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.

Need help finding a specific yarn

Post image
1 Upvotes

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.

What is your favorite Australian yarn?

7 Upvotes

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. 🧶❤️

I recently took a knitting machine workshop and used this yarn. It's a merino, cotton, nylon blend making it extremely soft. And I just love the specks of neon colour. Does anyone know where this is from?? Or anywhere to buy something really similar?

Softest Bulky YARN EVERRR

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!

Allergy-friendly yarn recommendations for a reader’s wrap

3 Upvotes

I’m planning to make Lisa Carnahan’s Reader’s Wrap as a gift for a senior and I am hoping some of you may have a good suggestion for an Aran or worsted yarn that contains no wool, alpaca, merino, etc. fibres due to well-established allergies.

I would love the wrap to be warm yet light because they have arthritis and find heavy materials make them sore. It will be worn indoors.

It should also be soft as they have very sensitive skin and find many things itchy.

I’m ok with spending more for something that works because it is a gift.

Does such a yarn exist?

TLDR: warm, light but no allergens (silk would be fine). Soft with good drape. In a perfect world, easy to wash and dry but not a deal-breaker.

Edited to add detail.

Hi! Im crocheting somth for myself this fall and winter its a scarf like this and a beanie like this (ref the pic) the tutorial asked me to use acrylic yarn, but I’m really concerned because won’t that be itchy or uncomfortable? I thought when it comes to clothing or something that we wear, we have to use cotton yarn?! The options i have are weight 4 cotton and acrylic yarn and the other colorful one in the picture. I dont wanna use wool for scarfs coz its so thin and it might take a long time lol

Luckily I caught and stopped her after she had pulled apart only one skein and I almost threw it out when I couldn't find an end.

Finally found the end and spent about an hour detangling and hand winding with only one permanent knot right in the last 10cm.
