How do I choose a good vacuum?
+2
Being a constant knitter and sewer I always have bits of yarn or thread on my rug that my vacuum doesn't pick up. I have tried many brands and models that say they will pick up anything but don't. Some will pick up a bowling ball but not a piece of thread! Anyone else with this problem?

i gave up on vac's and went to a sticky roller lint type to pick up the treads.
Joanne,. Try this! Take and unscrew a broom handle. Take a lint roller along with a paint roller with a handle. Put the handle into the bottom of the paint roller. Slip on a lint rolle with out the handle.. Roll it on the floor, this is a quick pick up. The handle, an empty paint roller, minus the roller. Attach the lint roller to the place where the roller was. This should pick up the stray pieces of yarn. Aloha!
I sew as well and have a lot of hair on my floors. I have a Shark and it does an amazing job. You might want to consider this fix. I've had one for 15+ years. Just rinse & re use. My issue was kitty litter and I didn't want to suck it up into my vacuum.

They are pricey, but we swear by our Dyson cordless stick vacuum! It's unbelievable how much it picks up!
