Home-made variegated yarn  

Home-made variegated yarn

I've just found a way to change the colour of synthetic yarn :crocheting it with sewing thread thus creating my own variegated yarn. In order for the second clour to show properly, the colour must be dark or the thread thick enough. I "invented" that while crocheting a snow-white acrylic yarn... What was I thinking when I bought it? After one whole week spent crocheting it, I couldn't stand the colour anymore! So, as I couldn't dye it, I thought I could give a try to the painted doilies method...

Follow up:

It worked! Possibilities are endless! But you must watch out for this thread, it gets tangled easily. I feel like I'm gonna have a lot of fun !

So I've been crocheting the pink sewing thread together with the white acrylic for a few days now... and it's oh! so boring! I just keep trying to prevent the two from tangling and it's no fun at all. sewing thread is not the best option i think :(

  • Crocheted!

  • Is it knitted? Nope! Crocheted! Crochet isn't just for grannies, doilies and floppy funky scarves. I am - fairly - under 50, I have a crochet hook and a yarn ball handy in my purse and I like decorating my shoulders better than my sofa.
