Here's the TL;DR version: this yarn turns out to be the same as Yarn Bee Melody Bulky, which was formerly sold at Hobby Lobby but discontinued. Three years later, I bought two skeins and it was exactly the same color. One skein had no knots; one had two. The yarn frogs well and knits clearly and isn't splitty.Now for the story. I was contacted in April 2017 by a woman whose daughter had died in 2014 with a project still on the needles, a hat, and asked to finish the hat. I was assured there was a pattern. I agreed to do this. Ready?1) I couldn’t figure out the hat because it was knit flat and had things on stitch holders.2) The pattern was for earflaps, and nothing else.3) Very quickly I realized this wasn’t a hat, but a baby sweater.4) There was six inches of yarn left over.So. Ravelry came to the rescue. We found and identified the yarn. I found that it was discontinued but this product, BambooMN Chunky Melody, was very similar yarn with all different color names but looked just like it. I bought it, and it turns out to be exactly the same yarn.I finished it off, and despite there being a difference of three years and two manufacturers, the yarn was identical. I finished off the sweater, and the mother now has her daughter's final project, completed. (Plus I had a little extra for fingerless gloves.)
