15 years ago I made a twin size bedspread with crochet thread. I no longer remember how many balls I used, but it took me 2 years to complete. It's white, and I use beautifully colored sheets to set off the pattern. I made it to be an heirloom and I have 2 daughters already fighting over who gets it! I like labor-of-love projects! My mother made me a tablecloth for my hope chest 40 years ago (us old ladies remember hope chests). It's in the old fashioned pineapple pattern and every time I look at it, my heart melts that I have something so precious and that too is an heirloom I will pass down, even though no one I know uses them on tables anymore. I am also one of the few that likes Homespun. I've made numerous afghans and pillows. I found the trick is using a hook 2 sizes bigger than recommended. The afghans feel glorious to snuggle under! My favorite colors of yarn are earth tones too.

I have crocheted a pineapple tablecloth with size 30 thread and am working on a full size pineapple bedspread out of white size 10 thread that will go over a solid purple queen size bedspread. It takes 78 balls of thread and I am on my 3rd one. It will take me awhile.

They go on, I'm 65 and have a bedspread and tablecloths thread crocheted by my great grandmothers. I display the tablecloths, but I do not actually use them for meals so they stay clean. My mother and grandmother did not do thread crochet (altho Grandma did knit & crochet), but I do. I'm not so ambitions, I only make doilies or occasionally a little bit of lace. I cannot imagine the time to make a bedspread or tablecloth!

Hi Chrystal, I have been watching you now for about a year and I am 71 years old and I have learned alot from you. I have been a knitting and crocheting for a long tine. I crochet alot for my 5 adult children and 9 grandchildren. I also love to crochets alot for the others. I work with My Counseling on Age, who give to the needed, specialty the kids and the elderly. So alot of your territorial has help me alot to do new projects. I also saw your territorial on the Big Knitting Machine, so I bought one and now I am going to teach myself to use it. I found in my the big book of stitchs that they are about 90 different ones. I was hoping you good someday have a territorial on some different ones. I find it so easy to follow you and learn faster then trying to read it! Lastly I was hoping you could do more things for Men! I am making one of your men sweater right now. Your husband is very handsome and models them so well! I had to adjust some of the measurements because my hubby has a medium size belly. Lol When ending I would like to tell you that I love your Territorial and your easy way of teaching them. One last funny thing to tell you that I can definitely relate to you about loving yarn. I have become addicted to buying yarn on SALE! I do alot of shopping on many sites too. I don't enter your giveaway because I have alot and I think that some one else in need could used it, besides my chances of winning are very slim with all your followers. I hope you have a Fantastic New Year and that you reach your goal of One Million followers, you deserve it. Well take care and be safe. A royal follower. Christine Jackson from Norton, Massachusetts

I love working with threads. My favorite is Aunt Lydias #10. Just finished crocheting my dinning table cloth, placemats and runner. Last year I made large doilies for my end tables/nightstands, coffee table, large runner for my TV stand and window valances. Have a few projects lined up, two bedspreads and some tops for my daughter. Have to wait though *sigh*. On a tight budget. Can't afford buying yarns/threads like I use to anymore. Crocheting is all I do most of the day. Don't know what I'd do if I couldn't crochet anymore.

I feel the same way. I had crocheted for 55 years when my rheumatoid arthritis took my crochet abilities away for awhile. Then I said too myself that I’m not going too let it happen. Now I crochet through the pain. If it gets too bad rest my hands. Oh I love to crochet with size 10 thread too. Before my hands got so bad, I crocheted with sewing thread. How I wish I could still do that! There’s a few doily patterns I love that I want to make in miniature.

I have been crocheting fo 60 years and love it as much today as I did when my grandmother taught me at age 9. I wanted to learn to make beautiful useful things with my hands. I love that crochet never gets boring. I love trying new yarns and stitch patterns. Seeing a project in my mind come together. Or teaching someone how to crochet and seeing the look on their face when they finish their first project. these are why I love crochet.

Crystal, I know what you mean. I have been crocheting for 48 years. It's a passion. Some people think if you love to crochet, you'll love to crochet everything using every medium. Not so ! Not for me, at least. I do enjoy using crochet thread & the little steel hooks....& I love using yarn & aluminum hooks. But I do not enjoy making amigurumi. I don't enjoy making anything that requires making little pieces & then putting them together. I don't enjoy making flowers, for example, that require making little petals, little leaves, little stems & then piecing them together. I think amigurumis are cute but I don't want to make them. There are yarns that aren't fun to use. I made someone a scarf in a super fuzzy yarn once. I couldn't see any of my stitches ! I'll never use that yarn again. I have a C Hero hook. I didn't realize they were hard to come by until I heard you talk about them! I've had mine for decades...can't remember where I got it. I appreciate your honesty....you do it w/ a sweetness. I always enjoy your podcasts ...including your tutorials which you do very well.

I’m making a blue one now and then mint. 2 skeins is enough to make a good size blanket and a couple of beanies so as the baby grows. It really softens up in washer/dryer. I loved Boye hooks til I tried Clover. Thanks for sharing, Crystal. 🙏🏻♥️💥🌈🎉

My fave hooks are Susan Bates. I have tried others and always come back to Bates. I have a Clover H hook that I bought because everyone raves about them and because I always seem to choose H or I hook I choose the H. I don't like the ends. They always slip on me. I miss stitches, drop stitches just a pain for me. I always hear that Bates snag the yarn, but I have never had that problem. Maybe because I started with them. I still have my first Bates blue H8 hook, although it isn't blue all over anymore. It has to be buried with me. ; -)

Same here. I have always loved my Bates hooks - I have Boye and Hero and clover, but never use them. Any tapered hook I try to use snags and splits the yarn.

