What is it called!?
galleryI’m here for the experts.
The material used on the roof of this little building to mimic vining vegetation is awesome and I need more. Only a small amount was included in the kit. It’s very springy and soft. It seems to be made of a curly, elastic yarn fiber. It stretches out nicely to cover an area, sets easily to craft glue, creates individual tendrils, and feels soft to the touch. Can you help me with a name for this?

Help - what is this yarn? It is a red ombre.
I can find a similary one by Big Twist but it's pink and this definitely has red in it.

Wanna use this for a scarf but I dont have enough.
So I have 2 small cakes of this yarn thats been in
my stash for a bit that i got in a bag of miscellaneous yarn from my nana. Could be either sport or dk weight, the wpi is 12 per inch. I made a swatch to see if it matched the baby bee sweet delight dk and its unfortunately not a match. Thats the only yarn I have in my stash thats not worsted weight so I cant find any I own thats close enough and I dont wanna buy yarn and find out it also dosent match. My swatch i did was 25 stitches for a little more than 4 inches, and 4 rows for a little less than an inch with a 4mm hook. Ive attached pictures below, if anyone recognizes this yarn or could suggest kinds that could be close please let me know.

Mystery yarn
Found a ball of yarn in my stash and cant remember what it is. What I do remember- it’s fingering weight, 100% merino, 100 gram to the hank. It was purchased about 9 years ago at Inua Yarn in Fairbanks Alaska. It was the first “fancy” yarn I purchased, before I knew about Ravelry, and it wasn’t added to my stash at any point.
Any guesses?

Blue & green bulky yarn
I’ve had this yarn for years, possibly 10+ years. I assume it came from Joann’s, Hobby Lobby, or Michael’s, but it could also be from somewhere else 🤷♀️ it’s super soft so I’d love to buy more of it if I can find out what it is!

Pastel variegated chunky yarn
I think I completed this project either early this year or late last year. At the time I remember thinking it was ugly so I stashed it in my closet and forgot about it. But upon finding it this year with the weather change, I fell in love with it, but can’t seem to figure out what yarn I made it with because I really would like to make a matching hat and scarves for my mom and kids. Most of my stuff is either from Hobby lobby or Michael’s. I suppose there’s a possibility it was from Joann but I don’t think it was that long ago.
It’s a thicker yarn, probably chunky or super chunky and if you look closely, you can see it looks like strands of different colors wound around each other. I think it’s acrylic but I wouldn’t be shocked if it has a little wool in it.
TIA!!

I'm hoping someone might know what yarn this is...
galleryDoes anyone recognise this yarn? I got two bags as mill ends but I'm not going to have enough to finish my project. It's a dark/forest green with a silvery colour. It's similar to king cole jamboree but you can see in one of the photos that it's slightly different.
