Yarn Shopping Adventure
Hey guys, welcome back to my channel! Today, I'm taking you along on a yarn shopping adventure. I needed to find a specific color yarn for a custom order I'm completing, and I wanted to avoid ordering online due to the extended shipping times. So, I decided to visit a local yarn shop called Aussie Yarn in Melbourne. Join me as I share my experience and show you the yarn I bought.

Yarn shopping can be an exciting and sometimes challenging experience for any knitting or crochet enthusiast. As a passionate crafter, I always strive to find the perfect yarn for my projects.

I'll share the ups and downs of my journey and the joy of finally finding the desired yarn. So, let's dive in and explore the world of yarn shopping!
Yarn Shopping Adventure
Searching for the Perfect Yarn Color
Before embarking on my yarn shopping adventure, I had a clear vision in mind. I was on the hunt for a burnt orange color yarn, a specific request from a customer for their custom order. I wanted to find the perfect shade to match the photo they had sent me. The challenge was to find this color in-store, as I preferred to avoid the long shipping times associated with online shopping.
Challenges of Online Shopping
In recent times, online shopping has become the norm for many, especially with the convenience it offers. However, the current shipping delays caused by the pandemic made me hesitant to rely on online orders. I feared waiting indefinitely for the yarn to arrive, as shipping times had become unpredictable. Therefore, I decided to explore a local yarn shop as a more practical solution.
Visiting a Local Yarn Shop - Aussie Yarn
After some online research, I discovered a quaint yarn shop called Aussie Yarn in Melbourne. According to their website, they seemed to have the color I was searching for in their stock. This gave me hope, and I eagerly made plans to visit the store. My mom decided to join me on this adventure, meeting at the yarn shop.
The Joy of Finding the Desired Yarn
Upon reaching Aussie Yarn, I quickly realized that the store had a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Although the color I desired wasn't displayed on the shelves, I decided to ask the shop attendant for assistance. To my delight, she went to the back and found the exact yarn I was seeking. It was evident that they hadn't had time to restock the shelves, but I was grateful for the excellent customer service. The yarn, an 8-ply acrylic yarn in a stunning burnt orange shade called "Paprika," matched the customer's photo perfectly. This success filled me with excitement, knowing that I could fulfill their custom order and create something beautiful.
Another Stop at Spotlight
Spotlight Store Experience
In addition to the yarn I found at Aussie Yarn, I also needed a specific type of yarn for another custom order. This time, I had to visit a Spotlight store. Spotlight is a renowned craft and fabric store in Australia, known for its wide selection of materials. However, my previous experiences at Spotlight had left me doubtful about their stock levels.
The Quest for USA Spot Saver Yarn
Armed with hope and the details of the yarn I needed, I headed to the Spotlight store in Roxburg Park. I was particularly searching for a yarn called USA Spot Saver in the color "Pumpkin." This particular yarn has become a personal favorite due to its excellent quality and vibrant shades.
Successfully Finding the Desired Yarn
As I entered the Roxburg Park spot, I couldn't help but notice the chaotic state of the store. The fabric section, in particular, was a mess, with piles of fabric scattered around. Despite the disorganization, I persevered and managed to find the USA Spot Saver yarn in the coveted shade of pumpkin. I was relieved and impressed that they had it in stock, given my previous experiences with their empty shelves. Along with the yarn, I also picked up some fabric that I planned to use as a backdrop for filming videos.
Heading Home and Future Projects
The Excitement of Showing the Bought Items
With my yarn shopping complete, I headed back home, eager to show you the items I had purchased. However, before going inside, I decided to share a quick overview of my shopping haul. I showed the Paprika yarn and expressed my satisfaction with finding the perfect color for the custom order. The quality of the yarn felt promising, and I looked forward to working with it.
Creating a DIY Video Backdrop
Additionally, I mentioned my plan to create a DIY photo video backdrop using the fabric I purchased from Spotlight. As I had limited space in my two-bedroom unit, I wanted to find a practical solution for filming videos. Setting up a large backdrop stand wasn't viable, so I hoped to hang the fabric on the wall to create an appealing background.
Conclusion
In conclusion, my yarn shopping adventure was a mix of challenges, surprises, and ultimately, success. Visiting a local yarn shop like Aussie Yarn provided a more satisfying and immediate shopping experience compared to online options. Despite the disorganization at the Spotlight store, I managed to find the desired yarn for my custom order. Now, armed with the materials I need, I'm ready to embark on new crochet projects and share them with you on my channel. Stay tuned for more exciting content and crafty adventures!
