When your ride-or-die yarn gets discontinued, it can feel like a personal attack (and honestly… sometimes it kind of is). In this video, I’m diving deep into yarn substitution—what to do when you can’t find your favorite anymore, when it’s suddenly “hard to find,” or when you lose a dramatic round of yarn chicken and still have half a sleeve to go. I compare yarns side-by-side so we can look at what actually matters: fiber feel, thickness, twist, and how close the “replacement” really is. I also talk through how I approach finding a dupe without rage-buying random skeins at 2 a.m. I’m looking at whether it’s truly the same yarn in a different outfit, or if there are sneaky differences that will change your fabric (and your vibe). If you’ve ever stared at a discontinued label like it betrayed you, this one’s for you—grab your WIP, and let’s figure out smart swaps that still keep your project cozy and cute.
