it's a black & red gradient yarn that gets wispy at the ends when you cut it.

Finished Object how would I soften this? (100% acrylic)

everywhere there is purple there is spaghetti on the other side lol. I would just wash and dry it, but I’ve had bras and graphic t-shirts get chewed up by the dryer and I will actually cry if this gets the same treatment (started it last October and the ADHD is rampant so this is a huge achievement). it’s also really important that I soften it as I have sensory issues and won’t be able to use it for any amount of time because It Feels Bad. I am planning to make the reverse side and stitch it on to cover up the loose ends, but I’d love to be able to use the first half while knitting the second. TIA :)

I found this random scrap ball in the depths of my yarn stash bins. It's so cool but I simply can't think of a use for it, even straining my brain to any sort of children's craft projects or items. Have any of you even seen this before? What can it be used for?

PS - If anyone wants it, I'm open to mailing it to a good home!

I'm still having a blast with all the potential these books offer for colorway ideas! My favorites of this drop are Wondercrawl and Best in Dungeon. What are yours?

Does anyone sell spinning wheels and stock replacement parts?

Cracked footman on my Ashford Traveller and I need a new drive band too. The shop I originally bought from doesn't carry Ashford parts anymore and ordering directly means weeks of waiting. I just want a shop that sells spinning wheels and also keeps spinning wheel parts on the shelf. Something I can order and have show up in a few days. Do places like that exist or is it manufacturer direct every time something wears out?

I made the mistake of washing a bunch of my acrylic yarn all at once and the delicates bags did NOT prevent disaster from striking

I have so much untangling and winding to do 🥲

This has been in my stash for way too long and I would love to make something but I don’t have any ideas….. I tossed some on needles to see what it’s like. I don’t I want a scarf and hat out of this. It’s not the most washable yarn. I’m a beginner-ish. Im picking this up again now my babies are growing up and I can have a bit of time for a hobby. I haven’t knitted in over 8 years.
I have 6 balls 54 yards per ball.
I would love some ideas / recommendations on what to do.
I would love recommendations for an easy pattern too

Question What yarn is this?

What I know of it: I got it from Walmart, it’s fingering weight, it’s multi color and sparkly. I think it’s acrylic but I will say, it doesn’t feel scratchy or overly fuzzy like what you’d expect Walmart acrylic yarn to feel like so I’m not too sure. I think it’s Lionbrand, but again, im not too sure. I want to find what kind of yarn it is so I can buy more colours
