the store was absolutely PACKED with yarns, so soft, and beautifuly hand dyed merinos, kid mohairs, and some mixed yarns with marino and silk 😭😭 i wish i could live inside this store, honestly

They had a wholesale section that you could buy yarn per weight! 100g skeins ware about 470 UYU (about 12 USD) and 1320 UYU per kg (33 USD/kg), so great pricing too

I know not everyone will be able to come all the way to south america, but if you do, add montevideo to your tour, the city is so pretty and there is this little piece of heaven 💖

So thrilled with how my natural dyeing project is going! I’ve set out to make as many colors as I can with items collected from my property and finally got some semi-vibrant colors with this weekend’s batch.

Yellow and green are from dried magnolia leaves (green from iron wash) and lavender and blue are from fresh dewberries (blue from baking soda modifier)!

So far I’ve only tested with 100% wool yarn but going to start plant-based fibers soon. I’m building out a binder with all the colors I can make throughout the year and so far I’m off to a pretty good start! Now just looking to increase the saturation to really make these colors stand out

I saw a fifteen second video on IG and immediately lost it in the algorithm but thought, I can do that. I bet I can do that. And it turns out, I can! I did!

I started this a few weeks ago, and I’m really enjoying the lack of pattern requirements, the fast pace, and the usefulness of the product.

But I don’t even know what they’re called, really? I’m unaware of any subcultures attacked to them? I don’t know anybody else who makes them? I haven’t even really found an appropriate google?

Just reaching out to the Great Reddit Gods to see if anybody else has info, or joy, or stories, or ideas, or anything, really.

Cheers!

it’s my first time trying out mohair and i can’t quite seem to figure out where it begins and where it ends? 😅 there are these little tied knots that can’t come undone because they’re going through all the fibers, do i cut it, do i undo them, help!!! lol

Hello!

I ‘d love to hear what do

You think? I wound a sock yarn as 2 ball. Then I noticed one is very vivid color but rest of half is very lighter color.

I feel like my project will be totally different tone. In real life one speckle is much lighter with not like other one.

my boyfriend just texted me this. he found someone on FB marketplace selling 12 jumbo skeins of big twist yarn for $50, chatted with her and ended up getting 20 for $35!! what a steal. most are untouched.

My LYS had an amazing natural dye class. This is merino Bouclé and brushed Bouclé that were dyed with the same exact dye but I only processed the brushed yarn once. If you ever get the opportunity to try natural indigo dyeing I highly recommend it!

Also, any suggestions for small projects with Bouclé yarn would be great as it isn’t something I’ve worked with before — thanks!

Saw this pattern on a sweater once and I'd really like to recreate it. However, the website in the screenshot uses machinery to achieve this pattern. Is there a tutorial to recreate this pattern without any machinery?

Thanks.

Edit: mystery solved!

Hi! I really like Roll With It Melange yarn and how the colors change but I can’t find a color way that has the kind of tones I’m looking for. I’m crocheting with the color Theater and while it’s pretty, it’s quite grey and green mostly. I’d like something similar and am hoping someone might have one in mind. I got these patterns from a deck called The Granny Square Card Deck. I posted a photo in case anyone is interested in trying them.

Can anyone identify this yarn? The yarn is 250g/1000m and is either 100% cotton or a cotton acrylic blend. Could be a variation of yarnart flowers or Rosegarden, or an old Hobbii twister, or sultan, or something similar, but I can't find this color anywhere. TIA

It was given to me by a friend and I want to see if Ravelry has any patterns for it. I think it's natural fibre. It's very soft.

Spent more than anticipated, but think I did ok! The whole bottom row are indie hand dyed
