    My local Michael's was so empty for a long time, but now they are filling up the aisles with their own yarn. ValueCraft was replaced by the exact same thing, for the same price, but under the loops & threads label.

    • @karylmonaco8174
      @karylmonaco8174 Год назад +1

      ​@karenperreira3508 Actually, the shipping is realistic. It was much less before all of the major shipping companies raised their prices several years ago. When that happened, Ice Yarns raised their shipping charges. Everyone else, including big box stores, raised the price of the yarn to make up the difference. On a skein-by-skein basis, Ice--with shipping--is still less. Bag-o-Day and The Secret Yarnery frequently do a cost analysis of buying from Ice. Crystal at BOD held the common belief that the shipping made Ice a bad deal until she finally started doing what many had advised and started pricing it out. Krista at Secret Yarnery ALWAYS priced it out. what you'll find is that Ice is always equal to or less than the others when comparing regular prices, and the selection of yarns available is extraordinary. And, like all yarn shopping, there are tricks to getting the best deals. Unlike the others, Ice yarns less frequently have sale items, but it does happen. But the question often is, do I want to pay an average of $3.00 per ball of yarn when shipping is included, or do I want to pay $4.00 average per ball and get free shipping?

I came across your thread a few days ago and I enjoy listening to your opinion about diff yarns etc. As I'm watching you, I'm slowly working on what Jayda named " the big beautiful basket " where you use 3 or 4 strands of yarn all the way from bottom to top. OMG it's a beast w 4 strands ( I had only ever used 3 before and believe me the 4th added makes a huge difference! lol )...anyhow, take care Darlin', I've got to go grab one of your other videos to keep me going 😊

    Hola, Juan. I love Ice Yarn Company. The prices are phenomenal. The more you buy the better you are. I took the price of the shipping and divided it by the amount of skeins and it was about .25 cents more per skein. Much cheaper than going to the store.

    Thank you for doing this review, I can't tell you how many times I've had saver in my cart, and taken it out because I was afraid I would be upset about ordering red heart super saver from Turkey, instead of a trip to Joann or Walmart. I am a Red Heart girl all day every day. Kinda glad I always put it back and bought other yarns I can't get here.

  • @songbirdscreations-MargaretS
    @songbirdscreations-MargaretS Год назад

    Hi Juan! Just found your channel! Thanks to Crystal! Thank you for your review on this yarn!. Overall, I really love Ice yarns. I have had really good luck getting more "exotic" yarns from them. I don't mind yarns with a halo as a rule. In fact, I love working with yarns with mohair! But if I was buying an acrylic, expecting a nice, clean look, I would probably be unhappy with purchasing the Saver yarn. As far as the shipping on Ice yarns, once you divide it out by the number of balls, it usually still comes out less than stuff you can get stateside. Especially if you are ordering online, because their shipping is not always cheap either!
    So good to see a lefty crocheter on RUclips. Can't wait to watch some of your tutorials! Good luck and I hope your channel continues to grow by leaps and bounds!

    Another value acrylic I have found and liked: Hobby Lobby had one called Crafter's Secret. Just another worth looking at.
    Not to be a Debbie Downer, but in hopes that folks are prepared for just-in-case: In today's global climate you might want to consider where your yarn and supplies are coming from and plan ahead. I have a thing for certain yarns that are made in Turkey, so I'm trying to think ahead and take advantage of sales on those yarns. Perhaps you love a yarn made in China and don't ever want to be without it? And so on. It's not about politics or anything like that, it's just reality and being aware of the possibilities that some things from some places may not always be easy to source. That goes for pretty much anything, not just yarn. We live in interesting times . . . . .
    Binge watching your content, Juan.

Learn in 4H and self taught myself crocheting around 18. I started with red heart all those years ago. Hmmm as old as u r I’ve been knitting.

    I'm so picky with Acrylic yarns because they tend to feel very different based on brand for me. I'm very texture sensitive. I've had some very soft acrylics that just seem better spun, so they are much softer. Buying yarn online is really hard for me because I have to be able to feel it. So it's nice to hear reviews on what they compare to feel-wise.
