Choosing Yarn

Hello,
Can anyone help me choose the right yarn? I use Anchor Frecchia yarn in size 12, and I’d like to find a comparable yarn from another company, since Anchor’s color palette isn’t extensive enough for me.
Thank you very much

Hi Joana,

there’s also Manuela crochet yarn with a similar yardage (though in fewer colors), and Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat might also work. And Scheepjes really does have a lot of colors :-)

Best regards, Marion

Hi Joana, I took a look at the color palette for your yarn. It has over 60 colors. I’m not even sure if there are any yarns out there that come in even more colors.
Best regards, Petra

Oh, I meant to say thank you so much, Marion—that was a great tip!

Petra: Actually, the color palette is missing exactly the colors I need!

Thanks for your replies

@Petra: That’s probably the same for me with Catania. I really miss that beautiful lime green they used to have :-) That’s exactly the color that makes me have to switch to other brands *sniff*

@ Marion: That’s always a problem. You have the same color for a long, long time. And then, BAM—the next time you order, it’s simply a different shade. I’ve had that happen too. When I unpacked the delivery, I suddenly had a completely different color; it felt a bit like walking out of the hairdresser totally unhappy. Terrible, just terrible.
