The portable yarn holder is a great idea, but the material in the one you got catches on the yarn quite a bit. There are acrylic ones that work so much nicer. The do have a tendency to get a little hung on the swivel, but a quick pull and you are good to go again. The magnet yarn holder is freaking amazing! It is my favorite yarn holder. It spins well, but it doesn't really like big skeins or cakes. Plus, it's gorgeous.

Thank you for posting! I live virtually from your video and I restrain myself because I have just made a yarn organization and I have enough yarn 😅

I tried Temu yarn. At first it looked and felt great. But after I knit with it, it just lost all elasticity, and the project wore out within minutes.😢

Awesome stuff! Im not a fingering weight yarn person at all! Love the blocking board! Love the second set of hooks! Cant wait to see how they all work out! Thanks! ❤❤

Thank you for making this video... With the cashmere yarn, the thread that comes with it, you're suppose to knit it with the yarn so it gives your knitting structure. I buy cashmere from a Mongolian company and it always comes with the extra thread. You don't have to use it if you don't want to.

Thank you so much for letting me know that! That makes sense. I’ll have to try it both ways and see how it differs.

I thought those cashmere sets might be for weaving too

The prices on Temu went up a lot in the last year. I was trying to buy the same bday decorations as in 2022 and the price increased from $0.79 to $7.98 per item. Also I bought the granny square blocking board for $14.99 on Amazon last week. Considering poor description on some items sold on Temu, it may not be worth it to take your chances unless the price is unbelievably low. Thank you for the review!

That’s interesting! I didn’t know that the prices went up that much. It’s definitely a hope for the best when buying it seems.

I bought Simib "2pcs Rainbow Icelandic Wool Yarn 100% Wool Gradient Multi-color Yarn For Hand Knitting Crocheting Sweater 180m/pc 50g/pc". Havnt knitted with it yet but it seems really nice. Also other crafting items to make my own stitch markers etc. I was happy with my purchases. I hate that Temu descriptions are so bad. Might be cause it was translated from Chinese? I find the lack of yarn thickness the most frustrating. Most of the 100% wool yarns are more expensive than what I can get locally.

Temu is basically buying direct from the manufacturers in China, so if you don't mind buying China made, then this is a great place to find deals on things you already get but just cutting out the middle man and retailer. That's why a lot of the products are decent quality, they already went through the QC but to maximize profit the manufacturer is selling direct to consumer. I think this is also due to companies are moving to cheaper countries as China is getting more expensive to produce.
