So you have found the most gorgeous variegated skein of hand-dyed yarn but you are unsure what project you can use it in, well here are some ideas 🌈🧶
Why not use multiple mini skeins in a big project, like a shawl or wrap, highlighting each colourway. 🌈🧶
Why not use your yarn in a solid colour garment to add a pop to the yoke, rib or cuffs to add a contrast and interest to your project 🌈🧶
If you are like us and love variegated yarn you can use it for your whole project, more is more in our world 😂🌈🧶
There are lots of small projects that take no more than one 100g skein of yarn such as Sophie Scarf by PetiteKnit // Mette 🌈🧶
Scoop up your mini skeins or odds and ends from your bigger projects and use them to make squares for a gorgeous blanket. Amazing!! 🌈🧶
Many shawl patterns pair semi-solid colourways and variegated colourways together in their patterns to add contrast and interest. 🌈🧶
Variegated yarn is perfect for socks, one 100g skein can be used for a pair of socks or used those odds and ends or mini skeins for multiple coloured socks. Endless possibilities 🧶🌈
If you have one skein of variegated yarn, these books are great for those one skein projects:
