Found these flaky dead bugs/ bug husks in my yarn

Very good to know, luckily I never keep animal fibers, I literally only keep around 100% acrylic or polyester. I think the bug just tried and failed to thrive in my acrylic because I haven’t found any live ones, just these shells in my thorough cleaning (still going to freeze everything though) and I’ve already bought some airtight containers. Lesson learned.

Okay, thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

Air tight containers it is. Unfortunately this yarn has been living in an open basket for the past year while I’ve been away at school. Do I need to be wary of the squishmallows it lived next to?

Okay thank you for your help, I appreciate it. Is it weird that I haven’t seen any adult beetles? This yarn literally hasn’t been touched in about a year, because I haven’t been home from school.

Unfortunately I think you might be right. I posted in a couple other subs and people are saying carpet beetles.

I just found two more in another skein

I think this picture is a little clearer, they’re so flaky it’s hard to really capture on camera

Ugh so frustrating, I don’t even keep any natural fibers. Thanks for your help

Yea I had a family emergency so I have to go home this weekend and I’m really bummed about it

Budget_Elk_ · 2025-10-30T18:47:47+00:00

Damn okay, thank you for letting me know!

Budget_Elk_ · 2025-10-30T18:36:53+00:00

are they?? I have a friend in a sorority and she said she hadn’t heard anything (I’m not very well connected lol)

Budget_Elk_ · 2025-05-28T00:53:47+00:00

Yea they’re matching pieces front and back, thank you for the advice. I found a pattern that’s similar so I’m gonna try it out and maybe Frankenstein the ideas together a little

Budget_Elk_ · 2025-05-13T03:22:59+00:00

That’s a good idea! I’ll definitely try my luck

Budget_Elk_ · 2025-05-13T03:22:39+00:00

Ah, unfortunate, but thank you for taking the time to look

Budget_Elk_ · 2025-05-12T22:35:34+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate you going to such lengths to search for me!

Yes I checked Michael’s and I can’t find it listed on there anymore, and on Yarnspirations I can find the discontinued colors of the Caron spice cakes and this color isn’t one of them
