softer yarn. Thanks so much for doing these. Huhs
I love the stary night shawl but even more important, I love your channel!
I have seen other reviews but I don't remember anyone changing hooks to make it work.🤔 You did a great job with the review of this yarn. I do like the idea of granny squares and a corner to corner. It's too bad it is so expensive.
Wishing you a beautiful blessed day 🙏🏻🥰💖
I really like it with the C2C idea, I wish I knew how to do it. Lol
Loved this review video. One of the things I most appreciate about your videos is that you are thorough and try different things other than what a yarn is"indeed" for. I agree the colors are very pretty and fun and yes that price point is high. I'll wait until a sale and definitely pick up a few balls because I also don't mind frogging just a small amount. Thanks for another great video. I'm currently working on another spring fling tee. That is my favorite style to and it's so easy to adjust up it down for sizing. 😊
This reminds me of trying to keep tension to make the argyle design with the neon stripes. I made to afghans and had to change tension and hooks quite a bit. Thank you for the review. I've been eyeing this yarn and might give it a try. The c2c idea and hats might be neat too
Looks like it might work well for mitered squares in knit or crochet! Because it's a matter of figuring out guage and stitch corner out and gives some flexibility in texture and design. Just put in a bit of a yarn eater for one row or the opposite.
You're so thorough you could be a scientist!
I have seen multiple reviews on this yarn and there is a pattern on it for the granny square.
I bought it at Joanna for 7.99 so I'm happy. I will make a bag with the two skeins I bought
If you're liking the color hang with doing a granny square, then you're going to love it when you knit a beanie with it! Beautiful!
Definately a good idea for Boggy Creek afghans.
Love your approach to reviews, Jen. You're always thinking 'outside the box' because that is truly the majority! 😁 Real review for real people! 😊👍🧶
Hope you're enjoying The Mouse with your family and that your ankle and hip are behaving! 🤗
The yarn is beautiful. Most people have a longer beginning tail to weave in. Not just one inch.
Thank you for sharing your experience and video. ❤
I love that sound 🥰🥰🥰👏🏽 I’m sorry about the link I posted in the FB group before about this yarn. But I’m not sorry that I started the buzz in the group! 🤣🤣🤣
No worries!
I ordered one scan of that yarn because I only liked one color but the box that they put it in 0MG! It was HUGE . And I mean huge you might have been able to get 16 or 18 skins in the box. I ordered one.
I purchased 3 skeins from Joann’s…..it was on sale and used a 20% off coupon for order online / pick up…..paid $5.12 each. The 3 colors I chose end with black as the last round
This granny square yarn is on sale atJoanns for 7.12 with coupon not sure how long sale is for today is 1/10/24. Glad you did the review
99% of my yarn purchase are on sale. I love granny square blankets, but my tension control is towards the looser side and I don't want to have to check and recheck each round. I like the colors and I am hoping to find other patterns for it. I enjoyed your video. ❤
First time viewer here and I honestly don't recall how I found you or youtube just snuck you in my watch queue lol either way I'm HAPPY I found your channel and I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos!! (Also never apologize for that lovely windchime - it totally made my night more peaceful / calming) 💜
Love that yarn
How is this yarn different from the regular red heart variegated yarn?
Thank you for making this video. You worked out all of the kinks for me.
I don’t think I would make granny squares with this yarn. The colors look pretty so I could make other projects with this yarn.❤
I got mine on sale at Joanne's. I gave 7.12 for some and a little over 5 for some. I would not buy it full price but I love the colors already picked out for me. It is a challenge to work with. Mine did have the exact pattern on the label but I do not like that pattern so I used a J hook and did my normal pattern. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I used to hate making granny squares and I got this yearn but didn’t realize it was the gay. Until just making a big square with it and do not care about the color being where it’s at . It is still coming out very nice lol 😂 tfs
I got it 25% off Joanns. I'm making a big super saver blanket and am using the cyber green color for the center
I too have issues with getting itches but from mohair and angora. Also my hands crack in winter. So I use one part Dr. Bronner mixed with three ish parts water for liquid hand soap. Seems to help.
The yarn is very pretty. I don’t make granny squares but I like the way it looks in the corner to corner. I would try the granny stripes to see how it looks. Thank you for your review. 💜🙏🏻
I thought it was funny because I am crocheting granny squares with Red Heart Super Saver Stripes and Gorgeous. I am just going with the flow lol These are all left overs from projects. I was thinking I might make a funky market bag or two (I have a few balls to use lol) . Would I buy the yarn? Probably if like you said it was under 7 dollars. Those are pretty combinations. Thank you though hon on showing us how tension and hook size matters. And I really liked your corner to corner square as well. Very cool idea. Hope this finds you all well and happy
I'm thinking this yarn should color pool pretty easy
Thank you that is exactly what I have been thinking, I am surprised no one else has mentioned color pooling!
Thanks Jen..I’ve watched a few different reviews on this yarn and it is most definitely fiddly to find a gauge/hook size that makes it work the way it’s supposed to. I found this yarn in my local JoAnn’s on 12/30/23 at 25% off but did a total pass on it. 😵💫🧶💕
I also work with the hook size recommended.
I love to hear your Wind Chimes! Very soothing! 🩷
Did you see that the instructions for the square actually are on the label? Although that print is tiny. I kept watching after you tossed the label aside because I knew you’d make some kind of wild magic happen 🤣. For myself, I’ve been churning these squares out like crazy from the two skeins I got. Both of my skeins were picked up from JoAnn’s in store for $7 and change each. I want to make that cute backpack they have a pattern for on their website.
