Thank you! :D
-
Out of curiousity, is the yarn Red Heart "Gemstone"? The colours really remind me of that one particular colour :)
-
I believe it is. I long ago lost the label for it; most of the junk acrylic yarn I have is from my mom's stash or various bargain bins at local yarn stores.
-
It photographed weird and the teal/green looks more like turquoise in these pictures.
-
Yup, it sounds like Gemstone :)

I absolutely LOVE that colour =D I can't find it anywhere locally, so I always have to get it through Ebay. It's a shame it doesn't come in larger skeins though >.>
-
I just wish Red Heart wasn't so scratchy... :(
-
It depends on the lot, actually. I've noticed this with black, especially. Sometimes, I'll get a large skein of it, and it's rough and scratchy and thick - thicker than what it should be, it seems =P Other times, I'll get the same size of skein, but the yarn will be so soft to the touch, like the complete polar opposite of what I had before O.o It's...kinda odd.
However, out of all the skeins I've got of Gemstone, it always seems to be really soft, but I find that the drawback for it, is that sometimes the yarn goes from a nice round circumfirence, to a flatten strip, almost like it's ribbon rather than yarn =P
Heh, if it's not one thing, it's another XD

That's partly why I prefer working with natural yarns :\ If there are inconsistencies, it's usually planned, or at least acknowledged. For amigurumi acrylic yarn is still the best, I suppose, for the price. Hmm.
-
Yeah, I don't get the chance to work with natural yarns that much. 100% cotton is nice to work with sometimes, but I haven't come across a nice, soft one yet. And wool...I can't afford that XD Usually it's just acrylic for me, cuz that's what I can afford for my amigurumi. It's also good for naalbinding too :)
-
I've never tried nalbinding... sounds interesting.
Nice yarns are something of a luxury for me... if I get some extra money, there's a skein of mohair here, a ball of alpaca there. I prefer the feel of animal fibers over most acrylic, though Loops and Threads Impeccable is an acrylic with a nice feel to it.-
Naalbinding's fun :) I pretty much taught myself from watching YouTube videos, and I've made a few hats, and finally figured out how to make mittens :)
It's hard to find a more variety of yarns locally here, you pretty much have a choice between Red Heart, Bernat, Caron, and Lion Brand...and even with those brands, they don't seem to carry a lot of colours or styles. I do have one ball of wool (I can't remember if it's sheep or alpaca), my mom treated me to it once, when we were checking out the farmer's market. Made a cute little amigurumi star for her...in which when she got home, her dog claimed it as her own XD
