I'm glad you tried the yarn. One thing I noticed is that the fiber is not always as advertised. You have to really read it. I REALLY love their Angora blend with the speckled look. So nice!
Good to know!
The glow in the webbing of a spread wing on a dragon amagurumi
That would be so cool!
I’m making a huge dragon floor plushie, and doing the veins in the wings with glow yarn would be so cool…..
Now I have a reason to buy it 🙃
I order from Temu all the time I’m so excited you reviewed their yarn, yay! I’m going to order some!!
I'm happy to hear that. I've been afraid to order from Temu, someone somewhere told me it was a scam. I'm glad to hear it's safe.
On RUclips I see ads for yarn & it's so inexpensive.😊
I ordered cashmere yarn from temu and I was very impressed with the quality and colors. I bought 10 skeins for $38.50. I will buy from them again
I'm so glad you had a positive experience!
Thanks for a great review! I can't believe how bright the glow in the dark yarn was!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! That one blew my mind forsure.
Thanks for doing this! I loved it. And yes totally would love to see the plant holder video.
Yay thank you! I will add that to my list!
I just found you and so glad I did. I loved this review. I've ordered TEMU stuff and it's a hit or miss, but just read the reviews. This is WONDERFUL reviewing their yarns! Thank you so much! Great voice, easy to listen to and I laughed along with you! I'm definitely ordering some yarn now, specifically the glow in the dark! How fun!!! Thank you again from a new fan and follower!
Thank you!! So glad you are here!!
Ashley, thank you for sharing this with us. I haven't checked out Temu yet. Now I need to.
I’m so glad you liked it!
Thank you for the video. I have purchased a couple of temus yarn but not the ones you reviewed. I have been looking at the milk cotton and the (blanket) cotton yarns. Now that I have seen them I will be buying them. Again, thank you for all your help. Jackie
I’m so glad you found it helpful! I bought more today 😂😂
Thanks for the review ! I was so doubting ordering from them but they do have the colours i want 😊
I have never used Bernat home decore yarn , but I like the type of yarn it is, kinda corded. Thank you for your comparisons, i will have to keep that yarn in mind.
Thank you so much for the review. I ordered my first order 2 wks ago. I bought the glow in the dark yarn, i have not tried it yet , i hope glows well. I love that yellow yarn you got. I did buy a 100 cotton yarn no name but it comparable to the premier cotton yarn ?? Maybe. I love the mat you git for your daughter for painting , I will have to get me one. I love the milky yarn you got as well. I might would try a tank top with that cashmer milky yarn. I bought a cover for my Kitchen aid mixer , love it. I have purchased afew tank tops and tgey are so super soft and comfy teue to size. I have got just acouple things that was not to my standard but over all im happy with everything I have ordered. Im new to your channel as of Sat morning. Thank you. So much for your review.
Yes, please make a video on the basket or whatever you end up making!
Ah yay ok! I’m glad you like the idea!
Thank you for doing this comparison, I’ve been wondering about the Temu yarns. This was incredibly helpful 🥰🧶
You are so welcome!
I love the Glo in dark yarn. I bought and love it. Just wish it was more
I was watching this video and I was like her accent 😮 I love it also thanks for the review of temu yarn bc I didn’t want to buy if it wasn’t worth it but you make it seem like it it
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this review. I've been interested in buying from Temu but haven't pulled the trigger yet. This helped me decide to try the substitute for bernat home for sure.
It’s a really good doupe!
My experience was different the yarn I ordered had a really bad smell. I make things for charity so I couldn’t use it because smell didn’t come out with vinegar or washing it.
I have bought so much yarn from Temu! I love the chenille in 6 packs
I do appreciate that you evaluated Temu yarns which had a similar US yarn to compare each one to.
Hi Ashley, I am new today to your channel. I was really wanting to know more about the Temu yarns. I was also curious if the price was worth the yardage. I do love they offer so many colors, love the colors and the glow was strong as you mentioned. thanks so much for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
I just made my first temu order. I want to love it. I'm skeptical, but hopeful.
All the things I never knew I needed!! Lol
Haha Temu is so much fun. I love buying crap to try 😂
I got chunky yarn off temu and it is honestly the softest yarn i have ever felt and the roll was huge. I will be ordering 3 more different colors of the yarn. Honestly temu is the best or worst depending on where you live and what you are buying. In my area it arrives early by days. Yarn js common on their so it is pretty easy to find a reliable seller
What’s the exact yarn name you ordered? I’d like to try out the same one :) thanks!!
Thank you for this! Very helpful! That glow in the dark one was awesome!
Yay I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
You could make a cute little purse with that base. Kind of a drawstring pouch purse.
