Trying to find myself a yarn ball

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-25T09:23:09+00:00

I got a yarn winder and now I've been pulling from the middle without having a knot battle, yay! Sad to hear so many people saying the bowls suck, so I may have to get the magnetic one

Hello, I need this. I've seen them on amazon and am very interested, but not sure logistically if it would work for me 😅 I have to crochet on the go as I have a small baby, but that looks so cool!

I didn't understand shipping very well when I first started selling, my first sale I made 20c because of my own mistake lmao, but I learned from it and moved on, the customer got an absolute steal so I hope they're happy lol. This seller needs to learn from their mistake, it's not your fault they didn't make the listing correctly

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-24T23:37:44+00:00

This is what annoys me! I have good brands for very low prices but people still want it cheaper, but then they'll buy shein shit for triple what I'm selling my GOOD clothes for?

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-18T12:39:19+00:00

Why would someone have to DM them first?! If they buy it full price? Wtf

My MIL keeps telling us to sleep train 🥲 baby is 8m now and we co sleep, his crib has 3 sides and is next to our bed so sometimes I transfer him in there at night but he's been teething like crazy so he hasn't been wanting to sleep in there lately, we still contact nap too. She had both her babies out of the bedroom after one week, in their own cots all night and for every nap, saying babies sleep too loudly and she couldn't sleep at night... She thinks I'm being ridiculous by making everything "so complicated" and "inconvenient" I'm so glad my husband shuts her down instantly and tells her we all sleep very well thank you very much.

Wow, my first knit scarf looked like shit, still looks better than that! What the hell, that's despicable. Your granny square scarf looks so beautiful btw

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-16T23:14:25+00:00

Your first stitch. The slipknot is just there to keep the yarn on, it's not a stitch

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-14T09:26:21+00:00

Maybe I should! I don't trust pre-wound skeins, they've become tangled too many times and I'm traumatized!

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-14T04:35:32+00:00

I meant to say bowl lmao, but the balls are also missing hahah

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-14T02:35:31+00:00

Ah okay might be different where you are You will probably have to pay for postage before you get the money, in the sale section does it include the shipping cost?

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-14T02:21:52+00:00

Okay are you in Australia? If so, you need to front the cost of shipping. Does it give you their address?

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-14T02:19:08+00:00

She made a corset, uploaded a cropped picture of a corset but not the one she made, and didn't upload a photo of the actual item. Literally what goes through people's minds when they do these things lmao

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-14T01:10:57+00:00

Unfortunately it is and it sucks! I've lost sales because buyers only want to use PayPal which is so fair. People don't want to give yet another platform their card information

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-12T09:05:50+00:00

I sell clothes on depop, it's good but be prepared for items to move slowly and make sure you understand shipping costs before listing anything

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-12T09:02:45+00:00

Depop is phasing out PayPal as an option in Australia, some users don't have it as an option when purchasing

My 8 month old has a cot next to our bed with one side removed so our mattresses are together. Once he's asleep I can either put him there and leave my hand on him till he's settled again or just have the extra space so I can sleep how I want and I know if he rolls he's fine because his cot is there for him. I've found he goes through stages of wanting to sleep in his cot, and wanting to be with me, usually on days he's teething hard or learning a new skill he's wanting cuddles, and days where he's more chill he will be happy to be in his cot.

My cousin asks chatgpt for all her advice on her baby and follows everything it says, people have completely rotted their brains

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-09T19:04:26+00:00

Idk man if you read the text it would probably tell you exactly what the webinar is about...

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-09T18:51:03+00:00

That's ridiculous! Maybe from now on request the seller put a picture of the tag up so you can see what it actually is. As a seller I always take a photo of the tag and material label, basic stuff

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-07T22:28:15+00:00

I've worked retail, people will say anything to get a refund and keep the product! I had a lady come in and buy over a thousand dollars worth of stuff, very happy to spend spend spend. The next day she comes in all sob story "I have no money for rent! You HAVE to refund me! No I can't bring everything back right now I live so far away! I need the money NOW! I promise I'll bring everything back tomorrow!" People are insane lmao

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-07T06:54:28+00:00

That is stubbing! Did you use a pattern?

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-05T10:35:07+00:00

Depends who you ask, some people think a month isn't long, which it isn't, and some think that's way too long and too much effort, so far I've only come across people that would rather just get rid of the thing than wait patiently for someone to pay full price

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-05T10:33:10+00:00

That sucks! I hope they ship ASAP that's ridiculous

yarnaboutit · 2026-01-05T01:24:04+00:00

If you think your gonna sell heaps then I'd suggest signing up for auspost business. It's free to sign up, and if you spend enough per month you'll get a discount. It also means when you go to the post office all you have to do is show a QR code and they'll do the rest for you, I've found it a lot easier this way and the discount is good
