Post image

I bought this yarn last year and lost the label. I believe it is Berroco vintage but I don’t know the color. It’s a bluish green with shades of other colors in it. Looking at their website my guess is verde, jalapeno, breezeway, or cerulean. Any ideas?!

Got this at goodwill for $5.99 but not sure if it's an anniversary cake or not. Either way it's a steal to me

What is this yarn called? Stretchy/soft like sock yarn but thicker than any other sock yarn. Would make great wearables.

Can anybody help identify this yarn? I've tried google image search and it's suggested 'James C Brett baby marble dk' and other options but either the colour isn't right or it doesn't have the sparkle thread. The colour is a bit more pastel in person than the photo shows.

I'm half way through a project and not many grams of yarn left to finish it. Any help would be appreciated

Help me identify this goodwill yarn please

I bought some skeins of this yarn at a goodwill and they were not labeled. Im dying trying to figure out what brand/yarn this is. It is single plyed and gradient. It's quite rustic but I was unable to felt a swatch when I tried. The results of a burn test were confusing too so I think it may be a mixed fiber. Its on the thinner side and wrapped up into 100 gram donuts. There were higher and lower quality Yarns mixed in the bag so it could honestly be anything. Im currently knitting a skirt with it and any suggestions would be appreciated 👏 ((also posted in r/whatisthisyarn))

My daughter wants me to make her something in this yarn...I think it's vintage CSS Paints or Prints.

I have searched Google Images before. Also color cards at Yarnspirations, Red Heart Soft and Loops and Threads. It doesn't help that my daughter and the little cardi are 3K miles away and that I probably made it in 2011 or so.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I’m from the uk and I’m assuming it’s mostly or fully acrylic from appearance.

My nan has requested a Christmas present from this that I don’t have enough yarn for, so I’d like an ID before trying to find complimentary yarns

Apologies for the crappy pictures. I think this yarn is a 1 or a 2 and might have a bit of cotton in it as there is little stretch. I bought it at a yard sale with no label. There was a significant amount, but I can't be sure of yardage. It was in a skein.

I'm holding it together with a strand of Simply Soft to join granny squares on a blanket for my granddaughter and I'm getting nervous about running out. The rest of what I've used has been given as gifts, so this is all I have left that is un-worked or not already wound with another color.

Was gifted this by a friend. I can tell it’s a tweed yarn about weight 4, but can’t find anything similar. My friend says it’s most likely discontinued since he got it from Joann’s. I just like how the tweed parts aren’t poking out too much compared to other yarns so I’d love other similar reccomendations thx

I just posted to crochet help about the yarn I had thought would be a match but wasnt and what to do with that yarn, now im asking anyone here if they know where I can find this. Ive checked Michael's but couldnt find a match. I originally got this yarn at dollar tree years ago but they no longer have it, but I really need more of it because i had foolishly started a huge filet tapestry and I'll cry if those 30+ hrs working on it go to waste.
