The King of Big Box Yarn (my personal opinion). For the biggest bang of your buck, I go with any Caron cakes but right now I’m using two in the colorway Flourish for a knitted wrap top and a crochet jumper!
Caron® Macchiato Cakes™ Yarn
Malabrigo Yarn is my GOAT for higher-end yarn. The colorways are always so beautiful and the feel is amazing. 10/10 yarn to get if you’re dipping your feet into higher quality yarns.
Malabrigo Rios - Tranquilo
Once again, can’t go wrong with Caron yarns but I wanted to highlight this one because I made the most beautiful bonnet with it (bad photo here but look at Withloveomamori for a better pic hint hint nudge nudge)
Caron® Jumbo™ Yarn
If for any reason you don’t want to try out a Caron cake, another affordable option for acrylic yarn is the Pound of Love. It is a full POUND of yarn and it will last so long. I made a sweater with one ball and had enough for so many other projects, ...
Lion Brand® Pound of Love® Yarn
My #1 thread for any filet crochet projects. Genuinely so easy to work with (plus it’s 100% cotton so it’s much more eco-friendly
Aunt Lydia's® Size 10 Classic Cotton Crochet Thread
If you want a good quality value wool yarn, Paton’s Classic Wool Worsted is by far my favorite. I recently completed a commission order with it and me and my commissioner LOVED it. Good squish, easy to block, and feels really nice!
Patons® Classic Wool Worsted™ Yarn
This one’s a little harder to come buy and you definitely would have to buy it either online or at a local yarn store but this is such a nice yarn. It has a very rustic feel and provides a good squish and it’s perfect for the bunny scarf I knit above...
Queensland Shetland Lite - Oat (Color #1001)

This is definitely a splurge item. Amazing, feels great in your hands and it’s ergonomic so you don’t hurt yourself. Genuinely such a great investment piece but if you don’t have the money, there’s always more cost effective options
Clover Amour Crochet Hook
