Oh look, it's #WIPWednesday !
Weaving this week, all of it, and it's more than you'd think. -
I have not done #TidyTuesday for a long time, and this was both fun and challenging! Given my interest in #FiberArts I explored #yarn production in Italy, 1936-1985. Don't be deceived! The massive spike on the right is still only a tiny amount of yarn produced before and after the war #DataViz #RStats #📊 Of course, these colors are Italian flag inspired, and hopefully easily discernible by everyone. HARDEST PART: getting the magick layout right 😵💫 and the fonts could be bigger...next time...

My daughter dropped her phone one time too many and it died.. the problem was always that it wasn't a popular brand, so we had trouble finding a case that would have protected it -
Soooo meet "Barouche" - a creature I created from very fluffy yarn - crochet 😁 and then attached googly eyes 👀 😄
I think it looks like it has character 🤔 😄

Soooo #hobbii brand got bought by a "Tech company" and the CEO recently made a LinkedIn post all about how ~great AI generated images~ are.
Notably they didn't put that on their store anywhere - just LinkedIn.
Aaaand the backlash has been swift.
Consumer trust ? Nuked from space.
Influencer Goodwill? *obliterated*.Why buy a company to just destroy it ?

What Yarn Costs in Morocco vs the U.S. (Real Prices)
Since moving to Morocco, one of the first things I looked into was yarn—where to find it, what the quality is like, and how the prices compare to what I was used to in the United States.
If you crochet regularly, you already know that yarn cost matters. It affects what you make, how often you make it, and even the types of patterns you choose.
Here’s a realistic breakdown based on what I’ve seen.
Yarn Prices in the United States
In the U.S., yarn is widely available and fairly consistent in price.
- Basic acrylic (like Red Heart Super Saver): about $4–$6 per skein (~198g)
- That works out to roughly $2–$3 per 100g
- Mid-range yarns: $6–$12
- Cotton, wool, and specialty yarns: $10–$20+
The biggest advantage in the U.S. is convenience—you can usually find exactly what you need and restock easily.
Yarn Prices in Morocco
In Morocco, yarn is also easy to find, especially in places like Derb Omar in Casablanca, but pricing can vary more depending on where and how you buy.
- Standard pricing often starts around 20–25 MAD per 100g
👉 roughly $2–$2.50 USD - Prices can go higher depending on fiber type and thickness
- Bulkier or specialty yarns can get noticeably more expensive
Bulk Pricing (My Experience)
When buying in bulk, prices can drop.
In my case, I paid 20 dirhams (about $2 USD) per 100g skein.
This was a bulk price, and not necessarily what you’ll pay for smaller quantities. Prices per skein can vary starting from about $2.50 USD and can increase depending on the type of yarn, especially for thicker or higher-quality options.
So Which Is Cheaper?
When you compare directly, basic yarn prices in Morocco and the U.S. are actually pretty similar.
The difference isn’t so much the cost—it’s the experience.
The Real Difference
In the U.S., you can:
- Follow patterns exactly
- Use the same yarn brands consistently
- Easily replace yarn if you run out
In Morocco, you may need to:
- Work with what’s available
- Adjust your hook size or pattern
- Be flexible with yarn types and textures
What This Means for Your Crochet
This is where things get interesting.
Crocheting in Morocco encourages you to:
- Think in measurements instead of stitch counts
- Adapt patterns more freely
- Experiment with different yarns
This is one of the reasons I design patterns the way I do—so they work no matter what yarn you have access to.
Final Thoughts
Yarn in Morocco isn’t drastically cheaper than in the U.S., especially for basic options—but it offers a different kind of experience.
You trade convenience for flexibility.
If you’re willing to adapt and work with what’s available, you can still create beautiful pieces without needing the exact same materials every time.

