Swatch Notes:

  • For this swatch, I did 1 full sequences (19 stitches per sequence)
  • 100% Acrylic
  • This is a great example of a variegated yarn that, though beautiful, does not work well with planned pooling. The color sequences are long, but more problematic, are the short color changes. This yarn only allows for 1 stitch per color. Though it is possible to make a pattern, it is very pixelated and hard to make out. Also, because each color is only one stitch, it was impossible to add an offset stitch. Instead, I had to play with the tension at the ends of rows or even "fudge" stitches to make it work.
