Hi Juan 💜 look who popped up in my recommendations. I loved this video the first time. It's giving me All The Things and feelings I love your handwriting. I have serial killer handwriting 😂. I love your reviews..🙏🏽🫂💜
Hi Juan! You are quite the influencer! I bought the Loops & Threads Standing Yarn Roller after watching your video last night. I also purchased a few skeins of 3 colorways of the Wool Ease "Fair Isle" and I'm trying Tunisian Knit stitch crochet to see if I get the Fair Isle pattern. Best to you from one yarn addict to another!
Hola Juan, very interesting how you measure the WPI’s. I have never done so before. And also, I have not used the Lion Brand Wool Ease Face isle yarn but now I am definitely going to give it a try. And thank you for introducing Crystal of Bag o Day. I watched a couple of her latest episodes. She sold me on ordering a mystery box from Canada. 😅 StitchedbyMimi
Hi Juan. I’ve been crocheting for years. I never knew that some skeins were an outside pull yarn. I thought that all yarn was pulled from the inside. Thank you for this new information for me.
Juan, it would be interesting to see the Fair Isle crocheted up to how it looks versus knitting. Domyou plan to work it up and show us? Thanks, and have a great day! 💙
If you look on the label of the fair isle. They show three patterns, but there knitted. Lucky for me since, i can do both. I started doing the cowl, im on the last few rows. And still have plenty of yarn left to do the hat.
Hi Juan! I just noticed that you’re a lefty. Me, too. Crochet, knit, and most everything else left-handed. I am ambidextrous enough to make the transition from one to the other pretty easy, though. It’s nice to see another lefty maker!
Thank you so much for the recommendation on the yarn stand from Michael's. I just picked up one for about $17 with a 40% off coupon. It's huge (36" high and adjustable down to 25") and with a nice heavy base (it's not going to flop over). I didn't realize how big it was, but that's so nice because you can set it on the floor and the cross bar is just above the desk height. And a bonus, I was able to put it together by myself! I usually hand these things over to my husband but thought I'd give it a try and the instructions were so clear, step by step, perfect. 😄What a treat!
Okay, now I have to have some Fair Isle. Thanks for the comparison, Juan. Once worked up, some yarns, no matter the weight, are different from one another so the finished product may not be what was expected. Good to know :)
Oooh! I love purple too. 😊 I like Lion Brand yarns, and look forward to trying their fair isle. I like to use their Mandala and Thick and Quick yarns. I appreciate your review and video. Thanks!
Hi Juan, I believe that Lion Brand Fair Isles yarn is better knitted that crocheted because of the integrated pattern , according to Bag-O-Day. I will be very interested to see your crocheted hat and scarf set. 😊 Thanks for the information regarding Michaels, I have never been to this shop and just found out that their is one near me in Québec 😊
Great video. Thanks for your thoughts. I just bought my first ball and am knitting up a hat. I love the purple too! Wish my Walmart carried it. I might have to order it from Lionbrand. LOL
Thanks for the review! I have never used Lion Brand Fair Isle! It is a beautiful yarn! I had never seen a yarn stand like that either. Just the yarn bowls!
Doing the small work up using the yarns was great, I love being able to see that, I am more of a visual learner and seeing that small part worked up made a world of difference. Thank you 💗
Hi, really enjoying your channel and content, love the way you go off course when explaining/comparing yarn. I think you are the only left handed crocheter I've seen on RUclips ❤ I have a lot of variegated yarns in my stash, blues and reds are my go to but do have others. My name is Jo and I'm also a yarn addict. Love what you do and just keep on doing it 🫶❤️🧶
I’m admiring your wall. And here I thought I have a lot of yarn in my collection. I must admit that I’m not as tidy, but I’m working on it! My vest project needs some consideration because the pattern instructions are questionable again. I like that yarn holder “tree” that you demonstrated! It’s brilliant! My yarn sits in a basket, on the floor to the right of my recliner. I have my own swift that makes nice cakes with the pull from the center. No fuss, no muss. I’m aiming to begin the shawl you had instructions for lefty’s and the righty’s. Have a great week and I’ll talk with you again soon…🧶
Ooo love both colors and types. Different textures different projects!! I make all my skeins inside pulls. I dig down into the center and pull out, hopefully a little wad, unravel and find my end. Voila middle pull. You have benificial information. Great teacher. Thank you Juan 💜🤗
Such an informative video - esp. the discussion about WPI: thanks! Also loved the side by side comparison of Lion Brand with RHSS, and how they work up in a small triangle. So interesting!
Wool Ease is definitely a favorite of mine. I use a brushed nickel toilet paper stand I bought before the yarn stands were available. Your channel is fantastic and I love all of the amazing content you are sharing. Definitely looking forward to your Amigarumi construction. Wishing you a fantastic week. ☀️✌🏼🕯️
