Elise, I've wanted to do a video liked this for a while. So glad you did. I love several of Hobby Lobby yarns. I always wait for them to go on 30% off, they are usually well stocked and most are made in Turkey. I actually prefer I Love this Yarn for amigurumis. Sometimes I add mohair. But it has washed well for my granddaughter's toy I've made. If I want a crisper stitch definition I'll use I Love This Cotton. I love the range of colors, it's soft yet sturdy. I have been trying to find the DMC you like. Remind me where you get it. I've used Breathe Deep and I actually have a hard time finding my stitches in the lighter colors and I feel I need to go with a smaller hook to keep the stitches closer. I have however made clothes with this for my bunnies and bears to change up the texture. It'll be interesting to see your follow up on it. I have never even thought of alpaca twist. I will now. I think it would be lovely. Also, keep trying the soft and sleek. I love this yarn even better than Premiers no pill because of it's price point, yardage and it fills in better. They've added more colors over the years because I do think it's a best seller. I've used it on my amigurumis with a 3.75-4mm and I've also added mohair. Maybe that would help they way it feels in your hands? I'm not sure. To me it's easy to work with but it may not be for everyone. Honestly what I love best is how well it holds up to play and washing. I try to spot clean as best as I can, but sometimes they just need the gentle cycle. I use a laundry bag, gentle soap but they come out great. Have a wonderful weekend and loved this video so much.

I just want to add that I love the "I Love This Yarn" Cotton as well! I've tried other cotton yarns and have always felt that it was hard on my hands and joints as well, but I don't seem to have a problem with the "I Love This Yarn" Cotton. It's a lot softer than other cotton yarns!

Hi Elise! I love most of Hobby Lobby yarn, but the one that looks like chenille was terrible when I made some soft booties for my boss' wife who has kidney cancer. Her chemo was causing the bottom of her feet to become raw. As I worked with the yarn, the soft tufts would fall out and leave just a thin thread. I returned the unused skeins and tossed the one I used. I love the "I Love This Yarn" and "I Love This Cotton." I enjoy walking through Hobby Lobby even if I don't need anything! Wishing you a blessed and Happy Easter 🐣 !

Wow! This is such a helpful video. I used a yarn from hobby lobby on my first Amigurumi project because it’s what I had on hand and it wasn’t great. Looking back, after using some really nice yarns I dislike it even more. I noticed they had beautiful colors recently but I was too scared to try them so I really appreciate you testing out so many different yarns! I hate that there aren’t any nice yarn shops where I live because I really enjoy going and looking in person, feeling the yarns, holding them against each other to see what looks nice together. I pretty much always order online. 😊

I love Hobby Lobby’s yarns! I have not tried any amigurumi with them yet (i usually use Sugar N Cream cotton yarn, especially for pet toys). I made a really gorgeous granny square cardigan using the 44th Street. I doubled up the strands, which gave it a bit more strength and brought it to a “not quite medium, but heavier than light” yarn feel. I also really love the Soft & Sleek collection - using it for my temperature blanket this year!

I have been binge watching your videos from 2 to 3 years ago so you can imagine how excited I was to find this current video. I love your videos so much. You're the tops on amigurumi. You have taught me so much. Thank you!!!!!!

I use the yarn bee comfy “pantyhose” yarn on some toys but LOVE it for sewing toys together and embroidery! It’s the perfect thickness!

I used the HobbyLobby Yarn Bee Sugarwheel 100% cotton with great results on Amigurumi bunnies & chicks for Easter. It’s a 3 weight & comes in some nice colors. Surprisingly I also usedI Love this Cotton (it’s a 4 weight) with very good results too.

I’m making a top with the 44th Street yarn. I mostly chose it because I love the colors and it is so soft. It’s a granny stitch and I love how it’s coming out.

If you don't mind the tonal variation of the colors, I absolutely love the way that Yarn Bee Sweet Divinity works up. It is soft, strong, and has great stitch definition. 80% acrylic, 20% nylon, 3.5 oz, 243 yards. During their 30% off sale, it costs $3.84. great review!

