Variegated yarn – Precision Fasteners – Injection Moldings
Self striping variegated yarn
Variegated yarn is yarn that changes colors as it moves along the skein. A skein of variegated yarn has at least two colors or two shades of one color, and as knitting is performed with the yarn, the colors will change from stitch to stitch (or every several stitches). The frequency of color change during knitting is dependent upon the length of a section of the yarn and the needle size being used.
Knitting with variegated yarn can produce various effects. Sometimes, the fabric will appear to have a “streaky” look called “flashing” among knitters. Other yarns, with a long length between color changes, can appear to have horizontal panels of different colors, this is frequently referred to as self-striping. Those with more frequent color changes can have a more marbleized appearance. If mathematically calculated correctly, the outcome can be more blotchy known as pooling.
Names of yarn
Many yarn manufacturers give interesting names to their variegated yarns. For example, Berroco, in their Cotton Twist line, calls their variegated yarn with two shades of blue “denim” for its resemblance to blue jeans, and its olive-brown combo “camouflage.”
