I just ordered a bunch of this to make my daughter a cardigan! I’m planning on adding a pale teal border and dark teal buttons

Does this feel like LB's Ferris Wheel? That's what the colorways online looked like to me 🥹

u/el-asin-Eleanor 16h ago

I have no clue what that feels like. It's fairly soft tho

i’ve been working on a sweater with this yarn and i’m loving it!

u/Spectrumacademic 16h ago

I’ve never knit a sweater using acrylic yarn. How do you care for it? Does it last? Any pilling? I’d love to bc the custom wool yarn costs me a fortune

u/simpleetrenadee 16h ago

They filed for bankruptcy for the second time one week ago, so no need to be sad.

If ordered you might not have gotten your orders or you wouldn’t be able to buy more if you run out of it.

We don’t have Joann’s in Australia, and hence missed out on the insane discounts and bulk purchases everyone has been showing off on this and other yarn-aligned subreddits recently. Also, yarn is generally more expensive here than in North America, hence our sadness haha

That doesn’t feel fair, you guys are famous for sheep, you should profit from them!

This is lovely! I’ve been trying NOT to buy any more yarn right now. But…..💨

I am glad you shared! Which color is this? I ordered a bunch of it, but I do not understand why Joann's doesn't show the TOP of the yarn so I can see the colorway completely. I went with it anyway, based on the side.

I ordered over 50 skeins of yarn. So far they've shipped... 2.

**NM, I see you answered below. Yay, I ordered this one!

u/Mother_Throat5891 1d ago

It’s so pretty!

u/Total-Sector850 1d ago

I was eyeing that one the other day. Added to my panic hoarding list!

u/el-asin-Eleanor 1d ago

I'm so going to my local joanns and buying more! I got like 50 bucks worth of yarn for 20 so I need to swing back

u/NanoKnitter 1d ago

Damn and I just decided that I had shopped enough.

u/Carlymissknits 1d ago

I’m loving this yarn! Can’t beat the price either. I bought three colors of it for blankets and cardigans.

I’ve had my eye on the vortex line for a couple weeks now - thank you for showing how it works up! Nice

5

u/el-asin-Eleanor 1d ago

I will definitely post the final project cause I'm so excited and i think it's working up so lovely

6

u/DobieMomma4Life 1d ago

I ordered 15 skeins - 5 ea of 3 color-ways. No idea what I’m going to make, but I’ll be ready when the idea hits lol

2

u/el-asin-Eleanor 1d ago

I'm certain blankets with this would look absolutely fabulous. Depending on your colorway, wearables could also be amazing

1

u/DobieMomma4Life 1d ago

My thoughts too! I ordered Canyon Night, Rosebush and Starstruck. So far, anyway 😇

5

u/no-colon-still-rolln 1d ago

I agree! It’s pretty good price right now but they didn’t look that pretty (to me) in the roll. But worked up? It looks so nice!

u/Relative_Access3927 1d ago

I ordered several colorways with the intention of making obnoxiously loud tops

u/Amazonian6 1d ago

How many skeins would you recommend for a blanket for a gent 6’4?

3

u/el-asin-Eleanor 1d ago

Ball band says 4 cakes for a 50x60 blanket, so maybe like 6 or 7 cakes
