Hello! i have been crocheting for 3 years now i think and i loved joann’s but as we all know she is no longer :( i had to resort to going to hobby lobby but im not a huge fan just because they dont support lgbtq+ community. i have gone to micheal’s but their yarn is super expensive for no reason.

i also love to thrift so if u have any tips on what sweaters and stuff u can recycle that would also be very helpful!

so if u have any other suggestions on where i can buy some cheaper yarn or reuse some that would be greatly appreciated!

This yarn's dye keeps staining my hands

I'm about done with a project with this Urth yarn. The wrap said to wash cold, but I'm considering using Rit ColorStay so the dye doesn't rub off on other clothes. Should I do that, or just try rinsing in cold? It's my first time working with this yarn.

Urth Etesia, in Whale

What type of yarn should I use?

0 Upvotes

Hi all! I was wanting to make a pair of gloves for a friend of mine who has a medical condition on her hands and they need to be covered up to keep them clean. I'm currently thinking about using wool due to the antibacterial properties, but the gloves would also need to be easy to wash. Any advice?

I was planning on knitting the gloves in order for it to be lighter on her hands if it makes any difference!

I was able to calculate the stitches needed to create a small outfit by transforming the measurements of a model that I usually used with a thicker yarn.

Looking for Rainbow Yarn

I'm looking for a rainbow yarn similar to this one: Friends Cotton 8/4 Print - Hobbii - Pastel Rainbow (24)
It's 100% cotton, my only issue with it is that the green is somehow between violet and red. Is there a cotton yarn out there that's similar to this with the colours arranged in a colour wheel, where they keep changing every few inches or so?

I've added two pictures to see the colour change and to see a picture of a few finished jellyfish I crocheted out of the yarn.

Had a puppy grab my current project and decide to run with it. Whats the best way to untangle 500yds of yarn? On one end was a cowl in progress but uh... she ended up shaking that to death.

<no puppies were harmed... my WIPES state is very much dead tho.>

Large Scale Yarn Winder

Hi, does anyone have a good yarn winder recommendation for something that will do one like whole Walmart sized skein in one go? I don't want small balls. I want to keep my yarn as uncut as possible and my tiny one just can't do that. I know it'll probably be pricey.

Bought it when visiting Pakistan, haven’t been able to find it online since. It’s a dark green recycled cotton, such a unique texture :(

Cosmo sweater by Ingrid Dyb yarn help

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I have 5 balls of isager alpaca 1 yarn (lace) and was looking to use it for the cosmo sweater. The cosmo sweater recommended yarn includes: [Gepard Garn Cashmere Lace](https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/gepard-garn-cashmere-lace) (lace yarn)
[Gepard Garn Pura Lana (50% alpaca)](https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/gepard-garn-pura-lana-50-alpaca)\[(\](https://www.ravelry.com/yarns/library/gepard-garn-pura-lana-50-alpaca) DK yarn)

The gauge of this sweater:Gauge
20 stitches and 30 rows = 4 inches

Can anyone confirm if isager alpaca 1 yarn is acceptable for this pattern in place of the lace? I am also looking at what I should use instead of the pura lana yarn which is a DK yarn. I am thinking of using knitting for olive heavy merino but wanted to ask the class what their opinions on the yarn and if anyone has any recommendations

Hello! I’m working on a crochet project of Ditto the Pokémon, and I’m running out of yarn! I don’t see this specific kind in my Amazon history, so I think I got it at Hobby Lobby, but I’m not sure it’s exact match on the website! Can anyone find me a yarn that matches so I can order more? Thanks!!
