I think they fall into two categories: short and choppy color spots and softer longer transitions.<BR/><BR/>I don't mind the short choppy color ones for socks, I think they work well since they are smaller projects.<BR/><BR/>But for bigger pieces, like scarves and sweaters, I prefer the variegated ones with longer sections of color repeats. It doesn't seem as harsh and blends nicer.<BR/><BR/>I also think variegated yarns eat stitch definition big time. So that's kind of a bummer about them too.<BR/><BR/>Kudos to you for finishing this up even though it wasn't your favorite!Fibra Artystahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15121605078535663853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443300355315157565.post-25946367626081493722008-08-13T07:28:00.000-07:002008-08-13T07:28:00.000-07:00It does look good though.

I too love variegated yarns but have stopped buying them (except for sock yarn and the odd ball for cowls/hats) for the same reasons you stopped buying. You did the best you could with a faulty design.

It seem a shame that you worked so hard on it and you aren't going to wear it. I hope you find someone for it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
