Ive been on mission where I want to use most of my yarn for something. Because I have multiples of yarn that was mentioned for a project (mostly sweaters) that I didn't like and couldn't find anything else to use it to.

One of these is this Drops Alpaca yarn (I don't remember which colours). I love the yarn. The colours are beautiful, the yarn is soft and easy to work with. I just hate using sports weight yarn.

But I found pattern where I could hold it double and it looks amazing so far! I am happy I get to use this yarn and I am actually falling in love with it again.

I love it actually so much that I contemplate using in future as held double!

does anyone know a good yarn alternative for the Penny Gloves by Petite Yarns available in the US? I’d love to do something with soft cashmere.

Vegging out making granny squares with this super pretty fingering weight yarn dyed by the owner of a local yarn shop in Concord, NC. The color is Broken Yolk.

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a sweater quantity of really good yarn (Knit Picks City Tweed in Brocade for anyone wondering) and now I can barely look at my two unfinished projects because I’m so excited about making this sweater. Never mind that I felt exactly the same way when I started the blanket that’s just over halfway done, and the pillow that I swear I’m gonna finish soon. Maybe I should take this opportunity to finally weave in the ends of that washcloth set? No. No. No. must just sit and daydream about how soft and cozy the new wool is going to feel. This is the way

Just impulse bought 3 400g cones of this yarn with no project in mind. What should I crochet?

Hello fellow yarn lovers! I was recently given a beautiful stash of yarn and some of the yarn I was given is SO thin. I've been knitting/crocheting for probably abt 20 years now but I can't for the life of me think of what I could make with these yarns! Pictures to show how thin they are. The blue is a cotton I'm p sure, and the purple/pink multicolor is wool (or a high wool percentage blend) all ideas are very welcome!!

Going through handed down stash of yarns, there is some of the James C Brett Zodiac in there.

Question is I don't know what types of things it could be crocheted or knitted into? Anyone have any experience with it, or have used it for anything in particular? Or even any pattern suggestions??

I'm considering purchased Ruidi needle set, but I heard their cable is awful. Does anyone know other applicable cable for Ruidi?

Anyone have experience with difference in gauge using wooden and metal needles? I have knitted the body with wooden ones, that I like the best, but now I want to knit the sleeves with 25 cm needles that only exist in metal.

I think I will knit looser with metal needles as they are smoother will just try and see how it goes, but wanted to hear peoples experiences. 🙂

Looking to find a set of cheep/cheep-ish wool or wool blend to use for the motif on my tapestry crochet. I was originally going to use acrylic but did the burn test on my mystery yarn and determined its wool so I’d feel bad using acrylic for the motif when the rest of the sweater is a nice wool. Looking for something that’s got regular or mini skeins in the full rainbow of colors including browns, black and white but aren’t super bright primary colors. Something very muted and sophisticated- worsted weight. Does anything like that exist without spending $$$?

I was just wondering how some yarn brands (like red heart super saver) don't have dye lots? Like they can't guarantee that the color is going to be exactly the same every single time unless they do extreme quality control and get rid of anything that doesn't match exactly. I feel like it would just be easier (and more cost effective) to show the due lot on each skein. Idk if anybody would actually have an answer to this, i was just wondering.🤔

Hi Aussie crocheters! What are we all using for summer wearables? There are so many cute things I want to make for my kids but it's so damn hot here and yarns that are lightweight enough just seem to be too hot.

Happy to buy in store like spotlight or order something online but just not sure what to get.
