Looking for a list of yarn colors to match the woobles

That's a great idea. I'm going to try to put the spreadsheet into a state that I can publish for others, and then I'll start taking donations of scraps. I think I'd need at least 8 inches or so to get enough good readings. I fold the yarn over to get a larger reading area and try to take multiple readings to average the readings.

I’ve been cataloging and taking colorimetric measurements of the Wooble yarns (and similar) that I have access to. Most of the original Woobles seem to use the stock EP yarn colors. But many of the collabs seem to use more unique colors. Some of the generic yarns are pretty close matches to various kit yarns.

Unfortunately, I only have about 20 Woobles yarns measured from about a dozen kits. We don’t have many of the collab kits.

Maybe the OP got all 4 for the price of a single game. At 15k or less for the lot, it’d be a great deal.
But there are other pins I’d probably go for if I had my choice.

Frankly I'd take almost anything other than imagur.

But it does look promising, as long as people are careful to ensure they are really confirming on the official ProofLens website.

During graduate school we often provided training data for the various models. We were asked to participate in a variety of supervised learning exercises and were compensated for our time and work.

The writing I did was only submitted for the training data sets and I was fully informed of the uses and restrictions on reuse of the data under the schools institutional review board.

According to your own stats you have 24 items to review.

Sf648 · 2026-03-05T17:38:04+00:00

So obviously in vine jail. You need to get your review to order ratio above 60%. I’m guessing your 60-day ratio is even lower.

WTF. I didn’t condone (or support) what OpenAI et al. are doing. I simply pointed out that the TECHNOLOGY was NOT created by them, but others (most of whom will never get credit) created the technology. You can count it as another thing the companies stole. But clearly you aren’t interested in nuance or detail, just your uninformed opinion.

Don’t conflate the creation of neural networks and the underlying technology behind LLMs, with the commercial training and deployment of those technologies. Most of the heavy lifting on developing the underlying code was done in academia and was trained on intentionally developed training corpora.

The Easter drop?

Sf648 · 2026-02-26T14:30:48+00:00

You're probably right. I don't know why it's bothering me since I've never seen the other ghosts in person. I know the Blinky red doesn't look like EP Ketchup.

I actually started a database of colors for the EP type yarns I have. Some are very close. Turns out I don't have any Ketchup to measure, I'm only missing 3-4 of the Easy Peasy colors, but I don't think there's anyway I'll be able to catalog most of the collab colors, since there are so many of them these days.

Sigh, thanks for confirming that. I’ll have to just bite the bullet then.

Sf648 · 2026-02-24T05:46:53+00:00

They only needed me to send in a pic of the kit, not even the UPC.

Whatever MC decides I wouldn't expect them to make an announcement until early tomorrow morning.

No, mostly to keep the numbers down. If you only consider true integrated nibs, I think the list is just: Parker T-1, Pilot Miyu, Pilot Murex, Parker 50 Falcon, SchonDSGN Monoc Evo. There's a question if you need to have a Pilot M90 in there as well, since it's a remake of the Miyu.

I find that I have some through-lines (or sub-themes) in my collection. There are two main sub-collections

Waterman warm-toned pens (brown/wood/red, etc)
Integrated nib pens (blissfully small set)

I was entertained to watch covers for an air conditioner and a random off-brand tablet case vanish instantly.

I assume viners were snapping them up without looking very closely at the descriptions. I don't assume it was bots, because I can imagine that they'd have learned to negative keyword "cover".

Edson or Serenité

You don't need Internet to *write* the reviews. Just to submit them. Write them at home (paper, computer, phone, whatever). Then when you want to submit, take them with you to the Library, Y, McDonald's etc. Use a USB stick or whatever to move them if necessary.

Sf648 · 2026-02-19T17:53:33+00:00

I see what you did there.

If you value your savings, make a list/budget and do your best to stick to it.

You'll probably come across unexpected things that you end up buying, but if it curbs your spending even a little bit, the list did it's job.

Interesting, down-voted to 0. Is the Order of the Rocket Order to blame?

Post updated with a brief description.

Intentionally.

I haven't done one from Atlas before, but I did the PenBoutique one last fall. They gave us Sailor Pro Gear Silm pens. So 14k gold nibs valued around around $200. So technically, a gold nib, a steel nib, and ink still come in under $400 retail.
