What is this yarn??

I got this yarn at a thrift store and it’s really amazing, it didn’t come with a tag or label. Can anyone help ID it? It’s really soft and fun to work with, I’m obsessed with it and need more!!

Help ID’ing yarn

Feels just like Loops & Threads’ Facets yarn or Lion Landscape. Works up nicely and feels bulky. Any ideas? Was donated to me for making hats for children in need and the woman is now deceased, but had crocheted for many many years.

Help identifying this yarn brand?

I got these from a yard sale several months ago; they look and feel to be the same brand and there is an orange skein (light/medium orange color) and a yellow skein (bright medium yellow ), in addition to some unfinished knitted pieces in each color.

  • It feels relatively soft and I'm 90% sure it's acrylic. It looks like either sport weight or DK maybe.
  • The orange skein + the orange pieces that came with it weigh 166g. So maybe it was a 200g skein originally?
  • The skeins are roughly ~10in (254mm) long and ~2.5in(64mm) in diameter.
  • I was so sure they were the "I Love this Yarn" brand from Hobby Lobby but when I went there, the colors did not match at all. They didn't match Caron Simply Soft, Red Heart, Yarn Bee, Big Twist, or any of the other yarns in Hobby Lobby and Joann (I have not tried Michael's yet).

Please help! I foolishly started a project with the yellow yarn but I don't have enough to finish and I need to find more in this exact same weight and color...

Older, maybe wool?

Anyone recognize these skeins? Worsted-ish or maybe Aran weight. Burn test didn’t have the gooey meaty quality I associate with synthetics. Got them in a Freecycle bag of yarn that also included Lion Brand Al-Pa-ka, Patons Classic Wool, and some older Reynolds’s Lopi.

What is this? Cord like yarn, not cotton or wool

Got this from spotlight mill ends. Doesn't feel like a natural fibre. Anyone know what this is?

Help! What’s the actual name of this natural alpaca yarn color?

Hey there, I’m working on a project that is need to be done in 3 weeks and I’m running out of the yarn. It’s pure alpaca 2ply worsted. The only issue I have is the name. It’s 100% natural alpaca and I’m going to have to order more as I can’t find any locally. It’s been called a few things like fawn, rose gray, or rosy brown, or even just brown. Are there any alpaca experts who know what this color is? The photo is basically the exact color.

Looking for an old yarn

I made these two scarves out of similar yarns (just different colors, both change colors and textures throughout and were the same brand) at least 10 years ago at this point, and now I’m trying to find them again to make new matching pieces with no luck. Any ideas on brand/where to look? Found at joanns originally, but they no longer have it in the store it was from
