- Crochet thread is not as commonly used as yarn, but it is a great material for crocheters to work with! In this video, I discuss the differences and similarities between crochet thread and crochet yarn, some techniques that are commonly used with crochet thread, and some types of projects you can create!
For more information, check out my blog post here

I only use crochet thread size 3 for amigurumi. It makes smaller patterns but the shape feel and look is clean and smooth and perfect for creating 'figurines' or statue-like/doll-like creations that you can place on shelves as a collectors item. The most recent one I did was The Little Drummer Boy for my sister.
So interesting! I haven't seen that before. I'm sure it looks beautiful!
With true Irish Crochet lace, the motifs are made first, then attached to a piece of fabric. The netting is made on this fabric while simultaneously connecting the motifs together.
I love how you explain the difference between thread and yarn which I have picked up crocheting thread over 10 years ago and I prefer thread over yarn, especially where Christmas and gifts are concern. Not many people know the difference especially where number of stitches is concern. Thank you for explaining the difference.
@@user-ks8ln7ot3o You're welcome! And thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. It is so much appreciated!
This video came up as a suggestion after searching a specific topic relating to crochet. While it didn’t provide what I was searching for…it did provide something much more important to me!!! The LORDS PRAYER completed in fillet crochet was absolutely spectacular!!! That just blessed my heart. It is simply amazing. Whoever created that is super talented and blessed beyond measure. Additionally, I will be looking at your video of fillet crochet of names. My daughter just purchased her first home…would love to make her families name to have matted and framed as a house warming gift!!! Thank you so much for this wonderful idea and sharing your talent in your tutorial. Stay safe and be blessed ❤
Thank you so much for your sweet comment! I'm glad this video was able to bless you. I hope you are able to complete your daughter's family name in crochet. She will absolutely love the gift. It will be so meaningful and personal! :D
@@CraftywithAshy That’s one of the reasons I love crocheting…it’s a gift the keeps on giving for years to come!!! We create treasures!!!
June 21, 2024 at 4:30AM - I just wanted to comment that I just now purchased Aunt Lydia's Fashion 3 Crochet Thread at 40% OFF from Michaels ($2.99/ball). I bought 2 balls each of 14 different colors they were selling and got FREE SHIPPING! I do not gain anything from sharing this knowledge but I'm sure most anyone can appreciate a saving money. I hope someone benefits from this info. Have a great day! 😊
Awesome! I love people helping people! 😁 Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you. I learned a lot about thread vs yarn.
You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful! 😃
One way to explain the thread sizes is that it takes more stitches per inch, which is why the numbers are higher. In weaving, it’s called thread count.
My question is should I roll thread into a ball like yarn?
hmm...I don't know the answer to that. I feel like no, but I don't know for sure.
What I would suggest is to put the spool (not sure if that is what is called) on a post, like a paper towel holder, so it easily spins while you are using it.
I'll have to try out different things and see if I can find a good answer for you!
And I like that way of explaining it! It is a great way to remember it!
I don't. I use something to hold the thread instead. A small planter or bowl works. Sometimes I just put it in my lap. If I am concerned about keeping it clean, Even a baggie helps. Size 20 to size 80, I put it on the TV tray by my chair. It still ends up in my lap. 😊😊😊
Thank you.
Thank you! This is a great explanation.
You're welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the information 😊❤
You're welcome! Thank you for watching 😃
I crochet baby dresses with baby sandals with #10. Light & lovely dresses.
Sounds beautiful!
Great Video!

You're welcome. Thank you for taking the time to comment! 😁
Very helpful!
Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful 😁
Love seeing all the 100% cotton on sale. Does anyone know if any of the brands with cotton yarn are pre-shrunk, or should the yarn be washed and dried before beginning a project? Love this video. Thank you for showing the yarn up close and all the information.
That's a very good question. I really don't know the answer. I'll have to look around to see if I can find the info.
Thanks for taking time to leave a comment with feedback! Much appreciated!
@CraftywithAshy You're welcome. I always worry items will shrink and no longer fit. I've checked on labels. But no mention. Odd. Thank you!
I wanted to learn more about crochet thread before maybe purchasing some. I love the beauty of items made with thread but I suspect my eyesight may not be good enough to go any finer than fingering weight yarn.
This is my first visit to your channel, and I enjoyed this video. I think I'll subscribe and stick around. 😊
Thank you so much for your feedback! It's a pleasure to have you here 😁
I’ve actually seen size 16 steel hooks .5mm tiny tiny I use em to crochet with sewing thread
Wow!! That's impressive! I don't think my eyes are good enough haha 😂
@@CraftywithAshy I use magnifying lens things that clip on my glasses helps stop eye strain
@@gracearagon15 So smart! I picture you like a neuro surgeon now!
I'm really struggling with the transition fron yarn to thread. I'm using #10 thread and a 1.50 hook. The thread just slides off the hook whether I'm trying to yarn over or pull through loops. My tension seems lose and/or inconsistent. Any suggestions?
You could try holding the thread tighter...adding more tension from your non hook hand. Otherwise I can't think of anything specific besides the dreaded practice haha 😆
Crochet thread is mercerized, which is a process that burns off the “halo” (or fuzz) and makes it stronger. If you decide to crochet with embroidery floss, you can do that; but the end project won’t look as crisp, and may pill with agitation. Mercerized thread does not do this.
Wow! Thank you for adding this helpful information! I didn't know that difference between crochet thread and embroidery floss and could definitely have made that mistake. I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
🙂👍Thank you so much for making this vid. Is the thread the same number across the different brands of crochet thread? Example Cebelia #10 the same as Aunt lydia #10?
You're welcome!
The diameter or thickness of the thread is not standardized across brands. #10 thread of one brand may be a little thinner if it is a denser thread. They are all very similar, but there may be small variations.
Good question!
Good afternoon, I want to learn how to filet crochet. What size hook and thread you recommend for beginners?
Hi! I'm excited you want to learn this technique! I like size 30 thread and a 1.4 mm steel crochet hook. I have a video tutorial for a name "doily" with filet crochet technique and I use that size if you want to see what it looks like. ruclips.net/video/RggpcAg4mjY/видео.htmlsi=uOGYScuIRq7NXoGP
It's going to take some practice working with the tiny materials, but if you already crochet it shouldn't be too much of a jump. If you haven't crocheted before, I'd probably recommend learning the stitches with yarn first just because it is so much easier to see what you're doing.
1:20 Number 100 would be like sewing one strand of hair. Lol
Yes!! If you try, I'd love to hear about your experience 🤣 haha
Crochet thread is usually cotton.
