Today’s yarn review is going to be on Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn. This yarn is 100% acrylic and considered a 4-worsted weight yarn. Many have compared this yarn to Red Heart Super Saver, but I find that it’s much softer. For the crocheters out there, the recommended hook size is a size I-9, […]

Today I will be reviewing Deborah Norville Every Day yarn. This yarn is considered a 4-worsted weight premium 100% acrylic yarn. The yarn label says that it is anti-pilling, which means this yarn will hold up a little better than other brands. I’m not saying other brands aren’t great, but it’s just something to be […]

Amanda

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by! I’m Amanda, the crochet addict behind-the-scenes. I was always interested in crafting and being creative. One day I decided to learn how to crochet. I was instantly drawn to crochet and thought it was incredible how you could make something out of yarn and a hook. I guess you can say I’ve been ‘hooked’ ever since. Feel free to email me at amandacrochets@yahoo.com with any questions.