The cashmere and silk green yarn seems like the type they use for fancy shawls.
Yardage is a better guide ran weight as different fibers have different weights for the same yardage. Thanks for showing some Temu yarns as I've not been tempted by any yet and I've just discovered your channel 🙂❤
Your glow yarn is awesome. Mine was more of a turquoise ki nda blue yarn your was a light green color i got it out in the sun right now. Lol curious how it will look glowing.
I’d like to see how they turn out after washing. I bought some soft cotton that was nice to work with, and it looked horrible after washing one time.
Ok! I’ll try to make a reel of me washing them and post it on ig!
@@ACraftyConcept cool! Thanks! I should be smart enough to buy just one skein of a new yarn to try it out first like you did. I bought a bunch of that soft cotton that I mentioned, and now I’ll have to throw it all out because it turns out so poorly. (I didn’t find out til I’d had it too long to return it) 🤦🏻♀️ Thanks again! 💕
I had a plastic glo in the dark ball as a kid in the 70's. It was about the size of a tennis ball and hollow. I think knitting or crocheting a ball and stuffing it with fiberfill would be fun to toss around.
I just saw a knitter named Tash who knitted the brin on a hat holding the yarn together with reflective thread.
Would love to see you work up a basket with the round bottom!
Oh yay!! Ok I’ll add that to my video list!
Keep putting yarn in my cart on the Temu app and removing. Nervous to hit the button to order lol Thanks for doing this.
Haha I bought more today!!
@@ACraftyConcept awesome!!!!
Girl. You said let’s look at yarn.
Then you start pulling g out cute plant hangars and paint mats and saying things like “scootchy-scootch” and….
Well, I’m subscribed now because we think alike and I love how you speak 😅🥹🥰
I'm very skeptical of Temu. I've done some research and don't know if I trust them with my information or their intentions. Think I'd rather buy in a store here in the US.
That being said, thanks for the review! If I ever do make the plunge, i would buy the replacement for home decor yarn. 👍
Yeah it’s crazy the world we live in. I doubt any of the apps we use are “safe”
I bought yarn on Temu and I didn’t like it at all . I’m used to do Amigurumi so I’m always trying new yarn but Temu yarn felt like I was eating yarn 😂. It’s like it’s falling apart. But I’m used to lion brand yarn or Jean arts yarn .
Agree. And I refuse to go there. I'd rather buy from a country who isn't trying to kill us let alone destroy us and our loved ones. In all good conscience, I will vote with my money and not contribute to a communist country.
Would enjoy seeing how you can use the base for a basket. I have some and haven’t figured out what to do with them
Ok! I'll add that to my video list!
Nice video. Interesting yarns!
Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for doing this
Glad you enjoyed it!
For experience purposes ... right .... 😏 That's what I say too 😂😂😂
I made pillows for all my grandkids with their initial in the glow in the dark yarn.
I bet they loved those!
Do you think the Temu blanket yarn can be used to make reusable water balloons? Also material wise? I've been wanting to make those forever but where I live they barely sell blanket yarns, only a few very expensive ones.
I don’t see why not. It feels the same as blanket yarn to me. Im going to make a video washing a swatch and see how it does! I’ll share it on ig
@@ACraftyConcept You're the best, thank you!
I wish they gave yardage.
Yeah it’s a little weird. Once you get it you could measure it … the blanket yarn is the most random.
What are the shipping costs like to the USA? Is free shipping available with a certain minimum purchase amount? One reason why I don't order yarn more often from places like Ice Yarns is because the shipping is so expensive.
How much yards is the blanket yarn
I have used temu yarn ,it is very good ..
I recently picked up some acrylic yarns (DK or worsted-weight), with Chinese-language labels, at a craft supplies swap at the public library. I wonder if the person who contributed it to the swap got it from Temu?
Thanks for the review! I feel like I’m confused! I thought the blanket yarn review was 6 stitches for the yellow one & FIVE with the other one, which would obvi make it smaller? I’m a newbie so likely confused! Lol I’m just trying to figure things out and find best yarn and tools on a budget! Thank you so much! Bestest! ☺️🫶🏻🧶 Lisa
You are so welcome!
Hi, I just wanted to ask if the Temu blanket yarn would be also suitable for making plushies?
I’m a beginner at crochet and I’ve seen a lot of people use a lot of that type of yarn. Will it work?
it should!
That's actually a fairly good haul, as Temu goes.
This last one is 68% cotton, 32% nylon - 20:01
Beware on the colored yarn, I bought some back and purple ... very pretty and soft, but when I made a ball with my yarn winder, I noticed the black on my hand that kinda held the yarn while I winded... ? Never saw that happen before....