I think it's a matter of what feels good in your hands. I tried Susan Bates hooks but could never get the flow of my stitches. I found that I kept dropping stitches and getting my yarn tangled...maybe its just me but I don't want to think about my hook, I want to think about my yarn and stitch pattern which is why I don't use Susan Bates although I really wanted to like them! Boye regular crotchet hooks work for me. I wiz through my projects with great ease!

I began crocheting with thread. I quickly moved away. I began crocheting with Boye hooks and move to Bates because I found myself crocheting so tightly with Boye. I have one Aero hook made in England. I do use the ergonomic hooks now due to arthritis ( may you never have arthritis🙏) and am back to Boye though I still use my Bates. I have my mothers hooks made in England and they are all Aero put out by Bernat about 50 years ago. I'm thankful the Mainstays brand is now of better quality since you made this video. It's about all I can afford. God bless y'all 😇💙.

Love the color of the Mandela yarn. But you are right Crystal, you have to adjust your hook size etc to use it. I use a G hook with this. The Walmarts here in AZ have discontinued the majority on there craft sections. Made us very sad. There are only 1 aisle of yarn now, selection is not good! Sure wish they would bring back their fully stocked shelves. The only places we have for yarn is Michaels, JoAnns and Hobby Lobby. JoAnns has really gone down hill and the prices of their yarns have gone sky high.. You don't get what you are paying for at all!

I was drawn to this video because it shows Red Heart Unforgettable yarn in the intro. This morning, I finished my first project with this yarn and it is definitely my new favorite! I used the color Dragonfly and made an oversized triangle shawl for my oldest friend (46 years) and it is simply gorgeous! My sister loves it so much that I've ordered the same yarn to make the same shawl for her! The pineapple motif is my favorite pattern! I've used it in many doilies, a couple of shawl and I made myself a beautiful cream worsted weight queen bedspread. I also got about 50" done on a round cotton pineapple table cloth - I don't remember why I set it aside, but have never been able to determine where I was in the pattern! So sad!

Currently I am making shawls with the shawl in a ball yarn and love it! It's been taking me 1 1/2 skeins to make a full shawl for my girls. As for hooks, most of mine are aluminum, passed down from my grandma. I tried bamboo and didn't like it as much. The yarn did not slide as smoothly while crocheting.

I love your videos and although I have crocheted and knitted for 60 years I look forward to your yarn opinion videos especially. I actually do thread crochet and my favorite is "filet" because following the pattern is like a jigsaw puzzle and a challenge, but I love to make sweaters and shawls with larger yarns too. The downside with the thread crochet is that when I work on something with a .75mm it can pierce my fingertip like a needle and over the years I have calloused them pretty good! I love your patterns and plan to get a baby blanket pattern from you for my baby granddaughter due this coming March! Again thank you for the great videos!

Hey Crystal, I am absolutely amazed at this video. I just found your channel recently and I enjoy your tutorials. I enjoy your personality to boot! I am the polar opposite of you. I didn’t care for any of the yarns that you liked nor disliked. A couple of the colors were pretty, but it’s the material, weight and colors that I dislike and don’t use. I don’t care for earthtones and don’t like using four ply yarn. I love working with thread and yarn up to size 3. As for the crochet hooks, why stop here, ha ha. I love in-line crochet hooks such as Susan Bates. I cannot stand the tapered style such as Boye and Hero. As a matter of fact, if I can’t find the hook I enjoy, my project will not get made. But I just love watching your channel and picking up some design ideas. I think you rock!

Thank you for this yarn review, I agree with you with most of the yarn you like or dislike. I feel the same way about Mandala. I started running a baby weight or even a #2 white with it sometimes, and that is a gives it a nice affect and weight. Enjoy your visits and tutorials.

I don't know why an almost 4 year old video popped into my feed, but I saw the Unforgettable Yarn pictured and dove in! Interesting what 4 years can change, and how many new yarns you've tried and reviewed. I still miss the Unforgettable.

I love the blue in Red Heart Ormbre. Made a beautiful shawl. It was $7 something at Wal-Mart.

I love unforgettable but also love homespun, as well as thread. Currently doing mosaic crochet in thread. It’s good that everyone has different favourites, it would be bad if everyone likes the same yarn, it would be a boring world. Different tastes is good

25+ years ago a came into quite a quandary when I came across beautiful layette set patterns with directions for both yarn and thread. The thread patterns were far more beautiful but they worked up more quickly with yarn. I went ahead and made it in thread because it was so pretty but it felt like it took forever and a day. Definitely need other WIPs nearby when working on thread projects and keep the thread projects nearby because it's not something one is itching to get back to. Another issue with thread is the hook size needed is so small I ended up wrapping the handle in duct tape to make it easier to grasp.

The Unforgettable yarn made me soooo angry when I crocheted with it because if I wanted to rip out a row, it was simply impossible.

Homespun looks great for stuffed animal crochet and knit projects. imagine it as a teddy bear!

I love Unforgettable too. I'm crocheting a scarf with some right now. I actually love the lighter weight yarns especially because I knit mittens and socks on size 1 needles.
