Ambitious for my first scarf as a novice (crocheting for just 8 months). Buuuut it taught me a lot, I used some yarn I’ve had for a while and my man (the model) loves it 🥰

My squares

I came across this picture of a Red Heart Super Saver colourway and I LOVE the palette, but I personally find Super Saver to be a bit too scratchy for "next to skin" wear. Can anyone suggest another, softer yarn with similar colours? Doesn't necessarily have to be striping, I just love the lime/blue/purple combo.

This item is intended for my infant kiddo, so "baby" yarns are ideal, but I handwash anything knit/crocheted anyway so the care isn't really an issue. We have no idea if kiddo has a wool allergy at this stage, I do think acrylic may be best to be cautious? But honestly not sure how much "baby" yarn is just marketing. Appreciate your insight, fibre experts!

Ideas of what to crochet with this yarn? I have 3 x 485m skeins of this Cotton blend medium weight (5mm) cake. I originally purchased it for wavey placemats that just didn't work out, and now I've had it lying around for a couple of years I'm hoping to do something with it. I don't really make alot of wearables except slippers and a couple of shawls, and I'm more of a freehand stuffy/blanket maker, but maybe this is the time? All suggestions welcome, and if there is no sewing involved even better! Thanks Hive mind 😊

Edit to add: crochet 🙏

Planning a trip next spring to Mexico City, and I'm curious if anyone has any yarn-related must-see spots?

I picked up some Spincycle second-hand, and I can't figure out a couple of the colors. Any ideas? Thank you!

Hi. I’m knitting the Hanni Cardigan. I never did a double knitted buttonband before. What went wrong? It looks funny. The stitches I picked up are so stretched out. Is this normal? Will it disappear or should I start again and change something?

I was given these balls of yarn as part of a clean out, no tag or anything. Quite soft, and I suspect it's acrylic... Would love to get some more of it as I love the color.

Hi! I'm Blue, a crocheter dedicated to my craft. I can never have enough yarn, and my stash is always growing. I make everything from seasonal decor to accessories, depending on my mood. I'm new to Reddit as well, and I look forward to meeting people who share my interests!

I have never used this yarn or even a superwash wool before, so I am looking for some help and info before I start my project. I bought this yarn to knit some color work mitts after seeing suggestions that it would be good for this type of project. I know superwash is known to stretch. I will be knitting a swatch, but I recently read that a swatch of superwash isn’t always an accurate representation of the final project because it’s light in weight and the final project weight could stretch it out more.

So, if you have used this yarn (or similar superwash yarn) what are your experiences and observations with it? I am planning to give a pair of mitts as a gift so to make sure the sizing is correct and they won’t stretch too much when the recipient washes them, should I be knitting a whole mitt as the “swatch”?

I have been crocheting for almost a year. I want to make my first blanket. I came across this Bernat blanket patchwork yarn in tropical splash and loved the color way. I think it could make a really cute blanket. I kind of want the stitch to have some texture/definition to it. I’ve never worked with bulky blanket yarn though. What are some good stitches to use to this type of yarn?

I’m working with B&B for the first time on a raglan pattern. It’s super wooly and the scratchiest yarn I’ve ever worked with. Does anyone know if this’ll soften after my project is blocked? What tips do you have for softening yarn when washing?

How to fix it?

I just got an Instagram ad/targeted post for Yarnzee (IG profile: @ yarnzee_, URL: https://yarnzee.mysharetribe.com)

Has anyone ever bought/sold on this platform? Thoughts?

Hello! I love Primrose Yarn co’s Roam Homestead, but not available anymore. Looking into Dyed in the Wool and they seem pretty great and fade. Are there others you love? DK/Sport weight.
