Yarn Notes

When I purchased this yarn at the above link, it wasn’t what I expected. I had already used this yarn in the Malibu
Fling Wrap HERE and I was expecting the same self-striping. As it turns out, it was a variegated instead of self-
striping and I really love the way it looks in this project, even more than if it had been self-striping!

I wrote to the yarn manufacturer because, if you are doing this project in the recommended yarn, I didn’t want you to
be disappointed. Here is the response so you will know which are variegated and which are self-striping:

Thank you for your inquiry! Most of the line has long color changes. However, the newest colors, 7624/Carnival,
7616/Breeze, 7642/Jazz, 7625/Santa Fe, and 7654/Lagoon, all have the short color changes you are now
encountering. That was indeed on purpose and will remain consistent.
