What do you think of this yarn? I would love to know! ❤
I think this yarn has a very niche market: People who love a challenge, and the perpetual stress of yarn chicken, or people who have such a huge hatred of sewing in ends that they'd be willing to redo rounds over and over again if their tension isn't perfect. Personally, I don't think the average crocheter fits into this niche but I'm glad it exists for the people who do fit into that niche
You speak soooo much truth!! ♥️♥️♥️
That's me! 😂
@@shinymimikyu6664 You don't have to keep frogging until it works. Just change up the pattern to remove all the extra stitches between clusters, then with extra yarn at end of round, slip stitch until the new color starts. Works wonders!
Love love love this yarn. Here's the secret: ditch instructions on the back of label. Use a 6.0 (J) crochet hook, chain only two in the corners (instead of three), and leave out the chain one between clusters. This way you will always have yarn of each color left over at the end of your round. Then instead of stressing, simply slip stitch along top until you get to the next start of a cluster where your new color lines up. Works every time without fail and you can't tell. The key is to be flexible and this yarn will make beautiful granny squares for everyone!
@@jeannielecureschroeder2697 I have to use a smaller hook because I crochet so loose 😭🤣
As someone who's been crocheting for YEARS but just got into granny squares due to hating the weaving of the end of strings... I love this idea
It's definitely a cool idea! Just a bit of work! 🥰♥️
You're so quick I'm just hypnotised ! I love your enthusiasm I might order the same colors as yours + the black/green one 😊
Aw thank you! And I wish my joanns had all the color options when I went! There are soo many pretty ones! 😍
Your video was extremely helpful cause I was ready to give up on using it for granny squares, I used it for hats and worked great for that but I’m going to try it again thank you for this!
You're welcome! I'm so glad you found this helpful! You got this 👍🏾
It’s like playing yarn chicken each round! Pretty, but sounds stressful. Wonder what it would look like using this yarn for a different project.
That is the truest statement I've ever heard! 🤣
And I think I saw one person just crochet with it normally!
Forget the yarn... Can we all admire the speed of this woman's hands???? I thought she speeded up the video... But noup! 😂
hahaha, thank you! 🤣
Not impressed with the yarn, but cool concept.
It's definitely personal preference 😅
I have just ordered this yarn I cannot wait to start it but it’s got to be shipped to the uk
I don’t think I can stand the wait 😂
You got this! Hopefully, it won't take too long! ♥️
You crochet incredibly fast!
Thank you! ♥️✨️🥰
Yah! I thought the same thing!
I love your enthusiasm during this tutorial. I struggled with this yarn but once it clicked I love it
That's great to hear! ❤️
My daughter had no problem with it. I couldn't get it to work up correctly. I gave up. My daughter is making a sweater with it.
Yeah, it's pretty tricky!
Canyou measure your granny square and let me know the size. That will help me see if i am crocheting too tight or to loose.
Mine is 6 inches across the middle 👍🏾♥️
Omg I have bought so much of this yarn because I'm obsessed. I don't use their pattern and I use a 5.5 mm hook. I usually have a little of a color left over but I just slip stitch to the next space. I also don't chain in the holes and only do two in the corners. I got it for I think $5.24 a she in from Joann and I want more.
I'm sooo happy that you are making it work for you!! ♥️♥️♥️
I bought that same color today.
I agree with you everyone is going to be different and so is every ball of yarn. I do think it's going to be worth it just not sew the tails in.
If you detest sewing in ends enough to play yarn chicken, then it is for you!
I found my yarn 🧶 at Walmart.
Yes, they sell it there now! ❤️
I wanna try it. I really hope i can get some here in the UK.😊
Hopefully soon! ❤️❤️
I bought a skein. I've tried it with both the size hook and the next size bigger and I couldn't even get the FIRST round to match up. I may try it again later, but for now, it's not worth it.
@@dizzysdoings totally understandable!
@@thestitchqueencrochet I read some of the comments. Sounds like someone else had the same problem that I did, a super long tail!
If I knew how much yarn I needed for the first round, I may be able to do it. Maybe I'll do a round, mark where it ends, pull it apart and measure it. That is, once I remember where I put it. 😂
@@dizzysdoings You got this!
@@thestitchqueencrochet I'm trying to figure out exactly how much yarn I need for the first round. I accidentally got a knot in the yarn, so cut some off and STILL have way too much. But, I've almost got it figured out.
I'm going to measure where I think I need to start. Then hopefully the rest will fall into place.
