Favorite Craft Store Yarn Brand?

[Amy]

Just out of curiosity, what is your favorite brand of yarn that you can find in a craft store (Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Joann's, AC Moore, etc.), Wal-Mart, or similar location?

 

If you select "Other," please post and let us know what brand is your favorite.

That was tough! I voted other because my current "store favorites" are both Hobby Lobby yarns...first the "I love this yarn", for a good ww acrylic...good texture, colors, etc, good value. Also I like the yarn bee...the fuzzy one (kinda fleecy looking) the sweet delights (which is closer to baby weight than sport weight...or should I say it's finer than Bernat's Softee Baby...which I also use) This one also has a good range of colors...the price is a bit steep, for me, so I wait for a good sale on that.

Currently favorite: HL "I Love This Yarn" for the same reason as MomCrochets, Caron SS is a very close second.

I love Patons yarns. I've used Patons Classic Merino Wool, Patons Decor, and Patons Astra for baby things.

[Addey]

I voted Bernat, as that brand has the most yarns that I love. I really like the Hobby Lobby store brands too, but can't get it without ordering it online. They are the two brands that I know whichever yarn I choose from them will be good quality and come in good colors.

 

It's much easier for me to tell you which brands I don't like... I don't like RedHeart or Lionbrand yarns (any of them really...) ModaDea isn't a fave either as it all seems mostly 'funky' yarns that I don't enjoy. Joann's store brand has some nice yarns, but only a few....

me too. Since my daughter's city opened a Hobby Lobby, I found a yarn I enjoy crocheting with.

I love my good ole trusty RH. I love the colors RH TLC have come up with & it is soft.

I love Caron SS. It feels so nice in my hands especially if I have been working on something else not quite so soft (like thread!).

[kittyloverdeb]

Hobby Lobby...I Love This Yarn! It's the best!!!

[SHERYL]

I voted 'other' - I love Red Heart ~ but it depends on what I am making.

Today it's Bernat. Next week it may be something different. I haven't tried EVERYTHING yet.

Since we have no Hobby Lobby here, I have ordered twice from Craftsetc (when it is on sale) and bought I Love this Yarn, based on the good reviews I read about on here. I like nearly every brand of yarn, a lot depends on what I am making and who I am making it for. I like the novelty yarns but use them as trim only.

I voted for Red Heart, but it really depends on what I'm making:think

[Uwcheese]

I Love This Yarn is the best followed by Bernat 4 Berella.....I also love Bernat Satin and Satin Sport for lighter weight softness.....These are the best yarns I've found at a good price point.

My favorite is ss. I don't like the service or attitude of the help at Hobby Lobby and only go there if I have no choice.

[LizaKaye]

I'm another "other" cause "I Love This Yarn" is my favorite as well. The nearest HL is about an hour away, so with the price of gas at this point, I try get several skeins when I'm there. I their variegated colors, they make up soooooooooo pretty.

[Minders13]

It was a toss-up between Lion Brand and Patons. I love the Vanna's Choice yarn from Lion Brand and Patons decor.

[kitkat]

I voted for Coats and Clark (Red Heart) because thats what I use most of the time. It' because the price is such a good deal at Walmart. If I could buy any yarn and not worry about the price ,then I definitely would buy some of the more expensive brands for my afghans. Yarn is getting so expensive now days!

[niqita]

I voted bernant but I love this yarn is right up there too!

[angelfire]

My favorite is ss. I don't like the service or attitude of the help at Hobby Lobby and only go there if I have no choice.

I agree with t hat, this one was only open a week and theworker was so rude.But I do love the yarn and this week bought it online @ Crafts Etc.

[Angeleyz14]

I put coats and clark because I have been using several of it's brands as of late and enjoy them, but I also use lion brand and patons a lot. There is also a yarn that acmoore here sometimes gets in clearance that is a 'luxury yarn' that is merino, alpaca and silk mix that is fabulous and even felts fabulously and have been able to occasionally buy for $3/skein (approx 110 yds)

I like anything soft and cozy. Which is NOT red heart. I wish I had a LYS here. But I'm in podunk Oklahoma and we dont have one. All we have is Hobby Lobby and WalMart.

[Christina92786]

My standard "go to" yarn is Simply Soft. It's so much nicer to work with than red heart and they make nice colors. Everyone always love anything I've made with SS! I want to try I love this yarn sometime, but I'll have to order yarn online, since there isn't a hobby lobby here!

[passionsgirl22]

i love red heart yarns i cant use anything else

[Cherokee2]

I had to say other as well.. depends on what I'm making. I love ILTY, and also Moda Dea, but have used Bernat and Paton's a lot for various things. Recently bought some RH Soft and it is very nice.
