Hey guys, I use the Bernat blanket for my big dragons, dinos, axolotls and alligators. I grabbed mine at $2.99 at Ollie's. I also worked out a deal with the manager. If I untangle the buggy; I got a discount. Less than $2 per skein or donut. Yes, I grabbed all they had. I also found a book that gives a pattern for a crochet bowling set. Thanks for sharing. Take care ❤
It’s been a long time since I went to our Ollie’s here . But I bout the crochet amigurimi of Rudolph the red nose reindeer and Disney’s frozen years ago. You have inspired me to go see what the store by me has now. ☺️🥰
Hi Glenda & Cody. Thanks for the tour of the bargain yarn bins at your local Ollie's store. I liked the Sesame Street & Autumn O'GO colorways yarns as shown in the video. Wish there was such a store where I live. ❤️
I've bought multiple skeins of the lion hear one hat wonder seasame street yarn. $2.99 is incredible. Big Bird, Bert, Ernie, Abbie Cadabby, Count, Cookie Monster, Elmo, Oscar the Crouch. (All the grown people in my house wanted on, so they were not 1 hat wonder skeins. 😉)
It's been awhile since I have been to our store, they don't carry any crochet books. I will have to go look to see if they have any yarn. Thanks for taking us along.
I used the Black, White, and Grey to make an owl. I love it. I went to my Ollies last week the yarn section was all messed up and not much selection. I did get grover, count, and the girl.
I don't have an Ollie's anywhere by me. That's a really good deal on the blanket yarn!! Cody, you should have gotten some of that blue blanket yarn to make Wobbuffet!! I bought Pokémon Crochet, book 1, actually, truth be told, also book2 now. My grandkids love Pokémon. Thank you for taking us along!!
We are getting an Ollie's AND a Hobby Lobby in our town. I am so excited about both! I usually have to drive 30 mins to go to Hobby Lobby, and I have never been to Ollie's. We have a Big Lots in the town that has Hobby Lobby, which, in case you didn't know, Big Lots is a store that is very similar to Ollie's, but they never have yarn.
Hi Glenda! I absolutely love those Mallo cups!!! I always look for those when I visit the states! That was a great price on the yarn. I have never tried the O-Go yarns.
This looks like the same selection of yarn they have at our local Hickory ( NC) Ollies. Heading in there tomorrow to see if they have anyhting new. Wish they would get more worsted or 3 weight yarn in.
I had never even heard of this store before. I did a Google search and it looks like there is one less than an hour from my house...next time I am feeling like going for a drive I may have to go check them out 😊
cool I’ve never heard of that store I live in Calif I’m gonna tell my daughter to check and see if we have any close by 🤔thank you guys for your tour 👍🩷💙
Ive made a super comfy knit sweater for hubby out of the Ogo Bernat blanket yarn. Its fluffy light like a cloud, cozy and cuddly. Knits up fast because it's so thick, but it's not super heavy in weight like most bulky yarns are. Lots of pretty colors. With the Ogos you can get lots of different colors, separate them out, and combine in stripes however you want. The Ogos have the same amount of yarn as the big skein of it. A whole sweater for $4.99 depending on size. I got the free pattern on ravelry. There are a few different ones made of the blanket yarn. I'm going to make some of those wearable blankets for family with more of the Ogos I got at Ollies. Yours has quite a pretty selection of colors. Mine only had 4 choices of ogos, but with 3 colors on each, that was a large selection of colors over all. I need to use up more of the bunch I got a few months ago before I can go again. 😂 I have a very large storage tote full.
Hi Glenda Cody thanks for sharing your time in your store Ollie's I live in California so I'm never heard of Ollie's before but it does remind me of Big Lots it is a discount home and they have very good prices. Thanks again my home.
Almost all of those Ogos there are Bernat Blanket Yarn, same amount as the skeins. If you like Bernat Blanket Yarn, that's those Ogos. Mega deal. :) Thers about 30 different colors counting each of the ones on the Ogos. Multiple shades of most of the colors, too. Tons of mix and match possibilities there. I'm drooling seeing all those colors. Lol.
I love the blanket ogo yarns. I use them to make amigurumi. I have made a lot from the book MAMA MADE MINIS Knotted Loveys. They are easy to follow and work up quickly. I have been looking for the brown. I will check out another Ollie's.
Wow, I wish we had anything like this around here. What a great bargain store. We don’t have any within 4 hours, lol. I love the Sesame Street. I would like to get a set of all just to save. I even went to search where I could find one but it is at least 5 states away. Lol
What? Ollie’s has yarn?😮? All I’ve ever bought was books, snacks, and towels! So much for the video I watched yesterday about intentionally only buying yarn for projects I knew I’d be making 😂
Bernat Blanket are usually $12.99 so at $5.00 that is a great price. And the Sasame street lovey yarn from Lion Brand sells at $ 6.99. Another fun trip! thank you for sharing! My Ollie's is not as big...they have a pretty dismal selection of yarn at the moment.
We have an Ollie’s in town here. But they pretty much carry reject yarn, that didn’t go over well in other stores. Or colors that other stores had an over abundance of. LOTS of blue here too.
Hi Grandma from Ky. Love all the amazing yarn You found and had a question because You were talking about Granny squares. Have You seen the box of Crochet Granny Square Patterns? I believe there's 50 different granny patterns in the box. Would that be a fun challenge???
I took 6 rounds that 3 toned blue O'go, broke it up, and made basic color blocks into a bed runner/single wide blanket for my King bed because it gets cold here some winters and my string bean of a husband usually has his toes peek out. I also took 2 rounds of the "rose gold" one, made slippers for hubby with the black chunk, and the rest got used to make a puppy toy basket because she strings toys all over like a toddler.😂
Those tans and browns people who make amigurumi would use those for body colors and certain animals. And the Sesame Street yarns.. crystal with bagoday has a blanket pattern using all those characters for a cute baby toddler blanket 😉
We’re getting a new Ollies in my town. It opens tomorrow. I’m so excited for that. I’m not a fan of that OGO yarn (if it’s the same one as what I felt in one of the Mobile AL stores).

