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.

Post your store links here for any of your yarn or yarn related business. Please tell us about yourself but do not post huge wall of text. Thanks.

Debating between yarn and yarn winder if anyone has recommendations

I got a gift card for Amazon and don’t know what to get so obviously I thought yarn. It looks like lion brand and cascade are more expensive there. Do you have and brands or recs people may not know about?

I dislike wool but like alpaca, I like cotton and acrylic also but willing to try new things!

So many beauties added to the collection, can’t wait to use it!

I am trying to do a new project, a scoodie. a scarf hoodie.

The pattern calls for brushed acrylic.

I have tried finding someone in Canada and am having a hard time finding this type of yarn. what would be a good alternative?

I’ve got a white scarf I want to dye in a spotted calico cat color and pattern, will these dyes work? It’s 100 percent superwash merino

I got this yarn at a thrift store a few weeks ago. No label or anything. Any ideas on what it might be, what weight, what material, etc.? Ty!

I’ve been searching for 2 months and it’s NOT: Rasta in unicorn bark, Franca in party, Madelinetosh in Kauai, Plymouth Grande in 143, Savvy in all color ways, Alla Prima in field blossom, Lana Grossa Confetti.

All ideas are welcome! Looking for a yarn that’s: Super bulky, wool, speckled with hot pink, orange, yellow, purple and teal on white/offwhite.

I got this yarn from Joann’s for a donation project. It’s Red Heart Stripes in Retro Stripe. It’s perfect for this project, but I’m loving the color and would love to buy something similar in a hand dye or similar. It’s like neon sherbet colors or neon pastels, if that makes sense? Thoughts on where you’ve seen anything like this?

Does anyone know a pattern i could use to knit a similar nursing cover? Theirs is $90 and that is just ridiculous. Ill be looking to use a cotton yarn. Thanks guys!
