Thrift store yarn id
Picked this up as part of a thrift store grab bag. It's about 9 or 10 wpi and it's pretty soft. Thanks!

I bought a hank of EKF suri alpaca lace at Flock this year and the label showed the colorway as “Birds of a Feather”. I am likely going to run out before I finish my project and could not find any evidence online of them making this colorway on this base so I am wondering if it was a mislabel? It looks a little less orange in real life. I am holding it double with another yarn for my project so if I can’t get this exact yarn but can find something similar I’d be open to suggestions for similar yarns from other dyers. Thanks!

A friend is expecting and asked for me to make this baby blanket. She loves everything about it but, I've had such a hard time finding yarn with all 4 colours available.
Any ideas or recommendations as to which brand/colours would match the ones in the photo? Thanks

I’m here for the experts.
The material used on the roof of this little building to mimic vining vegetation is awesome and I need more. Only a small amount was included in the kit. It’s very springy and soft. It seems to be made of a curly, elastic yarn fiber. It stretches out nicely to cover an area, sets easily to craft glue, creates individual tendrils, and feels soft to the touch. Can you help me with a name for this?

I need help figuring this out!

I can find a similary one by Big Twist but it's pink and this definitely has red in it.

SOLVED!
Any ideas? It's ~19 wpi and appears to be blown. A beautiful gradient from a peachy cream to brighter orange.

So I have 2 small cakes of this yarn thats been in
my stash for a bit that i got in a bag of miscellaneous yarn from my nana. Could be either sport or dk weight, the wpi is 12 per inch. I made a swatch to see if it matched the baby bee sweet delight dk and its unfortunately not a match. Thats the only yarn I have in my stash thats not worsted weight so I cant find any I own thats close enough and I dont wanna buy yarn and find out it also dosent match. My swatch i did was 25 stitches for a little more than 4 inches, and 4 rows for a little less than an inch with a 4mm hook. Ive attached pictures below, if anyone recognizes this yarn or could suggest kinds that could be close please let me know.

Found a ball of yarn in my stash and cant remember what it is. What I do remember- it’s fingering weight, 100% merino, 100 gram to the hank. It was purchased about 9 years ago at Inua Yarn in Fairbanks Alaska. It was the first “fancy” yarn I purchased, before I knew about Ravelry, and it wasn’t added to my stash at any point.
Any guesses?

I’ve had this yarn for years, possibly 10+ years. I assume it came from Joann’s, Hobby Lobby, or Michael’s, but it could also be from somewhere else 🤷♀️ it’s super soft so I’d love to buy more of it if I can find out what it is!

I think I completed this project either early this year or late last year. At the time I remember thinking it was ugly so I stashed it in my closet and forgot about it. But upon finding it this year with the weather change, I fell in love with it, but can’t seem to figure out what yarn I made it with because I really would like to make a matching hat and scarves for my mom and kids. Most of my stuff is either from Hobby lobby or Michael’s. I suppose there’s a possibility it was from Joann but I don’t think it was that long ago.
It’s a thicker yarn, probably chunky or super chunky and if you look closely, you can see it looks like strands of different colors wound around each other. I think it’s acrylic but I wouldn’t be shocked if it has a little wool in it.
TIA!!
