Hello, many years ago a friend gave me two skeins of this lovely yarn. It did not come with any kind of Maker's tag. I believe it's some kind of synthetic, I've done a burn test and it smells like burning plastic and it melts or burns fully with a black charred end instead of producing ash. It seems to be fingering weight, the piece shown in the image is knitted on 3.5mm circular needles.

I would love help trying to find another yarn that is similar to this to add to the project because I'm not sure I have enough. I'm trying to make a sleeveless top. I don't currently have a proper pattern, I was just knitting with it to see how it behaved before I start the real project. Ideally I would love to know if anyone else out there has seen this color pattern and type of yarn before and knows what brand it is.

ETA: I'm mostly trying to ID this because I want to make a top out of it, but I get eczema triggered by synthetic fibers. So I don't want to use it for a shirt unless it's 100% cotton. I know how similar Hobbii's Sultan yarns are, but I'm not looking to buy more right now, I'm trying to ID the fiber.

I know for sure that I bought this yarn at Joann Fabrics (rip) in late 2017-early 2018. It's a 4 ply, very loose twist that unravels easily, and the ombre comes from changing the color of one strand at a time within the ply. It gets about 14 WPI which indicates a fingering weight. I'm not great at judging the fiber content by touch, but I'm guessing it's cotton or a cotton blend.

(This is no longer the original cake - I had used several yards from both ends and decided to frog that project, so I ended up re-winding the entire cake with my home winder. But it did come in a cake that showed off the ombre and could easily be used from either end.)

I bought this yarn at a spotlight in Sydney in approximately 2021/2022. I am trying to work out what it is. I haven't been able to try the burn test yet, I'll give it a go tomorrow morning. Anyone happen to recognise it?

I'm currently taking a course in Business Communications, and I need to write a business report. I'm trying to write this on crochet and knitting, and it would be most helpful if I could ask the group to fill out a short survey. It won't take long, but I can use it as primary evidence in the report.

So my mom and the woman in charge of our local senior center go way back (my mom was a volunteer when I was a kid and did Meals on Wheels, and I'd stay there when I was out of school). My mom will also give food to the senior center for them to cook.

My sister came in earlier with a large plastic bag of yarn and said that they had sent it to me. 💜🧶 I'm trying to identify it and I see Bernat (some skeins still have the labels lol) and there's gorgeous blue and white chenille #6 yarn and I would love to know if there's a way to identify it or see if it's been discontinued.

The rest looks like #4.

I'm going to pore over Yarnspirations to find out but this one burgundy color looks Lion Brand to me (but it feels larger lol).

I guess that I am going to have to put yarn and possible project together. I ordered this yarn for a bag I believe. Now that the yarn is here I can't for the life of me remember which bag pattern. I save the patterns and pictures on my phone. Hopefully that will work. Open to any ideas that may be helpful 💡.

Thanks 😊

Hi! I'm new to knitting and have crocheted a bit in the past. I'm trying to recreate my favorite cardigan that got damaged and can't be found anywhere online. It was made with a particularly soft almost velvet like fabric, and I've been on the hunt for yarn that has the same feel/texture. I finally found something similar and I'm excited to try my hand at making a cardigan!

My question is, can I reasonably make a cardigan with Loops & Threads Cuddle Craft Velvet? I know it's not intended for clothing but it's the closest to what my cardigan feels like. If not, any recommendations? Any help is appreciated :)
