home-made variegated yarn
I've just found a way to change the colour of synthetic yarn :crocheting it with sewing thread thus creating my own variegated yarn. In order for the second clour to show properly, the colour must be dark or the thread thick enough. I "invented" that while crocheting a snow-white acrylic yarn... What was I thinking when I bought it? After one whole week spent crocheting it, I couldn't stand the colour anymore! So, as I couldn't dye it, I thought I could give a try to the painted doilies method... It worked! Possibilities are endless! But you must watch out for this thread, it gets tangled easily. I feel like I'm gonna have a lot of fun !

So I've been crocheting the pink sewing thread together with the white acrylic for a few days now... and it's oh! so boring! I just keep trying to prevent the two from tangling and it's no fun at all. sewing thread is not the best option i think :(

Do you have a winder? I wonder if they could be wound together before crocheting? hmm I might have to try this lol
Hello Michele,
I don't have a winder, I didn't think of winding before crocheting, in fact I like the fact that the two yarns are separated, because this way I can go back to a solid color whenever i feel like it :)
