Soooo....I have a really cool idea for a dragon, but unfortunately the yarn I want to use is discontinued and also doesn't really exist beyond the now discontinued brand.
>.>
I can still get 2 of the 4 colors, but it's kinda pricy.

(Basically I found a yarn that changes colors in sunlight that I thought would make a fun dragon or at least bellies on dragons since the "indoor" color is white on all of them.)

Update: may have just spent the last hour hunting down the elusive discontinued yarn in all colors and spent way too much money on yarn... >.>

Honestly that yarn sounds like the coolest yarn I have ever heard of??? Why would they discontinue such a cool thing???

Could you send me a link to that yarn? I have no use for it but I just reallly wanna check out how this yarn looks.

I imagine it was probably discontinued because it didn't sell well (it was kinda pricy for a smaller than expected amount and is kind of a novelty item). Idk though. Or maybe it was too hard to get the stuff needed to make it. Either way, it's getting tough to track down and if I had more money, I'd buy it all!
XD
This is probably the link with the best pics of the yarn: https://www.etsy.com/listing/6702846...n-100-yards-uv

Oh wow! That is some neat yarn! Thanks for sharing this with me, never woulda guessed such a thing existed.

(Hello Derpy!)

(I remember randomly finding it several years ago and thinking it was pretty cool, but I definitely couldn't afford it back then and then yesterday, it just popped into my head again, so I had to see if it still existed. I also found a rayon/plant fiber "yarn" that has the sunlight/uv color shift, but unfortunately it's not a great option for knitting.)

"Teehee, hi!" Derpy waddles over and clings to your ankle.

(Badass that you found it!)

*Shakes leg then sighs.* How are you Derpy?

"Whee!" Derpy giggles as you shake your leg, then hops off and plops down on the floor next to you. "I'm good!"

Derpy wants glow in the dark friends

I saw a glow in the dark lion brand yarn

Lol. I've seen glow in the dark pop up a few times. Not a lot with great reviews though.
Based on a lot of the reviews of the lion brand one, I'm hesitant as it's expensive or not a lot of thin yarn that I'd have to at least double up to make anything.
Tbh, will probably look into actually buying hlow yarns later in the year. (Glow in the dark bat friend for Halloween?)

Also, got package 1 of 2 of my solar color change yarns. Attempted to test the color shifting, but the sunlight in my apartment wasn't ideal and I didn't want to go outside, but will try again tomorrow. The very slight color change I did manage to get today was disappointing and makes me worried that I may have wasted a lot of money on what might ultimately be slightly tinted yarns... >.>

Some of my magic yarns have arrived!!!!

(Got 3 purple, 2 yellow, and ordered 3 blue, but they only had 1 left after my order so they threw it in as a bonus. And have 3 pink and 1 yellow from another shop that I'm still waiting on.)

Oh interesting!

It is officially my favorite yarn in the world now. I just wish I had been able to get it back before it got discontinued. XP

Buy up all the remains of the yarn!! I got logged out and couldn't be bothered to log back in.

For my moms birthday I made her origami elephants, anyone else like origami?

Idk if I'd get any more of the yellow as it's color shift is pretty subtle, but if I could afford to, I'd love to track down all the rest of the other 3 colors out there. I can find a gew more of the pink on Etsy, but the purple and blue are much harder to come by, though I haven't checked all the local yarn shops linked on Ravelry yet.
Mainly because I've spent almost $170 on these yarns and really can't afford to buy any more right now.

$170?! Wow that yarn adds up!! I didn't expect it to be that costly, though I'm not sure what I expected from yarn.

$13 per skein x12 skeins + shipping

Also in response to your earlier question, I like origami! I just never actually do it enough to get good.
