hi, everyone, if u want to get cheap yarns, Spotlight in ampang have their sales on many tyoes of yarn. Different time different offer on different types of yarn. There is one coming up in october next week, I think is on a wednesday some baby yarn only rm4. I will be there to check it out.

i went to spotlight when it is newly open. I checked the yarns there, they dont have 100% cotton 4 ply yarn. i bought some of their Moda Vera's Gelato yarn, 50% cotton + 50% acrylic yarn, at RM4.50 only per ball and it is about 134 meter per ball. I dont really like the yarn due to the below reasons:
1. yarn is too thick for a 4 ply yarn
2. acrylic yarn is not as soft as 100% cotton yarn
3. hotter then 100% cotton yarn
I normally knit blouse, thats why i more concern about the thickness, and softness of the yarn.

but no doubt, spotlight is a good place for you to play with variety of yarns at a cheaper price. :-) happy knitting.

there is another website we can try out.
http://www.woolwarehouse.co.uk

they have this patons safran which deramores.com dont supply. this is 100% 4 ply cotton yarn too.

i never buy from this website yet, but soon.
one thing to note, the postage charged by woolwarehouse is a little more expensive than deramores.

Hi everyone.

I am new to this forum and would like to ask a question. Have anyone experience knitting a big yarn ball with lots of break in the yarn. I bought a big ball of acrylic yarn to make a baby blanket. Started from the centre of the ball of yarn and there was quite a number of break at the beginning. So Sad and not sure to go complain or not.

I am currently doing this. Tutorial is all good but I keep screw up! Started with 6 stitches and in the middle will suddenly end up more.

Tried 12, suddenly will become +1 or -1.

Best tutorial so far I find

[EDIT]

Turns out worse than expected

To make things better:
- get biggest wool
- make sure the gap in stiches are not too loose or too tight. Around 2 finger gap will fit nicely.

Practise more will bring good result. Keep it up!

I finished it at last but the quality wasn't what I expected. I will learn crochet or other ways instead of arm knitting now. Arm knitting takes more skills

but knitting give you bigger satisfaction. well, depends on what you wan to do also. you can start with crocheting small items, like wash cloth, coaster. you will get fun from it.

if you want to do clothing, there are lot knitting patterns online or from book. but you will need to have patience and good knitting skills.

good luck in your trying !

Hello there,
I've just started knitting and this is my 1st project...

Hello, everyone. I'd just like to know... Where do you guys get your yarns from? Physical stores? Online? It's pretty tough to find a store in Ipoh that sells yarns. Is there anywhere else that sells yarns, especially the local brands e.g. Nona in Ipoh? (Except for Daiso since the one in Aeon Station 18 does not have the color I wanted )

What type of yarns are you buying? Cotton yarn? I find buying online from UK is lot cheaper than buying locally, especially during sales time like 30 percent off once or twice a year. You can check out at www.deramores.com. you can even get aluminium circular needles at less than rm20.

I normally get acrylic yarns since most of the stuff I work on are amigurumis. Last time I got mine from spotlight, but there isn't a store in Ipoh and wasn't too keen on buying online for now cause of the shipping and I don't need a big bunch. ><

can buy yarn from spotlight online. but i didnt check delivery fee and locations. you can check it out.

May I know if Daiso sell the crochet hook?