So happy you decided to put yourself out there. You are very knowledgeable and enjoyable! I’m definitely watching all your videos. Hope you have a fabulous week!! 🧶💜
Juantastic does another great video. You are a better teacher than I am. Thank you for your time and experience. I am so happy you decided to put yourself on RUclips. JUANERFUL
Thank you Juan, for all the information, I love to learn, especially from some one who knows, its never let me down. Have a good week, kind regards from London
Hi Jaun, Enjoying your channel! I'm using dollar store small plastic waste bins for pulling my yarn. They do very nicely and they can stack, because of course I have more than one project going.😅
I got this yarn when it first came out and love it. It works up beautifully crochet but I think it’s design is more for a knitting project. Nonetheless it’s a gorgeous, well worth yarn!! 💜 thanks for another great review 👍🏻
OH MY STARS!!! Your speed is incredible! I loved this review. I’ve been wanting to try this yarn, but have been on the fence about it. I’m definitely going to give it a go. Thank you for sharing another Juantastic video! 🥰🧶
The only wool I've worked with is Lion Brand Fisherman's Friend. I started to make a hat and scarf set, but it was so scratchy I never picked it back up. I still have it, though. I like that fact that it is a blend and not just wool. I really enjoyed watching you show us the yarn. I'm going to give it a try.
Im partial to purple ( am Apparently, you have had an influence on Crystal as well. I see she bought pyrple. Lol)l. Thanks for this video. Ive never used tbis yarn. I windered how it wpuld work up .
A yarn bowl? SUGGESTION??!! I found a pot at goodwill that normally you plant what's called hens and chicks in it. Think i got it for $3..... Where it has multiple holes in the side of the pot you can place many a skein in it with center pulls and not bunch them up or one outer pull and pull out the lowest placed hole. May have to glaze the inside if you find one that isnt preglazed or it will pull threads. Thought id share my findings I've found that work for me in the cheap 😅. Thank you for the review 💜
I appreciate you doing this, I could not figure out why my finger kept getting irritated when I crocheted. I’ve listened, switched to a softer yarn and now crochet pain free
Juan after many, yarn barfs, and a colossal tangled mess caused by collapsing on a Caron Cake inside pull, I resorted to Google for help. A RUclips Channel suggested to place the cake or any skein in a small container (I’m using a small lined basket)such as a rectangular glass dish, or lined or plastic basket, and pull from the outside vs inside. Place the container on the floor or LOWER than yourself. That’s the key. Of course if you want the color in the center of a cake to lead off this won’t work. This is my second project using cake yarns and it’s working like a charm! I’ve used a regular skein and no rolling around…can’t go far. Maybe someone else has center pull barfaphopia and this might help?🧶🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for your review! I bought some of the Fair Isle yarn in purple and really like the pattern the yarn creates, the softness, and the price. However most of the color choices involve grey as the neutral. To me that’s boring and a little depressing. Cream, black, or any other color would be a great neutral. Your yarn wall is wonderful, have you ever discussed what shelves you chose and how your yarns are organized? Thanks🎃🎃🎃
I have that yarn stand my son got it for me for Christmas I really like it but it won't tighten down so it's unless to me He got it from Michael's so I'm very disappointed in it. I love your hat and the colors are beautiful. Thank You Juan Hugs
I use a yarn bag. I put the skein of yarn in the bag, I pull the yarn up through one of the holes at the top. I have no issue with my yarn when I use this bag.
I too luv luv Prym hooks….. but I’m a yarn snob cause do not like RH super saver….I only really like non-pill or premium acrylic.. blends with cotton or wool are very nice
You could maybe do three baby doll projects with this yarn. I am a lefty maker as well. I am somewhat ambidextrous. I do lke the Michael's white yarn stand.
I will pull from the inside no matter what, or I will be chasing that ball all over...I made a had on my sentro machine with the fair Isle yarn and it turn out so pretty... I haven't crochet with it yet ...but ivam planning to make a cowl or maybe a crop cardigan, haven decide yet....
I’m curious how you pick yarn for a wearable vs an afghan. I’m also intrigued by how yarn is spun - chain spun, s or z and how you know which yarn works best for what kind of project. Any advice?
Hello Juan I made a scarf from u just rescently like your style I learned about you from bag o day love Chrystal learn a lot from both of you thanks for sharing ❤👍😁
I bought two different colors of supposed to be the same weight one gray on red mine where solid colors . Plan make a shawl with a edging on gray and body of red. Problem is when you put them together they don’t look right cause gray yarn much thicker looking! So sad!
I Love The Way You Crochet you Do It Sooo Beautifully 👀♥️🌹