I'll then be able to tell if they did just mess up that first color.
I’m a new crocheter and it took me a minute to figure out but I enjoy it even if I have to redo the round a few times to get it right ! I like that I don’t have to worry about choosing colors or weaving all the extra ends in. I have finished one skein and got 15 squares and I have a few more skeins so I’m trying to make my first blanket 😊
The tutorial I watched for it was really helpful, by The Crotchet Crowd
and it’s helping me figure out better tension too I think.
It’s definitely something that needs patience and time. I like to just watch tv and work on my squares. I also broke my wrist recently and have finally been able to start crocheting things again as a form of therapy so it’s been keeping me busy and helping be regain mobility:)
It sounds like you are having a great time with the squares 😍😍😍
@hannahelizabeth6405 I'm also glad that you're healing up! 🥰🥰
@@thestitchqueencrochet thank you!! I can see why people wouldn’t like it but it’s working for me so far :)
Hey, I'm new here. I really want to try this yarn but I don't know.
Welcome!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and if you don't mind frogging and trial and error, give it a try! But if you wanna just crochet and get into a flow, I wouldn't get it 😅
Great video. It definitely got easier for me as I played with it. I’m hitting the colour changes using a 6.5mm hook & I’m using my regular granny square. I’m a tight crocheter & I’ve made about 45 squares so far. I’m really interested in some of the colour ways with black but we only have them at Walmart in Canada & those haven’t been made available on line yet. I did a vlog on January 23rd trying to use it for the 1st time. Things have become smooth sailing for me since then. I really like it! Thanks for sharing! 🧶💜
I'm so glad you figured it out! It definitely takes some playing around with ♥️
And 45? Wow, that's awesome!
Hi
Hello! ❤️
Just coming across you for the first time! Thank you for sharing this experience! Love your excitement and I can totally relate to the quick crocheting translating into looser tension a lot of the time!
I'm so glad you found my channel! And you're welcome! Glad I could share something beneficial for you!
If I plan on using this yarn, it won’t be for a granny square because it’s like a guessing game of how much or how little of the previous color is left. However, I did buy 1 skein. It took me forever to figure it out. I didn’t go by the instructions. What I had to do was tighten the tension. I also did 3 double crochets and chained 2, then 3 double crochets and chain one and on to the next double crochet. I used a I crochet hook. I prefer to change colors using different skeins of yarn.
Yeah, it's definitely a learning curve 🙃 it'd probably look pretty worked up as something else, too!
This yarn is like a game lol ! Thank you for sharing !
It is 100% a game! And you're welcome!
I think you’ll change your mind after using it for a while. You start understanding how the yarn plays out, and you’ll start to love it like I do. 😁. Just my opinion!
Yes! I figured out the right hook! It's a 4.25mm for me, and I don't have to cochet so tight anymore 🥰
You are the fastest crocheter ever! Thanks for sharing! I’ve watched so many review videos of this yarn & I really enjoyed yours! ❤
Aw, thank you, that means so much to me! I didn't watch any reviews before I made this video because I wanted to be as authentic as possible! ♥️
I think this is the 6th review I've watched of this yarn and absolutely no one hasn't had to play yarn chicken 😂
🤣🤣🤣 playing yarn chicken is the sacrifice you must make 🤣
I just went down to 4.25mm Hook, and so far, so good!
I had way too much left over with every color. I started with a 38” tail!!! And then I had to color change on my own. I tried the recommended size and went up as far as a 7mm and still had way too much left over. I went back to the 5.5mm and just did what I needed to do to get it done. lol Idk if they measured the color strips wrong or what. But I improvised and made it work. 😊
Dang, was that skein messed up, was your hook wrong, or do you crochet super tight? 🤣 that's INSANE
That sounds like the same problem I had when I tried it. I couldn't even get the FIRST color done. I kept increasing the size of the tail and trying a bigger hook.
I had to go down two sizes on the hook and crochet tight in order to make the colors work.
I went down to a 4.25mm so I could crochet normally 😅
I crochet super tight so this is SO good to know, i love the Aran-Creme color pallate 😭
Ohhh I'm gonna have to go see how that one looks! 👀💖
I also crochet super tight. What size hook did you use?
Was this bought online or in stores?
In Joanns Fabric Stores! They do sell it online, but buying online from them is always a horrible experience for me 🤣
This is not for a follow along. What the hell.
I never said it was a follow along ♥️♥️♥️
