Question 1

Are Michael’s grab boxes out yet?

Accepted Answer

In this video I share that the grab boxes are almost here, and I’m seeing the store getting prepped for them. If you’re hunting them, watch for that “reset” energy in the aisles—spring kits moving around and sections getting tightened up. I always recommend checking your local store early and often because timing can vary.

Question 2

What new yarn did you find at Michael’s?

Accepted Answer

I spotted new cotton options like Loops & Threads Twist Love 100% cotton and Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton, plus some exciting colorways in the cake yarns. I also checked out Caron Cakes and a few Big Twist lines—Twinkle, Value, and Gigi. It was a really solid “what’s new” walk-through if you like seeing the shelves in real time.

Question 3

Is Loops & Threads Twist Love 100% cotton worth trying?

Accepted Answer

I included it because it’s one of the new cotton options showing up at Michael’s and it’s the kind of yarn a lot of us use for practical makes. If you like cotton for bags, dishcloths, and warm-weather projects, it’s definitely one to put on your “try list.” I always say: look at the colors in person if you can, because cotton shades can surprise you under store lighting.

Question 4

What Big Twist yarns did you see at Michael’s?

Accepted Answer

I saw Big Twist Twinkle, Big Twist Value, and Big Twist Gigi while I was touring the aisle. I like pointing these out because Big Twist is usually where people go when they want budget-friendly options with a lot of color. It’s also a good section to check before grab boxes hit, because stock can shift fast.

Question 5

What is the budget-friendly baby brushed rainbow yarn you mentioned?

Accepted Answer

I call it out in the aisle tour because it’s one of those soft, brushed baby yarns with rainbow vibes that can be really tempting. It’s budget-friendly, and it’s the kind of yarn people grab for quick cozy gifts. If you’re stash-conscious like me, it’s a “cute… but do I already own something similar?” moment.

Question 6

What are the upcoming Merino Superwash and Luxe yarn updates at Michael’s?

Accepted Answer

I share an update that these lines are on the horizon, and I’m watching for them because merino and luxe-style yarns can change what’s possible for store-bought garment projects. When those hit shelves, I’ll be looking at feel, yardage, and price—because that’s where the real value is. If you’re planning projects, it’s worth waiting to see what actually arrives in your store.

Question 7

How do you shop your stash instead of buying more yarn?

Accepted Answer

After the store visit, I go home and shop my stash for yarn for my Zodiac Mosaic Crochet bag. The key is having a system where you can actually see what you have—then it’s way easier to make a confident choice. Sometimes the best reset is using what’s already in your bins instead of adding to the pile.
