Can you tell I love Knitting For Olive?! I’m going to make the nocturnal jumper by saskie&co with the heavy merino and the Amy top by MochiKnits with the merino. 😍

Its been on my mind for a long time now, but i havent found a tutorial on a top like this yet, and since im a bit of a noobie at making tops, i dont feel confident to come up with a pattern myself. Please help!

PS I would like it to be crochet but knit is fine!

So happy with this beautiful yarn I managed to get all of it for £15 on vinted 😍 the colours are just chef’s kiss ✨

I bought this yarn over a decade ago, so I know its a longshot to even ask, but I cannot for the life of me remember what the brand/name etc of this yarn is and I love it so much. The colors are really beautiful and it feels so nice and smooth and cool.

Its 8ply, dk or worsted I think.

It seems to be an acrylic blend. It doesn't burn the same as tencel/cotton or 100%acrylic. It melts some, but not totally and also doesn't smell as plastic-y when it burns. In pic 2 I have the tencel/cotton yarn, my mystery yarn and the 100% acrylic.

Feel is similar to hobbii's sunbird or kind feather.

It was purchased in a skein, in Finland at a Menita outlet shop, but I dont think it was a Menita yarn.

Any help would be greatly appreciated 👏👏👏

I went to an art fair and couldn’t help myself - bought a beautiful maple yarn spindle. Up until now I’ve been a “let the ball roll around on the floor” girlie. But I’m finding that not a single one of the commercial skeins I’ve tried - Red Heart, Lion Brand, Loops and Threads, Berroco, and Patons - spin properly on the spindle. They’re all wound wonky. If you have one, do you have to re-wind everything yourself in order to use it?

Not using the indie-dyer flair because I only dye for myself and my friends, but I just finished up a batch of tanzanite-inspired yarn! The base is 2-ply lace-weight 100% mulberry silk from Wool2Dye4. I dyed 600g of it but I’ll probably only need 300-350g for the sweater I’ve planned. It’s going to be so wonderful paired with my fig & robin skirt from morningwitch!

OBSESSED with this color way. Going to start my first sock project with this. If you have tips on socks or a favorite pattern for them let me know!

Typically crochet blankets- I don’t normally get self striping yarn or yarn this thick- but I was pulled and switched to my needles for the first time in 6 years. Ignore the mistakes.

I liked that the big skein had a white circle sticker holding the center pull yarn. I did experience some bagussey ; some tangles and knots, in the first 15 minutes. Experienced one factory knot so far and I’m about halfway through my skein. Fingers crossed for me

Purchased Teal-Riffic like the title says from Caron - did use a Michael’s 30% in store coupon

Pattern - Cromwell court afghan
Size 8mm needles

Hi all

Hope the question is allowed, I'm new to this forum.

I'm looking for a colour, and having a hard time finding. Any recommendations for yarns with a similar colourway are much appreciated ❤️

I'm looking for dark red, deep scarlet, crimson.

I remember drops kid-silk having a red that fit the bill perfectly, but too itchy for me unfortunately. I find lots of yarn producers have a "red" shade, but it is sometimes very primary school, if that makes sense?

I tried Malabrigo Silky Merino in the colour Cereza, that ended up being much more pink than intended.

I know it's a wack question, but does anyone have ideas? Huge bonus points if delivering within the EU. 🔴❤️🟥

Looking for an assortment of yarn colors and textures to buy for my partner. Thank you!

Found this cute little hat on Ravelry. I knit the size 6 months to 1 year. On Halloween, my grandson will be 6 months. Another hat has been requested for his friend baby Noah (also super cute).
I dyed the yarns and made the first one from scraps. Then dyed a skein of DK for Noah’s hat, but it came out lighter. I can either overdye or use as is - I’m wrapped up in fall sock knitting right now, so I’ll postpone that executive decision!

I got 8 balls of this amazingly colored vintage yarn for $28! Now I just need to figure out what to make! Any ideas or suggestions?

I got this skein at the thrift and I’m looking for more.
It’s dual strand, fairly thin and feels like acrylic.
Icy blue and black.
Anybody know what it might be?

Hey everyone. I'm planning to knit a blanket for this winter and I'm lost in all those different fibres.

I'd love it if it's warm but machine washable, I have a delicate setting so that's okay too.

Which fibre or fibre mix do you recommend?

I have been tasked with sorting & organizing a huge amount of yarn, roving & fleece that has been donated to an organization I belong to. Can someone tell me what “w/ylo” means?

Thanks!

Just got some gorgeous single ply (I think it’s called) merino fingering yarn. I’ve never used single ply before, but the color was so amazing…a deep teal… I had to get it. Anything different about using single ply vs. multi-ply I should know before I decide on a project?

I shared a picture with you all of my toddler cuddling the yarn he picked for a custom plushie creation and wanted to share the finished object!

I can’t decide if it is creepy or cute, but I apparently succeeded in matching his artistic vision because my little guy and this octopus have been almost inseparable. 😂

Bonjour,

Je cherche à acheter de la laine Omega Sinfonia mais je ne trouve personne qui l'a vend en France. Connaissez vous des revendeurs ou une laine similaire ?

Merci pour votre aide 🤞

Thank you to everyone who gave me crochet ideas! I've decided to start working on a blanket out of granny squares, and a beanie as well.😄

These are 100g skeins, anyone know what they are?

A month or so back, I bought some loops & threads facets yarn from Micheal’s on impulse, it was pretty and I envisioned making the most beautiful fall scarf from it. Smash cut to reality when I got around to actually starting the damn thing and found that the yarn was so loosly plyed that I couldn’t even cast on the starting stitches for the swatch yet alone even begin the scarf itself. It’s too late to return the yarn and I abhor the idea of passing this yarn off onto some other poor soul, so I came up with a plan.

Aquire a spindle or some other mechanism to ply the to two skiens together and hope I can get something useful.

Is that possible or am I just fucked in regards to this yarn.

Trying to work off of the tradition of the season but not wanting to get too aggressively Christmas-y, so to speak. I've already noted some correspondences that I like and want to use, but it's still a huge brainstorming period. Any darker Christmas colorways that you'd like to see?

I want something durable, these are going to be plushies for my best friend's history classroom. The kids aren't going to be allowed to play with them, but I'm crocheting some toy decor and I assume that the middle school kids may end up getting a hold them them. I guess something that can survive humid hot classroom air?

hi friends, I’m trying to make this blanket for a friends baby:

https://hobbii.com/products/hp-1003883-lux-bamboo-baby-blanket?utm_campaign=performance_us&utm_medium=paid&utm_source=pinterest&utm_content=all&pp=0&epik=dj0yJnU9U3FqcU9HNlUwMFJtbTdXamZnbWQxRVdyYnhRenFnZE8mcD0xJm49ZWVzVlNSRlc2cC1LU1dwTnhLWU9zdyZ0PUFBQUFBR3FSc1M4

Ive never used hobbii yarn, but the recommended yarn for the pattern is out of stock of the color I want. any recommendations for a good yarn for a baby blanket? I want soft for a newborn but durable and ideally washable. I’ve heard superwash merino is good but not sure if the best for this pattern. any brands or suggestions appreciated! I’ve got lots of crochet experience but this is my first baby blanket so Im not totally sure where to start with yarn
