There are many knitting books that include one-skein projects. But in some cases, one skein doesn’t have enough yardage for the project you
have in mind, such as a scarf, shawl or shrug. So I decided to help
you figure out how to use 2 different skeins in a project, whether they were 2 different colors of the same yarn, or two completely different
yarns. This book includes lots of original ideas for using yarns this
way. From the shopowner’s perspective, who is often left with individual skeins of yarn in the shop, this is an ideal collection of ideas to combine different colors or different fibers.
Although it appears that there are a variety of designs, the
possibilities are endless. I was fortunate to work with a group of
very talented designers who brought their own perspectives and techniques to the table. Each project in the book uses different techniques of combining yarns in a compelling way.
Some of the projects needed yarns that were complementary and of similar colors to create subtle striping effects, while others used yarns of different colors and textures to enhance their details. Some projects used a combination of a classic yarn for the body with an embellished yarn for the trim.
