Saaame! I just used what I had. Lol. I made my own handles with hot glue, too. If you catch it while it's warm enough, you can mold the grip to your hand with a tight squeeze!
I really appreciate everyone in the comments suggesting DIY alternatives. No hate to the creator of this video, but I always love when people in the crochet community come together to suggest free/cheap alternative, whether for crafters who are on the more broke side of things or are just trying to be more sustainable. It’s one of the reasons I love this community :)
@@juzahyodo3706my first crochet hook was a 5 mm plastic one from a crochet kit 😀 the yarn was like 100% wool (knitters yarn) and was the size as your average acrylic yarn. it needed a 3 - 2.5 hook
When you have your yarn in that cake take the inner end of the yarn. That way you do not need a yand holder, it stays put while it unravels from the inside.
I don't like pulling from the inside because it makes a tangled mess after it collapses and you have to keep rewinding it to make it smaller. Pulling from the outside is much neater and you don't have to keep winding it. Winding it makes it easier to store and sometimes the skein itself is too tall to be put on the yarn holder and you need to rewind it in sections so it fits better.
There is a hand cranked version of the electric yarn winder that I found that is $20 on Amazon. The hand cranking isn’t much harder than the electric version, as the crank is designed easy to use and one full crank spins the yarn around about 5-10 times. The only downside is the clip thing that holds it to the table MUST be used on stone countertops of some type, as I had to learn the hard way it will eat into wood. It also is very squeaky, even though it’s well oiled. Mine has served me well though, and is 100x easier than making balls of yarn entirely by hand
those amigurumi sticks are just knitting needles.. as a knitter and a crocheter for years.. I can do without the sticks cause i like having as much space as possible for my knits.. -but the yarn winder, is what I am keeping my eyes on.
I gasped and said “I need it!” to every item in this video, but when I tell you I melted from the cuteness of the amigurumi sticks?!? I’ve never seen or heard of anything like that but it’s such a perfect idea and they look ADORABLE?!? (They made me think of the little decorative pick things you can find in bento box kits for decorating your food, but for plushies! 🥰)
I really wanna get into crocheting, I watched my grandma do it all the time as a kid and never thought to ask her to teach me. She’s passed now so I can’t learn from her anymore. But I’d love to learn to slightly continue it for her if that makes sense
If you can afford it, the Woobles taught me how to crochet. I learned my base skills and then used free tutorials to build on my skills. The price of a Wooble includes access to help from an experienced crocheter and a help forum. You can check out craft stores near you. Some hold classes. Cultural centres sometimes hold classes too. I understand wanting to preserve your grandmother's legacy. I do the same thing. Good luck!
been crocheting over 6 years, you don’t need any of this except a yarn winder (manual works just as well), and the amigurumi sticks might be nice if you crochet mostly amigurumi. What you DO need is plain metal hair clips. I write the name/brand/weight on the clips and use them to secure the loose end of the yarn to the yarn cake so that the cakes don’t unravel in whatever bag or bin they end up in
I have psoriatic arthritis and severe carpal tunnel. Hand winding is no longer an option for me. Not everyone is physically capable to hand wind be it due to health or coordination reasons.
if you cant get a yarn holder, but struggle with the yarn always rolling around, you should try getting the yarn beginning from the middle. one end is outside, the other is inside. you can get it out through one of the two holes. its usually a little clump, but not knotted
I am starting to crochet to make blankets and plushy for me and I never knew that they made things so thank you for giving this out to everyone if they also want to crochet❤
As someone who has tried and is still failing (and possibly giving up) to do the starting crochet stitch, I have no use for these but I still want them all
i just got a yarn winder and i feel like it winds it up faster than i could by hand. worth it because im making a blanket. so im going to go through a lot of yarn and use up alot of yarn . i suspect. i also havent used my yarn for ages. so im glad to finally use it for something. :D so ill have alot of yarn to wind up. thankfully i wont have to do it by hand anymore. next is a yarn holder. oh and i just got some stich markers for my blanket to remind my self to add the extra stitch that i kept dropping. and was ending up witha tree like blanket. took most of it out. now its looking like a blanket. :D i have a ways to go through to get it back to the amount i was at. sometimes you win some and lose some.
