Yarns I'm sad to lose

2025/3/3 Edited to

... Read moreThe recent liquidation of Joann stores has left many crafters heartbroken, particularly those who cherished unique yarns like Scene Queen. This event highlights the impact of store closures on the crafting community, where enthusiasts often build emotional connections to their supplies. Crafters are not just purchasing materials; they’re investing in memories and projects. Losing beloved yarns doesn’t just mean a loss of product but also the dreams and creations tied to those fibers. Fans of crochet, knitting, and other fiber arts often share their experiences in online forums, discussing ways to find similar yarns or substitutes that can capture the same essence. Furthermore, this situation raises awareness for supporting local and small businesses in the crafting sector to ensure that unique offerings remain available. Engaging with community groups can also help users to connect, share resources, and find alternatives that enrich their crafting journey despite recent setbacks.

This image introduces the topic of crocheting a granny square, showing three skeins of yarn in burnt orange, red, and brown, along with a crochet hook on a wooden background.
A hand holds red yarn, demonstrating the first step of Round 1 (R1) for a granny square, which is to chain 5 (CH5), with an arrow pointing to 'Chain 1'.
A hand demonstrates forming a circle in red yarn by slip stitching (SL ST) to CH1 and chaining 4 (CH4, indicating to work into this circle and add 3 double crochets (3DC).
Granny Squares for Babies?! 🤪
Someone asked for a breakdown on how to make a granny square. Check out below for abbreviations long worded. CH - chain DC - double crochet SLST - slip stitch One key advice to remember is to always change four at the beginning of the round. And then add your first 3DC in that same stitch.

A collection of colorful plush yarn skeins in pastel shades like pink, blue, yellow, and purple, with overlay text rating yarns for crochet plushies and asking which are worth the money.
Three types of plush yarn are rated with pros and cons. A hot pink yarn is rated 9/10 for softness but sheds. A brown yarn is rated 8/10, similar to the first. A light green yarn is rated 8/10, noted as good for beginners.
Three more plush yarns are rated. A light pink yarn is 7/10, soft but not as much as others, good for beginners. A multicolored yarn is 1/10, described as rough. A beige yarn is 6/10, similar to the pink but less soft.
Which popular yarns are worth your money
I rated the popular plushie/amigurumi yarns based on personal experience! I include my favorite and which one I recommend for beginners. #Lemon8partner #lemon8diy #handmade #crafts #yarn #fiberart #craftstore #amigurumi #crochet #crocheter
