The last yarn I found at Dollar Tree was a discontinued Bernat Viva. I miscalculated how much I'd need for a project I was designing myself and needed 2 more skeins. I couldn't find anymore anywhere except eBay and the seller wanted WAY too much for it. I suggest, if buying yarn from Dollar Tree, buy more than you think you'll need.

There is nothing that bothers me more then people who are selling yarn on an online source at a totally unreasonable price! I mean sure sell it for more then what you paid for it, but I can almost guarantee that either you got it discounted OR it's been sitting so long in your craft room you want to get rid of it regardless. I come across people wanting double the price for skeins, its utterly ridiculous.

@mysticmoth11113 жыл бұрын
It's a technicality. If it's x% of a material you can say it's that material. Much like how juice companies can call their drinks juice even if it's only like 5% juice. It's messed up but companies paid money for these laws and money always talks..

I agree! I got a few balls of this from my local dollar tree for dish cloths and after starting to use it I noticed that it split very easily and that honestly it just wasn't very nice. I didn't even think to look at the fiber content before buying since it said "just cotton" so ultimately my mistake. I'm definitely going to exchange the unused balls and spend the extra $0.77 for peaches and cream :)

@@sherrimiller5258 Peaches and cream cotton yarn is sold at Walmart. I believe it’s 120 yards per ball. It’s similar to sugar and cream cotton yarn but I personally like it better because I find it to be softer. Some Walmart’s have better craft sections than others though so you might check where it’s in stock online before going.

Dollar Tree is definitely one of my go too stores, I've been on a budget my entire life, but I also love to find a deal. If you don't mind buying Pre-owned items, you can sometimes find afghans to recycle at thrift stores, and if you can carefully take them apart and have yarn to make stitch sampler sqaures, its a great way to get practice without busting the budget. If your lucky you can even find hooks and other crochet or knitting items reasonably priced. I even bought some totes to store my yarn in lol. Today I got a canvase storage cube with yarn in it for $4.99 it had 11skeins of various colored yarn and a couple large hooks and 4 knitting needles, 7 of them are lion brand homespun yarn. I also saw but didn't buy, 4 full bed sized afghans, an 1 crib size in very nice condition for $2.00 each.

I love the hooks too. I have even preferred them over some much nicer that I have...I love that I rarely split the yarn with these hooks and the finish give an almost self adjusting tension to different fibers. And it's just plastic so that's interesting to me. My husband whittled out some handled from thick wood dowels and they snugly friction fit into the center holes and havent budged , however there was a small gap at the opening because the center hole is one width and the hook of course has shape to it. I just used my glue gun and a gold sparkly hot glue stick also from dollar tree and just put a little in there to close it up and smoothed it with my finger. The gold really worked well and blended with the wood. It was a blond wood to begin with which I sanded and oiled and it took on a shiny almost pearly gold cast so the glue kind of melted into that and even though every size hook is a different pastel color it just goes well with all of them and they literally don't look cheap or like some tacky diy fail. Lol and I have 6 hooks but one dowel wide enough is less than a dollar and could probably do a dozen so it's a pretty good deal. :)

I have the same 4mm and 4.5mm hook set, they’re good. I couldn’t find a 4mm hook anywhere near me. Also you can’t blame a hook for dropping yarn, that’s user error. The yarn is Dollar Tree exclusives. Go down a hook size if it’s too “gappy” it’s thinner and of course you can’t rely on the label suggestions.