I really loved this video…. thanks very much for taking the time to do it all:). I have a wee tip for you and maybe viewers will like it too. I always have two bags at hand, one with an easy crotchet project….. at the moment it’s daisy granny squares …. The second bag has a knitting project….. baby blanket for eg. So, if I’m deeply engrossed in whatever happens to be my ‘important’ project and my hands become a bit ‘cranky’, I can change it out. I find this helps my hands a lot and also further up my arms. The benefit is also that you have 2 on-going projects that will be finished before you can say ‘knitted blanket’🥰.

I LOVED this video! When I was first learning to crochet, and to be honest, still today, I was and am often overwhelmed by all of the beautiful yarn options and when I discovered amigurumi, I was always looking for advice on the 'right' yarn to use! I think this topic is so relevant to most of us fiber fiends out here in terms of useful consumer information and, let's be honest, most of us LOVE yarn so this is not only helpful but fun to watch! I for one would love to watch more videos of you testing yarns specifically for amigurumi! Thanks for this topic!!!

Thank you for doing this video! I love that you took the guess work out of what yarn I need for my next toy if I get it from Hobby Lobby. We have a one of those stores close by so I can just pick it up real quick or order it with confidence. I especially appreciate that you mentioned which yarns make your hand tired as I have pain in my hand when I use certain yarns. That info is especially valuable to me. It would be nice if you were hired to test yarns for a yarn company. 💕💕

Wow. I learned so much from this video. I had no idea that different yarns could add to my hand fatigue.

"I Love This Yarn" is one of my go-tos for amigurumi. You can't beat the color range and price! I haven't tried the alpaca twist but have drooled over it several times. I might have to pick some up and give it a go. I made a shawl with the Warm and Cozy and it's divine! I don't think I've ever seen Breathe Deep in my local stores (there are five near me), but I might have just missed it. 44th Street is SO soft, but I definitely think it's better suited to a shawl or wrap than anything else. I'll have to pick up some Soft & Sleek, as well. I love that they have their yarn at 30% off every other week and now they've started having their crochet hooks and knitting needles at 50% off every other week. I think it's just the Yarnology ones, but still! At the moment I'm making the Anna Lucia shawl and using Lion Brand Mandala in Niffler..the colorway is so pretty! Happy Easter! Oh, if you look at the row of boxes that has the care instructions, the weight of the yarn is in the first box.

Thank you for this! I have been thinking about trying the Yarn ID because of the colors it comes in. My go to is "I Love This Cotton". It is so soft! My girls love their dolls made with it☺

Im going to also give a vote for the I Love This Cotton. I have a hard time with cotton because of arthritis, but have no fatigue issues at all with this. It has beautfiul stitch definition and so many colors.

I really enjoyed this type of video! I knit instead of crochet and haven’t taken the plunge into amigurumi quite yet but I’ve been frustrated with the past few skeins of yarn I’ve used for various reasons, and since I get 95% of my yarn from Hobby Lobby I felt this was very relevant haha! I’d love to see this as a series where you test out some from Hobby Lobby, Michael’s, other craft stores, the most popular lines from online yarn stores, etc.

Hello-I was in HobLob today and noticed that the weight category of the yarns can be found on the labels. There is a line of boxes of info like machine wash, and other stuff. The very left most box on that line has a skein graphic with the weight in it. I hope you can find it based on this description 😃!

I’m new to Amigurumi and this video was so helpful. I love Hobby Lobby and use their “I Love This Yarn” for many projects, but didn’t have a direction for other yarns for toy making. So, I’ve made my list and checked it twice for my next yarn haul. I just have to get through the next long week waiting for the sale ☹️ Thank you Elise for your time so I can get right to crocheting 🧶

I love hobby lobby yarn, I use baby bee sweet delight for my amigurumi it's very soft and workable too.

Thank you so much for this yarn review!!! I appreciate someone reviewing at a local store with affordable prices!!!! You go girl shopping sale week!!! I don’t just talk to my pup…I take her with me 🐾🥰. She’s my sweet 13 year old rescue 🥰🥰

This was so entertaining!!! However, up here in Canada, we unfortunately do not have a Hobby Lobby 😢. Would you consider doing a video testing Michaels yarns for Amigurumi??? Love your content ❤️

Thank you for this awesome video. I buy my yarn at Hobby Lobby as often as I can get there. I like the stork struck and soft and sleek baby yarns. By the way a girl I know that works at Hobby Lobby told me the yarn goes on sale every other week and the fabric goes on sale the opposite week. Love your posts.

