Can anyone identify this yarn I found in the garbage at work?

I work at a store for a semi luxury brand that’s most known for leather bags but also sells accessories, shoes, and clothing. They were cleaning out our stock area, and amongst the paper/plastic garbage was this cone of yarn. No one seemed to know where it came from, so I asked my manager if I could keep it and they said yes.

The inside of the cone has the brand name Toscano, but when I search it online I can’t find any info other than it’s an Italian brand most well known for 100% linen yarn. The yarn I have is clearly wool, but I have no idea of anything about it beyond that. I think it’s maybe worsted or bulky weight? The Toscano website seems to be meant for commercial buyers, and an account is needed to view their inventory.

Anything anyone can tell me about this yarn would be very much appreciated!

Moths on knitting?

Rest of the uncorked skein looks fine as far as I can tell it’s only on the current wip, I am just trying to decide if I’m being overly paranoid or not, I don’t know if the project got on something and that’s what left these spots or if this specific yarn just starts to look like that. it’s a lambs wool cotton blend. Just noticed a few white specks all over the lace work this morning. I’ve immediately thrown it in the freezer just in case. Does look entirely like moth infestations I’ve seen on Google, but maybe I caught it early enough.

Thank you in advance!

Examples of American POWs using crochet

Was at the magnificent National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. Amongst the amazing airplanes and stories of bravery, I was surprised to find this exhibit. It’s from a WW2 German POW camp where downed American airmen were held.

Why is everything Rowan discontinued

If you are also a broke babe like me you'd know that every time you go on vinted or ebay to buy yarn and you find smth rowan it's discontinued.

Lima, alpaca cotton, cash soft, pure wool (not the super wash)

is there a reason that they're all discontinued?

like I find some other brands discontinue yarns but almost everything people are selling from Rowan is discontinued.

please help me find yarn color.

I just started my first clothing project and I would really like to finish it but ran out of the dark color of yarn and lost the wrapper for it. I'm pretty sure i got it from Walmart but couldn't find anything similar when I went back to the store and checked the website. Any help would be appreciated this is all I have to go off of, thank you.

My Puff Blanket Made of Unraveled Cashmere Sweaters is Done!

It’s been over a year since I started this crazy project, and it‘s finally done! 14 thrifted 100% cashmere sweaters have finally been converted into a crocheted puff square blanket!

My initial goal was to see if I could create a cashmere blanket for <$100. I believe I spent ballpark of $80 total, and I have leftover cashmere to make nice Christmas gifts and other projects with as well :)

I started this madness about 6 months into starting crochet, when I was basically still a beginner. I learned so much from working on this, and it’ll be so weird not making puffs anymore!

Last two pics are of yarn I’d like to use to make future blankets, if anyone has ideas! I thrift all my yarn so it’s mis-matchy. First pic is all alpaca yarn ranging from 1-3 weight (I may double up the 1 weight for better consistency). #2 is all merino sock yarn (some colors undecided, shown with the question marks and circles - and only using the marked koigu’s)

Yarn Identification Help!

I am new to crocheting and bought this hot pink yarn at an estate sale with no identification of brand or color. I have been to all of the craft stores near me and can’t seem to find a good match. The colorful yarn pictured in the blanket, bought at the same estate sale, is Red Heart Super Saver brand. Any help identifying what this is so I can get some more to finish this blanket for my daughter would be much appreciated!

Cotton yarn thrift haul 🧶

Paid around $10 at the craft reuse I frequent. It’s a fun place because I never know what I’ll find.

please help me find another cone of this vintage yarn or a dupe!!

I got it from a donation at a local nonprofit. The cone was HUGE but not enough for this project. A dupe would be cool too, just not sure what I’m looking for (idk what the numbers mean)

Help Finding Size 5 (Bulky) Wool/Wool Blend Yarn!!

Hi! ^^ First time posting here!

To be honest, just what the title of the post says! I’ve been searching for some nice yarn for a project I want to start, but I literally CANNOT seem to find size 5 wool/wool blend yarn anywhere!! If I do, the skeins are tiny and cost 30-40 bucks! While I totally respect the time and effort it takes it make those smaller batches, that’s a little out of my price range for the amount I need LOL

If anyone has any recommendations for bulky wool yarn that’s not too expensive, I’d greatly appreciate it! Honestly, any high quality natural fiber would be great (except cotton lol not my favorite), any sort of wool/acrylic blend is fine too, as long as it’s not mostly acrylic. Also, making sure it carries a few colors. The ones I need are an off white cream, rusty orange, medium dark red, black, and grey! I’m also in the USA, if that helps anyone’s recommendations.

Thank you guys so much!! I’m grateful for any help I may get! :))

Lion Brand Mystery Bag only contains one kind of yarn

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.

Looking for a dupe of sultan solids in yellow.

I am making a blanket with cotton kings sultan solids and don't want to shop at hobbii anymore. I just need a fingering weight cake with a bright yellow, it doesn't need to be the exact same yellow. All of the cakes I'm finding are gradients and not solid. Anyone know a brand that's a good dupe of the sultan solids?

Stash management advice needed

Hi fellow yarn addicts! The time has come for me to organize my stash!

The problem is that I don't know how. I gave it a go yesterday but quickly got extremely overwhelmed.

I don't have the biggest stash as I often buy yarn only after knowing what I want to make, but even so, sometimes I drop projects or recieve yarn from others and so, slowly my stash has grown over the years.

I started adding yarn to ravelry yesterday but I found it too much for me. Even just searching for the yarns and adding the amount and color got too much after a while and I don't have the energy for it.

How do you do it? Like, how does one *start* keeping track of their stash?
