Little tip: check with your LYS even if they don't have an online shop. I am home-bound due to disability and my LYS (Parker Avenue Knits) has been amazing. They respond quickly to Instagram messages, answer questions over the phone, and have even done a video chat with me to help find things. They have offered to ship things to me as well. Thanks for another great video, Toni!

@oakstrong1 2 жыл бұрын

Wow, you are so lucky with your Lys. Mine wasn't anything like that, it was almost like he resented having more than one customer or them spending too much in the shop, and all the yarn was of big box stores. Great place for finding yarn of a company that had folded a few years ago... But his hidden location, pandemic and increasing running costs made him decide to retire last Christmas. Now there is a $ store equivalent selling a very limited selection of DK and occasionally aran basic acrylic with same colours rotating at random intervals. It is actually quite good quality but there is only so much I want to make with light peach or bright red and charcoal grey (the latter two colours are popular inschool uniforms).

For discontinued yarns (and who hasn't played yarn chicken and lost, then searched fruitlessly for that same yarn with no results?)I have found Ebay sellers to be a real blessing. Many of the sellers are crocheters and knitters who bought too much, or lost interest in some yarns, and while the prices aren't always cheap, often the shipping is free, and being able to find the yarn in the exact color you need, well, it is just worth it.

Little Knits is also a great online store. As a Canadian, I've been searching for more companies based in Canada because some of the shipping fees to bring something across the border are outrageous! Once I purchased a shirt for $25, shipping was $20 but then I got nailed another $55.

Yarn Paradise/Ice Yarns is my go to when i buy in bulk since it’s a wholesale site. You can get 2-8 skeins of yarn per “lot” depending on the brand, type, weight, etc and most of their cotton and acrylics are suuuuper cheap but still awesome quality! Shipping is a lil pricey for US folks since it’s a brand based in Turkey i believe, but my orders almost always get here within 5-6 days 💜

Great video!!! So inspired!

This came right on time! I was struggling trying to find alternative yarn for your Bahama Blanket pattern. Something that was a nice mixed variegated yarn that could blend well together and wasn’t going to have giant chunks of a color or stripes. I visited each site and found the PERFECT yarn at Lovecrafts. It’ll be a gift for my mom for Christmas. Since she crochets herself and quite well I never felt confident making her anything, however Tunisian crochet is something only I do in our family. Gotta thank you for introducing me to that too Toni! Thanks!

I have found that Joanne's will give you different dye lots for the same color yarn. This has definitely affected my projects. They also don't notify you of the difference which would give you the option to at least choose if you are okay with the difference in dye lots. This has happened with my last 2 orders and I recently saw another KZfaqr that had the same problem. When you order online be sure to check your dye lots before starting your projects. If you're making something small or that the difference in shades wouldn't matter you should be fine. But for larger projects you should definitely check the dye lot numbers. Love your videos lady and I have a friend who is learning how to Tunisian crochet from you. She's learning Tunisian before basic crochet lol
