#crochet Hobbii #YarnReview #crochettutorial #crocheting

TLYC on YouTube is a crochet and craft enthusiast space where I share inspiration and education through tutorials for makers of all crochet skill levels. Since starting my creative business, I’ve been committed to exploring every nook and cranny of crochet and I’m excited to share my discoveries with you.

Stick around for crochet tips and tricks and even a few FREE#crochet crochet patterns.

As someone who does a lot of commission work, the idea of the colors being the same across different fibers is a dream come true. Knowing that I could make a piece in wool or cotton and it would turn out "exactly" the same. Plus that fingering cotton looks amazing for colorwork in knitting (esp for people who can't stand wool).

Amigurumi is my favorite genre of crochet, so I always recommend Hobbii's Rainbow cotton (and Friends Cotton). The color range is unmatched, amazing stitch definition and it's a real pleasure to work with. And I really wish all yarns would have a Start Tab; it's a no brainer! Thank you Toni for your awesome videos!

“Wooly halo” = how I am going to describe my morning hair from now on. 🤷🏽‍♀️😁 Thanks for such a thorough yarn review! I appreciate the time you took to share all of the info. 😊

This was a really helpful review overall! I found myself seeing the Friends line showing up on Hobbii recently, and feeling like I didn't "get" it. Now I definitely see what they were going for!

One extra thing I would have loved to see was a comparison with Hobbii's existing cotton line (the "Rainbow"). That's the one I've been mostly working with for amigurumi, etc., and it would be nice to see how it compares directly with the new options.

So excited to get to play more with this yarn, just got a job at Hobbii so I’ll definitely get to play with the different yarns!

Wow! I’ve been crocheting for 60+ years. I’m learning so much from you. Love your style. Not boring at all ❤😂🎉😊

[jessywest]

TONI ! I just had to tell you your hair looks freaking beautiful! There's nothing like changing up your look a bit to make you feel refreshed !! Much love girl! Love your yarn reviews!!!

[kimberlytheodore]

OMG! Didn’t expect your shout out 😊… I struggled with whether to order their Rainbow cotton 8/8 or Friends. Ordered before your video for a temperature blanket for my brother so when I reorder for a different project, I’m intrigued enough to try the Friends collection. 9i also ordered the mini skeins of Palette! I’m just now digging into your book so that I can learn the Tunisian stitches and then teach my daughters and granddaughters. I appreciate you! Kimmy ❤

Initially I thought the yarns were going to be named Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Joey + Chandler. Lol
I love the idea of colours matching across fibre blends. Sometimes you like a colour of a cotton yarn but want it for another project in wool. Less guess work.
Hair is 😍

I’ve been crocheting for 48 years! (Yes showing my age lol 😂
My grandmother taught me when I was 9 years old). I love your channel, in particular, I never miss a yarn snob review. I may have grown up in Detroit but a very rural Tennessee community is where I call home now. Its very difficult to drive very far to the nearest Joan’s store and I am on that wants to feel and see the yarn before I buy it for the most part. Your videos take away a lot of the guess work for me when I can’t go and physically buy the yarn.

Keep up the good work! I love you and look forward to all your videos.

Good morning

Thank you Toni love you energy

I'm sitting here (sleep deprived, half into my first cup of coffee) and I'm knitting up a strand of wool, a strand of extra-fine merino, and a strand of kid-silk, all in colour 70. Verdict? I love the fabric and I think it'll get even better with a wash and block. Downsides? Where's the alpaca, or more adventurous fibers? Where's the heavier weights of yarn? You've talked before about building a strategic stash - I would love for this to be a source to do such a thing with. But for now, I'm content with making myself my second scarf of the season. (Not to say I haven't made scarves this year...I have made...so many...I hope my local charity is grateful because it took a lot of work, but now people can be warm!)

I love Hobbii’s Rainbow cotton. It’s so soft and lovely to work with and is lovely when made up. If the Friends version is the same, with other yarns to match, colour wise, this range is going to be an absolute winner. I love your reviews and find them so informative. Thank you.

[barbara]

Hi Pretty lady, I always look forward to seeing your reviews. Love your new hairstyle, also your lovely scarves. You always ❤️ put a smile on my face.

[MoreTisha]

I cannot tell you how much I love you for this video! My shopping cart is filled with Friends' Superwash Merino Wool. I've never ordered from them but wanted to make a sweater for my teen son without breaking the bank. Because you literally answered all the questions I had in my head you gained a new fan and follower. Happy Holidays!

[TheHappyCamperStamper]

Thank you for the tip on mercerized cotton. I did not know the difference. Btw, you always look beautiful, you have a smile that just knocks a person out. But you look absolutely amazing today! I am going to have to go in and curl my hair or something lol. I feel under dressed. Oh... and I heard someone else advertising for skill share today and touting what a good teacher that Toni from TL Yarn Crafts is. I was like... "Hey I watch here, yeah she's a fantastic teacher!" It was a fun moment that I just had to share with you. Have a super day!😊

[SparklyPotatoes]

Okay my theory with Hobbi is they offset how affordable some of their yarns are with some slightly overpriced luxe fibers. They know we can resist adding some of those to our otherwise reasonable order 😂

[noelleparris]

I was smiling as you read and commented on Miss (Ms) Kimmy's post and ode to you. So sweet. You do bring a lot of joy to people. I wish your review episodes were twice as long, it's a pleasure to hear what you have to say about yarn and products.

[SonicallyInteractive]

I love how your hair looks! Thanks for reviewing this line, I've got to go check it out for some amigurumi!

[dorothyquarles]

Your hair is beautiful and it looks beautiful as you are. I love watching you. You have showed me so very much. Thank you for all your time. You are thee Best ❤
