This commercial yarn is engineered with specifically measured lengths of different colors along a single strand. As the crafter works through a project, the color shifts naturally produce distinct stripes without the need to manually join new skeins or weave in multiple loose ends. The width of the resulting stripes depends entirely on the gauge and the circumference of the knitted item.
Heard on the job
I bought a skein of self-striping sock yarn so I don't have to deal with colorwork on these ankle socks.
