I don’t know about you but I’ve always been intimidated by self striping sock yarn. It seemed like yet another item that excluded crocheters, but that’s not the case.
WeCrochet graciously let me create with the re-release of some of their colors.
There are a few benefits to working with self striping yarn
Easy color changes without the ends!
Match any of your favorite colorways with a neutral yarn and let the yarn do the work for you.
Planned pooling
So this was all the rage in 2018 and frankly, I never got it to work. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t. There are tons of resources for color pooling out there.Unique finished object
As crafters we often try to manipulate the yarn to our will but sometimes it’s nice to just let it live it’s best life. I took this approach when creating with Felici.
This Felici yarn by KnitPicks/WeCrochet has made a believer out of me!
It also comes in a worsted weight if you are looking for an even speedier project.