My yarn holder is basically just a grocery plastic bag where I put the yarn and tie the strings and let the yarn out from little opening from the side and just let it roll on the floor 😂 keeps the yarn clean too if you crochet outside
Keep in mind to those mentioning DIY alternatives that those are wonderful but it’s not pointless that she got these items either. I’d say if you are a beginner or not super into it or just have no preference regarding aesthetics or are on a tight budget, go for the DIY alternatives. But if crochet is a passion or your main hobby, or a business or you simply have the money to responsibly purchase these items, go for it! It’s sort of like buying decor for a house that’s both functional and aesthetic. I wanted to think of a better specific example to compare but I’m blanking rn if I think of one I’ll add it later lol
I think all those things are unnecessary but they help out if you don’t have much time. I know how to knit and crochet and I do everything by myself but maybe that yarn winder would help me out, but a manual version might be cheaper
I need to get an electric one. I have a manual one which doesn’t work the best as it was cheap and it takes time to wind it up with the handle when the electric one seems so nice.
![Nuts [YTP] | A Moana parody](/img/1.gif)
the way i gasped when i saw the hooks?? they’re so pretty!!
ikr :)))
I’m in love with them too 😍
They might be pretty, but more pretty useless. You want hooks that are ergonomically formed and are not slippery in your hands.
Not me thinking u said books
@@wallyjansen898they wouldnt be showing the hooks off to us if they weren’t ergonomic and user friendly.
For the yarn holder, I just use a kitchen roll holder lmao. It’s pretty much the exact same product :)
Percent and probably cheaper!
I do this, too. 6 bucks at TjMaxx and only 1.25 at the Dollar Tree!
Nice!!
Smart!!! 😊😊😊
Saaame! I just used what I had. Lol. I made my own handles with hot glue, too. If you catch it while it's warm enough, you can mold the grip to your hand with a tight squeeze!
4 Things I Don’t Regret Buying As A Crocheter:
1- Crochet Hook
2- Yarn
3- Instructions
4- Pizza because I was hungry after thinking about work
😂😂😂
I don’t even use a hook, u just use my finger lol
Fr. This is all just consumerism. We don't even need to buy instructions because it's all on yt! Just a hook, yarn, and scissors
Do u do flat work cause I’m pretty sure in both amigurumi and flat work u need darning needles and omg stitch markers r a lifesaver
@@IraFirodia I just use hair clips as stitch markers and the crochet hook for darning (if I can't use it I just use normal needles)

Is no one talking about the adorable amigurumi buneary?? So cute she used to be my fav Pokémon!
Also yes the crochet tools look really useful!
Ik it’s so cuteee
I was looking to see if I was the only one, it’s literally so adorable!!!!!!
Finally someone noticed buneary
what's the stitch called for the white cotton bit?
Ooo I could totally upcycle some chopsticks instead of buying amigurumi sticks
True but they might not be as long as amigurumi sticks 😅
I use toothpicks and they work just fine lol
Or knitting needles
i feel like the hooks would kill my hands😭
I’ve never had a problem with them! They are no different than any other hooks with grips and they are adorable 🥰 but that’s my experience :)
@@HookwinkedFox oh fair enough 🥰
being affordable and comfortable is the way to go! (plus if it’s cute or smth you like :D)
Same... I have to use those unbranded plastic hooks you find on Temu
@@juzahyodo3706my first crochet hook was a 5 mm plastic one from a crochet kit 😀 the yarn was like 100% wool (knitters yarn) and was the size as your average acrylic yarn. it needed a 3 - 2.5 hook

thank you! 😂 makes no sense to make it into a cake and then don't use it like it's supposed to be used lmao...waste of time and money.
Whenever I wind a cake on my £8 winder, I reattach the yarn label, but vertically so that the label "locks" the outer cake from unravelling.
@@Emerald.She-Ra wait that's SO smart!!!

I find that gluing some silicone coasters I had lying around solves the issue with the clamp. Hope this helps someone.
Hand cranked all the way! With how many knots or splits I come across while winding, I can't imagine trying to yurn the winder on and off so much.
those amigurumi sticks are just knitting needles.. as a knitter and a crocheter for years.. I can do without the sticks cause i like having as much space as possible for my knits.. -but the yarn winder, is what I am keeping my eyes on.
When I first learned how to crochet in 2011 (I was 16), it was not nearly as cool as it is now! So nice to see how popular it has become!