My daughter's favorite colour is purple 💜 as well. She loves your show. ❤❤

Hi, Juan! Happy Sunday!❤🎉❤
Hi friend!! 🎉😊
Thanks for another great video. Juan, do you ever sleep?! Take best care. See you on the next one.
Thank you for sharing. From projects I've done with fair isle yarn, it comes out a bit better knitted than crocheted. Just my opinion of course.😊
Hi Juan! I just noticed that you’re a lefty. Me, too. Crochet, knit, and most everything else left-handed.
I am ambidextrous enough to make the transition from one to the other pretty easy, though. It’s nice to see another lefty maker!
Thank you for reviewing the yarn. It helps to know how the yarn works before purchasing.💜🩵
Love what you're doing keep it up.

Here because of Crystal!
Me too!

I thank all of you for being here!! I really appreciate it!
Me too. And I’ve been enjoying your videos! So…..pink is your favorite color….. just teasing. 😊
Me too!!!
Okay, now I have to have some Fair Isle. Thanks for the comparison, Juan. Once worked up, some yarns, no matter the weight, are different from one another so the finished product may not be what was expected. Good to know :)

Congratulations on passing the 7 thousand mark and for the review of the wool ease fair isle yarn. I too love all things purple and shiny.
Thank you!! 🙏
The more I watch you, the more I like purple!!!!

I'm just started knitting a hat with the Fair Isle yarn, I do crochet as well, but knitting this one
Thanks so much for the review and comparison.
Great video. Thanks for your thoughts. I just bought my first ball and am knitting up a hat. I love the purple too! Wish my Walmart carried it. I might have to order it from Lionbrand. LOL

I love lion brand yarns. That purple wool ease is devine.
Hi, Juan! I really like your beanie! Could you please do a tutorial for a beanie/watch cap? Have a fabulous day! 💖🧶🍁🎃
Love your yarn stand. Plus the lion yarn is a pretty colour. Enjoy your videos.
Hi, really enjoying your channel and content, love the way you go off course when explaining/comparing yarn. I think you are the only left handed crocheter I've seen on RUclips ❤ I have a lot of variegated yarns in my stash, blues and reds are my go to but do have others.
My name is Jo and I'm also a yarn addict. Love what you do and just keep on doing it 🫶❤️🧶
Hi Juan. I love that you hold up 2 side by side and compare them. I cant stand thin yarn. So the thickerer the better! Thanks!
You’re so welcome! I’m glad you like that! Definitely something I plan on continuing to do!
I just have to jump on here and say that you have the most GORGEOUS handwriting I have seen in a really long time! ❤❤❤
Thanks for the review Juan. Blessings
Love the fair isle yarn. I knit two hats and one cowl from one skein in the ice gray color. I ordered more from Joann’s at a great price.
Prym hooks are the best!! And purple 💜
Hey Juan! I just got my fair isle yarn in the mail today!!!! I absolutely love this yarn.
💜💯 that yarn color is beautiful. I don't use wool. Thanks for the info. Have a good one 💜
Hi Juan! New here. I love the Lion Faire Isle! I’ve crocheted a cowl and hat from BOD channel. They worked up beautifully.
I’m admiring your wall. And here I thought I have a lot of yarn in my collection. I must admit that I’m not as tidy, but I’m working on it!

