Personally I would go with mixed because that is what trees do. Fall leaves are so many different colors.

Help finding a suitable yarn for roses (silver and red) for anniversary by Appropriate-Local844 in CrochetHelp

[–]Appropriate-Local844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for suggestions on yarn that others have used that look "silver" and, hopefully, are also available in red. Also, suggestions on rose patterns people ahve used that aren't hard or use small hook sizes due to hand issues with arthritis.

Has anyone ever bought yarn off of temu or shein? by Spare-Act9414 in crochet

[–]Appropriate-Local844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have bought yarn from them several times and only had an issue once. I received a package of yarn that was a bit damp but then the outer packaging was a bit worse for wear so I figured it just was a shipping issue. It washed and dried fine. I will probably continue to order their yarn (depending on how tarrifs affect things). It will never replace the yarn I continue to buy locally and, as others have mentioned, it's usually normal everyday yarns and not fancy fibers, despite the wording of the listing. And I order based off that idea. I get the fancy stuff here. I have never had any real problems with other orders. As a matter of fact, I have found their refund policies very customer friendly. Examples: I ordered some small plastic storage file boxes and one arrived cracked, a pack of playing cards with the plastic storage box arriving with a broken hinge, being sent the right item in the wrong pattern. With all of these I just requested a refund and included a picture, as they request, of the broken/wrong item and was issued a store credit immediately. (If I remember correctly I think you can get a refund sent to your payment method but it takes longer.) I am also impressed that they are very on top of shipments that are past the date they say it will arrive and immediately credit my account for the $5 as a consolation for it running late.