HodgePodge Crochet is Now on Patreon
After a lot of thought, I’ve officially launched a Patreon for HodgePodge Crochet.
If you’ve been following along for a while, you already know that I’m constantly working on new designs, testing ideas, and refining patterns. I may not release patterns every week, but there is always something in progress behind the scenes. Patreon gives me a place to share more of that process and offer a more organized way for those who want to be more involved.
This space is designed to be simple, consistent, and actually useful—not overwhelming.
There are two tiers available.
The first tier, Studio Access, is for those who want a closer look behind the scenes. You’ll get early access to tester calls before they’re posted publicly, along with updates on what I’m working on, yarn choices, and sneak peeks of upcoming designs.
The second tier, Pattern Club, includes everything in the first tier plus one pattern per month as a downloadable PDF. You’ll also get early access to patterns before they’re released publicly, priority consideration for tester selection, and access to a monthly live session where we can go over crochet questions, pattern help, or current projects.
One thing that’s important to know is that Patreon is where I can share more of my way of thinking and show my process along the way.
If you’ve ever wanted earlier access to patterns, a more direct connection to my work, or a place where everything is a little more organized, this is for you.
You can join here: https://www.patreon.com/c/hodgepodgecrochet
Thank you for continuing to support HodgePodge Crochet. It truly means a lot and allows me to keep creating and sharing new designs.

I was spinning the light grey Faroe, and thought 'I'm sure I got a jumper's worth of this.' so I went rooting. I'ts even better than a whole jumper's worth of grey!
I must have had a stripey one planned but now I'm wondering if different colour marled three ply where the dominant colour changes would be nice.
Either way it's a big project. So at least I have a bit of colour to stop me getting too bored with it.

@DrStip @jojoeffe if you, like me, are a sucker for kidsilk/cracksilk haze, Bendigo Woollen Mills have created a ripoff, and it looks damn fine. I may just have to go on a free trip to bendi for yarn and japanese ramen at the delicious Harpoon - http://www.harpoonsocialclub.com

I'm on a westknits bender at the moment, so it may be a sweater/dress of weirdness with multiple yarns/colors, like so:

I'm crocheting with this Yarnsmiths Headliner cotton that's soft and nice to work with, and I'm using a 4.0mm hook a little larger than the suggested 3.5mm (I couldn't find mine haha) so it's really drapey without looking or feeling too loose.
-
Today I'm knitting with Drops Cotton Light and Rico Make It Tweed. (You hold MIT with another yarn to add tweed nubs.)
-
It’s happening, y’all! We are having a feast! April 18, farm-to-table fare, plus a hands-on yarn-lei workshop. It would be so lovely if fediverse folks could make it!
-
Sometimes you realize that you did not implement some obvious features… So far the #yarn stash has been bound to having a Ravelry login and that then also ment not being able to add yarn to a project.
I am working on that now and due to it I am looking for beta testers who would like to track their #knitting or #crochet projects and do not use ravelry and are willing to give my iOS app a try and report back if something isn't working or could be improved.

Here's the pattern, pretty cute retro. The kit's just $90, not bad - it comes with all the yarn you'll need to make a big ass man's sweater - but it must be acrylic, they don't say of what it's made - & you have to buy your own zipper (or other; buttons, frogs).
They also sell the pattern alone for $8.

“#Australia is the largest producer of #wool in the world, and while the fibre was once spun and finished here, ready to be made into new #garments, since the 1980s it has been shipped overseas – resulting in an estimated $2.6 billion annual loss for the #FashionIndustry.
On Thursday, the #AustralianFashionCouncil announced the “National Manufacturing Strategy for Australian Fashion and Textiles” with industry partner #RMWilliams and a parliamentary committee steered by federal Labor MP Matt Burnell.
Dean and Melanie Flintoft rescued #SilverFleece, a 75-year-old #KnittingMill in South Australia, from liquidation. AFC executive chair Marianne Perkovic called the strategy “a significant investment in the future of national #manufacturing”.
The first item on the agenda? More onshore #WoolProcessing.”#sheep / #fibre / #micron / #yarn < https://www.afr.com/companies/manufacturing/fashion-industry-s-plan-to-add-4b-spin-to-old-yarn-20260311-p5o9jl> (paywall) / <https://archive.md/08jY1>
