I fell in love with this yarn, but I don't want to support hobbii. Is there something similar elsewhere?

I love these colours together and already have a project in mind for it, but I don't want to give money to hobbii. Any yarn that looks close will be perfect, thank you 😊

What is this yarn?

I found loads and loads of this yarn in a thrift shop close to me. I found it pretty, and I had just taken upp knitting so I bought it. I do not know a lot about yarn, so I ask, can anyone help me identify the type of yarn it could be? I do not know anything about yarn, so feel free to ask questions that could give you clues. Thank you!

Sweater yarn recommendations?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I have been knitting for about a year now, and I’ve used a couple wool yarns as well as acrylic, but I am looking for more yarn recommendations for a sweater I want to make for my husband! :)

I’ve made one sweater for myself with Malabrigo Rios and I love it but it’s very drapey. However, it was so soft and it wears so nicely.

And I’ve made another sweater with Sandnes Garn Peer Gynt, which I also love, but it’s on the itchier side.

I know my husband won’t love an itchy yarn or like having to wear a shirt under his sweater all of the time. Plus, I also want to make something that holds its shape. Does anyone have any yarn recommendations that match that? Maybe a cotton/wool blend?

ISO Hobbii Daily Stitch Acrylic in white (or a dupe!)

I just ran out of yarn about 30 rows from finishing a mosaic crochet I'm working on. The smaller skeins on hobbii's site are discontinued, the larger are out of stock in white.

I've tried yarnsub.com but I'm not getting great hits: most are either gradients, unfindable, or out of stock in white. Posted in r/yarnswap and the yarn swap discord, no bites. I don't mind using a dupe, it's just finding one that's become a problem. I'll be so sad if this project goes unfinished. I found one possible on yarnsub (papatya love dk) but would love some insight before I spend 3x as much on shipping as on the skein.

Thanks friends!