Im surprised you havent blown up yet! Your crochet work is stunning!
Aww thank you so much! It means a lot 🥹
i was actually considering the yarn holder a few months ago… then i discovered the center pull 😂😂
I gasped and said “I need it!” to every item in this video, but when I tell you I melted from the cuteness of the amigurumi sticks?!? I’ve never seen or heard of anything like that but it’s such a perfect idea and they look ADORABLE?!? (They made me think of the little decorative pick things you can find in bento box kits for decorating your food, but for plushies! 🥰)
Knitting needles, shes misusing knitting needles
@ no. She’s really not. Google is your friend and it’s free! 💖
OMG I LOVE THAT BUNEARY!
I really wanna get into crocheting, I watched my grandma do it all the time as a kid and never thought to ask her to teach me. She’s passed now so I can’t learn from her anymore. But I’d love to learn to slightly continue it for her if that makes sense
Look up some tutorials and get yourself a regular size 4 yarn and a H size crochet hook or 5mm and learn from that. Start simple and build up

Start with The Woobles kit. Has everything you need for a beginner crocheter.

I've been under a rock, of all the crochet content I watch which is alot never seen an electric yarn winder. Of course I need one.
I literally love the Woobles🦊
Basically these are the things you don't need.👏🏻 Thankyou so much for sharing this
The plushies you make are so cute it made me finally realize all the hype or crocheting
I definitely need the yarn winder and yarn holder!
That last one was amazing!!
I have 1 and 4, I love using them it truly makes crocheting so much easier
Omg those hooks are adorable thank you so much for this vid I will make sure to get all of this Xx❤
In my opinion rolling your own yarn with your hands builds character and is a nice way to work your wrist s!!
I have psoriatic arthritis and severe carpal tunnel. Hand winding is no longer an option for me. Not everyone is physically capable to hand wind be it due to health or coordination reasons.
The wooble tin in the background is fire
i was going to mention that! i just finished my first wooble and i am ready to keep crocheting!
I LOVE LITTLE GEMS SHE IS SO UNDERRATED
I am getting that yarn spinner for Christmas!! 🎄🎄🎄
The way i need it all. Omg the yarn holder
I have the same yarn holder it’s seriously SUCH a lifesaver. I have ocd about my yarn touching the floor and it’s perfect lol. I’m in love with it.
You can use crochet hooks as the amigurumi sticks! I use the smaller ones to pin items in place. :)
The yarn holder is such a game changer. The magnet makes it spin with basically no friction, so you don't have to yank every few stitches
I had no reason for wanting an electric yarn winder but then you showed that magnetic yarn holder and now I’m sold on both💗
Those hooks are gorgeous ❤😊
if you cant get a yarn holder, but struggle with the yarn always rolling around, you should try getting the yarn beginning from the middle. one end is outside, the other is inside. you can get it out through one of the two holes. its usually a little clump, but not knotted
Omg I NEED THE YARN HOLDER❤❤
Look up magnetic yarn holder on Amazon! 💕💕
❤ the yarn holder
You can also use knitting stick as a amigurumi stick
Yoooo that electric ball winder 😍😍 that would save my poor hands….. 🤣 I need that thing in my life!
I am starting to crochet to make blankets and plushy for me and I never knew that they made things so thank you for giving this out to everyone if they also want to crochet❤
i knit and the first one and last would be PERFECT for me!😍
You have a new sub
Omg TY 😊 🙏 💓
Nice holder 👍🏼
That buneary is beautiful
Thank you! I’m working on writing the pattern for it :)
I want the last item! I love how it moves way better than a paper towel holder
The amigurumi sticks, im probs gonna use them to knit lol
I need all of them except for 3 bc my hooks pretty and shiny 😇
Im ordering the amigurumi hooks and wearing them in my hair. 😂 so adorable ❤
I need a yarn holder 😅
My biggest flex is that i can make a yarn cake that looks machine made without a machine 🦾
As someone who has tried and is still failing (and possibly giving up) to do the starting crochet stitch, I have no use for these but I still want them all
Why is RUclips recommending me crocheting videos, i don’t even crochet😂 i guess it’s a sign to start crocheting🤔
Do it! Welcome to the next amazing era of your LIIIIIFE. lol. Seriously tho.
