REVIEW: "A Love Yarn" is family friendly and delightful - see my full movie review below...
Starring: Anna Hutchison and Simon Arblaster
Storyline: The owner of a quaint New Zealand yarn shop, Sophie Dale, gets her world flipped upside down after learning her top supplier of yarn, King Farms, is stopping production. Much to her surprise, the charming yet stuck-in-his-ways Samuel King has traveled all the way from New York to audit the business model of the farm. Desperate to keep her shop going, Sophie convinces Samuel to give her two weeks to learn the ropes of yarn spinning and raise enough money to buy the mill herself. With Samuel’s help, Sophie comes up with a fundraising plan to host a “knit-off” and auction at the local makers market. However, when the two weeks come to an end Sophie finds herself at the crossroads of business and romance. Could she have misinterpreted Samuels growing romantic interest in her as just business all along?
Movie Review: "The setting of this story is in New Zealand - and the countryside there is absolutely beautiful. Breathtaking! The owner of the local yarn shop, Sophie, is quite likeable; she's an American who inherited the shop from her late Grandmother. Sophie brings many people of the town together to knit and enjoy time sharing, along with her best friend, Rose, who is a lot of fun. Everything seems tranquil for Sophie, until she knits a sweater for her boyfriend, Chris. Everyone in the knitting group teases that "it's the curse of the knitted sweater" and they predict in a joking way that she and Chris will surely break up. They actually do, but Sophie has more important things to worry about - she must save the local mill where she gets her yarn and convince the owner's handsome son, Samuel King, who is visiting from New York, to sell it to her before he leaves. The lambs in the movie are all sooo adorable - you'll instantly fall in love with them. At times, the movie can be a bit predictable and cheesy, but it's still a sweet family friendly story, and I personally enjoyed watching it. Even the knitted sweater gets redemption in the end. If you know someone who likes knitting, then this is most definitely THE MOVIE for them." ~Net

What do you think of Good Witch witch the Series starts either Next Sunday which is Mother's Day or the following Sunday I am not sure?
ReplyDeleteChris, I personally have chosen over the years not to watch the "Good Witch" series.
DeleteI based my decision as a Christian on the Word of God. In Deuteronomy 18:9–12 it says, “When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, let no one be found among you who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord.”
That word "detestable" echos through my mind, and I want to always try to do what is right according to the Bible.
Many consider it to be an innocent program - and I'm sure there is a lot of fun it it, too, but it just doesn't feel right with my spirit.
Thank you for asking, Chris.
Blessings to you, Net
Certainly worth a watch.
ReplyDeleteI was looking at the BYUtv movie schedule for May and unfortunately I can't see any more RomComs scheduled to air.
Yes! This was a cute movie - be sure to see my review above.
DeleteAnd, yes, there is another premiere movie today at 1pm EST. with You May Kiss the Bridesmaid. Hope you can catch it! :)
Thank you for the heads up! I never heard anything about the movie, but it sounds so cute! Plus, I don't think even Hallmark has filmed there yet, right?

Misty, "A Love Yarn" is a very sweet movie! I was so thankful they offered the link to watch on-line since I missed the premiere. I sure hope they plan to replay these rom-com movies more often.
DeleteI'm not recalling any Hallmark movies set there just yet, but give them time - they seem to be filming all over the world these days! :)
Actually it was meant to be a Hallmark movie but because of Covid they couldn't film in North America last year so ended up changing the plot to be New Zealand based which was pretty great for us kiwis :) My family home features in the movie!!
Deletesounds lovely
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is, Denise! Hope you can watch it sometime.