I’ve made 15-20 amigurumi animals with the Soft and Sleek yarn and I love working with it. I have discovered, though, that the tighter my tension, the stiffer the animal, so I’m constantly keeping myself in check! 😁

Hobby Lobby does have the yarn weight on the label, it's just not exactly large or where we may be used to finding it. It is under the fiber content at the start of the row with the washing instructions symbols.

Thank you Elise.. This podcast was very helpful because we have a Hobby Lobby here for yarns and this will be helpful when I pick out yarns. FYI. I have put my cotton bunny together. working on trousers and sweater. Mine has a lot of mistakes, but that OK. This was my 1st amigrumi. I will be making another one.

I used lost loft for amigurumi butterfly and I loved that you couldn't see the stitches and had a halo. t did not hold up though like the shape its very flexible. I adore yarn id in my hands it feels amazing to m,e. I used it for a bpusheen cat ami and it came out fabulous!

Thank you! Thank you, for this! I just traveled over 5000 miles & excitingly visited a Hobby Lobby (None in Alaska😢)and absolutely drooled over the yarn selections, BUT, “right” no #’s on the yarn labels, I was SO frustrated. This helped immensely!! ❤

Just tried I Love This Cotton to make an amigurumi bunny with cute droopy drawers im designing and it's absolutely my new favorite yarn. One of the best results ive ever achieved! Im making another one and will no doubt use this yarn almost exclusively in future!! (Its not stretchy but it is soft.) Wish it came in more colors, but the range is pretty decent.

I just got done using the comfy classics to make some ballerinas and they turned out so cute! I love the stretch to that yarn and I think it works up beautifully! Love your review of these yarns, I’m excited to try the alpaca twist and yarn ID

I'm really surprised that you didn't try I love this yarn since there's almost an entire aisle worth of colors. I really like Hobby Lobby yarns. Their hand dyed superwash merino is so nice and affordable too especially when you shop sale weeks. Also, Hobby Lobby definitely has #2 weight yarns.

I love Joann’s. I order my yarn 🧶 online the then pick up the same day. Most of the time I can get 15% when I do that. When I pick it up it is ready for me.

Hi Elise! I love your videos. You turned me on to the Pica Pau amigurumi and I made 18 of them over the course of the last year all in Hobby Lobby I Love This Cotton. It made very tight crisp toys. But you are right, cotton is hard on the joints!

This was super fun 🤩! I live in the UK Elise, and we don’t have any hobby lobby stores - but this was super interesting to see the different yarns from hobby lobby and how unique they are ! The colours are just gorgeous!! 🥰🧶

The Yarn Bee yarn "Baby Bee" is really good for crochet clothes. I don't knit, so I don't know how it would do for knitted clothes. It's stretchy, soft, and comes in super pretty colors!

Great video! My number one complaint about HL yarns in general is the color selection, rarely you see more than one shade of a color, for example the “I love this cotton” has one shade of pink which is not my favorite shade. I wish we had more yarn selection here in the US. Although you can always order pretty much anything online, it’s good to know that if you need something you can simply go to a store to buy it. I personally like to see and feel before buying. Love your channel! 🧶 💕

Hello Elise, Thank you for the video on Hobby Lobby yarn samples. I so enjoy and have learned so much from your videos. Recently I have ventured from amigurumi (I made your pigs and wolf) to blankets and just recently finished a blanket by Eleonora at Coastal Crochet.. I did the CAL from last year and just worked on my own for the last 8 weeks. I so loved the blanket journey.. She has You Tube videos to help and this was very enjoyable and my cup of tea. Eleonora lives in the UK. For the pattern Picnic on the Beach the yarn was Stylecraft Special DK. This now is my go to yarn. I always used worsted weight but now I enjoy DK for the easy weight feel. .Never thought I would use acrylic yarn but now I'm home. Blessed Easter

My favorite HL yarn for amigurumi is their I Love This Cotton! It’s a medium 4. It moves through my hook so smoothly and it’s a super sturdy yarn. They stand up to kiddos playing really well!

