[Nfb-krafters-korner] Looking for self-striping yarn

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Annette,
Thanks I knew that do to making socks a long time ago.  
When I was just wondering when Barb sent the descriptions of the colors, I  
did not notice and wanted to be sure it was self striping yarn.
 
I have been looking for worstered weight self striping yarns or yarns that  
have patterns created when you knit in worstered weight.[like flowers &  
designs].  I had gotten some in the past [I Love That Yarn] from Hobie  
Lobbie, but they have been out of stock with lots of their yarn since last  year.

Joyce,

I'm not Barb, so I hope you do not mind my  responding.

Self-striping yarn has long runs of color that depending on  the number of
stitches you are working with will result in multiple rows of  that color.
So you end up with stripes in your finished project.   Variegated yarn uses
short segments of each color so you rarely get the  same color stacking up 
on
itself as you work the next few rows.   

Self-striping is popular in sock yarn.  But now other types of  yarn are
being made this way.

I hope this makes  sense.

Annette

Barb,

Is this self-striping yarn  or variegated yarn?
