I bought this yarn as a mill end last week. It appears to be a cotton string wrapped with a vinyl twist. Does anyone know what brand name this might be listed for?

the pic shows it crocheted.

I think you may be right on that.

Looks like a tarantula!! Might make some interesting bookmarks/doilies! Strange colouring - hmmm, have fun!

Looks like a hair bun scrunchie.

A little detective work needed here. First idea, ask the sellers where they got the yarn from (I assume you asked them what the yarn was already). You might have to make some phone calls here. Second, take your sample to a couple of LYS and see if anyone recognizes it. Third, try online like Ravelry--post a question. Or go to Ask.com and post a question. There are several sites like that.

Otherwise, use the burn method to try and id the fibers. That might help you narrow the search.

Could it be made for weaving and not knitting or crochet?

Love the colorwork in it; do you think it might be no slip sock yarn that works up tweedy?

Is this it? If so, I've seen it & wondered what to do w/it.

As I said - I bought the yarn as a mill end, at Zellers, in a bag so I didn't know about the vinyl until I got home.

I will keep it aside until I dream up something I can make with it. I have to learn to curb my curiosity.

No that is not it. Mine is a baby weight - 2 on a scale of 6. and the vinyl on mine is twisted into a strand with the cotton.

I wonder if it would work for scrubbies?

I could try one of those just to see. Will get back to you.

Don't know what the yarn is, but I like the color.

Bath or shower scrubby would be cool!

I Like my cotton for that and I don't think I would like this vinyl.

Nope... just not seeing it.

It's a really pretty yarn. Is it soft or is the plastic scratchy?

I see you from Canada, but it looks like it would make something good for a Steelers fan!! ( black and gold)
