Help!!! Not enough yarn

Hi everyone! Maybe someone here can help me out. I got some cotton yarn from Aldi (Vendita GmbH). It’s from the “Spring Yarn Collection,” and the color is a dark turquoise/petrol. Color number 210. It was packaged together with brown cotton yarn, and I mixed it with cotton yarn from the same company in turquoise (color 45). As luck would have it, I unfortunately don’t have enough, and of course Aldi doesn’t carry it anymore. Does anyone happen to have these colors—or at least one of them—and would be willing to sell some to me? It would be great if someone could help me out. The yarn is 115 m per 50 g, NS 3-4. Best regards, Nadeleule

Hi Nadeleule,

If you’re on Facebook, you could try asking in various groups there!

I hope you’re still able to find the yarn.

Best regards, Birgit

Yes, I’d ask in Facebook groups too—there’s a really good chance you’ll still find the yarn somewhere.
Good luck.
Best regards, Petra

Thank you both so much for your kind replies, but I’m not on Facebook (and I don’t want to be either).

Hello,
I compared them, and the cotton yarn from Aldi that I have here 
looks exactly like Cotton Fun by Gründl.
Two years ago, the cotton assortments at Aldi also still had
Gründl labels.

Maybe you’ll have some luck there with the colors you’re looking for...

Best regards
Petra

I can only confirm what Wollbaerchen said.
The cotton from Aldi is from Gründl Wolle—it’s been sold under the name Vendita for the past 1–2 years.

Best regards, Petra

Hi Nadeleule,

I have a few Aldi (Aldi-Süd) assortments here, but without a photo, it’s hard for me to say whether the yarn you’re looking for is among them. Maybe you could post a photo here, then I can compare.

Best regards, Nina

Hi Nina,

Color no. 210 is the one being looked for. It’s on the ball band.
Best regards, Birgit

Thank you so much for all your great help. I took some more photos of the labels and the jacket (unfortunately only a vest so far :( ). Maybe that will help... The dark one (color no. 210) was, as I mentioned before, in a pack with brown yarn (bought at the beginning of this year); the light one (color no. 45) was part of Aldi’s range a few years ago. I’ve also managed to find out that Vendita is by Gründl. Now I just need to find a shop that sells Gründl Cotton Fun so I can see whether the colors might be the same. It’s not easy, but it’s worth a try. Thanks for all your efforts, and enjoy the rest of Pentecost. Best regards, Nadeleule

Hi Nadeleule,

I have almost the same yarn. It’s from the same batch of cotton yarn, but I have colors 204 & 208 . I’d describe the colors as medium blue and light blue/light turquoise.

I’d be happy to take photos in daylight.

I have 5 packages of the yarn, each containing 10 x 50 g. All are unused and unopened.

You’re welcome to have them for free—I have way too much yarn anyway ;-)

Best regards, Anton2412