You should try! It'll be so fun
That's how I started 😂
You should it’s so fun ❤
as someone who just started, YES you should
This is my SIGN!! I want to do crochet SO BAD!! I’m definitely doing it now😂
UGH I LOVE THAT YARN HOLDER😫🙏
Gonna need that yarn holder and yarn winder asap
I put my yarn in a bowl on the floor : D , it can spin as it unwinds all it wants it doesnt roll away
Thanks for the ideas 😃
Me and my mum (im 14) get s plain hook and get some claye and design our own hooks😊
Is no one gonna talk abt how the yarn holder is floating? That’s awesome!
It’s magnetic! So cool and so easy to use! 😍
i just got a yarn winder and i feel like it winds it up faster than i could by hand. worth it because im making a blanket. so im going to go through a lot of yarn and use up alot of yarn . i suspect. i also havent used my yarn for ages. so im glad to finally use it for something. :D so ill have alot of yarn to wind up. thankfully i wont have to do it by hand anymore. next is a yarn holder. oh and i just got some stich markers for my blanket to remind my self to add the extra stitch that i kept dropping. and was ending up witha tree like blanket. took most of it out. now its looking like a blanket. :D i have a ways to go through to get it back to the amount i was at. sometimes you win some and lose some.
I love the woobles tin (ps yeah I recognize the tin so what also everything is also super cool)
I got myself a yarn winder however it's not electric, but i wouldn't trade it
I didn’t know an electric yarn winder was a thing, but I have just ordered one so thank you 😭💗
I don't regret sticking my crochet hook through a tennis ball in an effort for ergonomics
the crochet hooks are adorable
A cute Lopunny ❤ !
Those crochet hooks would be great for arthritic hands!
BUNEARY CROCHET DOLL OMGGGG that’s so cute
the way I've only done one chain but I already wanna order all of this
I need all of those
That is so cute
I didn't even know amigurumi sticks existed, I just used my stitch markers to hold them together until it's time to sew
Amigurumi sticks ❌
Knitting needles ✅
I have the same yarn holder.I got it for christmas
My yarn holder is basically just a grocery plastic bag where I put the yarn and tie the strings and let the yarn out from little opening from the side and just let it roll on the floor 😂 keeps the yarn clean too if you crochet outside
if you have a knot and you have to rush to stop the electric winder tho 😭
Yard holder. Wow. So much better than a coffee can.😂
Can’t forget the actual yarn. To crotchet
The headphones u have on the bottom shelf thing of ur desk are literally the headphones im wearing rn lol..
omg i need those hooks and that yarn holder
Omg the last one?? Im buying that rn😭❤️
There’s an electric version! Man I been self winding for months for hours to make cakes, to point of arm tiredness and soreness. 😂
Hahah at least you get an arm workout! 😂 but yesss my life became so much easier with an electric one
Now i want these
I need all of them
Keep in mind to those mentioning DIY alternatives that those are wonderful but it’s not pointless that she got these items either.

Girl i saw that woobles tin and was like im gonna like you
Heres a hack:if u dont want ur yarn tail 2 roll away take the yarn from the center of the ball hope this helps😊😊❤
im a beginner crocheter and i uust got yarn and hooks like 2 secs ago and im learning
Those hooks would hurt my hands lol those clouds are 3D. The only thing I would say may be needed is the wonder, but it doesn't need to be electric.
I think all those things are unnecessary but they help out if you don’t have much time. I know how to knit and crochet and I do everything by myself but maybe that yarn winder would help me out, but a manual version might be cheaper
They're 100% cheaper. Mine cost me $15, and I got it 7 years ago. Still works fine. It's a hand cranked one.
That buneary plus is everything okay in this world
I need to get an electric one. I have a manual one which doesn’t work the best as it was cheap and it takes time to wind it up with the handle when the electric one seems so nice.
The yarn winder is around $50 US btw
I think I might get that soon 😂
Hahah it’s the best $50 I’ve spent 😂❤
In my country they are double 😭😭
Where can I find that yarn winder?
I need some of these just for knitting😂
One day, one day 🤞🤞
I was in shock when i didnt see yarn
I was expecting a “Yarn obviously! How do you crochet without yarn!”
girl we wind the yarn so we dont have to use the yarn HOLDER!!! center pull!!
the last item is the only thing I can see being the actual need 😂
