Hello there! I can't express how helpful this video has been for an indian native like me (cue eternal summer) I absolutely CANNOT wear any acrylic here and have been struggling with cotton yarn for some time now, but this has solved a lot of problems thankfully phew Thank you so much 🤍
I'm glad I found you. I do like crocheting with thick acrylic yarn but I am hoarding loads of cotton yarn, mostly it's 100% cotton, for when I go back to Cambodia. However, pure cotton stretches when it gets wet, which isn't great in a place where it rains every day for 6 months. What cotton blend would stretch the least?
The sweater you're wearing is soooo pretty!! Thanks for letting us in on a lot of this cotton yarn info. Premier yarns has a 50 50 Cotton acrylic blend called cotton fair, I think is its name. Never used it, but have felt it at Michaels, it's super soft and feels pretty light. Have a good one!
Angie Ren thanks for the sweet compliment ☺️💕 I will have to check that one out. Our michaels aren’t that great here. My yarn aisle is just 1 row. I’ve seen some michaels that have several rows!
I was dreading of the cons of cotton which is its heavy,sag a lot,and trapping smell.Since then I stopped buying 100% cotton and opted to buy bamboo instead.Problem is i have handyed fingering weight cotton and am wondering if it is okay to be made into wraps or cardi...also what do you think of making innerwear tops from bamboo? Will it be breathable for summer?There's also cotton bamvoo out there but im not sure about the pro n con.
That was very helpful. I can not wear wool or acrylic next to my skin. I think PaintBox yarn has brought out, good cotton yarn and after watching this, I just ordered some ;) Love from London.
What a great video with such good information. It seems, from what you have said in this video, that mercerized cotton would be good for a cowl. Am I correct?
I know I am late to this vid. But I am wanting to make some face cloths for some babies. What brand or blend of cotton yarn would you recommend for these? I am fairly new to cotton yarns. I have been crocheting and knitting for many years so the yarn being spitty isnt an issue. Great job explaining :) I just dont have the money to go out experimenting a lot.
Thanks so much for the video! I am new at using cotton. I made a bathroom washcloth, probably hobby lobby brand. After washing and drying it shrunk a lot. What is best for keeping cloths (and clothes) from shrinking?
This is the first video od yours that I've seen. But I LOVE the name Yarniacs. It sounds super fun. This is such a great video! Thank you for making this. I'm still fairy new to knitting, though I've been knitting for a few years. Thank you for your advice. It's greatly appreciated. 😄 I personally buy cheaper yarn because I'm on a budget, but I just love knitting and crocheting. I generally use acrylic yarn and sometimes cotton yarn. I like Bernat yarn. Though every brand is great I'm sure. 😄 Do you have any more suggestions of brands? Thank you.
Just found you !!! I need and advise about which cotton will be great for crochet beret,it's so many out there that I don't know.cotton that not stretch I hope.Thanks sooo much from Canada.
I've really liked using Red Heart's "Scrubby Smoothie" (the *smoothie* part is critical!), not just for kitchen items but also for clothing. It's both softer and stretchier than the other cottons I've tried. It comes in lots of colors, solid and variegated, in 3.5 oz/100g skeins that are 153 yards/ 140m. I get it mostly at JoAnn Etc., where it retails for about $4.50 a skein, but they always have coupons & often good sales.
Hello, thank you for this explanation on cotton yarns 😁 I love the feel of it & love to Crochet with it 💕 because I love to Crochet household items 😋 such as kitchen things & rugs/bathroom sets 💜 but most are in Portuguese or Spanish with the Barbante, Barroco, Anne, Clea, EuroRoma yarn. 😋 I cannot get much of a Choice of cotton yarn locally only James C Brett, here in the UK 😋 I can order on line mostly 50g Skeins but also found somewhere that sells the Cones in 400g 😁💕💜💙 so this has helped me a lot 😁 Erica x
Erica Bates that’s wonderful! I’m still trying to educate myself on what the UK and other countries have available to them. I realize is American makers sometimes forget not everyone can get their hands on the yarns we talk about. 😔 So this year my goal is to be more knowledgeable and direct international makers to yarns I know are available to them!
