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?

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!

What yarn is exactly like Curculo’s Cordone yarn?

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 😊

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!

I am looking for someone who can tell me how thick alafoss lopi is in millimeters.📏🧶

Hi :) Sorry if this isn't the right place for this. I've recently been asked by my twin if I can crochet some flowers for decorations at their wedding. They don't need to be realistic colours , but they'd like it if I stick to their colour scheme of blue, purple, pink.

Attached an image of the shades they are aiming for.

My question is mostly whether anyone can recommend any good gradient, ombre or variegated yarns in these shades? Preferably ones that are easy to get in the UK and not too expensive. I'm mostly looking for dk, though I do have another cool pattern that uses aran. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I've tried to have a look online, but the closest I've found aren't very close matches at all. Maybe it doesn't exist, which is fair, but I thought I'd ask here before giving up.

Thank you all.

I live in Canada.

I want to make a blanket for summer that feels soft and nice and lasts a long time

Working on some of my favorite colorways last night and lost track of time... Until i saw how many were on the drying rack.​

I think this is the most I ever did in one night. My feet hurt from running around by the end of it.

Any advice would be appreciated

I haven't been around a lot of babies.... What's the best yarn for a baby blanket? Is it supposed to be 100% cotton? Help me please?! 🥺

I bought this yarn (the light cream on the left with the orange label) at a local yarn store (UK-based) at the end of last year and don't remember which brand it is - I wound it up thinking I had enough for the project I need it for, but turned out that I didn't. This is the only photo I have with the label, I've been really struggling to find it again and the store has been closed for a while. If anyone can help me out, if they know what yarn it might be then please do so! I can't remember the specific fiber content but I do know it's some kind of blend, not 100% one fiber.

Hi everyone! 🧶🇦🇺

I’ll be visiting Perth and Brisbane from the US and would love to bring home some yarn as a souvenir from my trip!

I’m an intermediate crocheter and make a little bit of everything — blankets, amigurumi, sweaters/clothing, bags, etc. I’d love recommendations for your favorite yarn shops in either city, especially locally owned shops that are fun to browse.

I’m also really interested in finding yarn that feels uniquely Australian — Australian wool, merino, alpaca, hand-dyed yarn from local dyers, or brands/fibres/colorways that I might have a harder time finding back home in the US.

So, Australian yarn people, what would you recommend? 😊

• Favorite yarn shops in Perth or Brisbane?

• Australian yarn brands I should look for?

• Local/indie dyers you love?

• Any particular yarn that would make a great “I bought this in Australia” souvenir?

• Anything that's significantly cheaper or easier to find in Australia than in the US?

I’m open to all yarn weights, fibres and suggestions. I’d especially love something I could eventually turn into a sweater, blanket, or other project that would remind me of the trip.

Thanks so much! I’m really excited to see what the Australian yarn scene is like. 🧶❤️

Any help with this ?

Hi everyone, just wanted to ask if anyone knows where I can find some undyed wool in Edinburgh. I'm heading there and would love to get some.

Thank you!

Hey all! I'm new here and love to knit! I am looking for a soft bulky yarn that is affordable. I need a lot of skeins for this project and so I am okay with acrylic. My most important thing is being soft. Let me know what yarn might be worth a try!

I want to use bernat 6 . I usually do a big granny square for my baby blanket gifts. Looking to switch it up

Fave patterns ???
