So, I guess I need to pay more attention to what I buy, because you know that gorgeous, variegated yarn that I got last week?
Well, I managed to get it all wound up this weekend, and I got a surprise!
Turns out, it’s self-striping and it looks totally different than I was expecting! I had no idea when I brought it home. It’s hard to tell from just looking at it all wound up, but I think it’s going to have some cool super-long repeats. (Yes, I could have just looked at the website and I would have seen that it was self-striping… But I just didn’t.)
I’m so excited to get knitting on these socks! they’re going to be so pretty!
Have you ever been surprised with your yarn purchases?

That yarn is so pretty! I’ve been surprised when knitting up variegated yarn that it didn’t look how I imagined so I think I prefer self striping.
I love that yarn even more now that you’ve wound it!
Thanks for the watch-out. I never would have guessed it was self striping. Glad you are still happy with your purchase.
Gorgeous! It’s always a nice surprise when I wind skeins into cakes. I looks so much different 🙂