It might work out ok with the solid granny 🧶🧶
I love when chimes, doesn’t bother me at all.
Regarding eczema, I'm noticing blistering on my fingers lately and I think it's craft related since most of my collection is acrylic. Even when I lost crojo or took breaks for the week or two the blisters persisted only where the yarn passes for tension and where the aluminum hook rests hardest on my right index finger, and hang nails in warm weather. I know it's not anything else effecting my skin because this never happened before learning crochet and has been recurring since learning the hobby. I know eczema isn't the same for everyone just pointing out the breakouts might be specific agitation from grazing a plastic fiber so often.
After having watched several reviews of the same yarn I liked that you showed how it works up with a different stitch
I have zero issues on my hands, until i come in contact with certain chemicals, or fibers. I use a ton of yarn and a variety of hooks. And no problems, until i touch specific things
First time watching your channel. I was curious about this yarn. I'm not much of a red heart fan. I think the price is too high. It is cute. But I don't want to make grannies very much. Because I don't make blankets and don't want to sew squares together. I don't care about color change in rounds because I bury my tails as I change colors, so that is a non issue for me. Corner to corners are new for me. And again I don't want to make blankets. I want to make amigurumi. So I'm glad I checked it out. I don't think this yarn would be good for that. I will watch you again. I think you did a fair evaluation. I understand about your hands. I have health issues and am basically a spoonie now because of those. I like your wind chime and your voice. Thanks for the review.
Joann’s carries this yarn in-store.
Thanks for the review Jen. I will definitely be buying some ❤
Also girl. Go to Sally beuty store and buy the cuticle oil is pink. It works so great my son and my self had the same problem. We went to ask for help and she told us it was great and it was. We finish half of the bottle and we never had them back.
I had to put this aside because of the frogging and changing hooks. I will try you method of slip stitching in beginning. Joann's already have it on sale for 7.12 and even less with a coupon 5 somthing on 1/3/24. I will try again and if anything just let it do whatever like the C2C or just live with the slightly off granny.
I love grannies, but as you reiterated=I detest joining granny squares. So much so that I have made a LOT of blankets that are just one enormous single granny. 😊 Sometimes I put a border on it, sometimes just switched to a coordinating yarn for the last round/edge. Sometimes I did a border (like learned from Jaydainstitches)a shell/SC/shell. In any case I'm doubtful that I will buy this yarn. I get bulk amounts of yarn from auction for way cheaper than buying from stores. Resale shops also. If I happen upon some there, I'll have fun playing with it 😁as you did. I have a WIP going now that I started with red solid, and am alternating green and white. Didn't finish it for Christmas bc the day before this video I learned of my next older brother's death. Then I got covid for the first time. Haven't felt like crocheting for a while now.
I love the corner to corner square! I think it would be cool to do these squares and arrange them to create a chevron-ish look. 🤩💕❤️💕💖
I want to try this yarn!
I'm going to get about 6-7 to try a granny cardigan or blanket. Joann has them for 7.12 a ball at the moment.
You have the patience of a saint, i wondered about gauge, now I know. Thank you so much.
Wind chime sounds beautiful. So far your video is#3 review on this yarn. Everybody has had problems with it. Good luck.
In the right column of the instructions it does say to leave a four inch tail. Not a little piece four inches after the first slip know if you do that the rest will fall into place better.
Joann Fabric has this for $7.12 right now! Not sure I like it yet but for the price they offer right now…I’ll try it lol
Thank you for sharing your experience with the RedHart yarn. I think I like the c2c best.
You're wonderful at your artistry. Thank you for sharing.
After watching several videos where someone is struggling with that granny square yarn I said that yarn is not for me. Don't have the time or patience to watch my tension so closely on every row or be willing to frog and start over for every square.
So I'm so happy that you a stepping outside the box on this one. Knew I could depend on you for that. Thanks so much!!
Have you ever tried the birth's these products on your cracked skin. I used to deal with a lot as a cashier.Working with paper money receipts and coupons and it was the only thing that kept my finger skin from cracking. I hope that helps you some, really enjoy your video😊
LOVE the colors and how it changes in the skein.... I would love to work up scarves etc to see just how the colors would play out in different stitches/hooks- FUN yarn indeed!♥️🤗
Thank you for doing this I have been seeing this yarn everywhere! Can you imagine this yarn making knit mitered squares? How stinking cute
Chain 5 for the corner's that's how I crochet a granny square
❤❤❤Jennifer maybe if you tried thin disposable gloves, sounds good to me, maybe it will curb your problems, ❤ would love to hear if it works for you!
I love wind chimes. I have them all over my porch and in my house. But it also sounds like you have a lot of traffic in the background which is okay for me to.
But I agree $11.99 for yarn is way too expensive.😢
Really great video! Solves it for me. I’m not going to run out and purchase it but it does look cute in corner to corner. I’m not so good with tension so I’d have problems, and I don’t mind weaving in ends. However it is way cheaper than buying 5 different coloured yarns to get the same result.
Ok, I totally understand your skin issues. I have that too and you could be allergic to something in the yarn. My fingers get clusters of tiny blisters and itch like crazy. My dermatologist also told me to never use Dawn dish soap again. Please take care of your hands, they also said you can develop arthritis due to this condition.
I have had arthritis since i was a teenager
