Hi everyone, I am looking to make a sweater with a yarn color similar to the Noro Madara yarn in the color Sake, but it is very hard to find that yarn color in stock anywhere online. Since it is a popular yarn, I was wondering if anyone has found a good dupe for that colorway? I tried looking for tweed yarns but it is hard to find one with a similar color. Thanks!
i’m trying to make a crochet bag for my mother, and i need more of this yarn!! i got it a few years ago from my grandmother. its multicoloured with purple, beige, and a sage green. please help me find the brand !!
hi friends!! i recently bought the pokémon crochet book by ira rott and am hoping to make the full 36 square lap blanket. my only issue is that the yarn she uses (stylecraft specialty dk) is not easily found in the us. does anyone have any suggestions on where i can find all of these colors, hopefully in a multipack so i can save some money? or suggestions for other brands available in all these colors would be helpful as well! thank you in advance 💕
As many of you know, Hobbii posted a very pro-genAI stance that a lot of us stand against. I had already ordered a ton from them before knowing this, some of which I unfortunately REALLY like working with. Before this, I had only experienced the limited yarn from Michaels and Walmart. I've never ordered from anybody else.
I'm specifically looking for a substitution for their line Cozy Cakes. It's an 80% acrylic 20% wool blend and delightful to work with. I'm making a cardigan from what I have, but would love something that feels like this for other cozy winter projects in the future.
Hi all, I'm wanting to knit a pattern that calls for isager soft (formerly eco soft) but the colour I want has been sold out since January so I'm now looking for alternative yarns. I've found Sandes Garn's Poppy which has a slightly different composition (50% superfine alpaca, 35% cotton,15% merino-wool) compared to isager softs (56% Alpaca, 44% Organic Cotton). Poppy's recommended needle size is 5.5-7 while isager softs is 5-6. Does anyone know how this will affect things and would this be an appropriate substitution?
So far, I've made a big heart cushion using weight 6 chenille yarn (following Mahum crochet's tutorial). And now I'd like to make some small keychains. Should I get a thinner/smaller weight (like 2 or 3) chenille yarn for keychain? I was checking out tutorials on youtube and mostly everyone used cotton or acrylic yarn for their project but I was thinking these small plushies should be soft and fluffy so why not use chenille yarn? What would you suggest?
Was making great progress with my blanket then ran out of yarn. I forgot to write it down 🥺😭
EDIT:
Whoops my bad, didn’t give more clarification! Didn’t know how was super lost!
Found about 2-3 years ago! Originally saw it in Michael’s, but this brand was everywhere and heavily pushed. Not sure if it a Hobbi, Cotton King, King Cole or Valley Yarn! I think it was Valley Yarn Summer Berries but not 100%! I am not sure how to tell the fiber (sorry about that pretty new!)
Recently, a friend asked why I don't use cotton yarn. I honestly don't have a good answer other than acrylic can be cheaper. (That might change with gas prices going up.)
Besides potential allergies and price point, are there benefits or drawbacks from using acrylic, cotton, wool, etc. What is your favorite fiber to work with?
Anyone know of any current National Park inspired colorways? I tried searching and found a lot of previous limited runs or out of stock color of the month clubs. Anyone know of anything I could order currently? Specifically Zion and/or Bryce Canyon inspired colorways would be perfect!
I bought this yarn within the last 15 years. I most likely bought it at either Michaels or Walmart (Canada), and it wouldn’t be anything fancy/expensive. I have lost the label and would just like to see some finished projects in this colourway, but I can’t see to find the yarn online. Any ideas?
does anyone know where i can get the discontinued Caron Simply Soft: Baby Sunshine? i attempted to purchase it off ebay but it ended up being regular Sunshine, and it seems everywhere else does not have it. does anyone have any ideas of where i can get some?
Hello all! Looking for help identifying this lovely worsted weight wool yarn. I found this single skein in a charity shop recently (with no label), and I’d love to order some more so I can make a cardigan with it.
I know this is a long shot! But do you recognize this yarn by any chance??
I got this yarn from a crafting thrift store and i for sure don’t have enough for the project I already started with it 😭
I'm making a project with Loops and Threads Demi Purl and found this huge stretch of bald string about two thirds of the way through the ball. It's about 22ft long. Not to mention that my other balls have had SO many manufacturers knots. Absolutely won't be buying this yarn again. Do you think I could complain to Michael's? I'm not sure if I still have my receipt is the thing...
Does anyone know what yarn this could be? It's a light icy blue color, it's a super old skein and I ran out and am looking for something similar
My mom’s birthday is in TWO DAYS, we’re on vacation, and I have no idea what to do. It has to be somewhat small and very quick, but my real problem is that I’m limited on yarn. I have some light green yarn, a creamish color, a grey and purple ombré (not ideal), and an awful purple yarn with little colorful puffs attached every inch or so, though I could possibly stop for more yarn if I had a reason too. I have 2mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, and 4.5 mm crochet hooks on me. Help!!
I am making a bunch of amigurumi plushies and I researched and I think I want chunky chenille yarn but I tried finding some but they dont have great reviews. Where should I get my yarn for not too expensive? Also I would like to have some normal non-Chenille yarn where could I get that? Also let me know if there's any other tool or information for the yarn i should know, thanks!