I did the ‘untangling’ thing too & got about 10 skeins for $2 each! Great deal!
I second the books there as well. My store always has craft books, and I found a couple incredible christmas ones. To be loved forever :)
We are getting a new Ollie’s in my area opening this Thursday! Looking forward to it!
My hubby and I always buy Mallo Cups when we go to Ollies. We love them!!!
Hello from Florida Glenda and Cody 😊💖🌻! Thanks so much for taking us along shopping with Y'all 😊💖🤗🤗🤗!
Hi :) Thanks for coming!
I love shopping at Ollie's. Purchasing yarn there is so cheap and i love that.
Good tips for choosing craft books for ideas.❤
Thanks for taking a shopping with you. My adult children think i'm crazy for wanting to go to Ollies but you never can tell what you'll find there😊
So much fun to go with you to see Ollie’s yarn bargains.
Thank you!
I wish I had an Ollie's near me. I would love the O'Gos.
I love Ollie and go whenever I can. Thanks for sharing. Hugs to you and Cody
This was fun. I wish I had a Ollies in my area. Maybe someday I will. 😊
I love Mallo Cups too Glenda! Thank you for the tour Glenda and Cody!
That gray and blue one would jazz up with a nice red or hot pink.
Thanks, Glenda and Cory, for the look into Ollie's. I wish there was one near me. Great prices on yarn.
I wish the Ollie's I can get to had yarn. Everytime I go there's never any.🤷🏼♀️ At least you got some great deals. 🤗
The sesame street doll in pink was Abby cadabby.

It’s been a long time since I went to our Ollie’s here . But I bout the crochet amigurimi of Rudolph the red nose reindeer and Disney’s frozen years ago. You have inspired me to go see what the store by me has now. ☺️🥰

I’d love to have a store like this in my area of Ontario. 😍
Good morning Glenda and Cody! We don't have an Ollie's unfortunately. Thanks for the shopping trip ❤

Thanks for sharing your trip to Ollie's with us.
Herschners has some Bernat Blanket yarn for $5.00 and $6.00 on line !!!!!
I had never even heard of this store before. I did a Google search and it looks like there is one less than an hour from my house...next time I am feeling like going for a drive I may have to go check them out 😊
cool I’ve never heard of that store I live in Calif I’m gonna tell my daughter to check and see if we have any close by 🤔thank you guys for your tour 👍🩷💙
Wow! I wish they had Ollie's here in Canada. I paid a fortune for my Sesame Street hat kits (at least $8-$10 Canadian each)
My Ollies has no yarn and haven't had any craft books for a long time. They don't even have the variety of devotional books and Bibles either.
Our Allies didn't have any yarn last time I was there ...I will have to check again
I’m in the Southwest - have never been into an Ollie’s, we don’t have any of these out here. Fun shop :)
I need some more the sesame Street yarn .I do have some of it , but Bert and Ernie yarn .
Ive made a super comfy knit sweater for hubby out of the Ogo Bernat blanket yarn. Its fluffy light like a cloud, cozy and cuddly.

