Want to Chat about the Tour?
Part of the fun of taking a passenger steam train trip is talking with your fellow passengers. This year, we’re providing two locations where our passengers can get to know each other. We’d love to hear about your favorite things you’ve discovered on the tour and see photos of your current crochet projects. You’re invited to join us daily for virtual cocktails/appetizers and dinner. (We’ll be sharing links to some fabulous recipes!)

I like Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn.
This is very nice looking yarn
Another great day of designers and the pictures of the yarn shop was so inviting that I wished I could visit.
Some of my favorites are I Love This Yarn, Bernat Blanket, and Vanna’s Choice. Would love to try this yarn as I have never tried it before.
I’m kind of ew to crocheting. So far I really like working with Royale & Lanaloft. I love the multi colored ones!
I like lots of different kinds of yarn. Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable; Bamboo so fine, kristin amdahl, be so sporty the yarn is soft. It is hard to say just which ones I like.
I don’t get the chance to work with specialty yarns much. My favorite yarns are I Love This Yarn, Red Heart Soft, Red Heart With Love.
I like Red heart soft, Vanna’s Choice, Loops and Threads Impeccable.
I am loving this Crochet Tour.
I like Premier Cuddle Fleece for making toasty items! Love Sugar and cream for kitchen things.
My favorite yarns within my price range are Sugar n Cream, Caron Simply Soft and Bernat Blanket. I would love the chance to work with specialty yarns.
I have never tried this type of yarn before and would love to! I usually use Red Heart, Lions Brand or sugar and creme. 🙂
My favorite yarn is Homespun but I love trying new yarns and techniques. It would be awesome to win. I’ve never used this yarn or a bamboo crochet hook before.
I’ve never used a bamboo hook, I bet it’s wonderful!
I love verigated yarns in any style!. I haven’t found a yard that I didn’t like 🙂
I like a lot of different yarns. Recently I have been having fun crocheting scarves with self-striping sock yarns.
Bamboo and soft cottons are so great to work with!
Lion Brand Homespun, Bernat Softee Baby
I’ve never used fancy yarn. It looks really nice and easy to use!
I love to use Bernat Baby Blanket yarn. It’s so soft, thick and easy to work with
I really like Vanna’s yarns and Red Heart Soft, I also use a lot of Red Heart Super Saver.
Some of my Favorite yarns are Bernat, Caron, Red Heart, Berroco & Knit Picks.
That colorway is fabulous!
I like so many different yarns, but I am a sucker for silks! I didn’t realize that Jenny King had her own line of crochet hooks.
I’ve only ever tried yarns such as Red Heart and I Love This Yarn, because I”ve honestly never really been able to afford other types of yarn, but it would be awesome to be able to win this!
Caron Simply Soft, Red Heart Super Saver, Red Heart With Love and Red Heart Soft
i do not have a fave yarn. i just use whatever.
1st of all, my favorite weight is 3 DK. I love natural fibers the most, alpaca, merino wool, silk / bamboo blends, cotton. Craftsy sells a lot of great brands and there are so many yarns I love that I’d fill up this page. That doesn’t mean I can buy them all, I’ve gotten many new yarns at thrift stores and I live near a fabric warehouse that sells mill end and some brand names as well, for super low prices so that allows me to make things at a fraction of the normal cost.
I love all types of yarn as long as i can make something from it, it’s all good!
This is just a beautiful yarn.and hook thanks for the chance
I love this yarn
I love all yarn , of course the softer the better !
I like to crochet with James Brett, Vannas Choice, Bernat Baby, alpaca and Caron Simply Soft.. I don’t usually get the chance to use specialty yarn unless I’m gifted with it..
I love Hobby Lobby’s I love this Cotton because of it’s softness and Stylecraft Special DK because of it’s wide color array.
I’m always finding a new favorite….recently used Heartland and love its drape. Love just about all of the KnitPicks lines.
Merino silk blends are my current favorite…
That’s a pretty colorway and I would love to work with a bamboo hook.
