I’m looking at ordering some of the Drops Air yarn but I’m confused by the images of the different colors. Some of the yarn in the photos looks messier than the others, like the rust, Bordeaux, crimson red, and forest green. Does anyone know why? Hesitant to order it based on those images
I was considering selling mystery tapestry crochet patterns. I would write and sell the patterns and the actual picture I used for reference (with and without the writing on it) in a separate folder. I have a hard time picking a project and I think this is rather freeing. It allows you to figure out what you’d need, and how much you’d need. Give color suggestions but allow you to go wild. I love it bc I’m a lover of dot to dots, color by numbers, coordinate grid dot to dots and I figure there’s ppl who also want to get rid of a stash or just like how freeing this could be. So my main question is, would this be something yall are interested in and how much would you pay for it? I’m not selling or offering yet. I’m fleshing out the idea and wanted other people’s insight before committing.
I dont have knitting needles big enough, I cackled my way though trying to use my arms as needles .. horrendous tension. I initially bought it to make a pill bug pillow but it just isn't right. A coworker wants a chunky throw blanket and she doesn't hate the grey, any ideas or ideal hook size? Tips, tricks?
I got this yarn secondhand over a decade ago and have no idea where it's from. I want to get more of it, or find something similar, but haven't seen anything with this blend of textures and weights before.
It was probably bought in the USA, I want to say at least 12 years ago. I sincerely doubt it's still in production, and I'm not confident the brand would still be around. I suspect it's entirely synthetic based on the burn test. I might have another colorway in storage, but what I show in the images is one colorway. As you can tell it varies a lot in thickness, but overall it's weight 4.
Does anyone have ideas?
I am hoping to visit at the end of the month for a special occasion and I’m wondering what the best place to buy yarn is in Philly? I know there are a couple of local yarn stores but I will probably only have time for one or two places.
I have a huge problem. I knitted the front and back panels of my sweater with Gründl green line eco cotton natural white, just to now find out (when i need more yarn for the sleeves) that it's discontinued and I'm not able to find it anywhere. Can anyone help me with where i could find it or what would be a good alternative fabric and colour wise? I'd be really grateful if anyone could help me
I bought a santa sack mystery bag from Lion Brand because I had gotten one during the last sale and it was great.
However this time, I ordered the 18-skein set and I only got one singular kind of yarn. I was wondering if anyone has had this experience and if Lion Brand rectified it for them.
This is their product description:
"Build your own Santa Sack with this mystery yarn bundle! Choose your perfect size—9, 12, or 18 skeins of surprise yarn colors and weights. Every bundle includes a FREE Santa sack to keep your yarn collection organized and ready for your next project. Each bundle is a lucky dip into our yarn selection, so you'll discover new favorites and unexpected color combinations. Perfect for adventurous crafters who love a little mystery.
Please limit to one per customer, while supplies last. Purchasing more than one bag may result in receiving the same yarn."
Everything in it implies plural colors, plural types. If I had gotten two types of yarn, I would have written it off as bad luck because it'd still have been accurate, but I only got Feels Like Sherpa in the Onyx color. 18 skeins of it. Am I entitled to them fixing it?
Update: I got a response from customer service and it does just seem like a canned response. I've dealt with their customer service before and during that time, I've had to go through like 7 emails back and forth before their tone completely changed and they finally fixed my issue, so I'm going to keep pushing this one until I get a real person too. It just feels frustrating that they just leave it up to a script or AI instead of talking to me.
does anyone recognise this yarn? I’m in love with it
I have experienced many yarns. Different weights and different fibers. Some bad, some good. I also would describe myself intermediate knitter. So, I am sure my issues aren't related to my knitting skills.
So, I bought Sandnes-garn duo yarn last year for this top. Firstly, I had to go down two needle sizes. I usually use the recommended needle size just fine but it came out loose.
Secondly, my tension is all over the place. Again, doesn't happen with any other yarn or projects. My tension usually is pretty even. However, somehow it is very hard to get even tension with this yarn. It is just too loose. Which is weird because I am using smaller needles and my tension is tight.
Thirdly, there are few odd things that happen with this yarn. Multiple stitches are undone every row. What I mean is that somehow when I knit my stitches, they actually just get passed on to the left needle with yarn over. Again, this rarely happens to me with other yarns. But with this one it is on every row multiple times.
Lastly, it is so slippery. I am using wooden needles but still my stitches keep falling off the needle. I also think many of the previous problems are explained by this.
I really got so frustrated that I abandoned the first project. I just really wanted to get rid of the yarn, so I started new project. But I really cannot enjoy it because of these issues.
It is kind of odd thing. I usually love Sandnes-garn yarns. They are such great quality. However, this one is the worst yarn I ever used. Just a warning for everyone.
I don't know if anyone actually reads my rant but I felt like I needed to vent
I made a baby blanket and I'm scared to wash it. I'm planning on using a washing machine. If you need more detail it's the Snugs and Kisses Babybee yarn.
Splitting several cakes so I can control the color changes for a big shawl. The worst is when I miss the fuzz buzz and have to rewind it to find the knot. Still, it looks so nice all sorted out!
I discovered my love for this yarn world recently... and I usually purchase my yarn through amazon coz of prime and also no min cart value... and after receiving a completely diff size of yarn twice I want to shop my yarn in person... I live in ghaziabad so not a lot of yarn stores around me and since I am new to this yarn world I feel like visiting all the shops in delhi ALL OF THEM over the next 203 months and make a detailed short video series around this... I think its new plus fun to review all the yarn stores and visit them personally... the only catch is I dont want to do this alone :' so if you love crocheting or knitting or just passionate for yarn or travelling to yarn stores... do hit me up... it will be so fun and a peak experience
19F btw
My wife has been working on a large blanket for a few months. She has been using several colors of "I love this yarn" including Orange 232. It would seem that that color is not being made anymore and we have looked online and in several stores with no luck.
Someone mentioned this group might be able to help, but I don't know if that fits in the rules.
Been working on this virus shawl for the past few months and I’m almost done! Just have to block it and then it’s ready. It’s my first time trying to crochet a wearable and I’m so ecstatic about how it turned out. Still can’t believe I made this, and absolutely love the color gradient 😍
Not sure if this is the right place to post. Anyways I've been knitting with this yarn that I found at a free yarn exchange place however there was only a small bit of it. I didn't expect to like it so much and now I would like help trying to find it so I can finish the thing im knitting. The yarn is a bit more of a vibrant green than the picture its light green with a thin more colorful yarn interwoven.
the retail store sucks now and it makes me really sad I just needed to vent. they used to have an entire display full of lettlopi yarn with 10+ skeins of all the most popular colors. i drove out this weekend and they only had 20 skeins IN TOTAL.
i know its been a long time coming but it sucks that the buyers are greedily destroying the store.
apparently there is a 413 number for the retail store that i couldve called, but it was not on their website. only the 800 number that, when redirecting to the retail store, goes straight to voicemail.
