Ombre, variegated and painted yarns are fun to mix and match with solids for an exciting bath or kitchen ensemble. Check out the yarns at  Peaches & Creme™ for a large variety to mix and match.
Unraveling the Mystery of Variegated Yarns
Part 1


Knitting Variegated Yarns

Textural Stripes are featured in this issue:
Chevron, ripple, zig zag or patterned stripes like eyelet or purl combinations can be accented with solids to create an interesting effect. Basic textures are more interesting in variegated yarns. Simple purl- knit combination textures have more depth with the yarn colors flowing through the stitches.

The Feather & Fan is a lace stitch but it is also a textural stripe that is accented well in variegated yarns. More lace to come in future articles.

Mix solids and variegated in stripes to create more tactile interest like in the simple eyelet row pattern.