I loved this video! Thank you so much for reviewing these yarns and specifically testing them for Amigurumi. Your opinion is valued and much appreciated. Happy Easter! 🐇🐰🐣🐥

I tried the pearl spun by yarn bee, the other day for the head only and really liked it.

I love this video! So helpful! I have used the Hobby Lobby I Love This Yarn and I Love This Cotton for a while now, and they are great too! Also, they have a few other ones like Coton Et Lin which is nice, and a Touch of Silk (I think it's called), which is pretty. I'm always surprised at the amount and colors they have too. Always a good go to place for yarn!

I really appreciated your thoughts on this yarn. I got hooked (har har) on Debbie Cashmerino and Berroco Vintage because of your video so I was really interested to see what your thoughts were. I'm bummed out that many of these didn't quite fit the bill. The range of colors were so impressive that I was really hoping for more success! I have a Michaels closer to me and there isn't a huge range of color choices at mine. I would have been willing to make the drive for some of these at Hobby Lobby if they had worked better for you. I am pleased that the 100% polyester ones were positive though! I might grab some because that's what I always buy from Michaels and absolutely love them. So kind to the hands and joints! Thank you for doing this, Elise!xx

My first time watching you. I just started back crocheting and I am looking for someone that I will love on You Tube, enjoying their style. You fit perfectly so about to binge. Thanks

your voice is so relaxing when i was watching this on my bed i instantly fell asleep

I just made a big order for yarn from Hobby Lobby. I’m so sorry I didn’t know about the frequent 30% off sales. I’m making mittens for Mittens for Detroit. I won’t need more yarn for mittens for a while. However, I think you’ve convinced me to try amigurumi. They look like fun. These reviews will be helpful as I get into the sport of amigurumi.

I used to make teddy bears and the best fabric is alpaca, it gives the warmth right back to you. 100% cuddle + time. I'll have to try that yarn :))

I really like the 'I Love This Yarn' acrylics for amigurumi, I'm sure their cottons could be good for it as well!

My favorite Hobby Lobby yarn is the Alpaca Twist. It’s so beautiful. I’ve only knitted the Little Cotton Rabbits bunnies with it & they are so precious 😍 I’ve used the Lace Doilies, Silver & Charcoal. I love them all 🥰 Also, I knitted some clothes for them with the 44th street yarn and yes, it’s a little tedious to use, but the clothes are lovely. I used a single strand, so it’s very fine, but worth the patience. The size of the yarn is on each label, but it’s super tiny, but it’s there. These eyes need reading glasses to see it 😂🤓 Hobby Lobby yarns are my favorite. Thanks for sharing! I also have a video about Amigurumi on my channel. You’ve inspired me! Happy Easter and God bless you and your family 🥰🙏🏻🌸💖✝️

I crocheted a hat for my grand daughter from the mini set. It turned out great and she loved it!

Bamboo-tiful is soft and good stitch definition! And I like Urban Chic! ( both s.3) 😊 Only wish Urban Chic offered more colorways as well as solid colors. 😕 Glad you tried some Hobby Lobby yarns. Thanks, Elise!

This is good information especially since Hobby Lobby is where I do the bulk of my yarn shopping. I actually crocheted my daughter in law’s friend a baby blanket out of the Yarn bee in blush.

I always say bye to my kitty before leaving and when I come home I let her know I’m back along with some kisses 😂 she’s aloof throughout it all 😂

Great reviews! Thank you for sharing. A long while back, Yarn Bee had a yarn with 20% alpaca and I made two knit sweaters with it. I still have them and they are soft and warm. Perfect sweaters for winter.

Great video! Besides cotton, I have used Patons Classic Wool to make Pica Pau Murray the Sea Otter. Alan Dart used an acrylic yarn for his creations. After I use up my cotton, I will look into acrylics to help with my trigger fingers. Would love to see your thoughts on the yarns Michaels and Joann sells. Caron Simply Soft my go to for blankets and hats, but is probably too soft for Amigurumi.

I enjoy making doll with DK weight yarn and/or light weight yarns with 2 5.mm hook and surprisingly my favorite yarn is Yarntopia. It's labeled as a #2 BUT it works up more like a #3 DK weight. It's glides across the hook. It has a wonderful shine and smooth, soft feel but sturdy to work with. Try it as least once. $3.49 on sale, 100% Acrylic, 312 yards, 4 oz, labeled as a #2 fine. Yes it's fine but a thicker fine more like a light #3. I have evey color and some 2 of that color. I love it!!!!

