Lovely episode, thanks Amy. When you hold out your shawl it looks like a butterfly or moth wing - just beautiful.

I've ordered a few times from Hobbii and I've been happy each time. The prices are reasonable, you can get free shipping (if you order enough!) and the quality of the yarns is super. Great customer service, too. Amy: your shawl and sweater are gorgeous. What you said about waiting to see the finished product, about not judging things too early made perfect sense. We have to be somewhat adventurous in choosing colors/yarns/combinations ... I think it's part of the fun (at least for me). Lovely episode ❤

Hi Amy, that jumper you are wearing is in red flattering on you, both in shape and in colour. Agree Bout the sleeves though.

I’ve ordered yarn from Hobbii 3 times in the past year. As I am in Arizona, I ordered cottons and cotton blends; all have been higher quality yarn than I expected considering the price. I particularly like their cotton called Twister.

Amy I love the colors you chose for your shawl & sweater, superb! They both look amazing. So nice to hear about this yarn and how you felt about using it and how it feels. I'm always aprehensive to order yarn from so far away with shipping costs etc. It's always nice to find something local, but so fun to try new yarns as well. When you can't see or feel it and cost is a factor, it really helps to have these reviews. Thank you for taking the time and sharing your knowledge. 🤗

Thank you for taking the time to knit such lovely projects with these yarns. So often with these reviews I see people talk about the yarns straight out of the box of they have made a tiny Swatch and I feel like you just don't get a feel for how the yarn behaves when worked up.

Wonderful review. I would love to see the jumper with your Birds of a Feather shawl. I bet that would be gorgeous. I also will have to check out this silk on their website.

Wow ! Two fantastic finished objects. Your knitting is great and I like you color choices. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank youfor reviewing these yarns. It’s a really original thing to see, someone pricing the yarn for a beautiful project. A nice change, when yarn is becoming more and more eye wateringly expensive. You certainly have an eye for colour and I shall be looking more closely at the hobbii website from now on.

The color of your Pink Fizz is absolutely gorgeous! I've only ever used Hobbii's Tweed Delight but this makes me want to check out some more of their natural fiber yarns. Thank you for another great video ❤

Great review on the "Pink Fizz" jumper Amy. I've recently started this knit and will be taking your advice on the sleeves. Thank you 🤗

You are a beautiful knitter! I have not knittes anything except dishcloths and dog blanket out of cheap yarn from box stores. I want to venture out, but I'm nervous! Maybe an easy shawl would be a good first project?

Interesting…. I had never heard of Hobbii yarn until I met a knitter who used it. My first impression was “synthetic “ yarn. So nice to see that they have many qualities and types of yarn. I really really don’t like the name of their company. I am always trying to elevate the “art” of knitting and I feel their name just brings it knitting back down to a “pastime “ 😢

Like others have mentioned, I thought this company was more of a craft store and would only be selling acrylic yarns for toy making etc. I think the name suggests this, rather than being stockists of the kind of yarn you found there. After you previously mentioned that you were going to be doing this review, I checked them out and joined their mailing list. However, I was so bombarded with emails that I very quickly unsubscribed. I just felt that they were far too pushy, but maybe that’s just me being old! 👵🏻 Both the items you knitted are beautiful though, and it was interesting to hear your review.
