Just started the video and had to say, that hat/ yarn is gorgeous!!! My kinda colors! Ok, back to the video! Lol

I happened across your video this morning and wanted to say thank you for the information. Many factors, mainly age, have me in a position of buying almost everything online these days and I’ve made some disastrous mistakes with yarn so I really appreciate the information you’ve offered here.

Cranberry and “strawberry pink” are two different colors 😂 I am absolutely in love with that hat. Great tips!

Can’t beat Joann’s Big Twist! It’s my favorite.

Wool and co is one of my favorites. They have a ton of variety, a whole range of prices, and some hard-to-find European dyers

Love these suggestions, Shannon. You have converted my yarn shopping habits completely. I’m now so much happier with my stash and purchase intentionally. Thank you! 🩵🧶🩵

It's a toss-up between Herrschner's and Mary Maxim. And a surprise source is Office Supply. I needed a particular colorway of a DK Premier yarn and no one had it in stock except Office Supply. And at a good price. Very clean, well packaged and timely delivery. I get other items from there as well so it's a bit too easy to order for my stash LOL!

I ordered from Herrshnerrs and it was a good experience but now I get 3-4 emails a day! Had to unsubscribe several times. 😮 Gotta tell us what yarn your hat is made with. Love it!

I love hearing about the different stores you have in the US 🧶And your sale yarn prices always sound so good!

Appreciate your evaluation of online yarn stores. Thank you! Also love your hat!!!❤

I really like the color of yarn used for your hat. I dicovered Herrshnerrs years ago and the are a great source for yarn. Mary Maxim and Premier Yarns are also great online yarn retailers for affordable yarns - and Premier's weekly yarn deals can be awesome. Unfortunately, they don't have shipping deals that often. For more premium yarns, Webs and Fab yarns have both worked well for me.

WOOL WAREHOUSE is tops in my book. I have been able to order hard to find pieces to augment my Tulip Travel C interchangeable knitting needle set at reasonable prices. That was my start point and then I began ordering yarn because it was well priced yarn with VERY reasonable and quick shipping to me in Boston. I recently ordered from Knit Picks only because of their sale and may have been free ship too. I had very bad experiences with online Joanne’s. It took 2X’s in my earlier knitting days before I swore off even shopping in their stores. During covid I discovered a great LYS that ships/delivers including great clearance discounts so that is my first shop solution to keep business local. Great video

Yep, love that Herrschners yarn! I'm never disappointed when I order from them. Can't say that with confidence about Joann.

You literally cannot beat I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby. Every other week its only 3.49 for their bi-weekly 30% off yarn sale, and is THE best quality acrylic. And the fact that it's cheaper than red heart Super Saver and big twist, it's such an unbelievable quality, cannot be beat. Red Heart isn't real soft, and big twist gets very fuzzy and it splits, you can feel that it's cheap

Another wonderful video, TY Shannon! Your gentle, sensible & kind presence is so comforting to me 🥰 I enjoyed hearing your take on all these companies. The only one I haven’t tried from your top 4 list is KnitPicks. I think your videos have helped me be more discerning and avoid the huge temptation to shop for yarn when I see haul videos etc. I have developed quite a stash (which isn’t outrageous in and of itself, but it is too big for my small space… ) So I am determined to work through it + I am also going to be gifting some of it. I’m sure from time to time, I may need something specific. (I will definitely be trying Wool warehouse, I would like to make my Sophie‘s universe using, one of those UK DK yarns!) Thanks again dear ✌️

Thanks Shannon. I appreciate your vetting. I like lion brand and wasn’t aware if going straight to their site. I’m a fan of knitpicks so was happy to hear they’re part of your list. I will investigate wool warehouse..excited about that. Sending a wooly hug! 🧶❤️☮️

Hi I always forget Knit Picks. Thx for mentioning them. That yarn is stunning. I'm going to check it out 😊

Going to Herrschner's company store is on my bucket list . I am in northern-ish Minnesota and it is still like 10 hours away .

We crochet is knit picks sister. The so called crochet side but they have awesome non wool yarn and great accessories. I love them both.

I'm team Herrschners too. And the sports yarns are called MVP. ps. LOVE your beanie!

The only place online I buy yarn from is Knit Picks. I love their yarns. Gloss lace weight is very reasonable in price for my budget. I live where the only place that sells yarn is Walmart and JoAnn's Fabrics.

Hi Shannon! Great suggestions! I really want to try ordering from wool warehouse 😊

Hi Shannon 🤗 I’ll have to check out the Wool Warehouse! Thank you for sharing! 🥰🧶🤩

I love Herrschners yarn too. They are about 5 ish hours away from me - it made a good weekend roadtrip last fall.

I like Herrschner's, I've gotten some great deals on yarn there. I'll definitely check out the Wool Warehouse, I hadn't heard of them before.

Thanks for your suggestions-I have successfully shopped at all the online companies you mentioned. I was fascinated with that Halloween Chroma yarn! Aside from the great video-what yarn did you use for your hat? I love it! Again, thank you for the useful information.

Knitpicks and we crochet are the same company. But we crochet has a free shipping threshold of $45. And 2x a year they have a major sales.i also like Hobbii from Denmark, good quality yarn, lots of sales and you can add a coupon on top. But I have to say I love little knits small us based business where you can buy luxury yarn for sale price. If I want to be indulgent I would buy from expression fiber arts. Good sales bin where you can also add coupons. ❤️

Great video, informative. I need to check out the Wool warehouse. Thanks for making this video.