I've had this video in my que for a while. It's been a crazy few months and now that things are settled i'm ready to get my crochet on again. My beef with Hobby Lobby is that they have totally done away with almost every other brand and all you can find is that Yarn Bee. I remember back in the day they would stock many different brands. Now i drive about 65 miles to get to one of the last remaining independent yarn shops in the Houston area. That shop has so much diversity. So many brands. It's a bit overwhelming but the selection is phenomenal. I'm really glad you did this video because i wouldn't mind using their yarn but up until now i just didn't have any idea about performance. I'll definitely be trying a few of your recommendations 🙂

Elise, thank you for doing this yarn review. It was nice to hear your thoughts on the different yarn.

Loved this video idea! I’m still trying to use up the Red Heart yarn my grandma gave me years ago but I’ve been eager to find new quality yarns to phase into.

Thank you for this video. I have a lot of these yarns, and have not tried them for Amigurumi. Great information 👍🏻

I use I Love This Yarn. I made a ballerina mouse and a Koala, it turned out good. Thay have a lot of colors. It strong. I pull hard on the to close the ring. I'm makeing a popcorn flower blanket.,now. With 16 popcorn stitches you must pull hard.

Great video! I love the Hobby Lobby “I Love this Yarn” ~ I would have loved to hear your thoughts on that one. Also, I love Big Twist at Joann. They are basic and inexpensive but work well for me.

This is so funny that you posted this video becuase yesterday I went to hobby lobby and got a bunch of skiens of "I love this yarn"! after trying a lot of acrylic yarns, the "I love this yarn" is hands down my favorite for amigurumi :) You should do a video comparing differnt value acrylic yarns like red heart super saver, Joann's big twist value, Premier basix, and I love this yarn. I try to stay away from specialty yarns when it comes to amigurumi because my comfort zone is acrylic and plush velvet yarn.

Thank you for this video! I’ve used a couple of these and agree with you. I’m afraid I have become a yarn snob.! I love Berroco and Debbie Bliss baby cashmarino thanks to you!

Hi Elissa. Love what you are doing. Please give us more on which is the best yarn for crocheting crops and light soft dresses. I'm in SA, and it's difficult to get good supplies since Covid-19.

Wooooowwww! So much yarn! I live in Spain and I’ve never ever been into a shop or a mall with that amount of yarn! In fact, malls do not sell yarn! Now I envy you! 😂

I literally just went to hobby lobby yesterday for my amigurumi project and picked up two of the brands you tested!!What great timing for this video! 😄 I got yarn ID for the first time( love the colors; they need more) and another new one was the soft and sleek. I normally get “I love this yarn” for amigurumi. It works up great, strong, doesn’t feel much like budget yarn (I hate plastic feeling yarn), it’s 355 yarns for just over $3 every other week with the 30% off yarn sale, comes in 65 colors, and easy on the joints. Best thing about it is that it’s easily accessible right down the road. Anyway, thanks so much for this video because I considered most of these yarns you tested and now I have a better idea of what I’ll be willing to try. Forgot to mention: hobby lobby does have a sport weight with solid colors called yarn bee yarntopia. It only comes in 16 colors but they are pretty. They also have yarn bee cozy toes (but the colors are not solid and yarn bee authentic hand dyed alpaca yarn (more expensive and not many color options). Hope that helps.

I was surprised at some of your responses 🙂. I use the sweet minis for amigurumi a lot and love it. I make smaller amigurumi than you do and I only crochet ( I can only handle one tool at a time 😄). I use the Yarn Bee Romantique for wearable. It is so so soft! Thank you for this tutorial! It is frustrating that more of their yarns don't come in more colors. I do like the muted pastels they have 🙂

Thank you so much for all your bright, uplifting (and informative) videos. You always manage to brighten my day and I always look forward to new ones. Also rewatch older ones often too. Hope your Easter is happy and peace filled. 🐑🐣🐇

As someone with access to Hobby Lobby and not much else, I don't love most Yarn Bee stuff. Their acrylic hurts my hands really bad, and I'm not impressed with the quality. I Love This Yarn (the basic acrylic) feels much nicer to me and doesn't hurt my hands, and I Love This Cotton is a great cotton yarn (though I prefer mercerized cotton for amigurumi). It's always so interesting to see how different crafters feel about yarns that don't work for me and ones that do!

