Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Yarn" is my favorite. $4.99 skein (every other week its $3.49), huge color selection, but most importantly to me is how super soft it is.

Red heart super saver is my go to. My grandma always used it so it has a special place in my heart. Plus I still have some of Grandma's old crochet blankets and garments made from red heart that have lasted for years!

I absolutely love the Hobby Lobby's I Love This Yarn. A ton of colors and when HL has the yarn on sale (every other week) I will stock up on what I need. I love videos like this and would watch any that you do! I also love Heartland, but it can get a little stretchy. I can't use Simply Soft - it is way too splitty for me. Since crochet is supposed to be relaxing, fighting with my yarn is not gonna work for me 😆

Hobby Lobby "I Love This Yarn"

[claretrevor]

I’m a fan of Hobby Lobby I love this yarn! They also have Soft and Sleek non pilling.😊

[Yarnmama]

Hobby lobby I love this yarn is super soft.

[tammyday]

With Love does soften with a light wash. I've used it for kids ponchos.
There's so many suitable yarns for blankets and I generally go for what's on sale.
Thank-you.

Here in Australia, the only one on your list that is available in stores is the Lion Brand Heartland. I've used it for one project and it came out so nice and soft. All the others we have to get online, which can get quite expensive with shipping. My go-to acrylic is 4 Seasons 'Marvel'. It's under $5AU a ball and comes in quite a nice range of colours. I do wish we could easily get Caron Simply Soft here because I see it used so often and it always looks amazing.

Caron skinny cakes are great. I’ve made a few various sized blankets & even though it’s a size 3 yarn, they’ve been warm & cosy. Unfortunately here in Australia we don’t get the same acrylic range you have. Thank you for the video. Yes I would love to see your crochet endeavours with the new acrylic yarns. 🧶

Pound of Love is a great acrylic yarn. Plus there are less ends to have to weave in because of the yardage.

[donnellemorrison]

My go-to yarn for blankets is Caron Blossom Cakes. I know it isn't the cheapest yarn, but the colors are wonderful, and it's great to work with. If you buy it by the 12 skein case at Michael's it's less expensive too.

[kskc]

I love Hobby Lobby's Pound of Love too, it's definitely my favorite.

[Trish_C]

I would love to to hear yarn recommendations for cardigans

[lauriek]

It would be great to see how those 5 samples look in a blanket! Nice job.

[aztigerval]

I absolutely love carron cloud cakes. I love how soft it is and its a great option for a lighter blanket.

[laurieklem]

Caron cakes - the original - is taking up a good chunk of the yarn room as well as tons of Knit Picks / WeCrochet varieties - biggest fav is Brava worsted & bulky - so soft & smooth on the hooks ! But that's only half the yarn room - the other half is dk / worsted merinos and superwash merino as well as cashmere and pure wools of all kinds. =)

[JodysCrochetObsession]

I make a lot of blankets and Caron yarn is too splitty and soft to stand up structurally. I Love This Yarn, Premier Anti- Pilling, pound of Love and RH are my go to yarns for blankets.

[geekconn]

LB Heartland is literally the only yarn I will use for my temperature blankets. It's so soft and has just the right color variety for my style. Things like Red Heart and Big Twist are just so rough to me despite the value.

[veronicamadrak]

Yes please continue videos on what yarns you use and like most. I would like to ask about where you get the yarn at....do you have a store you visit or do you order much of the yarn online? Thanks for being an inspiration for me to get back into crocheting. I love a lot of your projects and many I have crocheted myself.

I just made my Sister a throw blanket out of the Bernat Baby Blanket yarn for Christmas. She loved it! Or at least, she said she did, lol. It didn't really take that many skeins because of the bulkiness of the yarn, and it was pretty easy to work with, once I got used to it. It's good to know you can wash, and it still holds up, I was a bit worried about that.
