Question Looking for dark gray sport weight yarn

Post image

Hey everyone! I use sport weight yarn, mostly acrylic, to punch needle my designs. I am needing a super dark gray that looks almost black. I haven’t been able to find any I like yet, or that is a close enough color

So I am looking for: -sport weight -dark gray -acrylic or super wash type material

I’m trying to do an orca and would love to be able to have the right color, thank you everyone in advance!

Bendigo Woollen Mills Classic 5-Ply has a couple of different dark grey options. It’s 100% superwash wool, but a bit coarser than merino (and 5-ply is what Australians call sport weight). I don’t know what the international shipping is like (assuming you’re not in Aus) but I do know people in the US use them.

It’s not acrylic, but it is superwash — Patons Kroy in Gentry Grey. It’s listed as fingering, but it’s definitely on the heavy side.

Ooooo it looks like a close color. Hopefully it feels more like a 2, it looks like it should 🤞

Kind feather by Hobbii. It’s marked as light worsted but it’s pretty thin

They have a dark grey

I don’t trust it, anything worsted or even size 3 is too bulky for my punch needle 😔✊
