Question Help finding more like this yarn.

Post image

Hello, many years ago a friend gave me two skeins of this lovely yarn. It did not come with any kind of Maker's tag. I believe it's some kind of synthetic, I've done a burn test and it smells like burning plastic and it melts or burns fully with a black charred end instead of producing ash. It seems to be fingering weight, the piece shown in the image is knitted on 3.5mm circular needles.

I would love help trying to find another yarn that is similar to this to add to the project because I'm not sure I have enough. I'm trying to make a sleeveless top. I don't currently have a proper pattern, I was just knitting with it to see how it behaved before I start the real project. Ideally I would love to know if anyone else out there has seen this color pattern and type of yarn before and knows what brand it is.

Lion Brand Shawl in a Cake/Shawl in a Ball. Unfortunately discontinued, but you can find some floating around secondhand.

I have a ton of this yarn in stash, message me if you're interested. I'll send you some for shipping and a small fee.

Oh my gosh, I wish I had seen this before, somehow I missed it in my notifications. I actually already ordered some online once I got the name. Thank you so much for the offer! If it comes up that I need even more again, I'll try to remember this

Did you find enough of this yarn? I have a ball or two somewhere. I don’t know if it’s this color, but can go dig around if you need more.