Very good info about good amigurumi yarn. I love most of the Hobby Lobby yarn, and I have not had a problem finding the yarn weights o the labels. I do wish they would carry more solid colors in sock yarn, but their color choices are usually great in orhers. I dont make many amigurumi, but use their I Love This Yarn and I Love This Cotton yarns for shawls and afghans. Love your amigurumis!

I just had a few of the ones you didn't like in my cart this week!! 👀I was so indecisive that I didn't buy any, I'm so glad I just watched this so I know what to not pick when I go back! haha You picked the best colors!

Thank you so much for this yarn review Elise. I have never used any of these Hobby Lobby yarns but I think I will give some of your top choices a try. I have only used the I Love This Yarn by Hobby Lobby. I like it because of all the color choices and it is a great price and so soft. I have made several Amigurumi toys with it and find it to be easy in my hands and not splitty. I love the stitch definition and how strong it is when sewing the pieces together. One of the light yarns you mentioned 44th street might be good for knitting socks. My husband can't tolerate wool socks which I love to knit. So I might try that for his socks. I hope you follow up this video with a Part 2 after you have made some animals and clothes for them with these yarns. If you do please rate them 1-2-3 in order of your favorites. Again, thanks so much for this very informative video. :)

Hi Elise, I buy HL yarns often. I really like several for amigurumis. 1. I love this yarn it's a basic acrylic and very affordable, lots of colors and feels a little thicker than 4 I've worked with but it blends those fibers so will within the stitch. B if that makes sense. There's tons of colors. They are strong. And the wash will. I can say the same thing about I love this cotton. I love this yarn. If you like real tight stitch definition. It's sleek. Got tons of colors. It's a thinner four. The fresh Haven I've made rabbits with. You may end upvl liking it lmk

I appreciate this information very much. I will be making a list to carry for shopping trips. You have saved me money and frustration. Thank you.

I live in a small town where Hobby Lobby is the closest yarn store. I absolutely agree about Studio 72. I was disappointed because the linen color is perfect and I haven’t found a match elsewhere. However, I use Soft & Sleek regularly for crocheted toys and like the finished products quite a bit. As mentioned, the color selection is strong and it is not at all “splitty.” It has a good structure and stitch definition and doesn’t hurt my hands like cotton.

Hi Elise! I love watching your videos! Thank you! I love this review on these yarns I have yet to try. I don't know if anyone else commented but there is one #2 weight yarn from Hobby Lobby. I haven't tried it but it's an acrylic in 16 colors called Yarn Bee Yarntopia Yarn.

Thank you for doing HL yarn. They only have their own yarns how. I never found a problem finding the weight in the labels. Thank you again.

This is one of my favorite videos. Your testing is saving me much time and headaches!! Love it!🙋‍♀️💗🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I love the sugarwheel cotton and wish it came in more colors!

Another great video! 💕 Thanks for the info on Comfy Classic…I was actually going to pick some up today for a tank top…I think I’ll use something else now. I’ve never had a problem finding the yarn weight on Hobby Lobby yarn. I DO have to wear my glasses when I go because I can’t read that tiny print.🤣

ive snapped so many types of yarn. aunt Lydia thread is pretty strong.

Try the I Love This Yarn at Hobby Lobby. Lots of colors and great for crocheting and knitting. It’s my go to for crocheting baby blankets

Sooo very helpful! I bought a hank of their alpaca and man was it tough to frog. I had even made the pattern before but was making it larger...was a pixie hat for my grandaughter. THANKS for sharing! ang, WA State 👩‍🦳🇺🇸

