🧶 🛒 Yarn Shopping in CHICAGO ! ✮ 🏙 Come yarn shopping with me

Got a recommendation for staying within your budget. Keep the money separated, either in cash or on a prepaid debit card like you can buy at the store. Then if you go over, you have to actively pull money from somewhere else. And when you plan your budget give yourself a little wiggle room, like about $20 dollars that you don't put in the separated funds. That way you can cover the unexpected little bit without technically going over budget but still gives you a stopping point.

Sister Arts is not only a beautiful yarn shop, the owner, Donna is a very warm, kind person. Shout out to Sister Arts! So glad you got a chance to visit her shop. Your yarns choices are all beautiful! Looking forward to seeing your completed projects.

Honestly it's so refreshing to see a youtube creator who's as honest about money! I'm tired of influencers acting as if 120$ was nothing (even if it's just for show) when for most of us it's 1-2 weeks worth of groceries. Thank you for being so real!

PLEASEEEEEE, I’m mexican and the most expensive yarn is over $4, IT’S REALLY CHEAP IN HERE, you should visit my country and buy as many skeins as you want with a REALLY low budget

the way you edited your faces moving around the map is so cute though 🥰

If you’re ever in Chicago again you should go to the wasteshed! It’s a craft reuse place and sometimes they have higher end yarn as well my favorite lys in chicago is probably knit one but the woman who works at sister arts is always so sweet! I need to check out yarnify though… that discount yarn room looked nice

Don’t feel bad about going over budget. It’s so easy to do when traveling!!! You can’t put a price on spending time with friends and it looks like you had a wonderful time. Can’t wait to see what you make with the beautiful yarn you brought home. Thanks for sharing this experience with us ❤.

Thanks for talking about Sister Arts! It's a great little shop and an opportunity to keep shopping local, the absolute antithesis of the big box stores. The owner is super helpful!

The tree appliques are calling Yarn Bombing! Anytime I see them around my city they make me so happy cause they're all soo cute.

As soon as I saw this on my home page I clicked it 😭god I am so excited

Thank you for the chciago vlog , I get homesick and it’s beautiful to see the city through someone else’s eyes. I can’t wait to check these shops out next time I’m back home.

I live in Chicago and never heard of those shops. Michael’s and Walmart are just too simple now Thanks for the vlog and inspiration keep doing what you do

Chicagoan here! I visited yarnify! for the first time a couple weeks ago and fell victim to the over budget too lol it's hard to stay the course when there's soooo much yarn there! Also our sales tax is ridiculous so I'm sure that didn't help either lol Blooming Spindle would've been a perfect LYS to go to because they are small and have so many unique indie dyed brands there. You would've easily found something you've never heard of.I hope you make a return visit to Chicago soon, and add Miss Purl's to your list! That's a black woman owned shop that has a nice variety of yarns in various price points as well as a welcoming community vibe.

Next time you come back, please check out Miss Purl on the southside of Chicago!! 😊😊😊

love this!!! hearing sufjan stevens over the chicago montage made me ridiculously happy

Wow the editing on this video is blowing me away! Such a fun trip!! Great job 👏

I just wanted to say, you’re such a huge inspiration to me when it comes to crochet, I see you crochet and knit all these outfits and it’s so amazing. You’re extremely talented at working with yarn, and you’ve even pushed me to try out knitting. I love your channel and all your videos❤💕

This video is amazing!! I am from Chicago but moved away a few years ago and this video made me homesick in the best way - so nice to see footage of summertime chi and some of my favorite yarn stores :) It’s so cool that you are knitting projects for your friends!

The editing in this video is SO PRETTY and so cool!! 💕 I absolutely love all the scrapbooky details and fun transitions! It has so much personality! I'm sure editing takes so much time and work and I just wanna say that it's so good!!
