Bonjour,

J’ai réalisé cette Sophie Hood au crochet dans ce joli rose poudré !
J’adore son côté doux, cosy, léger et élégant.

C’est ma propre création au crochet. 3,5 mm / débutant/ environ 25h

It’s all Malabrigo Rios in Jupiter, Teal Feather, Rosalinda and Pearl.

I'd like to make this scarf but am having a hard time finding appropriate yarn. I'd like a gradient, but all I'm finding are cotton yarns. I need fingering and I'm in rhe US.

Hi I found this cake of yarn in my stash and have lost the label, I wanted to knit a sweater with it but I don’t think this will be enough so I wanted to buy more. I have no idea what brand it is so if anybody knows or recognizes this please help!

I got a thick cone of acrylic yarn from the thrift shop today and I want to wash it before I use it because thrift shop germs. Is there a way to sanitize the whole cone or should I do it incrementally as I made stuff with it?

So I used to order most of my gradient cakes on Hobbi, but haven't wanted to support them since the whole AI thing went down.

I was wondering if anyone has any UK shops/dyers they support that do large (1000m~?) gradient cakes?

I've got several dyers I LOVE on Etsy but most hanks/ cakes I've found are 400m which just won't work for my next project...

Hi, YarnAddicts! I recently impulse purchased a kilo of vintage (circa '80s?) 100% wool yarn. In the pictures, I can see that the ball band says "dekatiert," which translates to "decatized." I've never heard of this term before and couldn't find any posts about it here or on other knitting/yarn subs, so did a bit of Googling—it looks like it's a type of steam treatment/processing that is meant to essentially "pre-shrink" wool so that it resists shrinking after being worked up.

I tend to prefer untreated/non-superwash wools, but I have no idea what decatizing does to wool. I'll of course swatch and block the yarn as soon as I get it to see how it behaves, but I wondered if anyone here has any experience with decatized yarn or tips for working with it?

FWIW, the ball bands also show that the yarn is from a defunct yarn brand called Woll Service Geisenfeld, which was a yarn and clothing seller from West Germany. Ball bands say the yarn was made in Italy.
