8 Understanding the Colour Changes in Hand-Dyed Yarns What s it going to knit up like? they ask nervously. What will it look like? Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 8

11 Gently Variegated yarns Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 11

12 Wildly Variegated yarns Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 12

13 When the yarn has wild colour changes, go for simpler stitchwork. Conversely, when the colour changes are gentler, the yarn can handle more complicated pattern work. Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 13

21 How I Choose the Right Knitting Pattern for My Hand-Dyed Yarn When I see a skein of yarn, I see more than just the yarn itself. Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 21

22 Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 22

23 When you re knitting hand-dyed yarns, each skein is a unique adventure. Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 23

24 Crocheting with Hand-dyed Yarn To increase the chances that your project will meet your expectations, it helps to understand the yarn's color characteristics as well as the anatomy of the crochet stitches you plan to use. Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 24

25 Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 25

26 Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 26

27 Double and treble crochet stitches are taller (and therefore require more yarn per stitch), so the color change happens more quickly. For example, while the light pink extends eight or nine stitches in single crochet, it only lasts for about three or four stitches in double crochet, and just over two stitches in treble: Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 27

28 Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 28

29 Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 29

30 It's worth taking a little time up front to get to know your variegated yarn and your stitch patterns. Launching into Hand-Dyed - Page 30
