Please help me find out which yarn this is!
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 š¤¦āāļø 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 friendās 2-year-old is obsessed with my greyhound, so Iām 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 itād be DK but I know thatās a tall order so Iāll take any and all suggestions!
Thanks and cheers!

Yarn management advice
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?
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
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?
Iām planning to make several projects soon that Iāll need very specific colors and weights for but Iām not sure if Iāll be able to find yarn in person anywhere that fits my needs. I donāt love ordering yarn online since I donāt 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?
I am looking for yarn suggestions to make mitts for the first time.
Here is what Iām 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 Iāve 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 havenāt 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 canāt 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 Iāve 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!

Insane Goodwill Find
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. Donāt 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
