I only found your channel yesterday and it's so nice to see an Australian you tuber. (I'm in Sydney) I've bought yarn from oz yarn a few times since mid 2020, so it was nice to see what the inside of the store looks like :)
Our spotlight is a bit like that in Queanbeyan NSW. We don’t even have one in Canberra. But we have 3 Lincrafts? I am enjoying all your videos so nice to hear an Aussie for a change.
Mama Kate's videography was perfect :) just wanted to say! And another awesome video! Omg, i am yet to find a tidy Spotlight, my local one is so ridiculously dark, & the isles are so full of crap that you can hardly get past. I don't know what would happen if someone in a wheelchair wanted to go shopping there, so bad. Also, yes please show us the backdrop making! xx
Hahaha yes she did good, apart from the part where she was filming my bum 🤣 Sooo many people saying the same about their local Spotlights 😱 seems like mayhem AUS/NZ wide!
In Townsville our spotlight is very clean and tidy. It's lovely. When I lived Cranbourne North the shop there was neat also. BUT that was in 2010. Thanku Kate. Love watching.
I agree about the Roxburgh Park store, I actually emailed them once to complain it was so bad. The reply that I was given was there was a new store manager & he was still trying to sort the store out. Here we are several months later & the store hasn’t changed a bit. Great videoing Mum 😄
Hi Kate.. Yes i love OZ yarns there staff are so helpful there.. and there yarn supply is in bulk.. No 1 shop. No 2 yarn is spot savers or Aaron yarn I used to buy it at big w used to stock it but not seen for 2yrs now.. Happy hooking lady's
I have two Spotlights in my South Eastern Victoria area but they are both dismal when it comes to yarn. Never hear of OZ but I googled and found one in Somerton, which is just over an hour away from me. A bit far, but maybe worth the trip.
Thanks for this video. I had no idea that place sold yarn! And it's just down the road from me. I totally agree about the fabric section at that spotlight store too. As a non sewing person I had no idea what fabric to get. I hope they get it sorted soon.
Just found your channel, loving it. If you are ever in the Dandenong Ranges, I'd love you to pop in and say hi 👋, there's so much I could learn from you 😁. Feel free to bring a project to work on while you visit and I'll grab a cuppa. You'll find me at Mountain Ash Yarnery (in the "other" Olinda 😆) if you're ever over this way. Justine
Hi, I'm watching you for the first time, that store Oz is incredible with all the yarn they have! I wish we had it here, I'm so tired of Michael's- greetings from NYC!! 😄🤗💜💐💝🌷
Hey Bex! Thanks for watching 😁 I think the mixture of not getting enough stock and everyone crafting like crazy has caused chaos in their stores! 😱 Although I must admit this particular store has always been messy even prior to covid 😂
I love it so much!! My favourite yarn at the moment 😍 Yes unfortunately it seems to be common at the moment! Hopefully everything will settle back down soon 🤞🏼
Never heard of Oz Yarn, so just joined it to check out prices etc.👍 Can you let us know what you think of the Needles yarn please?🧶 Thanks!🥰 Yes, I enjoy SpotSaver USA yarn & crocheted my son some sneaker slipper & lots of other things from it.😀 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
I’m using the Needles yarn at the moment! The yarn itself is fine but it has lots of joins which is really annoying!! Not sure if I just got a bad batch or if it’s common for this specific yarn. Oz Yarn’s cotton is AMAZING though! 10/10 would recommend 🙌🏼 thanks for watching Kerryn 🙂💖
Kate Polizzi Thank you. I bought some yarn from a hot dollar store the scarf turned out beautiful but the yarn tends to pill easily. So then I went to spotlight and had no idea where to start as most the learning videos I watch are based in USA and the yarn there is either 4 or 6 etc where the yarn here is 8ply, 10ply 12ply etc.
Yes I totally agree it can be hard with such a huge U.S presence here on RUclips! As a starting point I highly recommend the 4 Seasons USA Spot Saver Yarn from Spotlight. It’s great value and great quality!! Definitely one of my favourites! 😊
@@Katieree after watching some of your channel, I said to myself I’ve seen this girl around , then I watch your wedding video and you mention working at Safeway , so I went to my cousins Facebook and I couldn’t see her friends list , so I went to yours , sure enough you are friends with my cousin , so I messaged her and then she tells me your mum is one of her best friends ,, small world my cousin is Tracey from Safeway ,woolies
4:26( look of dissapointed ?)Well, in fact, you are filming the place, and I already chose wool with my eyes, and I imagine myself paying the price too if you are shocked, i am absolutly not please, I'll take your place if you want and shop there instead of you 😅
Hey Deborah, I’m not sure of their exact addresses off the top of my head but one is in Somerton and one is in Coburg. You should be able to find the details on their website 😊
I love the way you do your hair. Pls keep sharing the ways you do them. Thanks in tons☺️

