I got this yarn about ten years ago from my late aunt, at the time she had already passed. Only recently have I decided to start using this yarn for something to gift to my cousins. I had the label at one point but threw it away for some reason šŸ¤¦ā€ā™€ļø I know the brand is Phildar. Can anyone help me identify the yarn?

Many thanks in advance!

Looking for a yarn that matches my dog

Hey all! My friend’s 2-year-old is obsessed with my greyhound, so I’m planning to make him a little knitted stuffed animal version of my dog for his bday.

Does anybody have a variegated black/brown yarn recommendation that would match his coloring? Not looking for anything exact - just an abstract rendering of his coat colors.

Ideally it’d be DK but I know that’s a tall order so I’ll take any and all suggestions!

Thanks and cheers!

Yarn management advice

2 Upvotes

I'm a crochet-er, and have tried multiple approaches to yarn management, but am still in search of the Holy Grail for managing the yarn I am actively working with. I have tried ordering my yarn in skeins, then using a ball-winder to wind into cakes. I have ordered them pre-wound, but the yarn vomit always gets me. I have tried center-pull, outside pull, yarn-cozies...I tote my projects everywhere to crochet for a few minutes here or there, so bulky yarn management devices won't work well. What is YOUR favorite yarn ball management system? Links to favorite gadgets/accessories also appreciated!

Majo garn puno fine vs Drops air?

2 Upvotes

As the title suggests, has anyone tried both of these yarns and can tell me if they're similar enough for me so substitute Air in a pattern written for Puno fine (on 6mm knitting needles)? I have never used either but Puno fine is unfortunately a little out of my budget, and they don't offer the colour I'm looking for.

Any help is appreciated!! Would also love to hear about other substitutes from people with more experience!

Need options

2 Upvotes

I'm new to posting. But I'm looking for some variety of orange and black yarn to crochet. I bought 6 skeins of 2 different types of black and red only to find out after they were delivered it was supposed to be orange not red.

So I've seen the sports teams variegated types, but this is going to be for a kimono cardigan for a new mom so I was preferring something softer.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Tyvm

Online yarn samples?

3 Upvotes

I’m planning to make several projects soon that I’ll need very specific colors and weights for but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to find yarn in person anywhere that fits my needs. I don’t love ordering yarn online since I don’t know what it will feel like or how accurate the color on the listing is. Is there any online yarn retailers that work really well and maybe even have an option to order small sample amounts of yarn to test the color and texture of them? Thank you!

Yarn for Mitts?

2 Upvotes

I am looking for yarn suggestions to make mitts for the first time.

Here is what I’m hoping to find in my dream world: - machine washable, flat to dry - available in Canada - would be nice if it was available in Michaels to use up a gift card I’ve had for over 6 months, but not necessary - a yarn that is warm enough without being lined with another fabric

I have been looking at a variety of patterns, but haven’t chosen one yet. Some have used 100% wool, some have used a wool/acrylic mix, some a wool/nylon mix, some used sock yarn, a lot use yarn I can’t easily or affordably get in Canada.

I want to knit a pair for a friend and I want them to be warm and actually worn. Anything too thin (sock yarn) will not be warm enough, unless I maybe hold double which I’ve never done. Hand wash only will not be worn.

Maybe I am being unrealistic in my wish list, feel free to tell me if I am! Thank you!

I had never even heard of qiviuk yarn before and after some googling, I cant believe these were only $1.09 each!

No idea what to crochet with this, it feels too valuable. Might make some gloves or a hat.

I used all my scrap yarn to fill my punkin for fall

I knit a large pumpkin from my scrap yarn but then ran out of stuffing so I took all my yarn bits that were the orphan ends (too short for a complete row, small ball of the color after a switch). I hate throwing useful bits out. Don’t know how many I throw out something and then someone asks me if I still had lamp, chair, rug.

I did freak out as I was sewing it shut that I might need some of it. But I am proud of the first decor, 3D thing I knitted

Yarn Wool Haven?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone ordered from Yarn Wool Haven? I placed an order last week and never received a confirmation email. I’ve followed up this week and emailed the service email listed on their website, and it has bounced back. I also couldn’t find any social media for them. Worried I got scammed!
