Last week brought a colorful box of yarn our way – hello again, Crazy Zauberball!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Schoppel-Wolle Crazy Zauberball is a fingering weight yarn that slowly changes from one color to the next several yards at a time, so that whatever you\u2019re knitting or crocheting with it comes out striped. The 2-ply construction of this yarn gives\u00a0the finished fabric a marled look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Over the years, we’ve seen Crazy Zauberball put to good use in all kinds of projects, from socks<\/a> to shawls<\/a> to cowls<\/a>. Christy Kamm’s “ZickZack Scarf”<\/a>\u00a0(Winnie’s version<\/a> is pictured above) has been an especially popular pattern around here,\u00a0a simple chevron stripe made beautiful by the yarn and color selection.\u00a0Our Fingering weight section here at the shop is full of possibilities for this pattern; here are a few ideas to start with.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We’ve had several knitters pair the self-striping Crazy Zauberball with a solid color for a dramatic effect. Consider the clear solid shades of Brooklyn Tweed Peerie<\/a> or the gentle heathers of CoopKnits Socks Yeah!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A semi-solid hand-dyed yarn works well here, too; here’s one possible combination in Fyberspates Vivacious 4ply<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I haven’t seen a speckled “ZickZack” yet, but I’d love to see how it looks! Try Malabrigo Mechita<\/a> if you’re similarly intrigued.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Come by the shop to pick up some Crazy Zauberball for your next project!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
