Advantages of using a Self-Patterning Knitting yarn

This warm, crocheted rug was made with a fabulous Melon Ripple Afghan pattern by Darla Fanton for Caron Yarns using Moda Vera Bouvardia in the 'Embers' colourway.  The yarn is an Acrylic/Wool blend giving a balance of durability and softness.
By using a self-patterning, variegated yarn the rug takes on an interesting shift between hues and colours, enhancing the overall lovely pattern.  
There is no need to alternate colours so there are less joins and less sewing off ends at the completion of the project.
​A gift made lovingly for my Mum who has used the rug many times during this year's chilly Melbourne winter.

    My passion is with knitting yarn ... more like an addiction really. Any knitters in the audience will be nodding their heads and thinking about the cupboards in their home, bursting with all sorts of wonderful textures and colours, yes I'm one of those. I decided rather than fight my addiction I could continue with my indulgence of purchasing yarn, but then pass it on to other like-minded, online buyers.