Oh, I want a pool of yarn to fall into! I really don't know what I would do with myself in a store like Hobby Lobby, a dream yet to come true. Those yarns are gorgeous and i loved the colors, but what I really loved more was ... seeing again your adorable knitted bunny! Have you given her a name? She is the reason I started knitting again after ages... and, guess what, it's a bunny. 😊 BTW, those thicker yarns you didn't like crocheting, you can use as doll hair. Looks lovely! For the fluffy yarns you can't see the stitches, try using a slightly bigger hook and reserve it for toys you don't have to stuff tightly. Just some things I picked up on the way. 💕

oh, how i miss Hobby Lobby. We don't have them here in Denmark, but i would love to come back and shop to my hearts contend

I love going to Hobby Lobby to look at all the yarn 🧶❤️ we just recently got a yarn store not far from where I live, so currently I buy my yarn from them. Have a great Easter weekend 🐇🐣🐰🧶…. Karen from Greenleaf Idaho

Hi Elise, the only yarn in your demo that I've used for amigurumi is the "Warm and Cozy" like you I LOVED the colors and thought "Parment" would make a really cute Easter Bunny; however, Iran into the same problems with it that you mentioned. I had to work with it only during daylight because it was so hard to see the stitches. I do own some of the other yarns in your review but haven't used them yet.

I picked soft and sleek weight 4 for my next project. I am making a bat for my daughter from animal friends of pica pau book (also you recommendation) . I will try the alpaca yarn next. Thank you for this video. I really love to buy yarn at a store. I love to touch the yarn I buy.

Great presentation. Thank you

I so appreciate this video! I love Hobby Lobby, love all the decor and love the multiple craft offerings, but when they transitioned from mainstream yarn brands to mostly their brand, I had trouble shopping there. I make to gift and make to last, and never really found a HL yarn that didn't pill, even the low-pill line. When I make an heirloom quality baby blanket, I don't want to have to include a lint shaver in the gift bag. I make swatches and "live with them", carrying them in my pocket to see how long they stay pretty. I was very interested in seeing your take on HL yarns. We now live an hour from our closest HL, but I may pick up the ones you're willing to give a chance next time I'm there. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I can't wait to see how your experiment turns out.

I try to buy yarn from Hobby lobby before and you are so right the colors are beautiful but they do not have the weight on there and the numbers and I two drives me crazy so I really don’t go to Hobby lobby anymore and to buy yarn but I love your reviews and I was paying close attention to what you like and what you didn’t like since you already did the work I might give it a try again Thank you for your video

If you like Breathe Deep also try Bernat Bundle Up and Lion Brand Feels Like Butta. I love using them for amigurumi. Also Hobby Lobby does include their yarn weights in MICRO on the labels. It is below the box of info and inside a drawing of a microscopic skein of yarn. If you have a magnifying glass (lol) you can see it.

Thanks for this video. I need direction as to what yarns to use as I am new to Amigurumi, and your Three Little Pigs and Not So Big bad Wolf patterns are the first patterns I've ever purchased. I went to my local Hobby Lobby and was overwhelmed by the yarn choices. I did not get any of the ones you tried, but I did get the Yarn Bee Nature's Nook. I loved the colors although not many to choose from. The Bare Blush is 3.5 oz, 180 yds and is 54% Acrylic, 28% Lyocell and 18% Flax. I like using it (with my 3.5mm hook) but it is a little splitty and has texture that has some pokey bits of what I assume is the flax. Not so sure it would be a good toy to be played with by a tiny tot. I look forward to trying your recommendations in the future.

Ohhh your videos are so informative , thank you 😍. I loved watching this review so much even if we don't have any Hobby lobby shops. Keep up the good work, you're great 👍🏻💖

Elise, the wreath behind your head makes you look kind of like Freya with a Yule circlet. I think its beautiful. I hope you don't find this comment offensive, I love your decorations.

Hi, the weight of the yarn is a little yarn skein symbol on the label that has a number of the weight in the middle. :) hopes this helps. I actually saw it on the label in one of your shots, it’s pretty small so I can see how you missed it. Great video!

They do label all their yarn for the size. All the yarn I've ever bought from hobby lobby the size is on there. It is right below the little graph telling about the fiber. It's next to the washing instructions. You have to hunt for a little bit, but it's there

I'm a cotton sort of gal when it comes to amigurumi. I have some of their I Love This Cotton that I need to try out still, I have heard good things!

Hi Elise...thank you so much...perfect timing for a planned trip to Hobby Lobby 👍🛒
