Working single strand on a crocheted sweater pattern.

First picture: not blended. Didn’t realize until I took it to a different room with cleaner lighting that the bottom portion pulls blue and the top pulls pink.

Frogged 18 inches of single crochet. Yeah, I hurt my own feelings.

Second pic: alternating two rows of ball one and two rows of ball two while carrying the yarn up on the turns.

Just take the sage wisdom of fiber crafters who came before and blend your hand-dyed yarn. Save yourself the choice of the mis-match or the frog.

Has anyone used dog hair to spin into yarn and then knit a scarf with it? A friend has been collecting hair from their dog, plans to have it spun into yarn, and asked me to knit a scarf with it as a surprise for his partner. I plan to combine the dog hair yarn with another worsted yarn, but I don’t know how it will work.

Knitting a scarf for a guy with a beard/stubble. Or at least I intend to untill he annoys me enough to dump this idea 🤦‍♀️

I need a yarn that's warm for cold climate, doesn't pill (like at all) from stubble rubbing against it, and isn't itchy. I'd like to go into a natural blend, or with as little plastic as possible.
What has held up best for you?
Any brands or blends to try or avoid?