Oh weird!
Black dye is hard to set, so sounds like they used a cheaper dye process.
"meat" LOL! Uncomfortable was the perfect word for that. Also I could just listen to your videos for your voice!
I think I've seen that green yarn on some amigurumi videos.
Ooo I wonder how they worked up!
Do you know if Temu has a yarn similar to I Love This Cotton from Hobby Lobby?
mmm I don't. I just ordered a cotton though, I'll share how it goes over on IG!
I have used the milk yarn for baby blankets
I bet those are so soft!
@@ACraftyConcept yes they come out really nice just takes more
What do you use Bernat Home Decor yarn for?
I'm planning on using it for Amigurumi with a 4mm hook. It's great to crochet with for those fun little animals, creatures. It's the similar yarn that the Woobles products/kits use.
I like using it for baskets, pillows, and wall hangers
The plush yarn would be great for making plushies too.
Omgosh yes so squishy and soft!
What yarn is comparable to cotton milk yarn that I can get it here U.S.? I too loved the cotton milk feel but I really don’t want to buy from Temu…TIA!
for a newbie just starting what would be the best for amigurumi?
I would say the Bernat Home Spun dup would be the best for starting amigurumi. I do them and also use a 4mm hook so the gaps are smaller.
I love this yarn ( hobby lobby) it’s soft and not very fuzzy .
One thing I have noticed is they don’t come with the larger yardage so you have to buy more.
Yeah they seem to be pretty small
Where did you get the basket base?
Temu sell the bases
I would be nice to know what the prices are. I heard the smell is bad on other reviews.
I didn’t notice a smell. But I’d didn’t sniff them either. I think the prices change pretty often. Is there one specifically you’d like to know what I paid for it?
They smelled bad but you can let them air out for few days .
I bough few ones and I didn’t like the quality . I felt like I was eating yarn and my nose was itchy cause looks like they are falling apart 😅
Make a trick or treat bag
That silk yarn isn't real silk. I don't know what silk fiber lamp means but if it were real silk it would be drapy and you would not get stitch definition on bobbles. Silk doesn't hold it's shape well which is why it's often used for shawls and lace
Temu has cheap yarn made of plastic 😂. I bought few ones to tried and had to put them in the garbage as I like quality .
That soft green yarn isn't supposed to separate. All yarn is twisted that one is poorly twisted.
it depends on what your making. If it is like what I make keychain Pom Pom, nope, it doesn't matter.
The problem I have with Temu yarn is that the label are all written in Chinese. What is the yardage, I couldn't find that. And not enough information about the yarn itself. And are you saving money buying Temu yarn? At least I get some savings through the online Big Box yarns like JoAnnes, Michael's, etc. So, do you think you get more quality year through Temu for the money? At least, you don't have to pay shipping.
Is Temu shipped from China?
That would be my guess
It is shipped from Southern California. Long Beach area. (But I'm sure that is from a warehouse there that has received all the goods from China.)
Use your phone to translate the labels. You will be surprised 😂
Please give me the link to get Temu products!!
Everything is linked in the description!
M
Most if the retailers in Western countries, buy their yarn from China anyway.
Don’t put that cashmere silk yarn in the washing machine, you’ll ruin it
2:08 Temu has PomPom makers
Can you knit a doggie jacket?
Milk yarn is usually an arcylic knock off of pima cotton. Highly doubt it is silk. Temu is a scam. How do you think the pricing is so low. I am so disappointed in the amount of content creators suppoting Temu and what they stand for.
How is it a scam? Just read labels and figure things out.
@valack - They don’t give sufficient descriptions on most of their items. So how can you figure things out when labels are not written in English nor are there any international symbols for care instructions? They use only Metric for sizing for most of their products so unless you are well versed with that mode of measurement it is necessary to use a conversion calculator to determine an item’s size. Yes, I’ve purchased quite a few items from Temu - some are fine for what they are but much of what they sell is “dime store” cheap. Their product photographs are often manipulated to show items larger than the actual size. Certainly disingenuous especially that their goal as stated in interviews with many U.S. newspapers was to be bigger than Amazon.
@@epena2805 I guess I must be a genius because I've been able to figure out most descriptions...you have to read COMPLETE listing and read reviews
@@valackerman7519yes!! People always think things are a scam because they don’t take time to read and educate themselves 😂
Milk yarn is 20% milk fiber and 80% cotton. It isn't a knock off of anything, it's its own thing and works up amazingly well, especially for amigurumi. It's only considered acrylic due to the chemical process the milk is put through to consolidate the proteins into fiber (yes, actual milk from cows is used to make it) but it isn't actually acrylic in the same sense as acrylic yarn.
