Yarn!!!

Sep 20, 2022 09:31 AM

Hi all!

I'd like to ask a really knowledgeable crocheter here a question: What kind of yarn do you work with? I've been purchasing this basic yarn from Michael's, but it has a cheap feel to it and rips quickly. I'd prefer something softer and more durable, as well as something that doesn't get filthy easily. I'd also like something reasonably priced, given that I don't make much money:((.
Thank you very much!!

I'm a budget shopper myself. Joann's fabric carries a good selection of quality yarns and they have great sales and coupons. Hobby Lobby might just be regional but they ship everywhere and you can order online. Their Yarn Bee line is very nice and inexpensive.

I use Hobbii yarn.  They have great sales and the quality is amazing.  Yes, you have to have it shipped, but I've never had a problem with that.  I've also found their customer service to be top notch.  I once received an order and 4 of the skeins had some kind of grease on them.  I received replacements very few questions asked, they just sent it.  They have expensive yarn, to be sure.  Their sales, however, are amazing.  Amazing value.  Highly recommend!

Thank you Paula!!! I've heard about these before, and I think you've convinced me. I really have a problem with shipping things out as I always get my address wrong, but I'm sure i can figure it out!
