I’m trying to use fur yarn. I have been seeing such cute makes with it and I want to try it out. However, I noticed that this comes in three strands spiraled into one strand. Do I separate the strands and use me at a time or do I use all three as one?

Need Help Finding a Good Substitute for Big Twist Plush :(

Hi! I just got into crochet and recently started my very first large project, a Christmas blanket.

I decided to use the Big Twist Plush brand (#6), because I really liked working with them on a different project earlier. I used white, chili pepper, and ivy. My only problem is I didn't calculate for how wide I wanted the blanket, and completely underestimated how much yarn I would need! My local Michael's hasn't got any of the three colours in weeks. I've checked daily online and have popped in a few times to double check as I work close by, but it's my only yarn store unless I want to drive 5 hours (I live in a very rural area).

It wouldn't really be an issue, but it's a bit of a time sensitive project as I want to gift it for my friend's upcoming birthday, so I'm worried if I buy it online it might not come in time.

I took a snip of the colours and tried Lion Brand Cover Story red and green, but the colours, especially the green was way off, though I did end up settling with their white.

Has anyone had this issue? Is there another brand that has the same texture/colours I could try to find for the red and green? Or maybe another option? I'm 10 hours deep and don't want to frog it all for lack of yarn😭

Thank you in advance!

Hi everybody!
I’m pretty new to Premier Yarn and have been eyeing it for a project but only the last few weeks. I saw they have 25% off right now, but is that common? Don’t need the materials right this second, so should I wait till Black Friday / Cyber Monday? I have no idea the frequency or scale of their sales lol

Pic is of the 2 main product lines I want in my cart.

Thanks everybody!
