10 skeins of the grey wool at $2.99 each, 9 skeins of the purple at 4.99 each, 4 of the acrylic mohair blend, 1 of the alpaca acrylic and 1 of the Icelandic. Which do you think I should get and which to pass?

Just got my first package from Denmark! This one is 84 skeins at 50g each. All Drops yarn and patterns for it all.

Hello! I've just realized that there are a few sock patterns for crocheters, even though the knitting crowd usually has these cornered (heeled? ouch.)

I know that there's a wide category of yarn called sock yarn, but I'm trying to go into my giant stash first. This is almost entirely 100% wool, with some cotton and linen, almost no blends.

My question is, do I need to use superwash? Can I use regular wool, or will that just felt up immediately in the wash? I've made sweaters before but I hand-wash and hang dry, and I'm concerned that a sock will not get that kind of care and they get way dirtier than, say, cardigans ever do. Any ideas on navigating this so I don't need to buy more yarn atm would be very helpful, thank you!

Look at all this nice yarn. I got at Goodwill for just 6 dollars. I'm broke, but it was worth it

Does anyone have recommendations for other yarns dyed like this(in my head I've been referring to them as "white and" yarns😂)? First picture is my current WIP with Drops Fabel, second picture is a sweater I knit years ago in some yarn from Hobby Lobby, third picture is Premier Painterly, which I have on my list to try next. I just really love how this style of yarn works up, especially in simple stitch patterns. But aside from just randomly stumbling across them, I haven't found a better way to search, so I figured asking a huge group of assembled yarn addicts might give me some other options to try!

If any other Canadians know, there is a type of “mini yarn” at Dollarama that comes with 8 random colours. They come in cotton or acrylic. The cotton one is perfect for my specific needs for my projects…except for the fact that I can’t pick and choose the colours. For instance, I really need a nice vibrant yellow right now and all they have is a pastel one, and I have to buy that with 7 other colors I already have a lot of.

Anyways, I want to look for yarn like this that I can order online in bulk and specific colours instead. Like I said, it’s about 1-1.5 mm thick (or lace weight - fingering weight), and I would much rather work with natural fibres. Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/4 is about 2 mm thick unfortunately.

I found these two yarns together at an estate sale. They inspired a wall hanging (I weave) that I’m now realizing I might not have enough of the orange to complete. I’m hoping these are a common brand and easy to identify, I can’t seem to find them on my own!

thank you!

trying to find a close match to the big twist burgundy yarn, photo of the yarn and project included. i started making a blanket the day after one of my cats passed, i didn’t think burgundy would’ve been a discontinued color. i’ll probably end up taking it to big mike tomorrow to try and match with something in their stock, i was just wondering if anyone had found a close color match i could order for pickup :)

I recently ordered the quantity of this yarn recommended by the Happy Camp pattern. Apparently I’ve been letting my floats get too loose and I think I’m going to run out. I’ve got a half skein and just started the first sleeve. Do you happen to have a partial skein that you are willing to part with? I’ve already spent more than I ever have on a sweater. Please help me out if you can!

I do not have a business. Nor am I planning to get one.
But I want the wholesaler price of yarn 😭
How can I do that? Can I just sign up as a business and buy it?
I just signed up for this but I’m scared that if I buy the yarn they’ll start expecting back something.

Overall idrk how this works. Pls help. $16 for 100g of cotton yarn is ridiculous.
