VIVACIOUS VARIEGATED COLLECTION

Use vareigated yarn in new and exciting ways with projects that make the most of dynamic colour changes

POINT TAKEN

Watercolour-esque pastels spread like sunsets across this pretty pointed scarf. Make this one over and over for gifts – the variegated yarn will cause it to work up differently every time.

LOOPY LAMB

Believe it or not, this lamb is made by cutting up a cake of yarn! The limbs, face and ears are made from the colourful sections, while the ecru is used for the loopy fleece.

COME IN WAVES 

Stripes of colour ripple through this gorgeous shell and wave-stitch cardigan. Make it now and have this feminine fancy ready in time for cooler weather.

CHOCK-A-BLOCK

Colours are arranged to create a mosaicesque effect in this stunning blanket project. Top off the corners with long tassels for a super-fun finish!

GET CARRIED AWAY

The stitches in this poncho naturally create diagonal stripes when hooked with variegated yarn. It’s an exciting effect that requires very little effort to make!
