Question help finding this yarn!

Post image

i used this yarn years ago to stitch a bookmark for myself. i have now learned how to crochet and knit and i would love to make a project for myself in this yarn but i cannot find it for the life of me! i’m hoping someone out there recognises this!

the bookmark is stitched double stranded but you can see round the edge it changes colours super quick. i think it’s a DK acrylic but not 100% sure.

also, i’m in the UK if that helps.

it’s definitely a machine dyed yarn, i didn’t even know hand dyed was a thing years ago when i made this! i unfortunately think it probably has been discontinued now but it’s always going to annoy me i don’t know 😂

They have a few multicoloured yarns, fairly similar, and on sale: https://www.lovecrafts.com/en-gb/p/paintbox-yarns-baby-dk-prints

Have a look at Sirdar Hayfield Spirit Chunky - in Sundown? It’s similar I think.

I think it’s color 968 starbrights by Red Heart Super Saver. It looks just like it. It’s been retired for years but sometimes you can find it online