Hi! I am a beginner and i bought a cotton yarn on a cone and i wanna know where to find the beginning of the yarn. I just don’t wanna mess it up. I wanna make a shorts out of it. I bought Peaches & Creme. I hope you can answer this asap. Thank you
Trying to translate worsted 100% wool working on 6 & 8 and my niece wants the pattern done in cotton. Any help would be appreciated. Making a 70's retro sweater sleeveless vest with a harvest/ golden color and darker color on border.
Thank you that was very informative!! I am liking the fair isle angel recently, it's a cotton blend, I've only found it on joann online, but I'm very happy with quality of the yarn and definately is good for lightweight pieces that are heirloom quality. I like fair isle harbor for sport weight cotton blend they sell that in the store.♡♡ Cant wait for the pieces you've designed with comfy cotton, i wish they had More colors, the yarn is amazing i made a light weight sweater (i live in Florida) it is so pretty and drapes well and is just perfect. I bought some today to make a skirt with!!
Yarn addict aka K lo oh that’s good to know about fair isle. I didn’t realize they have cottons! My Joann doesn’t carry any of their stuff but I’ve seen their acrylics online before. That’s for sharing the info! ☺️
great video...I can't work with or wear wool/ acrylic yarns. I have been looking at cotton yarns. This was very helpful....Have you tried Lion Brand Coboo yarn?
When you say wash do you mean machine wash or hand wash? I'm want to make a sweater and I'm thinking between 24/7 cotton and the Pima cotton from Lion brand. I'm looking for a material that can be machine washable
Hello, we have a shop in the UK that sells some Caron Simply Soft, £5-6, Bernat blanket, home deck is like £11-15, Lily's Sugar & Cream in cotton (not sure I think it's about 70g) is £3-4 & the 400g cones I think was £15 & if you spend I think it was £30 postage/ shipping is free 😁So I am going to start to get some 400g cones 💙💜 Cotton yarn where I live in the UK, s not popular at all 😋 neither is crocheting (knitting is 😋 ) but I really enjoy yarn shopping & yarn reviews with Bag-ODay Crochet 💕& Creative Grandma Crochet. It's gives me a !pom at different yarns ha ha! Even if I can't get them h ha! 😋 I think I am just addicted to any yarnl ha ha! 😁 Erica x
Hello, a lot of yarn reviews recently have been on Hobium yarns they are in Turkey 😁 beautiful yarns but it's in $ not £. There is meant to be Hobium yarns UK but that is in $ still. Emailed them & asked for a a UK price list & did not get a reply 😋 Erica x
I wanted so much to enjoy your video. I like to know that the crafters doing these are authentic. I just thought I would give you some feedback. Once I saw that you are associated with certain brands and receiving some commission, I found it a bit disappointing as I felt you would naturally be drawn to highlighting those yarns that provide you with the financial benefit. I don't know how others feel bu thought you might welcome a reaction from a new viewer.
@@tonka9573 lt is finished. It was a big project. Taking me two years. Actually, I'm a textile teacher. The product of the project is an Android App. It's completely free.. let me know if you are interested. Tks
@@tingzhu1600 wow I'm sure it is a lot to tell/learn about. Not sure if it's too much in depth for my purpose, but until I won't try I will not know. I just started crocheting a month ago and am facinated how much you can learn. I would appreciate if you'd share the app with me. I don't have a smart phone but windows 10 should work afaik.
@@tonka9573 Thanks for your interest. but i'm afraid that my app won't help much with your crocheting. it's just for school purposes. With this app, my studnets learn the textile terms in English, like the spelling, pronunciation, listening skills, etc. so it's not so useful for you as you're a native speaker of English. :) anyway, you need an android phone(not iphone or windows 10) to try it. good luck with your handcraft.
@@tingzhu1600 I see. I'm actually not a native english speaker. German is kind of my mother tongue and in youtube DE the variety of crochet videos is limited so I switched to the english one's.

Can you mix a 100 % cotton yarn and a cotton blend yarn in the same project ?

Both! for the 24/7 cotton and pima cottons I do machine wash and everything holds up perfectly!
@@Yarnhookneedles Crystal from Bag O Day Crochet washed a piece she made with the Pima Cotton and it pilled really badly.
