  • Thank-you so much for showing differences in yarn, and thanks for the heads up on the light stuff that looked heavy duty. I use red heart too, Its easy to work with, Im on the last arm of an xxl cable sweater for hubby, and dreaming of making me a nice sweater thats why I wanted to see the differences. Thanks so much happy knitting/crocheting:)

  • does the baby yarn work for begginners

  • @MegaGabyLOL You can learn with it, but it is smaller, so it may be more difficult to see the stitches.

  • I appreciate your tutorials so very much. I have been able to re-teach myself a lot of stuff such as how to crochet right handed (I learned from someone who is left handed) and so much more. I did however have one question about yarn for you. Is there any way to tell what gauge yarn you have without a label?

  • @cheza29 You can work out a swatch. After having some experience, you can approximate the gauges by feel & look, the same way an experienced cook can measure ingredients without a measuring spoon.

  • Sorry meant "yarn"

  • I have been sitting here watching your vids, "basic tut" with needle and 5oz bulk of yard ready to go. For my first purchase I brought Carson Simply Soft, yard, do you recommend? Cant wait to make first project. Thank you so much.

  • I had a big problem with different types of yarn, bu after watching your video, most of the confusion went away :))

    Thanks so much for such useful videos.

  • What's baby yarn? Thanks.

  • @MissLeigh78 Baby yarn can be any yarn manufactured for baby products. Some people inter change it with sport weight (#3) yarn or lighter. I have a #6 bulky yarn called Baby Clouds and i also have #2 fingering weight yarn that is considered a baby yarn.

  • @hotdog1997 I'm talking about Red Hearts 4-ply medium worsted weight yarn. They do a soft yarns too.

  • Great instructional video on different yarns!

  • I gotta get me some cool yarn like what you have

  • It's an addiction. I have a problem! I don't know if I never bought another skein of yarn that I could use up all i have! I think I'll have to do another contest soon and give away some of my stash! Shh! It's a secret! LOL!

  • lol well if you ever wanna give some to a new crocheter i will be more then happy to send you my address i have nothing right now

  • Hi Beth, I recently became a subscriber. You have a great channel. I love your videos!

    Wow you have the same taste in yarn as I do. My stash looks the same as yours! I DO have a Ton-O-crochet thread in in

  • Thank you! Your compliments are encouraging.

    One of my New Years resolutions is to do a major stash reduction.

  • Hi Beth, my message got cut off. What I wanted to say was, WOW, where did you get the RAYON crochet thread from? I haven't seen it since the 1980's. I crochet alot of doll clothing for fashion dolls, and feel the rayon would give such an elegant touch/feel to the clothing.

    Also I was curious, how do you STORE your threads and yarns? I store everything in vacum/zip lock bags to protect against dust and moths. Plastic storage containers still get dust inside and have holes so moths can get in.

  • Oh! LOL! I store some in the open air, others in pretzel jars that I got at Costco, still more is in plastic bags. The problem with plastic bags is that condensation can cause the yarn to mildew.

    The rayon is something I got at a thrift store and is likely from the 80's. Lily is now Elmore Pisgah. You can Google search for Rayon Crochet thread to find sellers. I know Shady Lane has some.

  • can you show how to the ends i am a verybasic crocheter right now and i am not sure how to do the ends when i like make something

  • Wonderful stuff Beth..keep them coming

  • Thanks!