Thank you for your kind words!! Wishing you the same!
I cake my yarn and it jumps all over the place. Now I know how to position it to unroll properly. Thanks so much Juan.
So happy you decided to put yourself out there. You are very knowledgeable and enjoyable! I’m definitely watching all your videos. Hope you have a fabulous week!! 🧶💜
Great tips ! ❤
I use an empty laundry basket for holding my yarn skeins, they can roll as much as they want and they have never jumped out 😂
Thanks. Your commrnts are so helpful.
Great review! Thank you for doing the side-by-side comparison. Keep them coming !!!!
Juantastic does another great video. You are a better teacher than I am. Thank you for your time and experience. I am so happy you decided to put yourself on RUclips. JUANERFUL
Aww! Thank you so much!! I’m a work in progress, so any positive reinforcement is greatly welcomed!!😂
That looks like a pretty yarn. I may have to check it out soon. Thank you for the review of this yarn.
That purple yarn is very pretty
I love that yarn holder. I believe I can make that.
Thank you Juan, for all the information, I love to learn, especially from some one who knows, its never let me down. Have a good week, kind regards from London
That Fair aisle yarn looked pretty, I’m a purple geek also
Hi Jaun, Enjoying your channel!

Killing me softly and gotta go get it! Can’t wait for the project and hopefully a tutorial?
How scientific to wrap the yarn around a ruler for comparison. Thank you for the review and the knowledge
I got this yarn when it first came out and love it. It works up beautifully crochet but I think it’s design is more for a knitting project. Nonetheless it’s a gorgeous, well worth yarn!! 💜 thanks for another great review 👍🏻

I love this yarn, i'm currently working on a cardigan.
So good, learnt something from this podcast too. Thank you for working a sample much appreciated. Loved it all❣️
Love that yarn .my favorite is teal or peach. But that purple is beautiful
Wool Ease is my one and only yarn for cabin socks and mittens. But, slipper socks and mittens are pretty much the only things I knit. 😂
Yeah, they have the stand available in the my Michaels store with 40% off!!! Thank you!! Pretty handwriting too!
Thank you!!
OMG you are a fast crocheter! It was eye opening to see how you do it.
Thanks for your review! I bought some of the Fair Isle yarn in purple and really like the pattern the yarn creates, the softness, and the price.

If there inside pull I use a 2 liter pop bottle,by cutting the bottom put the yarn and put the bottom back on
I use a yarn bag. I put the skein of yarn in the bag, I pull the yarn up through one of the holes at the top. I have no issue with my yarn when I use this bag.
I too luv luv Prym hooks…..
but I’m a yarn snob cause do not like RH super saver….I only really like non-pill or premium acrylic.. blends with cotton or wool are very nice
Really like the yarn. Its very pretty in the purple
I have used Wool Ease before. It is very nice.
You could maybe do three baby doll projects with this yarn. I am a lefty maker as well. I am somewhat ambidextrous. I do lke the Michael's white yarn stand.
Nice video !! TY
I like Prym hooks too
Wool fills out when washed, so it may feel softer and plumper after a soak
If you don't have a yarn stand use a plastic bucket with a lid drill holes in the lid works great
I will pull from the inside no matter what, or I will be chasing that ball all over...I made a had on my sentro machine with the fair Isle yarn and it turn out so pretty... I haven't crochet with it yet ...but ivam planning to make a cowl or maybe a crop cardigan, haven decide yet....
Hey hey
Some of the inside pulls you can’t find the center. Do you have a hint on how to,do?
I’m curious how you pick yarn for a wearable vs an afghan. I’m also intrigued by how yarn is spun - chain spun, s or z and how you know which yarn works best for what kind of project. Any advice?

Here because of Crystal b.o.d.
You could have gotten that for 6.99 from lionbrand. It's on sale now at 30% off.
