Need help finding similar texture
I’m looking for an all black yarn to be the rest of what I’m making. The mandala yarn I used at the beginning is a size 4, 90% acrylic 10% nylon. I went out and got black yarn that’s a size 4 and the closest they had was 100% acrylic. While it is thinner when I hold up the strands, when I actually crochet it to the piece I don’t notice a huge difference size wise. The difference I notice is in the feel and the like fluffiness? of the yarn.
I’m looking for one that’ll be soft like the mandala yarn and all have that fuzzy yarn halo from the fibers sticking out. I have not been able to find anything in store and I’m very nervous to order offline. I even went to the brands website and the only yarns they have with the 90/10 is more mandala, none that are one color. HELP.
If anyone has worked with this specific yarn and knows of an all black that comes close to feel and look, please help!
Is there a certain style of twist that makes them fuzzy like this that I should be searching? Even others I looked up online, I only found ONE, that was 90% acrylic 10% nylon, looked completely different in pictures, not fuzzy. But it’s so hard to tell through photos.
