Cheap yarn?

I just started crocheting about a week ago and could use any tips and tricks. Also would like to know stores or online websites where I could get good yarn that’s not super expensive🙏. #lemon8diarychallenge #yarn #wanttolearn #wool yarn #crochet #crocheting

2024/9/28 Edited to

If you're new to crocheting, finding affordable yarn is essential for your projects. Consider visiting local craft stores like Michaels, Joann Fabrics, or Hobby Lobby, where you can often find sales and discounts on yarn. Online options include websites like Lion Brand Yarn, Yarnspirations, and AliExpress, which offer a wide selection of inexpensive yarns. When choosing yarn, consider the type of project you're working on. Acrylic yarn is an excellent choice for beginners because it's versatile, durable, and economical. Check for sales, bulk discounts, and clearance sections to save even more. Additionally, many stores offer loyalty programs that provide further savings on future purchases. Happy crocheting, and don’t hesitate to ask fellow crafters for more tips!

Do Yarn Types Really Matter in Crochet?

Not all yarn is the same. (Which is why I love it so much!) Acrylic, cotton, wool blends and bamboo all behave differently when you crochet and how you care for your crochet afterwards. There’s no “best” yarn — just the right yarn for the project. 💬 Which yarn do you like working with most?

Cotton yarn for beginners

Cotton yarn is the best option for summer clothing. The brand Peaches and Cream was the first 100% cotton yarn I worked with. It was very rough and hard to work with. I prefer working with cotton blends rather than 100% cotton. Typically, 100% cotton costs more than acrylic (per yardage). Cotton bl

An image titled 'Yarn in Hoodoo' shows two balls of yarn (red and natural), a lit candle, a smoking pipe with smoke, dried herbs, scissors, and a jar, set against a dark, textured background.

The image lists 'Traditional Uses of Yarn in Hoodoo' over a background featuring yarn, a lit candle, and spiritual tools. Uses include binding intentions, strengthening prayers, symbolizing connection, knot work for rituals, and tying spiritual work to physical action.

Titled 'What Yarn is NOT Used For', this image shows a crossed-out doll alongside yarn and spiritual items. It lists misuses like casting spells for fun, controlling others, shortcuts, ignoring context, replacing effort, or giving power to the yarn itself.
