Inside the label is a pattern for a ruffle scarf. That's about all you can use it for.

I recently bought some Yarn Bee called Finale, the colorway is Aria. It is a thick and thin yarn. I'm knitting a wide scarf on size 15 needles, and love the way it coming together. It is very nubby. I'm knitting every row.

I didn't realize it was Hobby Lobby's own brand. No wonder I couldn't find a website for it like Lion Brand has. I love this yarn! It is just so incredibly soft. I wish it weren't so expensive but I still splurge and use it.

I make scarves and cowls with it. The yarn is so incredibly soft, it feels wonderful against your face and neck. I make and sell them and people are in love with this yarn.

Yes, it is actually the Hobby Lobby's own brand of yarn. Like Walmarts brand name is Equate or Sams Choice, this is Hobby Lobbys brand of yarn, and yes it is fantastic. If you find it a bit thin, try holding 2 strands together to make a larger gage. It seems to be working great for me. I get all the softness I want and the gage that some patterns call for in a larger stand.:D]

I love this yarn. I found it at Hobby Lobby and I use it when a pattern calls for homespun yarn. It works up better than homespun.

Has anyone heard of the yarn brand Yarn Bee? We have it here through Hobby Lobby (like a Michaels). I love their yarns- they have fantastic textures. But what the heck can you use it for? Is there a book or a collection of patterns that anyone knows of? Or is there a way to find out what you can use it in place of in another pattern?

I see that this is a really old post, but I just found it when I was looking for online sources for Yarn Bee.

I absolutely LOVE Yarn Bee! I have to wait for it to go on sale because they're a bit pricey. And the only place I've found to buy it is Hobby Lobby. Any time you're using a pattern, you can use other yarn than what's called for. It helps to get a similar weight and then use the gauge to find the right hook size.

I enjoy crocheting with Yarn

I enjoy crocheting with Yarn Bee but can't find it anymore.

I am looking for Aurora, the color is Pearl Dawn. If you see it, please let me know where!! Thank you.

I'm usually not a stickler to the yarn a particular pattern calls for... most often I find a yarn I love and just wing it.

What weight is your Yarn Bee yarn? Start there and find a pattern you like using that particular weight. A test swatch is a must, of course. It sometimes takes me a couple tries with different hooks to get my guage for a pattern, but I am always delighted with the results.

Best of luck!
