Red Heart Roll with It Melange Yarn, Catwalk 3 Count

Crystal at Bag O Day on her YouTube channel had recently presented a stitch I had never seen before that she called “knotted half double” and I wanted to try it with this self-striping yarn. The colors showed mostly greens on line so I ordered just two cakes. When they arrived the colors were amazing! Not just greens, but every shade of green you could imagine interspersed with bright lime, deep purple, teal, bright blue. The stitch is a close one that makes very tiny eyelets and textured rows that look like furrows in a field. The yarn is easy to work with, does not split despite being over-wrapped with various colors in order to get all those wonderful shades. Yes, I had to do a little color control when I found too much lime or purple was weighing down too heavily in a couple of areas. The yarn is soft, a medium 4 weight with a recommended hook size of 5.5mm/I-9. I found that too loose for the stitch I was using and went with a size 7/4.5mm hook. As the yarn is over-wrapped, there are some thicker and thinner sections but they do not adversely affect the overall stitching. The stitch I used is a bit of a “yarn eater” so I ordered an additional bag of 3 cakes from Amazon to finish my blanket. It is very colorful and looks great on my family room sage green sofa and is perfect for a rainy day read.

Lovely yarn. The variegated colours are beautiful. Just start making granny squares for a sweater and so far I really love the look.

The yarn is soft and the colors are beautiful, I haven’t started the project yet but look forward to a great result. When I first saw the color it was out of stock, but I know why as it is so nice. And the price seemed reasonable for the 3 skeins.

I really love this color and if it weren't because it had such a long backorder I would have exchanged it. It seems they did not do a great job at spindling the fibers as you may notice some fuzzy areas on the thread. Not sure if this color will be discontinued or what but it's challenging to get a hold of. I was afraid of having my orders cancelled and not being able to finish my project so I'll just have to make do.

Beautiful yarn and yhe texture is so different!!
