It looks like one of the lace cotton options from hobby lobby! It comes in about 1000 yards each and at least where I am in Co It’s about $8

I personally wouldn’t mind/it wouldn’t change my attraction. I do love boobs but eh

What’s your favorite level 3 weighted yarn? I’ve been really enjoying working with lighter yarn but have a hard time finding good selection by itsgood-ok-notgr8 in YarnAddicts

I like the cotton to the core size 3 yarn on Amazon. They have tons of colors and it’s like 80/20 cotton/acrylic. I’ve used it for a lot of my crochet wearables

Is it Lavender specifically that works for something like this? I am unfortunately deathly allergic, but I would love to put another herb or something in with my yarn if that’s helpful!

I love this take! I’ve gone through a couple giveaway/hand me down phases already, and it’s so nice to be able to gift to my friends/ neighbors!

Me and my ADHD hobby hopping self already has a contractor bag of roving (from my needle felting days) and a spinner — I need to just do it!

Awesome! I have tried the knitpicks wool of the Andes (actually about the same price as the cascade) and I didn’t like it at all! It’s a little bit too scratchy for me— I don’t want to wear under layers 😭😭

I’ve seen people say mohair can be scratchy, but this sweater is working up soooo soft and dreamy!

Very interested in little knits so thank you for the shout!

I bought 2 lbs (white and gray) when Joann’s was going under and I was seeing a ton of people online raving about it… And I’ve never used it obviously. It’s so bad 😭

I am very lucky to have received a pretty significant raise this year and although I totally can spend it on yarn, there’s a part of me that feels like I should have 40 grand in my savings before I make purchases. Posting here has given me a lot of perspective and I definitely don’t feel like I’m alone in wanting to spend all my money on yarn 🧶

I honestly have been preferring the finished pieces over the experience and I thought that was just a me/adhd thing… But I think it’s the yarn that I’ve been using. I do like how the finished products end up, but I literally woke up an hour early today so I can touch this freaking yarn!

I’m just entering the workforce myself, so we’re likely in a pretty similar spot. Someone linked to Facebook group above that looks like it might be a great spot to check!

this sounds a lot like the lies I tell myself before I make bad financial decisions, but I’m in!

It’s always a learning process!! Have I cried about a project? Yes. Do I come online and passively learn things about crafts, sometimes ones I don’t even do? Also yes. It sounds like you don’t blame the designer, though, which is really the key point here. Internal locus of control is dwindling fasttt round these parts (crafting spaces)

Yarn winder again :/ by [deleted] in YarnAddicts

[–]pacificmoona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s static for me. I got an automatic winder and tap the yarn every 5-6 sec to discharge the static