I live in Oregon and never heard of Ollie's until you went. ☮️🌎🌲
I finally found a Ollies store It is about a half hour away. Have not had a chance to go yet
I got the Sesame Street little gurl for my granddaughter.
Wow, I wish we had anything like this around here. What a great bargain store. We don’t have any within 4 hours, lol. I love the Sesame Street. I would like to get a set of all just to save. I even went to search where I could find one but it is at least 5 states away. Lol
Those Sesame Street lovelies are so cute.
No Ollies in my part of the country. Hadn’t heard of it before
HI GLENDA & CODY, NOW I HAVE TO CHECK OUT MY OLLIE'S. I LIKE MALLO CUPS ALSO. THANK YOU FOR SHARING ❤🥰💓
Idk where yall live but I haven’t ever saw yarn at out 😊ollies
I need some more yarn at ollie's store sesame Street and Burnett yarns .
Omg love sesame street
Can't get it in New Zealand so a friend sent some from Australia
I always forget about Ollie’s, I’ll have to run over there. Thanks!
Gray is my favorite color ❤
What? Ollie’s has yarn?😮? All I’ve ever bought was books, snacks, and towels! So much for the video I watched yesterday about intentionally only buying yarn for projects I knew I’d be making 😂
No Ollie's close to me, but I just got the Herrschners catalogue. They have Bernat blanket 150g for $2.00. Other Bernat yarns cheap, too.
I love the O Go yarn and it's not available most places anymore
stay safe
Nice prices. Big skeins 👍👍
Bernat Blanket are usually $12.99 so at $5.00 that is a great price. And the Sasame street lovey yarn from Lion Brand sells at $ 6.99. Another fun trip! thank you for sharing! My Ollie's is not as big...they have a pretty dismal selection of yarn at the moment.
Yay!! Glad y’all found y’all some Mallow Cups!😊 Love Ollie’s. I got a bunch of OGO Bernat blanket at ours in Houston.
If you sign up for their club, you occasionally get a 15% off coupon.
Yay!!!!🎉
We have an Ollie’s in town here. But they pretty much carry reject yarn, that didn’t go over well in other stores. Or colors that other stores had an over abundance of. LOTS of blue here too.
I just went to my Ollie’s and there were practically NONE. So sad. I really wanted to get some blanket yarn for making stuffies. 😢
I just found out that we have an Ollie's store in Connecticut. I'll have to go and check it out.
I made dog blanket mats out of those Ogo’s blanket yarn. Yea not much to chose color wise. But dogs do not mind as long as it is soft!
My Ollies never has yarn.
Unfortunately we don't have an Ollie's store here, but I enjoyed going along to yours.
That is my local Ollie’s
Hi Grandma from Ky. Love all the amazing yarn You found and had a question because You were talking about Granny squares. Have You seen the box of Crochet Granny Square Patterns? I believe there's 50 different granny patterns in the box. Would that be a fun challenge???
Abby Cadabbie!

I also took 2 rounds of the "rose gold" one, made slippers for hubby with the black chunk, and the rest got used to make a puppy toy basket because she strings toys all over like a toddler.😂
I’ve never used that yarn. I like 4 or 5 ply, but it looks nice
Those tans and browns people who make amigurumi would use those for body colors and certain animals.
And the Sesame Street yarns.. crystal with bagoday has a blanket pattern using all those characters for a cute baby toddler blanket 😉
Did they make a Count hat? I’d love to make one of those to wear myself! I wish we had an Ollie’s!
I live in California. We don’t have Ollie’s. ☹️ It looks like the closest ones are in Texas and Oklahoma.
I don’t have a Ollie’s in my city, I have to drive a ways to it and last time my daughter and I went they didn’t have anything but junk.
Look for the Mister Rogers amagarumi kit for $5
I wonder if they would hire me to keep that yarn section organized? It drives me crazy lol
I might have to go to Ollies again to look for yarn.
💜
We’re getting a new Ollies in my town. It opens tomorrow. I’m so excited for that. I’m not a fan of that OGO yarn (if it’s the same one as what I felt in one of the Mobile AL stores).
I never knew Ollie's had yarn.
Good morning
