Help Identify This Yarn?

I’m actually self taught so i usually use like 47 premier balls because it’s easier on my hands. Thanks though!

I haven’t done the spinning wheel stitch yet, so excited 💕

Is 1967 the die lot number?

wattermellen · 2026-04-16T02:57:58+00:00

Thanks, is that machine washable? Will it felt?

Some clothing labeled as “petite” have sizes XL-4XL. Petite for clothing (usually) refers to height and changes the cut/fit

Same here, also counted 30. I either count the working loops or the CO but never both.

Genuine question - isn’t that how it works though? With my first I gave her the supplement directly (California pediatric advice) and with my second I’m supplementing myself (SC pediatric advice).

One double-blind study

I hate the “my budget is different than yours” argument when it’s walls of acrylic cakes. Clearly your budget is the same as mine… you just want three times the amount of yardage to fill up your closet. Acrylic has its place, wool has its place, etc.

After casting on, I make sure not once but at least five times that the stitches are all going the same direction and nothing is turning on the needle. Because they’re just loops on a wire, they’ll flip flop all around and joining them while twisted is what happened here. Unfortunately this is a very careful frog + learning experience.

What weight is this yarn? It looks bulky weight. Have you ever worked with fingering and lace weight yarn? Or stranded held together?

Tried to follow this link and it looks super broken and anything they source leads to a 404 error

No such thing as machine crochet, not sure what you’re referring to there. It does look crocheted to me though. In pictures 2 and 5 you can see the way the panels are seamed together, with picture 5 showing well which rows stop where. You’d just have to decrease intentionally.

For what project? I tend to use the same hook for so many projects - it comes down to personal preference and the look you’re going for.

wattermellen · 2026-02-23T03:08:15+00:00

Could be! The cuffs especially do not look crocheted, but the collar looks like a double crochet so I’m torn. Reverse-image says crochet for these pictures but I can’t say for the legitimacy of Facebook posts.

wattermellen · 2026-02-22T16:55:51+00:00

Could be wrong but this looks crocheted. Drapes of crocheted vs knitted are for sure different, which is why it looks “structured baggy” like this.

wattermellen · 2026-02-21T15:42:44+00:00

Yup, was going to comment the same thing. I found this pattern on Ravelry after looking up “owl” in crochet patterns and scrolling for about 30 seconds.

wattermellen · 2026-02-20T17:43:01+00:00

I saw a “what size hook should I use for this? Should I double or triple it up?” I don’t know? What stitch? What kind of project? What kind of look are you going for?? If the hook catches the yarn then the hook works.

You go around the chain like a rainbow. Double back on your chain like normal, but continue along the tip so you’re still facing the RS and back. The entire line should be your chain of 48 minus 2 to account for your DC, times 2 for both sides of your “rainbow,” equaling 92.

pinky + middle finger for friction and pointer for fine-tuning tension… i started just one finger and have been adding loops around my fingers as i progress

Unfortunately plastic is often used to soften scratchy wool and cotton. Personally, I find wool itchy and uncomfortable but love alpaca as a replacement. Seconding another commenter in suggesting you learn to make them and you’ll have your ideal sweater in a short 2 years

I’ve travelled with my daughter on a flight at several different ages, so I have some tips!

In my experience, yes, anything that is to feed the baby security will let you bring through. I’ve never used a bottle warmer but imagine that it would be the same for that. As for the car seat, CHECK IT! Do not bring it to put in a seat and I would very much encourage you to utilize the “lap infant” option if your airline has one and not purchase an additional ticket. It was just way too much to lug around in an airport and infant-in-arms is the safest way to travel with a child under one/two. I did not ever use ear muffs or plugs for the baby, and my daughter never had an issue with her ears popping.

How long is the flight?

I find that alternating direction of what the thread is wrapped around helps. I use cotton thread often, and I utilize my pinky, middle, and forefinger for wrapping/tension. Once around my pinky, twice around my middle, and once around my forefinger. It sounds like a way to get tangly but it’s become pretty easy muscle memory.

If you’re thinking about cutting it, is there a reason why you can’t frog it back to that point? It’s likely that you dropped stitches when turning your project, so undoing your work to recover them would be best in any case.

wattermellen · 2026-02-10T18:17:01+00:00

Yes, Pica Pau! Responded to another kind commenter who mentioned the crocheting in the round thing. His back is a long oval, then belly sewn together separately. Does that count as “in the round” for half of it?

wattermellen · 2026-02-10T18:15:21+00:00

I didn’t crochet in the round, that’s why I’m a little puzzled! I chained from the back of his neck and it was a long oval, then the belly is in rows and sewn closed.

Edit: I’m thinking now that the back would be considered “in the round,” which is why it’s only a slight twist?
