Hiiii everyone! :D
~ firstly, sorry this post is a bit crazy ~
I have a question for my fellow Aussie crocheters:
Where do you buy blanket yarn?
I want to crochet a jellycat bunny for my friend for her birthday, and I think that blanket yarn would probably be the best! (But if you have any other suggestions, please let me know! I want it to turn out a good size tho :)
I normally get it from my local cheap store, but
Theyāre out of white yarn in the only brand of blanket yarn there, and
the same brand doesnāt have any good light pinks!
My friend was deciding between a white or a pink one, and I think she ended up going with pink, but the only light pink there was like, neon! (I was just going to make a white one if I couldnāt find a nice pink, but they donāt even have that atm soooā¦ yeah thatās why Iām here )
Sorry for all the yap, but any help is greatly appreciated!
Tysm! <33
Oh and this is the pattern I plan on using if you were curious! XD
Yes thatās the one I normally get too! Where do you get yours from?
Omg literally tho itās so annoying
And yeah I should look in spotlight, I didnāt get time to today! The only downside is itās really expensive
I just looked at the Moda Vera yarn you linked, and I was like āoh my gosh itās PERFECT!ā And thenā¦ I looked at the price $18?!? Like DANG! I might have to get that tho if it comes to it, because it does have a really nice pink!
Also I need to have a look in cheap as chips as well, because I also didnāt get to today!
And nooo dw this was actually really helpful tysm! <33
i get mine from like cheap storesā
IKR?!?!?!? I always go on salesā they are like 300g, so maybe $18 is worth it?
from cheap as chips i only get mali velvet cause thats like the ONLY velvet i can get without going brokeā
glad i could help!
Spotlight yarn for sure!!! I use the brand āBella babyā baby blanket yarn, but thereās also Yarra and I think a heap of others, you can get really big balls for like 18 but they do sales a lot! I recommend signing up to spotlight as a member so ya know about their sales!!! Overall itās not bad quality, I recommend going in store rather than online cos they always have more in store in my experience, hope this helps!!!
Oooh ohmygosh thank you so much! I think my nan might be a member alreadyā¦
I think by the sounds of it I need to take a trip to spotlight! This was very helpful, tysm again! <33
I def always use spotlight and cheap shops!!
For spotlight, in queensland, there are things called mill ends,
so i get them for reallllyyyy cheap, like around 5 balls of yarn (depending on what type) for around 12 bucks!!
Edit: They are like in bags that are discontinued or smt
I sometimes get my yarn online, but thatās CRAZY expensive. If itās not at your local cheap shop, try the mill ends at Spotlight. My sister got 4 massive balls of dark grey blanket yarn for only like, 5 bucks.
Yeah Amazon is in Aussie. Walmart isnāt, so when I went to Canada and brought back a Walmart bag to show people at school, they were all like āWoah! A Walmart bag! Whereād ya get that?ā The answer, of course, was always āWalmart. Duhā
