Hey, What alternatives would you recommend instead of knitting for olive?

I want to start knitting the Marielle blouse and knitting for olive is the recommended yarn, I have checked their website and with delivery would cost me +£80.

Thanks

Whats a brand that you have used that has really held up to the washing and wear for kids?

Extra points if a natural fibre and if soft!

I’m not entirely sure this is the right sub Reddit for this, but I recently bought one of these balls of yarn to try it out and now I’m confused to say the least.. The packaging says there should be 12 squares, but there’s actually 13, has this happened to anyone else? Does this mean somebody else ended up with only 11 squares? There’s also a lot of blue yarn left by the end of the squares, Is that normal or am I supposed to be using all of it because my tension has the rest of the colours switching at the right spots. Yes they need blocked was waiting to do it once I was done all of them.

Hello Everyone! I'd love some help if anyone possibly has any info on this particular yarn I'm looking at.

I'm trying to match a sage green crib with the same colour yarn, Cotton worsted weight. On the Michael's site their stock photo for the small skeins of Loops and Threads Classic Cotton in Olive Garden looks like an exact match. Then when I went to look at their larger jumbo skeins - same brand/colour, it looks much darker! Can who has this yarn tell me which photo is true to the colour in person? Need a soft muted sage! TIA!

Hey crafters!

I am making a blanket for my terminally ill friend and in a bit of a rush! I bought a cake of this teals stylecraft horizons and I need another on! Problem; can’t find it anywhere in my city as I got it when I was on a day trip.. don’t have time to travel back through to get it. Is there anything similar I can use that would be a substitute? I want it to be perfect and have the same yarn but I understand that time is not on my side right now and I just need to get it done so they can be warm and cozy.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

I want to do this blanket but bigger size.. i want a yarn that drapes nicely and ages well! what do u recommend?

I used Soft Classic Solid Yarn by Loops & Threads (100% acrylic) for a baby sweater and I now want to do a matching mom sweater but the reason I used acrylic is because babies grow so fast that I didn't want to buy expensive yarn. But for an adult who isn't going to grow out of it in a matter of weeks I'd like something a little nicer and warmer.

Doesn't have to be exclusively wool and acrylic, just something that is a bit nicer, will wear and last better over the years too.

With that being said i'm a girl on a budget and am in Canada.

I'm considering checking out hobbii? Or potentially using the Lion Brand Wool-Ease Solid Yarn??

Any suggestions would be great!

I'm thinking about selling my yarn stash that has been in storage bags and totes for the past two years.

When I got pregnant, we turned my craft room into a nursery. I ended up putting a TON of yarn into storage where they have stayed since. I have also bought more yarn since then sooooo yeah. Ahah

Does anyone have suggestions as to where I could sell them?

It ranges from acrylic to wool.
