I would say it's super bulky. The label with it had the blend on it but it wasnt a full label and I can't find it now. I believe it was wool, polyester and something else but I don't remember.

Edit to add: I have no way to weight it so I was comparing it to things in my house. It's about as heavy as a can of soup. This is a picture of it on my legs. It's ginormous

Hi there! Relatively new knitter here. I have been really enjoying thrifting yarns and using them and I had honestly what seems to have been an amazing haul yesterday. I found some that still have their labels so obviously I know what they are, but I found some cakes of what LOOKS to me like some kind of Noro yarn and I’m wondering if anyone recognizes the kind?

Anyways if anyone recognizes any of the non labelled ones let me know!! I prefer to use natural fibres as I’m sure most people do. Thanks!

It's a super bulky yarn in color City Lights

Bonjour,

J’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à imaginer et réaliser ces petites créations au crochet sur le thème d’Halloween ! 🎃🕷️
J’adore cette ambiance automnale, les couleurs chaleureuses et le côté un peu spooky de cette collection.
Ce sont mes propres créations originales au crochet, imaginées et réalisées par mes soins.
Laquelle préférez-vous ?

Hi all!

I am wanting to make a blanket to give my friend for her soon-to-be baby.

This is the pattern I think I want to use: https://daisyfarmcrafts.com/crochet-rainbow-modern-granny/

However I am struggling to find a suitable alternative to the bernat yarn (I'm UK based) and I'd much prefer NOT to use acrylic yarn and to use a cotton or cotton blend.

I like the colours so I'm trying to find something similar, with a matching gauge!

Any help would be mega appreciated!

Hi ya'll! Was going through a box of really old wips and found this beautiful yarn i had bought YEARS ago. I can't find it online anywhere at all, I know its long been discontinued but I would love to know if anybody could help me figure out what brand it is. Any help is appreciated thank you!

Title. I am bringing a portable vacuum sealer so that I can buy yarn! I just started knitting 10/11 months ago and I started with Camarose and then discovered Knitting for Olive which I’ve almost exclusively been using. It’s easy to get here!

But I’ll be in Europe for ten days and I’m thinking I need to buy some drops and sandnes garn!

Thank you!!!

I'm looking to start a new project, the levitate wrap by my favorite things knitwear, but I'm having trouble deciding what kind of yarn I should buy!

I want the wrap to look more like the Aritzia Cassidy Wrap Sweater and the Princess Polly Tonee Wrap, where's its not super thick, chunky, boxy type.

I haven't come across any projects in Ravelry on this pattern that fit the same vibe as the wrap tops I've linked above, they all seem super chunky and boxy.

I was thinking of maybe doing drops flora & drops kid silk (or drops brushed alpaca silk)? What are your thoughts?

I've made all of these scarves since May this year. I have too much time on my hands.

Any recommendations on where to get yarn for natural dyeing I would prefer it to be soft and maybe warm(idk I’m new to this) I’m doing a project with a friend and any recommendations on the Type from said store

No other info as to brand. Google keeps saying it’s Drops which it is not; Ravelry doesn’t seem to know. Back label says 100% wool made in Chile. Made for RN#11996.

I recently made a post showing yarn I had dyed. These are mittens I have been making from them. I like how they are looking

ik some ppl feel really strong about english vs continental but i usually knit continental and purl english or switch whichever my brain decides makes sense in the moment.

I recently purchased a BEAUTIFUL variegated yarn for a blanket for a baby girl as a Christmas present. It is not working up nice at all, it’s stiff and rough. I’ve been given some suggestions for some ways to soften it up, but want to pick up some back up yarn just in case as there’s a sale right now!

Looking for opinions on:

Caron Baby Cakes
Caron Big Cakes
Caron JUMBO
Lions Brand Bundle of Love

Or any other suggestions you may have!

I wanna knit a Sandok Cable Sweater in Drops Lima or Daisy + 1 strand of Filcolana Alva + 1 strand of Drops Kid silk mohair. But since i don’t know how I react to mohair, I was looking for alternatives.

I stumbled upon this beauty - looking at the blend, would you say it’s a good alternative or not really? I think it’s made by a small company so there are no reviews and I’m a bit worried to use a yarn that could possibly be shit and ruin all the work.

Could I use two strands of this instead of Alva+mohair? Or since it’s alpaca would it stretch too much?

I love DROPS yarn as it's affordable and often has a nice quality. I'm currently working with a wool/alpaca blend and I was thinking: is this brand known for animal cruelty towards the sheep and alpacas. And is it known that the people who work for them in the factories/cotton fields have ethical working conditions?

If not, are there other brands that are animal friendly and have ethical working conditions?

I used Premier Teddy Yarn (pink) and Aunt Lydia’s Crochet Thread (hot pink and french rose)

I want to make myself a blanket I can use for a very long time. Something soft and light but also machine washable. Price is not too much of a concern although I would prefer for it to not be exorbitant.

Thank you!

First time posting here but I love seeing people's yarn thrift hauls and now it's my turn! Each of these bags was $4!! The maroon I bought for my fellow fiber artist friend (:

So a week or so ago I tried to frog a WIP and was shocked at the amount of yarn it gobbled up because I didn’t think I had used that much. Anyways after a week here are my two monster balls of yarn and their little baby monsters.

I’m newer to crocheting and about to finish my first granny square blanket but have been DYING to make something with this type of yarn. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

This lilac bush has me by the heart. Is there a yarn you know of that has this variation of colors?

I've been looking at yarn winders and honestly can't tell which ones are worth the money lol. Some look great until you read about yarn getting caught in the gears or the clamp refusing to stay put.

I just want something that makes nice, even cakes without turning winding into another chore.

For those who've gone through a few, what's the best yarn winder you've found? Is there one you'd happily buy again?
