Let's Review Big Twist-Value Yarn!


 Big Twist Value is a Size 4 Medium weight yarn and 100% Acrylic. The recommended hook size is 5mm or US H.


There are several things I like about Big Twist Value yarn. One being that it is a budget friendly yarn. Big Twist yarn brands are specifically created for and sold only at Joann's Fabrics & Crafts. They come in many colors, textures and styles. Premium- being the top-of-the-line version and Value- being their 100% Acrylic line. ๐Ÿงถ

Big Twist Value yarn is nice to work with. It's soft, which makes it easy on your fingers. No "yarn burn"! ๐Ÿ˜ŠIf you end up with yarn burn, you may be holding your yarn to tightly. I'm guilty of this and it can be very annoying. Just loosen your hold a little and you should be fine. Big Twist Value also doesn't split too often. Which is good because splitting yarn can be a pain in the ๐Ÿคฌ. I wouldn't go as far to say it never happens, but it doesn't happen often. At least in my experience.

One of things I love most about Big Twist Value is the many colors that it comes in. So many different shades of blues, yellows, reds and purple and many more. Whatever your project is, you will be able to find the color you need.


I created these coaster's using different pink shades of Big Twist Value Yarn.

I would recommend this yarn and give it 5 balls.

Welcome to My Crochet Nest!


 Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog My Crochet Nest. I love everything yarn and crochet. I've only been doing it for about a year and half now, and I LOVE IT! I have tried for years to be able to crochet, and for the life of me, I couldn't grasp it. I started knitting. I liked it but I really don't like dealing with two needles. On to using a loom.  This is fun and an easy way to make hats and blankets, but I find it limited in the things you can make. Finally, in October of 2022, I sat down and didn't stop until I finally picked up crocheting. It was like a lightbulb went off and I finally understood it. From there I picked up fairly quickly. I am now a crochet addict. ๐Ÿงถ๐Ÿ’•