Our spotlight up here in mackay is pretty descent they always stash new ones but what you’ve got here is a dream ailes and ailes of yarns😍
I sure am very lucky to live near a huge Spotlight! Thankyou for watching 🥰

Those yarn stores look amazing ❤ I would also love to see a video about your backdrop.
Thankyou Gabrielle! Stay tuned 🥰🥰
Hey kate I loved the tour around.some Spotlights here in New Zealand are also unorganized and also alot of bear shelves.
Hey Bex! Thanks for watching 😁 I think the mixture of not getting enough stock and everyone crafting like crazy has caused chaos in their stores! 😱 Although I must admit this particular store has always been messy even prior to covid 😂

I love Oz Yarn, I go to the Somerton Rd where they have the full range.
I haven’t been in a while! I’m due to go back now that they’re open again. They’re great 😁💕
Love to see the photo/ video backdrop

Hello!!!! You know if I can get this yarn online?
HELLO I enjoyed watching your shopping and subscribed👍
Thankyou so much! 🥰
Love the colours you picked out. Do you ever shop at lincraft?
Thank you! I sure do! 🥰
@@Katieree it would be good to see you do a wool haul from lincraft once the shops open up after lockdown

Hi I have just got into knitting, I was looking at that yarn today. Are you able to give a review on what yarns do buy in Australia for projects?
Hello! 🌻 That is definitely something I could see myself filming sometime in the near future 😊 stay tuned! Thankyou for watching 💕
Kate Polizzi

Hello, can I ask how many clothes can you make with one of yarn?
It really just depends what you're making and how big the skein of yarn is. Hard to say!
Kate I have trouble with yarn size and needle to knit. 8ply is all I understand. Can you help mr please.
Hi Gail!
You may find this video helpful 🙂 - ruclips.net/video/jazV_BHpTB4/видео.html
USA style yarn??? Can't imagine what that means, here in the US most of the acrylic yarn is from overseas.
Cool
Roxy is shocking , I love the one at DFO , have you been too the one at highpoint , I’m wondering what that ones like
I have been to the one near high point but not for many years so I don’t really remember what it’s like! Totally agree Roxy is a shocker 😅
@@Katieree after watching some of your channel, I said to myself I’ve seen this girl around , then I watch your wedding video and you mention working at Safeway , so I went to my cousins Facebook and I couldn’t see her friends list , so I went to yours , sure enough you are friends with my cousin , so I messaged her and then she tells me your mum is one of her best friends ,, small world my cousin is Tracey from Safeway ,woolies
Haha such a small world!! 🥰🥰
@@Katieree it is, question are you bringing out your pattern for your dear Debbie jumper ?
It’s been out for over a year now 🤣 you can find it on Etsy, Ravelry and my website 💕
Nice 👍 video God bless you
Thankyou so much 🥰
Why is it that Australia hardly has any 10ply yarn? I’m just starting out and all the patterns and all the tutorials call for this yarn 😭
I wish I knew the answer 😭
@@Katieree I’m also having a very difficult time finding Chunky and Super chunky yarns. Any suggestions?
4:26( look of dissapointed ?)Well, in fact, you are filming the place, and I already chose wool with my eyes, and I imagine myself paying the price too if you are shocked, i am absolutly not please, I'll take your place if you want and shop there instead of you 😅
Wich country For buy this crochêt
Australia! 🇦🇺
Oh I live in northern suburbs can we be crochet friends? 🙏🏻🥺
Nowhere can be as anxiety inducing as Spotlight Watergardens. It’s an abomination!
Hahaha oh gosh! It looks like it’s a common theme across their stores 😱 I don’t think I could ever work in that environment 😅
Super girl
Could you please give me the address for oz yarn. Thank you 🙂
Hey Deborah,
I’m not sure of their exact addresses off the top of my head but one is in Somerton and one is in Coburg. You should be able to find the details on their website 😊
@@Katieree thanks Kate, I’ll look them up. 🙂