PS: thanks for sharing with us the color combinations for your fab hat! I def have deep teal yarn, I could double it up and combine it with an earth tone variegated, all of which I have in my wonderful stash. Yay!

Thanks for the info! I've been trying to find a good way to get Drops yarn and I hadn't checked out wool warehouse.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Tells us not to feel influenced to buy more yarn.... adds yarn to cart. Lol I have been searching for a good Halloween themed yarn and All Hallows is totally it! Thank you!!! Also did you know that wecrochet is the same as knitpicks except more crochet friendly?

I enjoyed hearing about your shopping charges. i totally agree with you about Lion Brand's website providing a color description of the yarn. i always use it as a reference point before i order their yarn. i definitely am interested in trying out Herschner's afghan yarn.

ditto... I'm on super saving club at herrschners... and I just put in a lion brand order... great video

I just watched you for the first time. As far as on-line stores, I would add Jimmy Beans Wool and Webs to your list. For me, after some indie dyers, my top 3 in no order are Knit Picks, Jimmy Beans Wool, and Webs. To me, they are interchangeable based on what I am looking for. All 3 have a wide variety of price points as well as selections a a variety of yarns from acrylics to cotton to linen to wool and any combo in between.

Love your colors.❤

Great video with lots of useful info. I agree about Herrschners. I can't believe how many colors they have. Your hat and top look perfect on you. Great colors for your skin tone. I would guess your top is cranberry. I don't know how they got pink for cranberry. I have also ordered from ICE yarns. I bought some really pretty variegated that was on clearance. Even with the higher shipping it came out to be a very low price per yard. It only took 4 days to get to my front door all the way from Turkey. JoAnn usually takes 2 weeks no matter what I order. The catch is you have to order a certain quantity that is prepackaged. Lets say it comes 4 skeins in a pack, but I need 5. I would have to buy 2 packs totaling 8 skeins. So it could be more costly if you don't have a project that takes the same amount of yardage that a pack contains.

I like wool and company. Out of Illinois. They have an amazing selection of some really quality yarns

I will see what's up with Wool Warehouse. The others carry a lot of acrylic, if you're into that.

Thanks Shannon 😊

Quick FYI about Lion Brand: if you don't like excessive email spam, do *not* give Lion Brand permission to send you 'deals'. I've gotten 9 non-order related emails in 7 days...

Love your program. Which is the yarn you used for the beany that you are eating please and where to get it, love the copper and blue combo Thanke

Thank you! I just bought 4 balls of the chroma!!

Just wondering what your favorite cotton yarn is when working with things like wash cloths, etc. I use Lily Sugar'n Cream, but it pills so bad after washing and drying.

I don’t see links to yarn sites in “more” section.

Knit Picks all the way! I never buy from them except during their big sales (one of which was just last week). They have a day where they mark certain types of yarn down to $2 or $4 each and I majorly stock up when they do that. Their yarns are beautiful quality and when you can get it for such a great price, its a no brainer for me. I generally don't buy yarn elsewhere and just save my money for the knit picks sales lol.

Wool Warehouse looks interesting - I like watching Retro Claude who is in England so she orders from there sometimes… neat to hear the shipping is good for North America also 👀

I really like love crafts value packs in the simply Aaron or simply DK

My name is Brenda, and I really appreciated your explanation of different places to buy yarn online. I’m wondering if you’ve ever ordered from TEMU or WISH?

Thank you for your video

The yarn is great. I am still stash busting and cannot get yarn now.

Thank you!

Mary Maxim and LindeHobby are very good also.

I love wool warehouse when I buy Drops yarn! It’s the best

In what world is "cranberry" pink? Who named that one? lol. My #1 is Wool Warehouse, 99% of the yarn I buy is from them. Occasionally, I order from JoAnn or Premier. I happened upon the Herrshcnerrs warehouse sale once on the way to a wedding, it was amazing. I don't order from them online. I had an order, over $200 (!) and it was lost in shipping, they refused to replace or refund my money. I was pretty pissed and swore never again.

I love the colors of your cap! What wool is this?

What is the yarn that your hat is made of? Its very pretty.

That Chroma is on sale right now.

I just came across your channel and really enjoy your recommendations and/or lists. Through many trial and errors over the years I have picked up far too many skeins/hanks of yarn. I have way too much yarn but still have that craving for just one more skein. I thank you for this list and agree with the value you’ve put on the list. I’ll just let my son spoil me those $30 hanks he brings me now and again, lol. By the way, do you know anything about these online clearances for JOANN’s that keep popping up. There is so many of them I’m actually afraid it’s some sort of hoax. Being a granny on a fixed income I need to be careful. I look forward to seeing more of your channel. Take care and may god bless you.

Do you have the pattern for your hat, it is very pretty❤

Never mind found three links.

Good deals my problem 🤦🏻‍♀️ now i got at least close to 400 pound of yarns 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

I am new to Shannon's channel. Does anyone know if Shannon has a sister named Emily? Shannon and Emily Noel (another You Tube channel) sound so much alike

How long ago was it that we were worried about JoAnn going out of business? Well, maybe you weren't worried... Anyhow, does it seem to you that they've closed warehouses and heavily stocked stores, so that's why orders are coming from everywhere?

Great video, but imo you apologize too much. Just do you! Thanks for the video ❤
